In last week’s poll, we asked readers if they ever had a dog as a Skyrim companion.
He followed me home from the Dwemer ruins. Just like in the real world, a dog can truly be your very best friend. Sure, you can fork over 500 gold and retain the services of several good hirelings (see our earlier article Help Wanted: Finding the Best Hirelings in Skyrim), but why not forego a two-legged follower and get yourself a dog? Or better yet, get a hireling and a dog (yep, with a dog you can have two companions at the same time). The world of Skyrim is vast, and exploring this northern province of Tamriel can be a lonely business at times.
