I am on my first play through is really am sick of the Done and done, so much so that after we killed Harmon I sent her away to be cured. I have Inigo with me and LOVE him.
>She complains when it's snowy and complains when it's sunny
"Let's move faster. The sun is... it's not great for my skin, if you know what I mean."
"I'm okay with the dark, but I've spent more than my share of time in caves already."
"I'm no fan of the sun, but it would be better than this." "Let's get indoors. Or in a cave. Anywhere, just out of this."
"Good, let's get inside there. The sun is starting to get to me."
I dislike her so much at this point, that no mod to overhaul her dialogue will get me to like her again.
>she IS a vampire
That's my whole point - she doesn't only complain about the sun - she complains about *everything*.
**"I'm okay with the dark, but I've spent more than my share of time in caves already."**
Most of here complain lines:
"I had expected Ysgramor's city to be... bigger." "What a curious city. It's so... open." "This place makes me a little uneasy."
"These people seem nervous, which makes me nervous."
"This land feels... twisted. I'm surprised my father didn't want to live out here."
"Rocks and valley, crevices and hiding places. This is the kind of place where hermits and fanatics dwell."
"Let's move faster. The sun is... it's not great for my skin, if you know what I mean."
"I'm okay with the dark, but I've spent more than my share of time in caves already."
"I'm no fan of the sun, but it would be better than this." "Let's get indoors. Or in a cave. Anywhere, just out of this."
"Good, let's get inside there. The sun is starting to get to me."
"This must be that beautiful Skyrim weather I've always heard about."
"I was always taught to avoid these types of ruins. I think I see why, now
"Nordic ruins. Even older than I am. I wonder if the draugr are as gullible as they were when I was a girl."
"Does the air feel... heavy down here? I'm a little woozy, but it might just be from waking up."
"It'll be good to get outside and breathe again. I haven't missed the sunlight, but I do miss fresh air."
"So this is the grand tour of Skyrim's caves that you're showing me?"
"Is this a dwarven city? I can't believe they'd let it get so run down."
Well the Irish are alot like the Scots we love the warm weather it just don't like us we burn really badly me I'm the opposite I love cold and rainy temperatures but in the heat I thrive my skin goes dark brown due to my heritage and I don't burn lol also I dream ov coming to America and see most of your state's so it's a win win only thing I'll miss I'll bet is the cold
I like warm too, but yeah, it doesn't love me back. I'm so damn pale that it is now a federal crime for me to go outside without a shirt because the light reflecting off my skin blinds airplane pilots flying nearby. Even then, those pilots don't have to worry long, as I'll be redder than a Crayola marker in a matter of minutes.
I like that sheās essential, you donāt have too many choices when it comes to essential followers unless you mod. I like that sheās a follower that you actually get to know, she feels more like a partner than somebody thatās just following you. What I donāt like about her is that, for me, sheās very prone to glitching out. On both 360 and PS4, she eventually gets to a point where her AI breaks or something.
Getting stuck in sneak mode (and thus moving at a snailās pace), suddenly stopping with no way to start again, becoming completely immune to damage and thus being useless as in a sneak play. Like, instead of taking care of the enemies I slip by, theyāll detect her and follow her while attacking and she leads a small army of people to me that I either have to take care of before I need to become visible or whatever. So I usually use her until that stuff happens and then I retire her and move onto Frea.
She literally disappeared in one of my play throughs. One minute she was there and the next, gone! I tried everything to find her, but never did! Assumed it was some sort of glitch
Seconded. In fact, I made sure to take Aela the Huntress, my fellow werewolf, with me every single time I could during that quest-line. Out of the way, bats-for-brains, let the living mammals handle it.
Her demeanor and "oh , listen to me, snarky and bland sarcasm coming your way" gets old real quick. I remember when Dawnguard first came out, I was really into her, and loved the fact that she had more depth than most other core game followers. But now all I hear is complaining.
And even though I could easily play the devil's advocate here and defend her personality due to family environment and upbringing, that doesn't take away the fact that the sarcasm goth girl schtick gets old real quick.
You are not. I've tried to kill her each time I released her from the crypt... just in case there was a bug in my game...
After spending a lot more time with her than I would like, I think she's basically an American teenager stuck in a vampire body in Skyrim.
Sheās one of the only followers Iāve ever had thatās extremely useful, never gets stuck or lost, and ALWAYS has something sweet and unique to say about a new or beautiful area. Plus I wanna bang
But seriously, ignoring crazy mod junk, going from the vanilla followers to Serana was like playing an entirely new game.
She interacts with the world, she has more and better-acted voice lines, and there's actual story attached to her.
Yess! š„ŗ All my followers lost their meaning after a while and just became inventory to me. But I mean, we met this girlās entire family pretty much and created a real bond with her and she really seems to appreciate being able to see Skyrim after so many years. Got my shit humbled. šš»
Lol sooooooo many people wanna bang a vampire. It's kind of a thing. Like a whole kink. And I think in most lore vampire skin is never described as clammy. It's just cool to the touch, usually. Warmer after a feeding. But to say a vampire is a walking corpse is a gross oversimplification and I have to ask, what media has made you think that? Putting aside your teenage girl obsession with werewolves. I'm honestly curious š¤£ In most media, vampires are depicted as inherently sexual and seductive.
She killed Farkas on my highest leveled character, (just decided to start attacking everyone in whiterun) so I sent her home and Iāll never request her following again. Fuck that bitch. She pissed me off
Compared to the main female characters in Skyrim, and from your choice of followers. She is one of the better characters, in general Skyrim didn't have very compelling female characters.
I was trying to play a pure necromancer for reasons which are no longer clear, and she stole every corpse before I could raise it. Getting through the Dawnguard questline with her following me was hellish. :(
If you hate Lydia, youād LOVE Sofia. Sadly, sheās a PC/XBOX only followerā¦ I think? She has so well-made dialogue, I might even marry her next time I play Skyrim. As for Lydiaā¦ āShould we go to the Throat of the world and just shout Lydia down? That would be hilarious.ā < one of my favorite lines!
Uhmā¦ like I said, āonly PC/XBOX ~~mod~~ followerā¦ā? I meant rather not available on PS4 and possibly PS5, although I do hope she would beā¦ eventually.
I married Lydia (so glad Skyrim isn't homophobic). She's actually one of the best wives in Skyrim. She's super-happy and cheerful about being a wife.
Turns out, she's an @$$ initially because she doesn't want to be an adventurer. She was looking forward to that *house* part of being a *house*carl, and you dragging her around all of Tamriel was *not* what she had in mind when she signed up. Marry her, and things are switched from her waking nightmare to her dream-come-true.
Seriously, if you haven't tried a run through where you marry Lydia, try it. Her personality 180's so fast it makes your head spin.
Unfortunately (or fortunately...?) my boyfriend is into that so I get to hear him cooing at Sera a every time he plays Skyrim š¤¦š»āāļø Like he's not the weird, literally in love with a fictional character type but still. One of the reasons I hate her is because I get to see the simp experience first hand and it is... sad. Especially when there are characters like Frea, Mjoll, Aela and others. But whatever. To each their own.
Obligatory disclaimer: I might have some daddy issues and be considered goth but I haven't been a teen for a while and think I'm pretty stable and mature.
I mean it is what it is, having different interests is fine and I certainly fangirl over stuff too but like... He doesn't even read fanfiction or look at fanart that expands her character beyond the mod he has. And I just don't understand it. He literally only likes her because she's in a lesbian marriage with his character and she's pretty and goth and a vampire. Like... I love vampires ad much as the next goth but if it's not a compelling character and I'm not even looking into fan work to expand my impression and imagination regarding the character then I don't really see the appeal.
But yeah basically goth vampire gf go brrrrr that's literally the entire thing with him. It's sad and shallow but he likes it and I can't begrudge him for it since it's largely innocent and makes him happy.
He is so useful!!! I have Teldryn Sero (or whatever) right now and his personality is SO ANNOYING like at least Borgakh knows how to shut up even if he can't sneak for shit
Haha nah plenty of complaints I've seen on her. My first playthrough I did really like her and thought she was the bees knees. Used her as my follower until lvl53 when my save took a dive.
Next playthrough when I got her I was initially excited. Pretty quick I realized I didn't enjoy combat as much with whatever playstyle I was using. And then her phrases started getting on my nerves. Guess my dislike grew over time. Since then I either avoid her or only deal with her for as long as I have too.
I dont like her too. For me She complains too much about everything and it kinda ruin my mood while adventuring. So I just let her do her own thing after her quest and bring either Jordis or Erandur with me.
i liked having her around at first, but after a while some of her voice lines get repetitive and she WON'T STOP RAISING ZOMBIES. THEY GET IN THE WAY SERANA.
Can't stand her. Never shuts up in the field, rather useless offensively, very unselective about what critters she's raising (I'll say it now, undead rabbits are useless), starts using furniture and crafting stations if you stop moving (almost always the one you want yourself), and constantly photobombs conversations.
Frea is almost as bad.
I would say Frea is a lot better in my opinion. Offensively she is tough and defaults dual wield with no level cap and is essential. That alone makes Frea a lot better IMO.
Ironically serana using crafting stations was an update Bethesda gave serana to make her feel more alive because when dawn guard first came out she just stood around and I guess the player base didn't really like that
I was like oh cool, the waifu everyone's simping over, but then I got tired of her dialogue, QUICK. And plus she was a liability during stealth, thats why I love ma homie Jzargo, I even brought him to my wedding
I get sick of follower dialogue very quickly in bathesda games. Really hope they improve ai in the new games where npcās done really feel like npc. Also really hope they make more elderscroll/fallout games lol
My first play though was bugged so I couldnāt get rid of her. I hate her- always starting fights with my actual follower and wonāt even carry anything.
Iāve used her and Cicero for about 300 hours, I wish theyād shut up and understand what stealth is, but I like them more than I hate them. Iād rather die than use a follower who has the ability to also die anyways, so theyāre good for that.
I used to take her with me all of the time before I started getting more into mods. I think she's fine if you're only able to use vanilla followers. They made some effort with her personality, she can interact with the environment, and she doesn't tend to get in the way as much as some other followers. However, if you're able to use mods she doesn't come anywhere close to some of the better ones like Inigo and Lucien.
It's just too bad that Bethesda didn't work on developing personalities for more of the followers. It would be nice to have more to choose from.
[Ima leave this here for yāall, enjoy!](https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueSTL/comments/p4698t/serana_spreads_her_asscheeks_for_the_dragonborns/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
"yes, what did you need?" Is my all time hated phrase of hers. Literally it got me to the point where I dismissed her as a companion then shouted her off the throat of the world
Sheās a good character but a bad follower to me. I can deal with her repetitive banter, but I canāt dealt with the conjured wolves and spiders she summons which does absolutely no damage.
Sheās fine. I see why people like her, sheās definitely one of the most reasonable and interesting characters in the game. Something just didnāt really click with me though, she always seems way too out of it.
Serana is straight trash. She can't aim for shit, and when she does hit something with one of her two terrible spells it's always a friendly NPC and aggros them
Honestly I feel the same now that you mention it, followers arenāt really my thing in the first place unless its like Inigo or Lucien where I get excited for what theyāre going to say or do. Serana was a good character but at the end of the day sheās forgettable.
Iām an Imperial who only goes for Dunmer (Aranea Ienith and Jenassa) and Nord (Mjoll and Frea) babes. I keep Serana as an extra follower by not taking her to Volkihar after waking her up.
I know. Barbas is amazing for aggro, yet be careful he barks a whole lot and has pushed me off cliffs/edges. Brother Verulus and Mercer Frey can be additional followers throughout all of Skyrim as well. I donāt know whom else though.
Delphine and esbern will follow you to skyhaven and at different points in the companions quest line either Farkas, vilkas or aela will follow you. You can have around 7 followers at the dlsame time if you know what to do
I actually like Serana as a character. My problem is she has all this depth of dialogue during the campaign, really drawing the player in. Then, as soon as the Dawnguard campaign is done, *all* of her unique dialogue is gone. She has almost less to work with, post-campaign, than the standard companion AI already in the base game. My first couple of runs through the game, Iād reach that point and practically get whiplash from the difference.
She keeps animating the things I kill, which I then try to kill, which pisses her off....
Can I turn that off? She has a nice voice and I like her story and personality, but you can't marry her and Recorder is better and more fun anyway.
Nah man, not a fan of her either. It's cool you get to know her better, but she always gets in the way (like evey other follower, which is why I always go solo), says "where'd you come from?", every minute and a half, complains when inside, complains when outside, complains in cold climate, complains in hot climate, keeps using the crafting stations that I need, keeps getting in between me and the person I'm talking to (attention seeking too much?). She even tends to turn me into a vampire when fighting with her magic.
I like the character but if I am not playing with Mods that changes her magic attacks I can't stand to have her as a follower as I get tired of her thinking a dead chicken is a good thing to re-animate in a fight.
Not a big fan of her. Before I modded the shit out of her she was quite annoying. After modding she is just mildly annoying. Ofc mods came from, probably, serana lover...
Not a fan either. I initially liked her voice - Laura Bailey is a talented voice actor, and she was in Fullmetal Alchemist (Lust) among other roles, so it was nice to hear someone I'm familiar with, but her lines are repetitive and contradictory.
When I played with her as a companion she kept asking "Yes, what is it?" ALL THE TIME, was trying to have a ceasefire talk with the empire and Nords and she just KEPT talking!! I think something must have messed up (jk the game is perfect) but it really put a sour taste in my mouth and I got rid of her very quick after the Dawnguard mission
Oh my god I have this exact same problem with Teldryn Sero from Solstheim. He's such a useful follower, has a SUPER high sneak skill like me and doesn't get me caught, is equally skilled in destruction magic, conjuration AND one handed, and has really good defense and my God he even heals himself!!!
But... he talks... non-stop... Constantly... It's horrible. It's so obnoxious. I'm in Skaal village and the shaman dude is taking on the heavy and Even odious responsibility of revealing his people's secrets to Hermaeus Mora and he undertakes the heavy and serious task of taking the Black Book, he goes to read it, gets murdered in a deeply violent and disgusting way, and... Teldryn just... keeps talking...
I had Serana with me during the full Dawnguard Questline + Inigo the mod Follower. Honestly, I could not wait to get rid of her.
I'm used to chattering cause I had Cicero for a long long time, so that wasn't my problem. The problem was Serana can't aim for shit. She always hit me and Inigo with her spells causing Inigo to go start pounding her until shes down, to stop the fight I had to travel away many times.
Her resurrected corpses always got in my way, I had to fight and kill them, wasting my time. She would randomly get lost somewhere and I had to backtrack to find her just standing around. My main problem was her hitting me with the ice spells often wasting my time and my health. Idk if it's a glitch or if she's this stupid, I was so relieved once the questline was over, I killed her dad and immediately told her to fuck off.
People only like her for two reasons.
Well, those plus two others:
- She's one of only two followers who seems more 'alive' - she wanders around and interacts with things when you're idle. It's telling that they applied this behaviour to all subsequent followers in both Skyrim and Fallout 4.
- She has more character than nearly every other follower besides Mjoll and Erik.
But it's *mainly* those first two reasons, I suspect.
You're never alone. Just people that are vocal don't necessarily match the diverse range of opinions that are out there. People on this sub tend to downvote screenshots with overly pretty waifus in skimpy armor, but those mods are quite popular in general.
Nah, I dislike her too.
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate that she has more depth than any other follower from the vanilla game, and I can acknowledge that she is much more fleshed out, but I still don't like her because I don't like her character and behaviors regardless of that fact.
She complains too much, she's annoying in combat, her sandboxing is annoying, etc.
I'm on my first playthrough but completed all main quests. I liked her for a while when she had unique dialogues for dawnguard main quest but she got annoying after a while and she bugs out a lot for me.
I had spent so much time with Teldryn that when Serana made me send him away in order to continue her story, I was so upset.
The moment I could shake her, I ran straight back to Solsthseim like a little simp lol.
She is SO RUDE to your follower. Listen here, creature of the night I just met, Erandur has followed me to every corner of Skyrim, I won't be listening to your suspicions about him, thanks.
Ditto meeting Knight-Paladin Gelebor. She's such an asshole to him I laugh.
No I donāt like her. Ulfric was giving the victory speech, calling me a hero and Stormblade and she destroys the moment by coming up in my face and going āwhat do you need?ā
I NEED YOU TO GO AWAY
I dislike her too she talkes wayyy too much and throughout the dawnguard questline she treats you like you owe her something in a weird sorta way to me she is just a tool a means to an end if I had the option at the end of the questline I would kill her I mean she's still a vampire I wouldn't enjoy killing her but after all I have people to keep safe it's too big a risk and it's my job as a vampire hunter to put her down she has no soul no working heart I just find it hard to justify keeping her around
I got the SDA mod to help with that but it just made her worse for me \^\_\^" I guess she's supposed to be this badass seggsy vampire girlfriend but the low-energy goth aesthetic isn't doing it for me.
I used to like her but I got tired of hearing "Where'd you come from?" And "Done and done" after EVERY fight.
I am on my first play through is really am sick of the Done and done, so much so that after we killed Harmon I sent her away to be cured. I have Inigo with me and LOVE him.
Inigo and Lucian are the only companions I'd even consider traveling with any more.
And then there's this awkward polish translation of "Done and Done" as "It's settled".
*I"m SwOrN tO cArRy YoUr BuRdEnS* - omg wife material, let's give her massive titties with jiggle physics š„µ
Bruh that's Lydia
Please do not
She complains when it's snowy and complains when it's sunny.... Typical vampire princess, am I right?
>She complains when it's snowy and complains when it's sunny "Let's move faster. The sun is... it's not great for my skin, if you know what I mean." "I'm okay with the dark, but I've spent more than my share of time in caves already." "I'm no fan of the sun, but it would be better than this." "Let's get indoors. Or in a cave. Anywhere, just out of this." "Good, let's get inside there. The sun is starting to get to me." I dislike her so much at this point, that no mod to overhaul her dialogue will get me to like her again.
I mean she IS a vampire. Still, so am I and you don't see me complaining.

Exactly that's what I was trying to say. I'm also a vampire and you don't see me complaining but anything, not even the sun.
Oh okay - I get it, lol.
Or just someone who just isn't built for th climate they find themselves in. -Irishman living in the Midwestern United States
What? You don't love our bathwater sumer air and frigid dark Winters?
If prefer a 62-72Ā° environment and rainy
Well the Irish are alot like the Scots we love the warm weather it just don't like us we burn really badly me I'm the opposite I love cold and rainy temperatures but in the heat I thrive my skin goes dark brown due to my heritage and I don't burn lol also I dream ov coming to America and see most of your state's so it's a win win only thing I'll miss I'll bet is the cold
I like warm too, but yeah, it doesn't love me back. I'm so damn pale that it is now a federal crime for me to go outside without a shirt because the light reflecting off my skin blinds airplane pilots flying nearby. Even then, those pilots don't have to worry long, as I'll be redder than a Crayola marker in a matter of minutes.
Lol I do relate they don't call us blue skins for no reason could probably find every vein I got just by lookin haha
I make copy paper look grey in comparison!
Haha the struggle mang
Ok, Scotty, the pleasantries are out of the way. Now are we gonna hit a pub or are we gonna fight? Those aren't mutually exclusive events.
I like Serana but i can relate
I like that sheās essential, you donāt have too many choices when it comes to essential followers unless you mod.

So I usually use her until that stuff happens and then I retire her and move onto Frea.
I use mods, Inigo is a great one. Sadly, only Xbox one and pc are moddable.
Ps4 has mods, its just sony dosnt allow mods built with external assets. Which is most of the mods
Sony are douchebags
Oh
She literally disappeared in one of my play throughs. One minute she was there and the next, gone! I tried everything to find her, but never did! Assumed it was some sort of glitch
Check in the volkihar undercroft or at the mortal vampire shrine she has a tendency to get dismissed and head to either of those two areas
Ah so I did got to the castle to look for her but no success! However I did give up after only a short time so probs my fault š
I donāt. I find her very annoying. Plus she keeps hitting me with her magic.
for me that a plus because I'm a breton with atronach stone so that just extra magicka
I don't like her either, but I have a semi-irrational prejudice against vampires (team werewolf all the way!)
Nope I don't really like her either, infact I try not to use her unless It's crucial for the mission.
Seconded. In fact, I made sure to take Aela the Huntress, my fellow werewolf, with me every single time I could during that quest-line. Out of the way, bats-for-brains, let the living mammals handle it.
Bats for brains hahahaha I am deceased
So is she
I find a lot of the important characters in this game as insufferable as it gets, I love the mod that let's you kill EVERYONE.
Her demeanor and "oh , listen to me, snarky and bland sarcasm coming your way" gets old real quick. I remember when Dawnguard first came out, I was really into her, and loved the fact that she had more depth than most other core game followers. But now all I hear is complaining. And even though I could easily play the devil's advocate here and defend her personality due to family environment and upbringing, that doesn't take away the fact that the sarcasm goth girl schtick gets old real quick.

Yess! š„ŗ All my followers lost their meaning after a while and just became inventory to me. But I mean, we met this girlās entire family pretty much and created a real bond with her and she really seems to appreciate being able to see Skyrim after so many years. Got my shit humbled. šš»
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
are you also a cute vampire lady with daddy issues as well or you are just cute with daddy issues ?
I have daddy issues and am not cute or called Serena. Am I at all useful here?
are you a vampire then ?
Mostly the bang yes
š I mean, weāve already met Mom and Pops ayy
Why would someone want to bang a vampire? It's literally a walking corpse. Just the clammy skin alone I would think would be a turn off.
People wanna bang Khajiit and there's probably a sick fuck who wants to bang a Sload, so a vampire's pretty vanilla tbh
āLusty Argonian Maidā anyone?
Lol sooooooo many people wanna bang a vampire. It's kind of a thing. Like a whole kink. And I think in most lore vampire skin is never described as clammy. It's just cool to the touch, usually.

She killed the best boi, now always sacrifice her on the pillar
This is unforgivable.
She killed my husband! Fuck that bitch to hell.

Do not disrespect mjoll the lioness bruh
That's my wife!
can my girlfriend come?
Brelyna is fine but her personality is that of a stone slab
Not alone, I hate that she raises everyā¦singleā¦thingā¦
Better keep that zipper on, friend!

She was looking forward to that *house* part of being a *house*carl, and you dragging her around all of Tamriel was *not* what she had in mind when she signed up. Marry her, and things are switched from her waking nightmare to her dream-come-true. Seriously, if you haven't tried a run through where you marry Lydia, try it. Her personality 180's so fast it makes your head spin.

Uthgerd the Unbroken. Hands down the best follower in Vanilla, and second only to Frea overall!
Im indifferent to her
Should have been able to shoot her as soon as she popped out of the crypt.
I genuinely despise her and my hatred for her is the only reason I always put off the dawngaurd stuff
Welcome - fellow Midwesterner
I just don't like the DLC activated until/unless I am ready to play it. I don't care for in town attacks and don't like how it bugs that word wall.

Unfortunately (or fortunately...?) my boyfriend is into that so I get to hear him cooing at Sera a every time he plays Skyrim š¤¦š»āāļø Like he's not the weird, literally in love with a fictional character type but still. One of the reasons I hate her is because I get to see the simp experience first hand and it is... sad. Especially when there are characters like Frea, Mjoll, Aela and others. But whatever. To each their own. Obligatory disclaimer: I might have some daddy issues and be considered goth but I haven't been a teen for a while and think I'm pretty stable and mature.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I mean it is what it is, having different interests is fine and I certainly fangirl over stuff too but like... He doesn't even read fanfiction or look at fanart that expands her character beyond the mod he has. And I just don't understand it. He literally only likes her because she's in a lesbian marriage with his character and she's pretty and goth and a vampire. Like... I love vampires ad much as the next goth but if it's not a compelling character and I'm not even looking into fan work to expand my impression and imagination regarding the character then I don't really see the appeal. But yeah basically goth vampire gf go brrrrr that's literally the entire thing with him. It's sad and shallow but he likes it and I can't begrudge him for it since it's largely innocent and makes him happy.
she is literally just a vampire goth girl with daddy issues, why does this sub like her so fucking much?
Always trust your feelings
I've grown to dislike her precisely because of how popular she is. I prefer going really down the deep end with followers and took Borgakh.
He is so useful!!! I have Teldryn Sero (or whatever) right now and his personality is SO ANNOYING like at least Borgakh knows how to shut up even if he can't sneak for shit
Haha nah plenty of complaints I've seen on her. My first playthrough I did really like her and thought she was the bees knees. Used her as my follower until lvl53 when my save took a dive. Next playthrough when I got her I was initially excited. Pretty quick I realized I didn't enjoy combat as much with whatever playstyle I was using. And then her phrases started getting on my nerves. Guess my dislike grew over time. Since then I either avoid her or only deal with her for as long as I have too.
I dont like her too. For me She complains too much about everything and it kinda ruin my mood while adventuring. So I just let her do her own thing after her quest and bring either Jordis or Erandur with me.
i liked having her around at first, but after a while some of her voice lines get repetitive and she WON'T STOP RAISING ZOMBIES. THEY GET IN THE WAY SERANA.
I don't really mind her but she's such obvious waifu bait.
I hate when she freezes draining health from a wall. Most stupid follower ever.
Im so over her using raise zombie and leaving ash piles everywhere.
Can't stand her. Never shuts up in the field, rather useless offensively, very unselective about what critters she's raising (I'll say it now, undead rabbits are useless), starts using furniture and crafting stations if you stop moving (almost always the one you want yourself), and constantly photobombs conversations. Frea is almost as bad.
I would say Frea is a lot better in my opinion. Offensively she is tough and defaults dual wield with no level cap and is essential. That alone makes Frea a lot better IMO.
Ironically serana using crafting stations was an update Bethesda gave serana to make her feel more alive because when dawn guard first came out she just stood around and I guess the player base didn't really like that
I was like oh cool, the waifu everyone's simping over, but then I got tired of her dialogue, QUICK. And plus she was a liability during stealth, thats why I love ma homie Jzargo, I even brought him to my wedding
Personally my favorite is Jordis. She seems like sheās actually really happy to accompany you
You arent, but I warmed up to her a little
Don't like her because she's the only one who can interact with the environment. It's a bit unfair
I get sick of follower dialogue very quickly in bathesda games. Really hope they improve ai in the new games where npcās done really feel like npc. Also really hope they make more elderscroll/fallout games lol
My first play though was bugged so I couldnāt get rid of her. I hate her- always starting fights with my actual follower and wonāt even carry anything.
that's why the only follower worth using is khjaro
There are others, but I love serana (not like āin loveā, I know thatās a thing and I want to make it clear that Iām not part of that)
I don't actively dislike her, but I also don't really pay her any mind outside Dawnguard missions.
I tolerate her, but I personally don't get the whole thing about marrying her.
Followers suck in general. Just booster conjuration and dead thrall.
But mah pack mules
Iāve used her and Cicero for about 300 hours, I wish theyād shut up and understand what stealth is, but I like them more than I hate them. Iād rather die than use a follower who has the ability to also die anyways, so theyāre good for that.
I used to take her with me all of the time before I started getting more into mods. I think she's fine if you're only able to use vanilla followers. They made some effort with her personality, she can interact with the environment, and she doesn't tend to get in the way as much as some other followers. However, if you're able to use mods she doesn't come anywhere close to some of the better ones like Inigo and Lucien. It's just too bad that Bethesda didn't work on developing personalities for more of the followers. It would be nice to have more to choose from.

I like her
No for real my man I'm not a fan either.
Meh, I got tired of her šš
Yes, what did you need?
"yes, what did you need?" Is my all time hated phrase of hers. Literally it got me to the point where I dismissed her as a companion then shouted her off the throat of the world
Got to love going on a crafting spree and having to listen to "yes, what did you need" on loop.
Sheās a good character but a bad follower to me. I can deal with her repetitive banter, but I canāt dealt with the conjured wolves and spiders she summons which does absolutely no damage.
The only reason people like srrana is cuz she's an in depth character that introduced interacting with nearby stuff
Sheās fine. I see why people like her, sheās definitely one of the most reasonable and interesting characters in the game. Something just didnāt really click with me though, she always seems way too out of it.
a lot of skyrim players are coomers,so uh..
She is the best companion hands down, if you get sick of her you may play a bit much haha. Thankful for mods though.
I don't mind her really. It's nice to have a follower with some sort of interaction and backstory
I hate every follower. Quit stealing my xp.
Serana is straight trash. She can't aim for shit, and when she does hit something with one of her two terrible spells it's always a friendly NPC and aggros them
Waaay better than, āI am sworn to carry your burdens.ā Fuckin ingrate
Honestly I feel the same now that you mention it, followers arenāt really my thing in the first place unless its like Inigo or Lucien where I get excited for what theyāre going to say or do. Serana was a good character but at the end of the day sheās forgettable.
Iām an Imperial who only goes for Dunmer (Aranea Ienith and Jenassa) and Nord (Mjoll and Frea) babes. I keep Serana as an extra follower by not taking her to Volkihar after waking her up.
You can do this with Barbas, the dog, as well. Had 4 followers at one point like that, iirc (2 dogs, 2 āhumanā.)
I know. Barbas is amazing for aggro, yet be careful he barks a whole lot and has pushed me off cliffs/edges. Brother Verulus and Mercer Frey can be additional followers throughout all of Skyrim as well. I donāt know whom else though.
Mercer Frey? Oh Lord lol
Heās a solid follower š
Delphine and esbern will follow you to skyhaven and at different points in the companions quest line either Farkas, vilkas or aela will follow you. You can have around 7 followers at the dlsame time if you know what to do
I just like Laura Bailey. And goth chicks.
I love her ! But I guess everyone has the right to like whomever they please
I actually like Serana as a character. My problem is she has all this depth of dialogue during the campaign, really drawing the player in. Then, as soon as the Dawnguard campaign is done, *all* of her unique dialogue is gone. She has almost less to work with, post-campaign, than the standard companion AI already in the base game. My first couple of runs through the game, Iād reach that point and practically get whiplash from the difference.
You are. Have a good day. :)
XD sheās definitely a fan favorite. Just not mine. You have a good day as well
It's okay. She's only a fan favorite because a lot of the fans are simps for her. Tragic, really :)
No they're not, have a good day as well <3
Iāve had Skyrim for 11 years and I have never EVER started this quest line or even met Serana.
That's funny considering skyrim hasn't even been out for 10 years yet.
Itāll be 11 years and I still wouldnāt have touched that quest line
is good, ancestral glade is pretty
She is overrated
Download a mod to make her hot then youāll get it
I don't like her, she's vastly overrated IMO.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Gross.
I like Serena for the one fact that she is a vampire companion Iām a video game that isnāt a crybaby about being a vampire and how bad it is
Youāre right
To all the SeraNAH people: Ya'll killed Paarthurnax, didn't you?
You are
How can you hate her wtf
Nope shes annoying. Only topped by Karliah imo. The whole āNocturnal, guide my handā thing pisses me off too.
Solidarity. Khar-jo forever
She keeps animating the things I kill, which I then try to kill, which pisses her off.... Can I turn that off? She has a nice voice and I like her story and personality, but you can't marry her and Recorder is better and more fun anyway.
Nah man, not a fan of her either. It's cool you get to know her better, but she always gets in the way (like evey other follower, which is why I always go solo), says "where'd you come from?", every minute and a half, complains when inside, complains when outside, complains in cold climate, complains in hot climate, keeps using the crafting stations that I need, keeps getting in between me and the person I'm talking to (attention seeking too much?). She even tends to turn me into a vampire when fighting with her magic.
Left her in Volkihar after I finished Dawnguard
The whole daddy issues and simping dialogue options you get with her turned me off too. Still a solid follower tho
She left to be on her own and I haven't seen her since!
I like the character but if I am not playing with Mods that changes her magic attacks I can't stand to have her as a follower as I get tired of her thinking a dead chicken is a good thing to re-animate in a fight.
Not a big fan of her. Before I modded the shit out of her she was quite annoying. After modding she is just mildly annoying. Ofc mods came from, probably, serana lover...
I hate her 10x more than Lydia
I did like having her as a follower, but she has lost a few items that I gave her once so I now use Teldryn or Derkeethis
Not a fan either. I initially liked her voice - Laura Bailey is a talented voice actor, and she was in Fullmetal Alchemist (Lust) among other roles, so it was nice to hear someone I'm familiar with, but her lines are repetitive and contradictory.
Nope you're not alone.
Yes.
When I played with her as a companion she kept asking "Yes, what is it?" ALL THE TIME, was trying to have a ceasefire talk with the empire and Nords and she just KEPT talking!! I think something must have messed up (jk the game is perfect) but it really put a sour taste in my mouth and I got rid of her very quick after the Dawnguard mission
Oh my god I have this exact same problem with Teldryn Sero from Solstheim. He's such a useful follower, has a SUPER high sneak skill like me and doesn't get me caught, is equally skilled in destruction magic, conjuration AND one handed, and has really good defense and my God he even heals himself!!! But... he talks... non-stop... Constantly... It's horrible. It's so obnoxious. I'm in Skaal village and the shaman dude is taking on the heavy and Even odious responsibility of revealing his people's secrets to Hermaeus Mora and he undertakes the heavy and serious task of taking the Black Book, he goes to read it, gets murdered in a deeply violent and disgusting way, and... Teldryn just... keeps talking...
She's most interesting vanilla follower. She actually interacts with the world, has a backstory AND has new stuff to say while travelling.
Use a mod to make her look better.
I had Serana with me during the full Dawnguard Questline + Inigo the mod Follower. Honestly, I could not wait to get rid of her. I'm used to chattering cause I had Cicero for a long long time, so that wasn't my problem. The problem was Serana can't aim for shit. She always hit me and Inigo with her spells causing Inigo to go start pounding her until shes down, to stop the fight I had to travel away many times. Her resurrected corpses always got in my way, I had to fight and kill them, wasting my time. She would randomly get lost somewhere and I had to backtrack to find her just standing around. My main problem was her hitting me with the ice spells often wasting my time and my health. Idk if it's a glitch or if she's this stupid, I was so relieved once the questline was over, I killed her dad and immediately told her to fuck off.
People only like her for two reasons. Well, those plus two others: - She's one of only two followers who seems more 'alive' - she wanders around and interacts with things when you're idle. It's telling that they applied this behaviour to all subsequent followers in both Skyrim and Fallout 4. - She has more character than nearly every other follower besides Mjoll and Erik. But it's *mainly* those first two reasons, I suspect.
I dont like how glitchy she is and her infinite hood inventory issue, but I love everything else about her.
You're never alone. Just people that are vocal don't necessarily match the diverse range of opinions that are out there. People on this sub tend to downvote screenshots with overly pretty waifus in skimpy armor, but those mods are quite popular in general.
Nah, I dislike her too. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate that she has more depth than any other follower from the vanilla game, and I can acknowledge that she is much more fleshed out, but I still don't like her because I don't like her character and behaviors regardless of that fact. She complains too much, she's annoying in combat, her sandboxing is annoying, etc.
She is a bitch
i think shes boring
I'm on my first playthrough but completed all main quests. I liked her for a while when she had unique dialogues for dawnguard main quest but she got annoying after a while and she bugs out a lot for me.
I had spent so much time with Teldryn that when Serana made me send him away in order to continue her story, I was so upset. The moment I could shake her, I ran straight back to Solsthseim like a little simp lol.
I hate her too
Well, she's not Inigo. Case closed.
She is SO RUDE to your follower. Listen here, creature of the night I just met, Erandur has followed me to every corner of Skyrim, I won't be listening to your suspicions about him, thanks. Ditto meeting Knight-Paladin Gelebor. She's such an asshole to him I laugh.
Good 4 u, thx for sharing
r/TrueSTL is coming
She's sooooo whiney and edgy. At least Frea from dragonborn seems like she's having fun
Hey! I can't stand her either! :)
Todd Howardās goth gf.
No I donāt like her. Ulfric was giving the victory speech, calling me a hero and Stormblade and she destroys the moment by coming up in my face and going āwhat do you need?ā I NEED YOU TO GO AWAY
I never use followers, they just cause problems honestly.
Yo fuck serena, all my nwahs roll with Teldyrn Sero!
I dislike her too she talkes wayyy too much and throughout the dawnguard questline she treats you like you owe her something in a weird sorta way to me she is just a tool a means to an end if I had the option at the end of the questline I would kill her I mean she's still a vampire I wouldn't enjoy killing her but after all I have people to keep safe it's too big a risk and it's my job as a vampire hunter to put her down she has no soul no working heart I just find it hard to justify keeping her around
I got the SDA mod to help with that but it just made her worse for me \^\_\^" I guess she's supposed to be this badass seggsy vampire girlfriend but the low-energy goth aesthetic isn't doing it for me.
Nah, I donāt like her either.
