Skyrim Serana Is The Most Advanced AI?
I have played Dragon Age,Mass Effect Trilogy best followers in games bringing
something else other games dont,but Skyrim Serana brings something else they
never give us, Serana has to be the most advance AI bot I have ever played in
games, nothing quite like Serana why? game makers knew what they were doing
with Serana,they created the most advance AI in purpose bringing new dimension
in games, Shes so photo like to, I like to save Serana in saves and final save.

So the next day when I save final save at night i can remember time we spent.
I take photos as Shes so photo like, hardly the same photo, how did the game
makers get to have Serana pose so well for the camara? the way she comes close
to DB face and smiles?like how person does in life.Thank the game makers wow.
Skyrim is the only game that brings it where other games never do.

Skyrim is so great adventure with Serana and I don't want it to end,she makes
it worth while having female follower that hardly complains, what more can we
ask for follower in Skyrim? how could they make follower more advance in
the sequel? how? Serana always seems to snuggle to Dragon Born when DB has
conversation with other npc,moving DB,what does that mean? Shes bored?

I love how when i visit proudspire manor to store items in room,Serana
will enter the room or wait outside room sitting on chair.Visit shop pub she
sit join in or places she uses weapons smith items etc.

Funny how Fallout 4 so called advance game than Skyrim? followers
are not advance or like Serana? nor wow like her? Shes much better.
Serana more advance than any npc? well worth having dlc.

How are mod followers better? What do people prefer best?
What are peoples best experience with Serana?

she does probably have the most dialog and involvement. quest wise she is very involved and it is quit long for a dlc in a good way no mater which side you pick. generally is pretty general like caves she has a general reply. she does at least have a reply for most environments that mater.

I don't use mod followers, however my best experience with Serana is when i can finally dismiss her again and don't have to hear her whining anymore. Also, combat wise she's D tier at best.

Best followers in the game.

5- Teldyn, 500 cash, can have him at the start of the game, conjuration, destruction, one handed, full set of armor, can't go wrong with the guy.

4- Durak, primarily an archer, secondary one handed, no max level, extra damage 1,5

3- Celann, primarily one handed, secondary archer, no max level, extra damage 1,5. Basically almost the same as Durak, but he's a Breton with 25% base magic resist and slightly better perks.

2- Freya, one of the few followers with dual wield perks, no max level, minimum level of 20, very good perk setup.

1- Ralis, expensive, lvl 60 max, another dual wielder, very good perk setup, extra damage 2.0. This dude can single handedly play the game for you. By far the highest damage output of any follower. Yeah he has no max level, but at 60, who cares, he's never dropped down to the floor for me once. And he doesn't whine, he's direct with his speech, just how i like my followers, i don't need them to say the same thing every minute about the scenery.

Serena is the first self aware AI
which is the reason why bethesda love to re-release skyrim so much

do the right thing and put her out of misery

Serana, bad to worse. Bad AI that climbs all over the player and gets in the way too much.

"...this Skyrim weather I've always herd about." - Seriously? Yesmir's Beard, it's not like she's an alien. She lived there.

Then, there's the fact that if Serana is in your party, it nerfs your Drain Life spell, if you're a vampire. The damn spell was already unless but this alone is an incentive to kick her ass to the curb.

THEN... the absolute WORST part of her, is she will get locked in combat after every other fight. I will never take her anywhere. Except home and I can't get there fast enough.

every companion. they are meat shields at best. to be honest in s fight i would rather have summons for lots of reasons.

I like Indigo...Havent tried Serena but I'm sure she's good too...

I just wish Indigo was as weird and quirky as he was when you first get him in Riften jail. He kinda levels out mentally after that.

Other than his personality he's just a straight forward warrior. Had to take his ebony bow away because he was one shotting ♥♥♥♥ before my flames hit.

TBH.. the best followers, in general, are Housecarls.
Why? Because they don't encroach upon the player. That alone is the selling point. Plus, they have the combat warrior skill package. HA, 1H, Block and Archery.

Lydia is easily accessible early game and can be with you the entire playthrough.

The most powerful followers in the game are the ones from the Tribunal CC. They can level to 100.

Alas, the best followers, period... are Dead Thrall Draugr Overlords.

I love Serana as a companion, but literally just finished Dawnguard with Serana yesterday and had this situation multiple times...

Serana: 'Where did you come from!?!'
Me: 'You... just raised him from the dead...'

Lydia will be with you the entire playthrough whether you recruit her or not because she's the voice of half the women in Skyrim

But Lydia gets in front of DB too much and complains mention DB should not be here.
She can die to.

How advance or worst was followers in the prequels?
If i look at her, she stops doing her stare thing and looks at DB

annoying or not it is more advanced as in some do not care if you are trespassing with them on party or theft.

they have a lot more that they do with the environment than in any other game previous in the franchise as well there replies to areas. serena in this game does indeed have full automation when idle when there are things to interact with withing some range. where others do not as much.

they all can get in the way especially in narrow corridors where you have to take point but now can not fall back at all. or ice(all bigger summons really) summon that blocks entry ways where you have to banish or re-summon further away.
