I was playing Skyrim and I went to Legendary mode because it was getting a little too easy inside a dwemer dungeon. I was traveling with a follower and we came to the boss battle long story short, I died in 1 hit, and my follower was used as a punching bag next time around. I wanted to ask if there was any tune ups that could be performed on an npc or follower. a tune-up that would make them suffer like the player does. I believe the difficulty works like this in skyrim. Based on the setting, it will change the amount of damage you do to NPC's and the amount of Damage NPC's do to you. Novice 50% extra player damage, 50% less npc damage Legendary 90% Less player damage 100% more NPC damage. But when I take a follower in, he doesn't receive the same penalties because he is an NPC, so he only gets the damage boost on the player only right? I've noticed that my follower will do more damage to me and receive less damage from me, but will not suffer any penalties against other creatures: like boss battles K.O me with light armor, but he can take 20+ power hits no problem. Any suggestions, or advice? I want to keep the follower, as for role play reasons but I want him to suffer like me when I'm hit by a power attack from a boss.
