Do you prefer followers who engage in melee or ranged combat?

Recommended Posts

What is your preferred combat style for your followers in games like Fallout or Skyrim? Whether I am a ranged or melee combatant, I always seem to prefer ranged fighters who don’t get in my way and are less likely to get themselves killed.

That's actually a damn good battle strategy. I never would have thought of it. Thank you @kingpotato!!!!

When I play Skyrim I use the Bow as my primary, sneaking and picking them off from a distance.  I therefore tend to have followers that do the opposite, charge forward and close the distance with Melee while I continue to pick them off.

This is similar to how I play in Fallout New Vegas with the hunting rifle, although I have found it works best if I have another ranged character doing the same (i.e. me and Boone both picking everyone off from a million miles away).

This is pretty much what I do in Skyrim as well, but I use atronachs for this rather than followers; with followers, I still prefer them to be ranged so I don’t accidentally hack at them with my axe when I dive into the fray.
