A few minutes later, to my surprise, I spot her to the east of me, still swimming. I swim across the channel and stand around on the main island for a bit to see if Mjoll will actually emerge from the water at some point. Did the game already wink her out of existence already and plop her back in Riften, or is she still paddling around somewhere? A minute after deciding I won't let her out of my sight, I've let her out of my sight. After coming up for air and healing myself, I dive back down and realize I've completely lost her.
Like all gifted detectives, I start drowning almost immediately.
Second observation: she is doing her incredibly slow swimming along the very bottom of the channel, which is making her even slower. I'll follow her stealthily (or as stealthily as a giant orc clad in Daedric armor can) and see how she gets to Riften first-hand.įirst observation: she is an incredibly slow swimmer. Is Mjoll capable of doing that? If she's not, how will she get off the continent? Also, what happens in general when you brush off a follower? Do they really remain persistent in the world for their entire journey back to their home city, or does the game just pluck them up and drop them off once they've walked out of sight? I decide I'll find out by simply not letting Mjoll walk out of sight. The only way I can travel between Skyrim and Solstheim is by paying a ship captain to ferry me between the cities of Raven Rock (in Solstheim) and Windhelm.
How, exactly, is Mjoll going to get back to Riften? My original column idea is instantly forgotten as Braul the Easily Distracted Orc decides to investigate this incredibly important mystery. If we were currently in Skyrim, she could just walk to Riften, but we're not: we're on the island of Solstheim, a completely different continent where the new Dragonborn content takes place. As she walks away, however, a thought occurs to me.
Mjoll seems a bit crestfallen, but tells me she'll be in Riften should I need her again. I've been playing the Dragonborn expansion pack for Skyrim, and I want to try out (and write a column about) the new followers it offers. However, I've just informed her I don't want her following me any longer. She carries my spare gear with no complaint, she never runs out of arrows, and she doesn't mind accompanying me when I murder a bunch of farmers because I can't find a common axe. I love my Skyrim wife, Mjoll the Lioness.
