In this video, I want to discuss the potential followers that I believe should and shouldn't be sacrificed to Boethiah in the quest "Boethiah's Calling".
I also fixed my mic so my audio should be a lot better in this video and future uploads!
0:00 - Intro
2:03 - Starting the quest
3:57 - Who NOT to sacrifice
7:54 - Who to sacrifice
13:00 - Who you should ABSOLUTELY sacrifice
13:52 - Ending the quest
14:48 - Outro

No, as i write in another comment, the best is using a mod that makes Ondolemar (Thalmor head in Markarth) a follower: act like helping him, betray him, so you progress towards a daedric artifact and in the process cleaning the land of a Thalmor. Sometimes i even kill him after casting soul trap, or using a Soul Trap enchanted weapon.

In Njada’s defense, you’d be pretty mad too if some random stranger joined your faction, then (from your perspective) capitalized on the Harbinger’s *death* to take over within a week. She’s been there far longer than the player, yet the player still manages to outrank her. I’d be pissed too

You make a good point. In-game though, you (the Dragonborn) are simply better than her in every possible way; the Companions have minimum standards for entry (e.g., you have to beat up Vilkas) but is more or less a meritocracy after that. Njada can get stuffed for being mid.

Lol you may have convinced me to actually pay lip service to these three vile beings. I will happily bludgeon that old goat Logrolf into a paste. Mostly because he worships a Daedra of martial strength but can't even take a mild BDSM session. Poser. Could not care less about ventilating that weak willed fool Vigilant Tyranus. Not two minutes of a locked door, some cheap theatrics and supernatural house cleaning and he's happy to murder the only person in Skyrim that ever tried to help him or befriend him, as a worshipper of the Aedra of loyalty, guardianship and resistance to Daedric corruption. Disgusting. I'll even slit that dabbling fool from Dawnstar. He is crying for Numantia and I am happy to oblige 😂 But idk about sacrificing a companion. Even someone as enraging, as violating as Lydia. Feels bad man. Even though it is she who comes into my room and eats my bread and sits and watches me. And my man. In bed. For hours. Even on my Talos damned wedding night 😮

Cosnach?! Come on, man. He's my favourite, and i'll tell you why. • You can get him to drink and do that hysterical 'drunk' animation. Love to see that. • if you wear an amulet of mara, he says "An amulet of mara? Oh i'd marry you, i'd marry you twice!" Preferably when he's drunk. • if you do marry him, he's genuinely the most wholesome husband. Showering you with compliment and 'i love yous'. • Says "Remember, hit the one in the middle!" In battle. Guy has Auto-Brewery Syndrome. Also, he's just your average drunk lad in some corner bar. A good hang, chill vibes, and some drunken shenanigans, if you're up for it.

@@ApollyonZKX Argonian and Khajit are sentient races of Mundus and Tamriel, why shouldn't be cannibalism? Is like saying that an asian person eating a central african, or a caucasian eating someone from middle east, or viceversa, is not cannibalism! And Khajith by lore actually hate Namira even more than other races. If they ever perform some sort of prayer, is only to placate her, an never to whorship. Plus, by TES lore, the race that use to practice cannibalism the most are the Bosmer/Wood elves. However they use to practice that only on the bodies of enemies they killed in battle for other reasons and sometimes on beloved that already died, and they did that as a positive ritual involving honoring the strength and spirit of the fallen, and asking their soul to grant them part of that strength, plus is a way to pray and preserve the circle of life and death in nature. Namira cannibals on the other hand feed themself on the enemies to desecrate and torture their bodies even in death, and to bring squalor and decay to the world (2 of the things on wich Namira rules). In Skyrim, apart from roleplaying as a Namira (or in general all daedra) whorshiper, the closer thing is playing as a Forsworn, or a necromancer

@@Pan-oy2ck not true, different reason for cannibalism: for bosmer is whorshipping the death of a strong enemy (killed by other reasons) or a beloved (died in another way), and whiorshipping the cycle of life and death in nature. For Namira followers cannibalism is STEALING their life force, desecrating the bodies of the fallens, and bringing decay to the world. Plus they don't wait you to die in other way, they could kill you only to feed and whorshipping Namira... and in the worst scenario even to curse your body as a necromancer's tool

Cosnach, Eola and Ralis are some of my favorite followers. You're sleeping on Cosnach, who is probably the best early game follower. You can unlock him for an Ale, he has the Breton racial passive (25% Magic Resist) along with great Ai. He will dual wield if you give him a Forsworn sword. Uthgerd the Unbroken is the one you should sacrifice. She is an unemployed drunk (spends 24 hours a day in the Bannered Mare) who has a house that she is too drunk to find (until she's fleeing the Battle of Whiterun). She killed a companion when she tried to join. She spends her days picking fights and drinking.

Total win! PS: Sometimes i even kill him after casting soul trap, or using a Soul Trap enchanted weapon. Max gain for me, max pain for him.

We have to keep Ondolemar around, he's literally the only Thalmor who can grasp manners even a little. Since we can't reasonably kill every Thalmor member (since they've taken over them islands, I would assume they've made party support mandatory so most Altmer are technically Thalmor on the homeland, we don't have to jump to genocide first) we're going to have to give the ex-Thalmors we spare a good example, and one with manners will be an important deprograming tool.

@@YourWaywardDestiny Ondolemar can grasp manners? He is in Markarth only for his duty of Justiciar, searching for any proof of someone whorshipping Talos... and he never say nothing to put him above average Thalmors... he actually acts more or less like Elenwen. But thier calm behaviours are not "good manners" towards the citizen of Skyrim, but they act simply accordingly to their diplomatic/politic role. On your assumption that in Summerset Island most Altmer are Thalmor (at least most of the influencial ones), you are correct: by lore all the Altmer in their homeland that didn't support them were killed or escaped the province. I would like to know if there is some sort of hidden internal resistance movement, it would be cool. About the genocide, i never think is an option, since i understand the difference between Thalmor high ranks operatives (guilty) Thalmor low ranks or supporters (that can be fooled around by their propaganda, but can be redemeed, and we have an example in game, the Falkreath priest of Arkay), and other non Thalmor Altmer and Bosmer and we have a lot of neutral elves, and some altmer that are actively against the Thalmor, (like the Imperial Legate in the Rift Imperial Camp)... respect for those 2 last groups!

@@alessiodaniotti264 Nothing you're saying is wrong. But also most every other Thalmor you meet will decide it's time to resort to violence after two questions. Yes, I'd say that means he can grasp manners better, and significantly better than most others, actually. In comparison, that's some damn good manners, even if they're performative and not particularly genuine. It's not about him being particularly good yet, it's more about how much worse the rest seem to be. Also, just because we're talking about him and important people in the same breath, we don't know how important Ondolemar really is. All he says is he's the "commander of the region" and that tells us almost nothing. What does he mean by region? Of all of Skyrim? Of the south-western bit of Skyrim? Of the Reach? Of Markarth? Of the little strip he walks outside of the Jarl's throne room? His whole command could be those two soldiers who follow him around and his entire mission is to irritate the Jarl into arresting Talos worshippers in the city.

Define "hero", because even in real history all heroes have dark sides and secrets. That's what makes fantasy and history (or fantasy based on history) so interesting in the first place. If there were no room for darkness, light wouldn't be defined without shadows. The world is a power struggle between light and dark, so fantasy always includes both. You can be anything you want to be in Skyrim, and I encourage that people do at least one "evil" or "antihero" playthrough with complicated moral decisions. It's a good ethical exercise.

There is an interesting situation of a Priest of Boethia planning a major sacrifice. In the quest for the Mace of Molag Bal you are introduced to Logrolf the Willful. Now go to Dragon Bridge and talk to Azzada Lylvieve about who saved him from the streets of Markarth , an old soldier named Logrolf the Bent. First names aren’t repeated in the game but rarely. Also, would you take alms from a priest of Boethia? Disguised as an old Nord soldier who has a house (!) in Markarth, Azzada grows, leaves the city and makes a good living in Dragonbridge. The ultimate sacrifice for Boethia is to take this man at the pinnacle of success and sacrifice him to Boethia. This is I believe is Logrolf’s plan now destroyed by your helping Molag Bal.

Also Uthgerd is… a pretty questionable individual. She got kicked out of the Companions after killing someone in a training fight. The Companions who are an order of werewolves willing to take contracts to beat up various citizens of Skyrim for extortion or coercion… these are the people who said that Uthgerd was too violent and unrestrained for them. And implicitly: they probably realise that someone like Uthgerd would be extremely reckless and uncontrolled with the beast blood. The Companions depend on secrecy about their true nature to survive after all. Uthgerd never shows any regret for the person she killed and mostly seems to resent the fact that it cost her her place in the Companions and spends her days drinking and brawling with strangers. In other words: her motives seem wholly selfish and she doesn’t seem to have made any significant effort to atone for her deeds.

I usually sacrifice Lydia. She's by far the most annoying housecarl and follower, and I have absolutely no problems to send her to the pillar. Njada has this weird habit of falling onto my axe whenever I enter the halls of the Companions, so she's not around long enough to be sacrificed. Although, now that you mentioned Adelaisa Vendicci, I am considering choosing her in my next playthrough, because frankly, she's the only follower who actively tries to get you killed, by ordering the bombing of Japhets Folly, knowing full well that you're still running around there running that assassination job for her.

Ralis used to be my main go to for the exact reasons given in the video because if you fight him, he sort of reveals himself as still being a fanatic of that Dragon Priest. But...once I found out that Ralis has by far the highest damage output of all followers, I chose Faendal instead because he's a total hypocrit. He won't steal for you after you delivered his FORGED LETTER...WTF?! He gets all high and mighty about morality after what he did?? Also, if you break into a house, he stands there and says "Your not supposed to be in here!!" and if you steal while he's your follower, he will straight up leave your service and go home.

I'm already dabbling with Demon Lords, I don't need to be pressing my luck any more than I need to be. We don't know how attached to her followers Namira might get. Cosnach is the best choice choice, followed by Njada. Cosnach literally does nothing, and Njada is insufferable

Personally I don’t agree with the idea that the one you should sacrifice should be someone you don’t like, it’s a betrayal so it should feel like one. When you bring your follower to be sacrificed you should feel remorse for what you’re about to do, the person you sacrifice should be someone that matters, the betrayal should sting. It’s not much of a betrayal if the guy you sacrifice is a random guy you just met 3 minutes ago which is why I prefer choosing my closest follower instead, I know many people don’t like to see their favourites die but as an fe fan I feel it must be said that letting your favourite character die for once will just deepen your appreciation for both the one sacrificed and for other followers you mauve not given a shot otherwise. Now I’ve mainly went over how I like to handle it from a role playing perspective but that’s just cause I think that’s more fun to do, I’d much rather sacrifice Lydia for a crucial character moment that changes my character as it should rather than sacrifice some drunk guy I meet 1 afternoon ago for some cool unique armour. That’s just my own preference though.

Once the Dragonborn DLC was released, I started always making Ralis Sedarys a follower after his questline is done and sacrificing him. He is one of the few I don't feel bad about. Before the DLC, I would sacrifice Faendal as long as my archery was already leveled up, just because he is such a low level follower and is only really useful for carrying stuff early on and for training. Speaking purely from a game mechanics and player centric position. I always felt a little bad about betraying him. Edit: Eola I almost always made a steward for one of my homesteads. I mean, she eats people, but so did my werewolf dragonborn.

there's an option that feels attractive for specifically Stormcloak players - Ahtar, the headsman of Solitude, who has the dubious honor of beheading Roggvir when you enter the city for the first time. pretty understandable why a Stormcloak-aligned player would want to take revenge for that, even if Ahtar doesn't really fit the other metrics by which this video measures sacrifice-ability (he contributes to society, is a morally upstanding citizen and not a jerk). also in doing this you can get the ebony mail by sacrificing an ebony male, and I love a good bad pun lmao
