Skyrim now allows you to “press E to heal followers,” thanks to this mod
The Skyrim modding community continues to be a haven of creativity for those that like messing with Bethesda’s formula. Want to carry corpses around like you’re Garret from Thief? Now you can. Want NPCs to break wind? Thy will be done. What about healing your followers mid-battle? That’s also a possibility.
Thanks to veteran modder JaySerpa over on Nexus Mods, there’s a way to assist downed companions with a press of a button. Providing you have some potions, you can heal friendly NPCs, rather than waiting for them to recover automatically.
They even come with some lines of dialog for when you help them, as demonstrated in the video above. JaySerpa says the idea for their “Press E to Heal Followers” mod came straight from Starfield, which has a similar feature.
Say what you will about Skyrim, it’s the gift that keeps on giving. At least as far as custom content is concerned. Given that we’re approaching 12 years since the game first released, it’s actually quite impressive that it’s stood the test of time.
Okay, it’s definitely aged at this point, but that’s where modders like JaySerpa come to the rescue. Over the years, we’ve seen everything from graphical overhauls to bug fixes to new ways of being immersed incorporated into TES5 by the fan base.
We’ll never know whether The Elder Scrolls 6 will be able to enjoy such longevity. We still don’t know when it’s coming out, but so long as the Skyrim community keeps releasing mods, Bethesda’s 2011 epic won’t be going anywhere for a while.
