Ever since I became a vampire, there seems to be a bit of mistrust for me from Vorstag, my follower. For one thing, when we are fighting enemies, he will often cry out “Burn it! Burn the vampire!” The problem is, I am the only vampire in the area.
Recently, he almost killed me. Ironically, we had just finished a major stage in a major quest, clearing out the bleak falls barrow. When we exited, he suddenly attacked me with his lightning staff that I had given him! I think I was down to about 5% health when he finally said something like “I could kill you, but you’re not worth it” and started to walk away.
I watched him for a minute or so. I guess he would’ve gone all the way back to Markarth if I had let him. Instead, I decided to stand in front of him and see what would happen. Finally, he stopped and said “if you still need my blade, I’ll join you. I want to make sure you get your moneys worth.” So, I rehired him at no fee.
Still, I was a bit distrustful of him after that. I decided to take any gold he happened to be carrying for me. Definitely not marriageable material anymore, if I wanted to marry a dude.
However, aside from that one incident, things seem to be proceeding as normal and he continues to follow me and fight alongside me. When I talk to him, he spouts the standard lines, calling me “my friend,” etc. However, the thing about him trying to kill me couldn’t have been a glitch, as he had a set monologue that he delivered while he was doing it.
He should know I’m fond of him, as when he died a couple times, I either allowed myself to be killed as well or else went back to a saved game where he was alive again. Is it time to retire Vorstag?
