Be aware that you won’t be able to get Faendal as a follower if you help Sven. Sven is a Nord bard found at Riverwood who’s competing with Faendal -another potential follower- over the hand of Camilla Valerius. He’s one of the first followers you can obtain in the game, and as such, you shouldn’t expect much of him. So be very careful with your future wife if you ever complete that quest-line. With certain mods, you could also argue Aela is the most attractive follower but I suppose that is for a different list… anyway, although I consider her one of the best followers in terms of eye candy, Aela can still be killed as she is non-essential after you complete Totems of Hircine.

She can also marry the player and be invited to join the Blades, making her one of the most versatile followers you can find in the game. While she can transform into a werewolf, she will not do so while she’s following you, but some PC mods can enable her transformation while she’s following you. You can unlock her by joining The Companions, and she’s an excellent archer who will not judge you if you commit crimes, making her an excellent choice for a player who specializes in melee combat and thievery. Aela is a Nord and a member of the Companions, she’s also a member of The Circle, a secret clan where every member suffers from lycanthropy.
