How To Get A Follower Skyrim
Whenever I try to get somebody to follow me in Skyrim they something in the lives with 'You already have a follower.'. The problem is, I don't.
I have not, to my recollection, had a follower at any given point in the game.
The only thing I can think of is that I have (spoiler)
finished Anriel's Endeavors and gotten him as a summon creature.
Or do I have a hidden follower that I can't remember. A dog or a horse perhaps?Note that I do not have a dog or horse following me now. I talked to dog once, and had a horse that died.
Orders that can be given to followers: Attack another NPC or creature. Wait at a given location. Resume following. Activate an object, such as a lever or a chair. Activate a Shrine for its blessing, but not a Standing Stone. Open a locked door or container. Pick up items. Search and loot. There is a much easier way, you can get a follower immediately after getting to Riverrun. Do Faendal's quest of delivering the letter to Camilla, and he will follow you. #6 Runs With Sporks, Nov 21, 2011. AFT gives you more options at the expense of less followers. UFO has loads of followers (I think around 15) at the expense of very little options. Options both in the case of what you can have your followers to do. Hope that helps! But you can have them stay somewhere by talking to them and telling them to 'Wait here'.
Is this a common/known issue? Is there a work around? Any tips?

Are you on the Companions quest chain by chance? Possibly the quest Proving Honor? Starting this quest (and I think several other Companions quests) sets Farkas (in this case) as your Follower. If thats the case, he's waiting for you at Dustman's Cairn and you won't be able to dismiss him until you complete the quest.
LessPop_MoreFizzLessPop_MoreFizzI had this same problem, I had hired one of the mercenaries who followed me around for a few missions then randomly disappeared. All the other followers i tried to recruit told me I already had someone with me.
The only thing that fixed it was starting a mission that automatically fast-travels you somewhere or otherwise changes your position on the map. I used the mission where you call Ohdaving. I talked to the Jarl of Whiterun sitting on his throne inside, then we automatically travelled out to the Dragonsreach porch. When I appeared out there, my follower was somehow standing right next to me as if nothing had ever happened. I assume the same thing would happen on any other mission where you automatically travel to somewhere else on the map. The game re-setting your position seems to do the same thing for the follower.
If you have become Thane of a hold you will be granted a housecarl which would count as a follower. If you have a house go there and leave them.
