What other use do followers have?

Question

I have come across many people who i can hire and become followers with me, my question is

Are all the followers just people who join you and fight along side you, or is there something more they can do.

There are archers, rogue's, thief's, warriors, mages and even a dog but besides being a person to help fight, do they posses any other benefits?

besides of course being able to carry a few more items for you, whats the point?

I've gone my whole game without a companion, and it was relatively easy, but do companions open different quests? or other events in the game, many questions about them, and to me, very few answers

many thanks

Rob

Answer

There are a few things other than combat that a companions are good for

1. You must sacrifice a companion to start Boethia's Calling.
2. Companions who are also trainers provide "free" training. Simply take the gold you paid from their inventory.
3. Companions do not need lockpicks to open containers.
