Why Followers are Great

With the glitch in which a follower can pick up items of any weight with the "I need you to do something for me" request, my follower presently, Faendal, carries probably three times what a normal follower can carry. Because of this, he holds all my extremely heavy armours, like the Nordic Carved Armours, meaning he is stronger than me. Great as a meat shield, but does slow levelling up.
