In Skyrim (the game), when you recruit somebody as a follower, they normally have a few select lines of dialogue for certain actions, or they have some simple commentary for their surroundings.

This is just a fun thing I wanted to do for my own character, but feel free to swipe this and make it your own. I would have put more on here but I was running low on ideas and if I don't post this now, it will never see the light of day. So.... here you are.

Follower Dialogue

Recruit / Follow me. / Consider yourself hired.

• "You looking for me?"
• "You look like you could use some help."

Exiting Conversation

• Alright, then.
• Is that all?
• Let's get going.

Wait / Wait here.

• I'll be right here.
• Alright, but I'm coming to you if I hear trouble.

Spoken to While Waiting

• Are you almost ready? - When approached
• Oh, there you are. What now? - When approached
• I won't wait here all day. - When conversation is exited without being asked to follow
• Right behind you. - After being asked to follow again

Command / I need you to do something.

• Sure thing. - Command given
• Yeah, just give me a second. - Command given
• That lock was pretty stubborn, huh? Let me get it. - Command given (pick a lock)
• Absolutely not. - Command denied
• You're on your own, there. - Command denied
• That's probably not a good idea. - Command denied
• Anything else you need? - Command completed

Trade Items / I need to trade some things with you.

• Ahh yes, the iron warhammer was just too tempting.
• About time you asked, my back was hurting just looking at you.
• Yeah sure, I guess I'll hold onto that for you.
• What in the Divines did you find, now?
• I thought I told you to lay off the dragon bones?

Dismissal / It's time for us to part ways.

• Alright, then... If you need me again, come and find me.

After Dismissal

• Was there something else you needed? - Immediately after dismissal, if approached again.

During Combat

• Hey! What am I, a training dummy? - upon being hit, but not in a fight
• Do that again and we're going to have a problem. - upon being hit, but not in a fight
• Watch yourself! - struck by friendly fire
• You call that butter knife a sword?! - taunting / mocking his enemies
• I've fought mudcrabs with more ferocity than you! - taunting / mocking his enemies
• I'm trying to dismember you, can you please stay still? - taunting / mocking his enemies

Miscellaneous Commentary

• A new town... I hope nobody dies this time.
  - Nearing a new settlement, after Solitude/Markarth/Windhelm.
• You know, the Thieves Guild isn't that bad. Mjoll said once, at least the Dark Brotherhood operate by a code, but they're assassins and will kill anybody, good or bad. We in the Guild have a strict policy against killing our marks.
  - when in Riften
• These Forsworn are bloody annoying. I just want to collect juniper berries in peace.
  - when in the Reach
• I never wanted to live in a giant mushroom more than after I met Master Neloth... those Telvanni settlements are really impressive.
  - when near Tel Mithryn in Solstheim
• You know, if you need to sell some things, I could help you out. I have connections with lots of gold.
  - nearing a Thieves Guild fence/merchant location
• What a nice bandit camp, would be a real shame if somebody ransacked the place and killed everyone.
  - at a bandit camp›
• Make yourself at home. If you see something you like, just tell me. I might let you have it. - in Breezehome
