The best companion in Oblivion Remastered can help players push through the hardest battles by providing them with a useful assistant to take hits, smack enemies, and provide decent company. While not every follower in Oblivion Remastered can be considered useful, the majority of them do have aspects that can be considered fun to bring into battle.

Players can grab a majority of followers from Oblivion Remastered to help them against the forces of the Daedra, especially when players can have eight of them at once, allowing the hero to wield an army of their own as they become the true hero that Cyrodiil needs.
