Is my follower trying to tell me something when they say, "I don't like the looks of this."

In Skyrim, I've had multiple occasions where my followers have remarked, "I don't like the looks of this." and every time, I've ended up going into a battle where I've died multiple times. It's almost as if the follower knew I didn't have the experience needed to win the fight.

Is it just 'something they say'? Or is there more to it? Are they telling me that to warn me?

Solution 1:

You'll find that companions have a list of sayings like: "I don't like the look of this" "Watch your head on low bits of rock" "This place smells funny" "Don't go to far, you might not come out" - that's what she said!

They say them whenever they enter a dungeon. It means there might be enemies nearby but that's nothing to worry about. They're just big sissies.

On a side note, if you take them somewhere with a nice view they'll say something like "Wow, would you look at that?"
