📋 About This Mod

This mod replaces the default hirelings with different characters from the story.

It was inspired by the work from Khione95 with his Hirelings Unleashed mod, but I wanted to use different characters and have different options so I decided to build a mod myself.

SPOILER WARNING: there might be details you haven't encountered yet if you haven't finished the game. read further at your own risk.

It adds the ability to choose among 24 female characters (probably more in the future).

The original version included the following characters:

  • []Araj Oblodra (blood alchemist)

    []Mizora

    []Rohl (dancer for Sharess'Caress)

    []Mystra (Gale's girlfriend)

    []Alfira

    []Hope (from the House of Hope)

    []Consellour Florrick (Duke Uldergard's aid)

    []Zethino (dryad from the circus)

    []Kagha

    []Dame Aylin

    []Isobel

    []Orin

All these character are also available in the modular version as satnd-alone versions.

New in the modular version: 

  • []Allandra (Wavemistress ofUmberlee)

    []Astele Keene (a.k.a. Ninefingers)

    []Exxvikyap (dragonborn vendor)

    []Haarlep (incubus (or succubus?)

    []Lakrissa (tiefling bartender)

    []Nocturne (Shadowheart’s childhood friend)

    []Quil (substitute campsite sacrificefor Dark Urge)

    []Roah (Zhentarim trader)

    []Stornugoss (githyanki doctor)

    []Thulla (deepgnome protected by the myconids)

    []Zenovia (guild thug in Rivington)

    []Z'rell (Ketheric Thorm’s commander)

    Default hirelings won't be available anymore, and you might experience glitches if you install the mod after recruiting one.

    This mods influences VISUALS ONLY, meaning that characters won't have any racial/class/other special ability they might get in the story.

    I changed the default equipment for all of them so that they now have an armor and camp clothes looking like their usual armor/clothes (some minor color details might be different for some of them, but it's overall very close). I also added visuals for the genitalia.

    You can change their clothes and armor however you want, and their visuals will reflect your choices (with some exceptions, see issues below).

    You can respec them at Withers if you prefer a different class, but I advise against changing appearances with the magic mirror (try if you want, I can't guarantee anythingils ).
