📋 About This Mod
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I always found it really odd that, despite the fact that the slaves you free are very thankful for their release, none of them ever offer to follow you or help you out. This is my remedy to this oddity. Ties-That-Bind is a female Argonian that may be found in the Hlormaren Underground slave pen. She, like the rest of the slaves, must be freed with Hlormaren's Slave Key. Once you do free her, however, she offers to accompany you (Instead of running off willy-nilly like most slaves). I always thought that, if I were a slave for years and years, I would probably want a bit of guidance and help before making it back to the border of Black Marsh on my own. As well, Ties-That-Bind was born into slavery. It's all she knows. So, she figures that she would rather work for a master willingly, rather than be thrust into the scary, big world, likely to be captured as a slave again.
Ties that Bind comes with Grumpy's Companion Scripts, so that's cool.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Fills a real gap in vanilla Skyrim – finally, freed slaves can repay you.
- Simple and lightweight, won't bloat your load order.
- Community-tested with 101 endorsements and 2,675 downloads.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017 – may have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions.
- Only affects freed slaves, so it's a very narrow addition.
For Skyrim players who enjoy immersive roleplay and want to see logical consequences for their actions. If you're tired of freeing slaves who just walk away, this mod gives them a reason to stick around. Skip if you're looking for major companion overhauls – this is a small, focused tweak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to load this mod after any mods that alter slave dialogue or follower systems to avoid conflicts.
- Test with a save where you've already freed a slave – the new dialogue should appear on your next interaction.
- If you're using a mod manager, it's still a simple drag-and-drop install, but manual placement works too.
