"Technically, Vilja is just a companion. But that is sort of like saying a phoenix spouting fire and swooping down on a battlefield is just a bird. What separates Vilja from any other companion I have ever played - mod or part of an original RPG - is her fully-developed personality." - RPGWatch review by Vox Clamant

Companion Vilja
NOW UPGRADED TO VER 4. 04! ========================
Quite a lot has happened since ver 1 of Companion Vilja was released in december 2009. She has grown really fast!
Now ver 4 is here, with several new features.
Before I start out on a description of the new version, I wish to express my sincere gratitude to a Great Grandmaster in storytelling, Discworld author Terry Pratchett. He has been travelling Cyrodiil with Vilja in tow since the first version of her was released, and he has not only been so kind and brain-stormed over her with me, but has also written more than 130 of the new chatter- and Thieves Guild-entries in ver 3-4 especially for Vilja. Several of her new features and topics originates from his thoughts on her. Many, many thanks!
What's new?
# With version 4, we have worked on finetuning and enhancing her abilities, but there is also new content that distinctly differs this version from the previous versions. # Romance option. The option to romance Vilja has been requested since version 1, and now it is finally here. However, our intention has never been to make her a "romance companion". Therefore, the romance is highly optional - in fact, you have to go into her Options book and tick the romance option before anything will happen. Vilja will romance both male and female player characters, and will occasionally confirm in dialog that she is aware of which gender your character has. It will be Vilja who triggers the romance, you'll just have to wait. And if you have just added her as a companion, you will have to wait for quite some time. Only some time after the first questline has been finished and the second has started, things related to romance will start to happen. Do not expect any "adult content"! This mod includes no more "adult content" than Disney's cartoon version of Snow White! # New mini-quest which will lead to a broader variety in Vilja's potion-making. (Will only take place after you have finished several of the
Companion Vilja adds a young Nord alchemist companion with her own quest in Cyrodiil. She is talkative, curious, and unpredictable, and may be a nuisance. This mod is for Oblivion players seeking a story-driven companion with personality.
