📋 About This Mod
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DESCRIPTION:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Much in the style of Skyrim's followers, this mod will allow you to recruit certain NPC's from the vanilla game as followers after you've done a quest for them or joined their guild. For example, After the quest, The Killing Field, where you help the Odiil brothers, you can ask Rallus or Valus Odiil to follow you. Or after Zero Visibility, the people of Aleswell will be available as companions, etc. Also, Fighters Guild and Blades members will also be available as followers (Mages guild coming soon).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The mod is based on Talkie Toaster's follower framework, heavily modified by myself with many redundant features removed, some scripts cleaned up, fixed and/or added to. Dialogue trees reworked and all topics renamed, as well as some features below being altogether new.
~Followers skilled in restoration will automatically heal other followers in your party.
~Tweakable follower combat styles and reactions to combat around them (ignore fights, attack on sight, etc.).
~Followers will not follow you into the arena when a match is going on for balance and fairness.
~Followers will automatically repair whatever weapons and armor they have equipped,
and will also heal over time so you don't have to babysit them.
~They will enter sneak mode when you do, but will automatically stand up when entering combat.
~Follower NPCs will be marked with the 'quest item' tag when they join you, which means they will be significantly less likely to encounter the famous 'reset' glitches when closing Oblivion gates. After dismissing them, the tag will be removed to reduce impact on the game.
~Only characters with a backstory or members of your guild will be available as followers, inspired by the follower system of Skyrim.
~And of course, followers of all race are fully voiced with lines hand-picked from the base game to fit all dialogue choices.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 556 endorsements and over 54k downloads.
- Uses vanilla voice lines, so it feels authentic and doesn't require new audio.
- Gives you more companion options without breaking immersion.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018 – may have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods.
- Only works with vanilla NPCs – if you use overhaul mods that change NPCs, conflicts could arise.
For Skyrim players who want more follower options without adding new characters that feel out of place. Great for roleplayers who want to recruit NPCs they've helped. Skip if you prefer custom followers with unique personalities or if you're on the latest Skyrim version and worry about compatibility.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to check the mod's load order – place it after any mods that alter the same NPCs.
- If you're using Skyrim Special Edition, verify if this mod is compatible or if you need a conversion.
- Since it's from 2018, test it early in your playthrough to catch any conflicts before you invest hours.
