📋 About This Mod
Over 60 new lines of dialogue for Rowley Eardwulf; new dialogue for when you first meet him, comments on each upgrade, his backstory, the history of Greywyn and the Crimson Scars, unique barter dialogue and more.
After buying all upgrades, you can talk to Rowley and he'll propose travelling with you. From then on, you can ask him to accompany you at any time as a permanent follower.
*A new rumour regarding Deepscorn Hollow in the Imperial City and southern cities of Cyrodiil.
I hope you find this overhaul to be a huge improvement in regards to immersion and character exploration over the original DLC.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Adds real substance to a DLC that was mostly a player home, with 60+ voiced lines
- Uses the original voice actors, so it fits right into the game
- Community-approved (102 endorsements) and a solid download count (17k)
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2023 — might not be compatible with the latest Oblivion patches or mods
- Only 102 endorsements, so it's a smaller mod — you might find bugs or rough edges
For Oblivion players who want to expand the Vile Lair DLC with more story and a follower. If you're a lore hound or just want a new companion, this is for you. Skip if you're fine with the vanilla DLC and don't care about extra dialogue.
