📋 About This Mod

"Almost Everyone is An Adventurer" is a mod that allows you to turn most NPCs into useful, recruitable followers for you to use and abuse. Walk up to your favorite (or least favorite) NPC, pick a class and start questing with them today!

Requirements:

  • []The latest Skyrim patch (Version 1. 9. 32. 0. 8)[/] []Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE)[/] []Optional: SkyUI for its Mod Configuration Menu (MCM)[/]

Installation and Updating:

  • []With Nexus Mod Manager: Simply click on the "Download with Manager" button.[/] []Manual Installation: Extract both files (the .bsa and the .esp) to your Skyrim data folder.[/] []Updating:: Install over the previous version. Do not make a "clean save".[/]

How to Use:

  • []A book called "Adventuring for Dummies" should be automatically added to your inventory.[/] []Walk up to an NPC and try to talk. If he/she (1) is a unique NPC (for example, Ralof and Hadvar are unique; Bandit Thug and Forsworn Briarheart are not), (2) is not a Jarl, (3) is not a child, (4) has a voice used by standard followers there will be an option to say "I want you to join me on adventures!" (If you have the Mod Configuration Menu, you can allow Jarls, children and more allowed voice types).[/] []If the NPC is your friend, you will be asked to select a class. If you make a mistake or change your mind later, you can change their class whenever they are not actively following you.[/] []If the NPC is not your friend, you can bribe, intimidate or persuade them into becoming an adventurer anyway.[/] []Note that turning someone into an adventurer will cost gold (by default 1000. The amount can be changed in the Mod Configuration Menu).[/] []After class selection, the NPC will receive stats appropriate for his/her class, basic equipment for that class, changes to his/her combat style and will become more willing to commit crimes, will be braver in combat, will engage enemies and will assist his/her friends and allies.[/] []Using the "setlevel" console command is recommended to allow them to level with you. I personally recommend entering "setlevel 1000 0 1 100".[/] []Should you no longer wish to say to anyone "I want you to join me on adventures!", simply drop or sell the book and the dialogue option will no longer appear. To obtain another copy of the book, go to any tanning rack and craft it.[/]

Changelog: Version 1. 1 []Now compatible with AFT.[/] []Now mostly compatible with UFO.[/] [*]Removed necromancy spells from conjuration mages to prevent them from doing stupid th
