📋 About This Mod
This mod adds the songs played by Anduniel of Anduniel Companion mod and Anna NPCs 2. 0
Requirements:
Become a Bard 5. 0 or above (also available on Steam here)
Without Become a Bard, game WILL crash on startup! Without the latest version, you cannot buy the songs from Viarmo.
Load "Anduniel Expansion" after "Become a Bard."
If the Nexus page Become A Bard is hidden, the author has provided a direct download link here.
You can buy 2 books from Viarmo:
- Anduniel Songbook
- Anduniel Songbook (Instrumental)
Learn the songs by reading them, same as others in "Become a Bard."
Choose from 9 vocals and 5 instrumental pieces. Earn tips from the innkeep, nearby NPCs will start dancing (which is kind of hilarious,
as they use the Cicero dance animation), and your followers have a chance of joining in.
