📋 About This Mod
30/04/2017 UPDATED TO FINAL VERSION. NOW THE SAME AS SSE!
Say hello to Professor Benjamin Doon, the one and only elderly male follower. He is quite possibly the most irritating and cantankerous old goat you'll ever likely to meet. Tempted? You should be.

Question: Why would anyone on the nexus like to have an elderly male follower?
Answer: If it's okay for Luke Skywalker, then it should be okay for you.
Yes, say goodbye to all those scantily clad female companions with no back story and the slim possibility of romance, and say hello to Benjamin Doon, whom admittedly really just complains a lot. But hey, at least its different. Go on, give him a try. You'll probably regret it, but at least you'll be able to stand among friends and say that "you are really trying....."
You want this mod. Why?
Firstly: Because its fun and will distract you from your otherwise bizarre obsession with rubber bands that make bracelets..
Thirdly, hey what happened to secondly?
Fourthly. It's okay, I found Secondly hiding in the shrubbery. Apparently it thought that if you couldn't see it, then it couldn't see you. Clearly its delusional.
Fifthly, gosh, how did we get so far ahead?
Sixley, oh come on there's no such word! Get on with it.
Secondly. How predictable, I'm always ignored.
Who is Benjamin?
Benjamin is a some what bitter sweet old Story Bard whom currently resides at Solitude Bards College. The only problem is, he can't stand them! Aside from his dislike of people in general, he considers himself as "actually quite fun to be around". Think Oscar Wild meets Uncle Monty from Withnail & I, and you may just get him.
Ability: In a fight, Ben is fairly nifty for his age. Also, if you ask him nicely, he may read you the odd book or two. Fully voiced with over 1300 unique and annoying lines of dialogue
Likes: pubs, idiots and a good book.
Hates: bards, idiots and you quite possibly.
Carry On Skyrim adds Professor Benjamin Doon, a fully voiced follower with over 1300 unique lines. He's cranky, senile, and occasionally flatulent, providing a humorous companion for Skyrim players. The mod is complete and was last updated in 2019.
