Dovahbear Companion

====Author's Note==== UPDATE 3APR2014: Dovahbear with Werebear transformation will now require Dragonborn DLC. Sorry! UPDATE 24FEB2013: Added Dovahbear call and load screen. Instructions are in the "Instructions" section. UPDATE 17FEB2013: The Dovahbear transformation into Werebear is available for download under optional files, but the human transformation is still not working.

For those who want a more stealthy or quiet Dovahbear, try out this mod by Rexxux: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/31850

Silence my Bear - Stealthy bear sound by rexxux HKXJIbmz8_8

UPDATE 10FEB2013: Zachriel allowed me to add panda bear textures to this mod.

UPDATE 03Feb2013: Zeroeternalz added a new file that will allow for shouting and other animations.

UPDATE: I am changing this to beta for the fact a lot of add-ons are planned.

v2. 5Beta changelog

A- Removed the broken/unfinished playable race which caused the game to crash B- The original esp accidentally deleted 4 vanilla relationship entries, that was fixed D- Removed all the changes that were made to the bee and barb inn (except the placement of the bear ofc) so that it doesn't conflict with anything that uses/modifies this inn

Okay obviously this is more of a joke mod, but maybe someone actually wants an adorable, helmet wearing bear to follow them around. Unfortunately, he acts and fights like a bear in game typically does. I tried applying a human skeleton so that he could run around wielding a sword, slashing down foes, and using a fus ro dah shout that was a bear roar; it worked, but I do not know what kind of abomination I created in the process. It was a blob of a monstrosity. So for now this is it, but if someone wants to expand on it, feel free to use any of the assets.

PLANS FOR MOD: 1. Convert him to a human skeleton, so he can use shouts and fight with weapons. 2. Make a playable race once that is done and working. 3. Add armor selections and fur color options. 4. Optional If I am unable to do the above, then I will attempt to make him a mount and still add the fur and armor options.

=====About the Mod=====

REQUIRES VERSION 1. 8 OF SKYRIM, UPDATE YOUR GAME TO USE

If you are having issues talking to Dovahbear, try following Kalell's steps:

I disabled all my plugins except Dovabear, removed all esm's from the data folder and then tried each version of the mod and couldn't get it to work. I then started a new game with version 2. 5 with everything still disabled and it finally worked (took me almost an hour to get through all the intro stuff, lol). Then I reactivated all my plugins and put back the esm's and the new game still worked. There must be something baked into my old saves that's stopping it from working. U
