Lydia is a character many of us love, but there hasn't been much reason for that other than pure sentiment. She has fewer than 50 lines of dialogue in the base game, all drawn from a generic voice type shared with other followers and characters voiced by Colleen Delaney. Now, Lydia has over 900 lines of dialogue voiced by the talented LMG Wilson, and written by myself. Her character is transformed from a generic set piece into a major supporting character in the main questline (and the game as a whole), without actually editing the main questline at all. Expansions for Legacy of The Dragonborn, Wyrmstooth, and Beyond Skyrim: Bruma now availible.

Also, the actress who did the voice of Lydia in this has a youtube channel. If you'd like to hear more of her work, click this link.

With this mod installed, Lydia will not just have a new voice, but she will:

1. Initiate conversations with you as you progress through the main questline. For this reason, it's highly recommended that you recruit Lydia the moment you unlock her as a companion and keep her with you until you get back from Sovngarde.

2. Make comments on the Companions, Civil War, College of Winterhold, Dawnguard, and Raven Rock questlines.

3. Comment randomly on her and the player's location, what armor you've given her, etc. as you travel through the world.

4. Start brief conversations with Serana, Mjoll the Lioness, and Erandur.

5. Initiate conversations with you as you progress through the Dragonborn questline.

6. Require a very brief romance check tied to the main questline (again, keep her throughout the main quest) before marriage

7. Has a personal quest

For the main quest, Lydia will have full conversations when:
