Rupert the Teddy Bear Companion

Meet Rupert, the Teddy Bear follower.

He is voiced by MeekVoice.

How To Get Him

There is a very small quest to find the magical book he lives in. To start it, find the note in the Winterhold College Library. It's at the foot of the librarian's desk. It should give you a map marker pointing to his book.

How To Use Him

He can always be summoned and debugged by opening "The Cub House" book. When you dismiss him, he will return inside his book. If you lose the book, you can give yourself another via the MCM option, or by using console commands (top entry). If you want to get him off your back, you can "drop" him like you would any other piece of armor. Everything else should be pretty standard.

The outfit he wears determines his combat style, skills and stats. However, his armor rating improves as he (and the player) levels up by way of perks and is not directly affected by his outfit.

As of version 1. 3+, Rupert should be considered relatively script-heavy, at least compared to the majority of followers. If this is a concern, I recommend you open the MCM and set the Scan Frequency to 0 and potentially avoid the Panda outfit. Note that this will disable features including his ability to jump over obstacles.

Features

Rupert comes with an assortment of outfits. You can ask him to change through dialogue commands. More outfits will unlock depending on different factions you join or perks you have. He will change into the outfit automatically, by himself, when you first unlock the outfit. This will only happen once, meant as a notification to the player that the outfit has been unlocked.

If you install Rupert on a game in which you have already met the qualifications for multiple outfits, he may cycle through them when you first meet him. Some outfits also reset his dialogue recast timers, causing him to potentially repeat lines he recently said. Armor and accessories he acquires that are not a part of his outfit will be moved to the chest next to his house to keep them safe (from Rupert).

The other features should be pretty intuitive, and many have options to be set in the MCM. You're better off discovering them on your own.
