✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 430 endorsements and over 13,000 downloads.
- Fits a barbarian playthrough with a combat-focused perk setup.
- Body-agnostic design means she works with your existing body mods without conflicts.
⚠️ Cons
- She starts naked, so you'll need to supply gear—annoying if you want a ready-to-go follower.
- No custom body or unique appearance features; she's a vanilla-style follower.
- Last updated in 2022, so compatibility with newer Skyrim updates or mods isn't guaranteed.
For Skyrim players who want a straightforward, combat-ready follower without fancy bells and whistles. If you're doing a barbarian or two-handed build and need a companion who can tank and sneak, Arlene fits the bill. Skip if you're looking for a fully voiced, quest-aware follower or one with unique visuals.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since she's naked, craft or grab some heavy armor and a greatsword before recruiting her to make her useful right away.
- If you use a body mod like CBBE or UNP, she'll automatically use it—no extra patches needed.
- She's in Riverwood, so you can grab her early in your playthrough, but be ready to equip her.
