📋 About This Mod
A total rework for the visuals & skills of several followers with an immersive, lore-friendly approach. All of the affected NPCs have been given the ability to level alongside the player up to level 50 & some have been given new combat perks so they can carry their own weight against whatever threats the Dragonborn may face.
This mod overhauls the following NPCs:
Agmaer ~ Celann ~ Durak
Ingjard ~ Serana
My goal was to visually enhance each follower in a way that wouldn't look too out of place in the vanilla game, but still be unique & reflective of their personality/background. This also extends to combat, with several characters gaining access to useful perks, abilities, equipment, etc. To see a more in-depth list of changes for each follower, click the spoiler tag below.
-- AGMAER --
Perks Added: Light Foot, Hack & Slash (Tier 1), Fighting Stance, Agile Defender (Tier 2)
Level Cap: Raised from 25 to 50
NOTES: I know Agmaer is meant to be rather green when it comes to combat, but Bethesda really gave him the shaft when they assigned his stats. I've only given him a much-needed boost so he can better assist you in the effort to stop Lord Harkon's plot.
-- CELANN --
Perks Added: Light Foot, Recovery (Tier 1)
Spells Added: Healing, Fast Healing
New Class: Vigilant Dissenter (Heavy Armor, One-Handed, Archery, Block, Restoration)
NOTES: As a former Vigilant, I figured that Celann should have access to a bit of restoration magic beyond his usual Sun Fire spell. Now he'll cast a healing spell to recover his HP if it drops below a certain point.
-- DURAK --
Perks Added: Light Foot
NOTES: This grizzly Orsimer is already a competent warrior & especially deadly with a crossbow in-hand. As such, a visual makeover is all that was really warranted.
-- INGJARD --
Perks Added: Light Foot, Champion's Stance, Skullcrusher (Tier 1), Juggernaut (Tier 1)
NOTES: Ingjard has a pretty respectable stat spread, but her lack of perks made her less effective in the late game. Now she should be an adequate front-liner in the war against the vampire threat.
-- SERANA --[/b
