📋 About This Mod

Nether Presents:

Elana and her Fiendish Friends

An awkward but endearing dark mage follower with a mad scientist bent. Unique-voiced with an intro quest, discoverable formulas, unique potions, custom spells, wacky and weird summoned allies, darkly humorous.

All NPCs represented in this mod use Digitally Generated Unique Voices that are not based on voice actor performances.

REQUIRES:

RECOMMENDED:

SkyUI (for inventory filtering)

INSTALLATION:

- She uses your installed body for female characters, including textures (CBBE, UNP, Vanilla, whatever you use).

- Fomod Installer will add the appropriate follower script (NFF, AFT, Vanilla/EFF).

MOD FEATURES:

- Unique Breton "mad scientist" follower, Elana.

- Hand-crafted, high-poly appearance. She uses your installed textures and body but has her own makeup and hair applied.

- One of a kind voice (uniquely, digitally created), with hundreds of voiced lines, including combat responses, idles (town, inn, general, weather) and follower dialogue. Also can respond if the player picks up items or levels up.

- Fleshed out with introductory quest and backstory.

- Engaging spell system based around using components that she carries in her satchel. Customize what spells she uses by what she is carrying. This inventory is separate from normal inventory. Use her special staff to transmute ingredients to easy to use gems (for swapping spells).

- Elana can create potions for her and the player, a mix of healing and strange, unique elixirs.

- Hunt through dungeons in Skyrim to find new formulas so that she can learn unique spells.

- Unique spells with custom visuals and sounds. Spells are balanced against each other, requiring you to make interesting choices for which spells Elana uses.

- Interesting and humorous tongue-in-cheek summonable creatures.
