Ivar - Skaal Custom Voiced Follower

Raised and trained by his uncle Agnar, a Skaal Shaman, Ivar is a proficient frost caster, summoner, and chef. With a spellsword combat style, he'll fight with a mix of one-handed melee, frost magic, and conjuring his trusty wolf spirit. He also has his own cooking system with recipes that will provide the player with unique, temporary buffs.

Eager to travel and with 2600 lines of fully-voiced (by me) dialogue, he'll have plenty to say about your adventures and the world around him. Although a bit prickly and sarcastic at first, in time he will warm into a fiercely loyal companion.

He can be found camping above Bleakcoast Cave on the Eastern shore of the Sea of Ghosts. After his intro, he can be found at Candlehearth Hall in Windhelm. To start the journey, find a notice at either The Frozen Hearth, Candlehearth Hall, or the New Gnisis Cornerclub.

Ivar was born in Skaal Village, but was sent to live with his uncle in Windhelm shortly after he was born. Looking for travel and adventure, he will offer to accompany the player after his intro quest. He wants very much to explore his past on Solstheim and why he was sent away, and has a custom quest there after the completion of Dragonborn.

Ivar's personal quest is now live, and features a new dungeon on Solstheim! To start it, look for a dialogue topic 24 hours after completing Dragonborn and having the final conversation about Miraak with him.

Ivar is fully voiced by me. Samples below.

This mod contains minor swearing as I personally find it more immersive, especially in combat.

As with all custom followers, please do not use Ivar with follower frameworks like AFT as he is on a custom framework that will break him if you do. If you use NFF, DO NOT IMPORT HIM INTO THE FRAMEWORK!

Replacers: As long as they aren't wildly out of character, you have my permission and support to upload them. Check out this one by fae!

Cooking

Ivar can cook traditional Skaal dishes for you. Each provides a temporary buff and can be unlocked through a quest. Ask him about his cooking at an inn or a player home to begin. An ESPFE patch is available for survival mode.
