✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 141 endorsements and over 6k downloads
- Directly addresses a common complaint about unkillable followers
- Simple concept that adds real stakes to combat
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019, so it may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or mods
- May conflict with other mods that alter follower AI or essential status
- Could break quests if essential NPCs are killed accidentally
For Skyrim players who want more challenge and realism, especially those tired of followers being invincible. If you rely on followers as tanks or hate losing NPCs, skip this.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to check if your other follower mods override essential status, as they might conflict.
- Consider saving before major battles, since followers can now permanently die.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
