📋 About This Mod
Introduction
Moves Lucien's (JosephRussell's awesome follower) starting location from Dead Man's Drink in Falkreath to the Sleeping Giant Inn in Riverwood. When starting a new game I always visit Riverwood early on, and Falkreath not until later. I simply wanted to pick up Lucien as a follower earlier in the game and this is my sollution.
