📋 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 spellcasters:
Belrand ~ Eola ~ Frea
Illia ~ J'zargo ~ Marcurio ~ Onmund
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, spells, equipment, etc. To see a more in-depth list of changes for each follower, click the spoiler tag below.
-- BELRAND --
Perks Added: Light Foot, Bladesman (Tier 1)
Level Cap: Raised from 40 to 50
New Outfit: Belrand's Outfit (Leveled Armor & Weapons)
NOTES: Belrand describes himself as a swordsman & comes equipped with a blade. He now has the proper perks to reflect that. I've also given him the personal outfit left unused by the base game, providing him with gear that suits the player's level upon your first encounter.
Perks Added: Light Foot
Level Cap: Raised from 30 to 50
NOTES: Eola already boasts an array of powerful spells so she doesn't need much more than a few minor upgrades. Her new look is a bit more sinister & alludes to the Nightblade's cannibalistic nature.
Spells Added: Healing Hands
Perks Added: Light Foot
NOTES: As a shaman, Frea has several healing spells at her disposal & will now use them to aid you in combat thanks to the addition of custom, script-free AI.
-- ILLIA --
Perks Added: Light Foot
Level Cap: Raised from 40 to 50
New Outfit: Illia's Robes (-15% Destruction Spell Cost, +75% Magicka Regeneration)
NOTES: Along with her new look, Illia gains a unique set of enchanted robes to augment her spellcast
