📋 About This Mod
Ok so first and foremost this is a port of transientfaith's Oldrim mod, Miraak - Dragonborn Follower. All credit goes to transientfaith. I ported this mod to SE because, while there is a version of this mod already on the Nexus for SE, it is a modified version and I figured some people might just want the original. The author of the original mod has favorable permissions listed. Any way, here is a short description on what the mod does, if you would like a longer description please follow the link above and read all about it, while you are there go ahead and endorse his mod.
THERE IS A LADY MIRAAK PATCH! FOLLOW THE LINK IN THE POSTS SECTION. IT IS THE STICKY. OR YOU CAN FOLLOW THE LINK UNDER REQUIRMENTS.
Requirements:
-
[]The latest Skyrim patch
[
]The Dragonborn DLC[]Optional: SkyUI for its Mod Configuration Menu (MCM)
The MCM does works.
Fight against Hermaeus' goons with Miraak rather than killing Miraak, or kill him its whatever. lol
Miraak can be married.
Miraak is FULLY VOICED and uses his arsenal of shouts.
Miraak can teach you a new shout to summon his three dragons!
MUCH MORE ON THE ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION PAGE
Installation:
- []With Nexus Mod Manager: Simply click on the "Download with Manager" button.
[]Get to the final quest in Dragonborn's main questline.
[]You will be given an optional objective: use the full Bend Will Shout on Miraak multiple times. Successfully hitting him with a Bend Will means your Shout will recharge in 30 secs (three words of Bend Will usually takes 120 secs). Bend Will will still function even if he has a ward up but not when he's ethereal. After a few Shouts, Miraak will go down.
[]You'll need to hit him with the Shout a few more times. Miraak will not fight back or even move at this point. Successfully hitting him with a Bend Will at this stage recharges your Shout even quicker.
[]He'll become your ally and the two of you must defeat several waves of enemies Hermaeus Mora will send at you. If you kill an enemy here, their items will all be automatically removed and placed into a special chest.
[*]After defeating all of the enemies[/
