📋 About This Mod
Introduces 3 new followers: Roald Storm-Shield, a Nord warrior; Katja Kind-Heart, a Nord healer; and Maera, a Dunmer sorceress. Presets included, if followers aren't your thing.
This mod introduces three new potential followers fresh in from adventures of their own in Morrowind. Head on over to Candlehearth Hall in Windhelm and say hello!
These followers have additional lines beyond those as part of the basic follower voices:
-
[]Roald: 147 lines (total of 562 counting the base voice)[/]
[]Maera: 85 lines (total of 448 counting the base voice)[/]
[]Katja: 26 lines (in addition to those from RDO)[/]
Roald may hand out bounty letters if you ask, saving you a trip to the Jarl's advisor. If he tells you he has nothing, try moving between holds (which is when these bounty quests are generated in the base game).

Instructions for Optional Overlays
The replacers come with optional overlays. To keep this mod's size minimal, I do not provide the overlays and instead add them to these NPCs at runtime. You MUST have these additional mods for the overlays to be loaded:
-
[]PapyrusUtil - This is required to detect overlay textures and apply/remove them.[/]
[]RaceMenu - This is required to add or remove an overlay to an NPC.[/]
[]FRECKLES - Only texture assets are required for Roald's body freckles. Plugin may be disabled.[/]
[]MOLES - Only texture assets are required for Katja's body moles. Plugin may be disabled.[/]
[]Community Overlays 2 - Only texture assets are required for Maera's tattoos. You must extract the .bsa for the textures to be found! Plugin may be disabled.[/]
[]The intro is not finishing! Maera/Katja is stuck! Talk to Roald and tell him you can meet them later.[/]
[]The replacer is not working! Did you remember to enable all the plugins?[/]
[]The overlays aren't there! Did you follow the instructions about optional overlays?[/]
-
[]PapyrusUtil - This is required to detect overlay textures and apply/remove them.[/]

[]Critical hits: Roald, Maera[/]
