----------------

Song of the Green is a fully voiced follower and quest mod, which centers around Bosmer culture and tradition.

Auri, a traditionalist Wood Elf archer, will follow you, do your bidding, and offer occasional

snarky commentary about your surroundings and actions.

If you want, that will be the extent of your relationship. If you choose to, however, expressing interest in Bosmeri culture and Auri herself, will make your companion open up to you, and perhaps reveal more about the reasons for her arrival in Skyrim.  The more you speak to her, the more she will have to say, and finishing her mini-quest will unlock more idle commentary, and several conversations.

------------------

-Over 1k voiced lines of unique dialogue, including conversation topics about bosmer culture,

location-based conversations, idles and quest-commentary.

-A very simple approval system

-Scenes with vanilla NPC's.

-Banter with several other custom voiced followers.

-Simple mini-quest.

-Auri has her own mount, but will only ride it if you have a horse.

-Romance option independent from vanilla marriage.

Auri won't use gear/arrows/food I give her!

Auri has two inventories. Her regular inventory is just for storage. To give her armor and weapons to use, select dialogue:

"Let's talk about traveling together" --> "Let me check your gear."

Where can I get bone arrows?

Auri can buy 20 of them at the Drunken Huntsman, or you can craft them at the tanning rack. She'll use any arrows you give her, though.

The romance is not progressing!

-Keep playing normally. The romance progresses slowly over time, you can't speedrun love.

It's been weeks ingame, and the romance is still not progressing!
