📋 About This Mod

Interesting NPCs is an amazing endeavor, boasting a plethora of characters with unique personalities & varied looks. This mod is my attempt to update the appearance of several characters using higher quality assets whilst making an effort to avoid straying too far from their original features so as to keep them recognizable. I'll continue to add more NPCs in subsequent updates until I've covered every follower & possibly some other key characters.

Certain NPCs have also been given new perks & improved AI to enhance their combat performance, though they'll be far from overpowered. If anything, I consider it a much-needed boost, especially for those of us that play with difficulty-enhancing mods. To see a more in-depth list of changes for each follower, click the spoiler tags below.

Perks in WHITE were already assigned by the original mod, while those in YELLOW were added by me.

-- ALASSEA --

Perks: Light Foot, Apprentice Destruction, Recovery (Tier 1), Regeneration, Mage Armor (Tier 1), Magic Resistance (Tier 1)

NOTES: In addition to her bardic prowess, Alassea is also a talented mage. I've given her the appropriate perks to help round out her kit.

-- AMALEE --

Perks: Light Foot, Overdraw (Tier 1), Critical Shot (Tier 1), Ranger, Quickshot

NOTES: As a ranger, Amalee prefers to avoid melee combat & fight at a distance whenever possible. With bow in-hand, she'll shoot down any foe who dares get close enough to try & mar her beauty.

-- AMONG-THE-HIST --

Perks: Light Foot, Augmented Flames (Tier 1), Augmented Shock (Tier 1), Adept Destruction, Recovery (Tier 1), Mage Armor (Tier 1)

NOTES: I’ve given Among-The-Hist the standard set of mage perks to improve his damage & survivability.

-- ANUM-LA THE SWAMP KNIGHT --

Perks: Light Foot, Armsman (Tier 1), Shield Wall (Tier 2), Block Runner, Deflect Arrows

NOTES: Anum-La is an experienced fighter & sought-after mercenary whose skills are an asset to any
