📋 About This Mod
Thank you to Vicyorus, for help with porting to Special Edition!
Waiting for you at the Solitude Docks, Walks-In-Shadows, the tiny lizard is here to assist you on your quest!
Specialized in Archery, One- and Two-Handed, he can effectively use any weapon and levels with the player. He also uses Fast Healing to recover himself.
There are multiple versions availible with different requirements:
SSE: Requires Immersive Armors by Hothtooper44 and Bandolier by Dragten
IA: Requires Immersive Armors by Hothtooper44
VANILLA: Doesn't require any additional mods or DLC and uses vanilla clothing and weapons
Walks-In-Shadows is a compact Argonian follower mod for Skyrim Special Edition, adding a pirate captain who waits at Solitude Docks. He specializes in archery and melee combat, levels with the player, and uses Fast Healing. Three versions offer different requirements, from vanilla to Immersive Armors and Bandolier dependencies.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 208 endorsements and over 7,400 downloads.
- Flexible install options—pick the version that fits your mod setup, from vanilla to full immersion.
- A follower that actually keeps up with you, leveling alongside and healing himself in a fight.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017, so it might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim SE patches or other mods.
- The SSE version requires two specific mods (Immersive Armors and Bandolier), which could conflict with your load order if you don't have them.
- As a small follower mod, it adds just one character—no quests or deep backstory, so it's purely for companionship.
For Skyrim players who want a reliable Argonian companion with a pirate vibe without a huge quest mod. If you're running a modded setup with Immersive Armors, the IA version fits right in. Skip if you're looking for a follower with extensive dialogue or a personal quest—this is a simple, functional addition.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Choose the VANILLA version if you don't have Immersive Armors or Bandolier installed—it avoids compatibility headaches.
- If you use a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to keep your load order clean.
- Check that your Skyrim SE is up to date, since the mod is from 2017 and might need a quick tweak for newer versions.
