I'm not going to be too picky when it comes to quality voice acting and quest content are not required (for example, I'll take a creature follower as long as the process to acquire it is somewhat interesting), but if you recommend a mod here it should have some story/lore/personality quality that sets it apart from the types of follower mods I described above. Please feel free to add to this list in your replies. Further, mods on the nexus are sometimes oddly categorized (for example, there's a 'Followers' category and a 'Companions - Other' category - almost all of which are regular followers) I know of a few follower mods that have voiced/quest content, but when you search for followers on the Workshop or Nexus, 95% of what you find is attractive female robots, and the mod description is a few pictures and some text freshly oozed out of google translate. Seriously, the housecarls may as well be robots.ĭawnguard and Dragonborn brought Serana and Frea and a few others with some location-aware dialogue, but I want more. And sadly, the characters who are the most guilty of this lack of depth are the characters you spend the most time with: the followers. We don't learn much about any given character, and our interactions with them are few.
My biggest complaint with Skyrim is that there are so many characters, but none of them have very much depth.
