While awaiting voice overs for my other companion mod currently being developed I decided to use this spare time to create yet another companion. This mod brings to you a Hero of Old. Inspired by the meeting of two playable Elder Scrolls characters which is a first I decided to bring another. The Nerevarine who according to lore; disappeared during the Oblivion Crisis and rumored to have journeyed to Akavir.

This mod allows the Dragonborn to travel with a recently returned Nerevarine. (I know the Nerevarine's gender and race is up to the player, I like to think the Nerevarine's race is canon to whichever province the game is set in. Though the Dunmer are my favourite race and I did play as one back in those days)

This mod can be found here: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/35032

Features:
- Developed personality/unique dialogue; fully voiced. And will have hundreds of references to TES III: Morrowind and adventures which players may remember...
- Has own unique weapon and ring
- Lore Friendly; references to player's customisation/name etc included to fill this void gap
- Recall Spell in case you both get seperated
- Familiar (unique to Skyrim) books and pamphlets

The Nerevarine is powerful, though not overpowering. Still, I've tried to make it as balanced as possible. He has numerous perks which range from all areas of combat and skills though not 100% overpowering/full (e.g. Bladesman 3/5).

Planned Features:
- Idle chatter and dialogue aren't that developed at this stage. Be in mind my other mod: Arweden takes priority. (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/28081 also check out my other videos for more details on Arweden)

- Quests aren't really planned so far. Will develop dialogue more before I'll even consider it though I may be ambitious enough to allow the player to return to a destroyed Vvardenfell. We'll see.

    Please... please... please make him a marriage candidate too. There are so few elven options out there. Even the most basic of lines would be greatly appreciated. It was so upsetting to find that Dragonborn had only three new options (two female and one male) and NONE of them were Dark elves just more Nords!

    All I could think is come on... more Nords? We head back to Morrowind in a way and we get more Nords?!?!

      Hello. I am still working on the mod. I have been VERY busy as of late and as a result I have had to delay all my mod work BUT I am releasing my Nerevarine mod very soon, it may be unfinished but it is playable. By unfinished I mean a lot of current dialogue remains unvoiced because I have to edit the voice files, create lip sync etc... In fact a release is a lot sooner that you may expect.

    Excellent idea; very ambitious plan. I'll look forward to it.

    Also, I'm not sure but I think you're right in that it's (obliquely) implied in canon that the Nerevarine was Dunmer.

      The canon is that the Nerevarine completed the main quest. (Stopping Dagoth Ur)
      Everything else is debatable!

      There will be multiple references to Morrowind and related topics regarding the? ambiguity of the Nerevarine's race and gender mentioned through dialogue as well for any who wonders.

    Can't wait, about time he came back to kick some ass! Yeah I believe the implied Nev was a Dunmer male, kinda like the hero of Kvatch is an Imperial male and Dovahkiin is a male Nord.
