Description

Ever wondered why a religious military order only had one type of warrior? This mod intends to fix that!

Varied Vigilants adds different classes of NPC's to the Vigilants of Stendarr, including mages, several types of melee and even genders! For maximum compatibility the only vanilla assets modified were the NPC's leveled lists.

Added Male characters when only Females were in vanilla, added magic, ranged and melee warriors for all races and genders. Now the Vigilants do stand a chance against Daedra!

Completely Lore-Friendly. More details below.



Requirements

  • Skyrim.esm
  • Update.esm
  • Dawnguard.esm



Installation

1. Install the mod using your favorite mod manager (recommended) or just drop the contents of the file in Data folder.
2. Activate the Varied_Vigilants.esp. You may sort this mod anywhere you like as only vanilla NPC Leveled Lists are altered.
3. Play!

Updating Procedures: Simply replace the esp with the newer version, no worries on updating.

Instructions on adding to BOSS Userlist:

1. Open Boss Userlist Manager.
2. Select Varied_Vigilants.esp in the lower-left pane.
3. Click the "AFTER" selection box and select "BOTTOM".
4. In the adjacent text box type Base V.
5. In the text box below type TAG: {{BASH:Relev}} and click [Save Rule].
6. Close Boss Userlist Manager and click [Yes] when prompted to save. This allows BOSS to properly sort the new file.


Uninstallation

1. Save your game.
2. Deactivate Varied_Vigilants.esp and delete all mod files.
3. Reload the save game and pray it isn't completely destroyed!


Compatibility

Should be compatible with everything else as I changed no vanilla assets! (apart from leveled lists obviously) For complete compatibility create a bashed patch so as not to lose any leveled list changes.


Mod Notes

What this mod does is increase the stock of "basic" NPC's that the game uses when it wants to spawn a new vigilant by almost sixteenfold. Furthermore, it makes sure that the stock of vigilants actually contain some female NPC's (along with other things described below).

New NPC types added:
- Male Dark Elf (there were only females in vanilla)
- Male Redguard (there were only females in vanilla)
- Male and Female Imperials
- Melee Two-Handed Class
- Melee One-Handed and Shield Class
- Melee Dual Wielding Class
- Mage Class
- Ranged Class
- Added progression all the way to level 50!

All the races have one of each of the classes. Over 550 NPC's added (against the 35 in vanilla).
