Update: In light of recent events, now every donation points from this mod will also be shared with: Help Ukraine Charity, International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), Make-A-Wish Foundation, Wildlife Conservation Society(WCR), Doctors Without Borders, and Against Malaria Foundation. Every little bit helps!



I've been lurking in NexusMods for almost 5 wonderful, crazy(yet exciting) years, and I think my journey here won't be complete without contributing something to our great nation site. 

So here he is, my first custom follower ever! He's my early attempt in modding PC Games.

He's been with me journeying through draugr-infested tombs, lost for days in dwarven ruins, and slaying those horrifying Frostbite Spiders.
So far he never disappoint me. Well, except that one time he killed Anska and failed my quest(Scroll For Anska) #CompletelyAccident



Before you download, I must tell you that he is a very basic follower. So no custom dialogue, no custom anything.



Install:
Let the your favorite Mod Manager do the do or (if you truly know what you're doing)drop both .esp and .bsa file to [ .../Skyrim/Data ], then enable it in Launcher.

Location:
He can be found at Sleeping Giant Inn in Riverwood, drinking ales and listening to Sven's swoon for Camilla again for the thousandths time.

General:
I set him at minimum level of 5 to maximum 150, also I set him to level up 2x player's level.
His combat style is [ForswornBerserkerLow]. So basically he will use spells and shoot arrows at distance and melee when enemy is too close.
He is also a marriage candidate, in case you wanna marry him.

Equipment:
- Steel Armor* - You can change it using your favorite Follower Framework mod(I recommend NFF) or straight up edit it in Creation Kit.
- NordHero Greatsword.
- NordHero Bow + Arrow (200).
- The Book of the Dragonborn.
- Some sweetrolls (who knows such a giant loves sweet stuff?).
- Some septims (he ain't no freeloader like Embry!).


*due to how the game spawn items that have alternate variants, the Steel Armor he wears will be either the one with pauldrons or not. Just trade him with the one you want with NFF(or similar).


Spells:
- Candlelight (I'm not too keen with torches).
- Waterbreathing (Not really needed for custom follower, since they cannot drown. But giving him this should stop him from going up for air).
- Healing Hands.
- Grand Healing (yep, I die a lot in Skyrim, so I made him a healer).
- Fast Healing.
- Incinerate (the smell of freshly charred frostbite spiders in the morning is relaxing).
- Ebony Flesh.
- Nord Battle Cry.

Perks:
- NOTHING (sorry!)

Modding:
Feel free to modify him to your heart's content, that's why he is a simple follower. Add spells! Give weapons! Tons of septims! So you can rob him later! Do whatever you want,  just be nice to him(he's a big softie) and if you include him in your mod, please credit.

Noob Question:
I want to upload my improved version of him, but unfortunately he has the good ol' grey face bug. So I upload this basic version
If anyone know how to fix it, it will be greatly appreciated!

                       
Thanks for reading, and happy questing!
