This patch should still work however TheTrader has also made a patch for Hoth. Taking a look at his patch in TES5Edit makes me think his is superior to mine. Therefore I will not offer any support for this patch going forward unless TheTrader stops supporting the Hoth Follower Requiem Patch.
Haven't played with Hoth in a very long time. Doing a new Skyrim install with Requiem and I'm going to give him a workout. Curious if you have looked at possibly making a Requiem patch for Toccata : http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/61140. Would be nice to have a healing follower balanced for Requiem play.
Funny that you mention it. I was thinking of adding another follower for healing in my LRP. Regarding the Hoth Patch. This was made during 1.9.2 and TheTrader released a Hoth patch for 1.9.3 Requiem. I have not yet compared my patch and his patch.
I'll take a look at Toccata and see how complex her undertaking would be.
Turns out patching Toccata is very easy... well at least the unscripted version of Toccata 1.2.3 is patched. I'll need to contact the Mod Author to obtain his (or her) blessing before releasing it. The scripted Toccata is a bit of a head scratcher though.
Yeah, I saw the Hoth patch for 1.9.3 when I went to grab some patches, so I ran with that. I was thinking the non-scripted version of Toccata wouldn't be too difficult but the scripted version would probably be a headache. Good luck hacking through all of that and I will keep an eye out for a patch.
I took a look at the files between TheTrader's and mine and they are very similar. The differences lay in that TheTrader made Hoth's boots into steel and I made them into light armor (due to the screen shots). The rest of his armor we labeled as SteelMaterial in the TES5Edit. He chose another material for Hoth's weapon. TheTrader used WoodMaterial and I chose to keep it as Elven Material (like HothTrooper had it labeled) and I Reqtified the weight of the weapon to be like an "Elven Battleaxe."
Additionally TheTrader added a line making a new upgrade (I don't understand it) to Hoth's weapon. The perks TheTrader and I both added are very comparable. Essentially anything that isn't undead or ghost should be fodder before Hoth in either patch.
Working very well in my game. Hoth is a killing machine in Requiem and very helpful at low levels, provided you can scrape up 5000 septims to hire him. Good job!
Out of curiosity since I havent use this patch yet, did you balance his weapon in any way, because IIRC his weapon are steel and he never swap weapons.. so he practically useless against undeads.
HothTrooper in the latest version has Hoth's battle staff labeled like an Elven Axe. If I recall correctly non-silver axes are not terrible against undead opponents. In regards to the changes I made I only changed the weight of the "Elven Axe" to match the weight of Requiem's Elven Axes (Battle Axes).
Personally, I like to have a lot of followers, but for individual dungeons I'll pick few to come in and have the rest stay at camp or at a nearby inn. Hoth for my playthrough would be one I'd take to fight bandits (hacking them to bits), but I would take more tanky (Axe and board) follower or two into a Draugr filled dungeon.
Thanks for making this, saved me some time. On vacation and starting a new game. Will see how it goes.
EDIT: Took a look at the patch. Recommend you take out the Nord race record and Mjoll record or make note to install mods that change those records to load after this patch.
Tempted to use him again, but current game already have Aurylyn, Inigo and Recorder, and I planned to have Serana along.. Maybe next game on 193 I'll go with Andy and Hoth.
