Main Mod Progress Report (4/8/24):

Spoiler:  
Show

Up to 2000 out of 2200 lines edited and implemented far Ma'kara's audio in the Vigilant patch. As of this moment all of Act 1 through Act 4 is implemented! Doing a second pass in the Creation Kit for errors, then moving on to the last 150-200 lines. Play testing soon, and then, mercifully, release! Looking like the patch will end up with a staggering ~5600 lines of dialogue (!) when it's all said and done. Thanks for your patience while I work through this. I am a bit of a perfectionist, so audio editing takes me a while, and my modding time becomes more and more limited as time goes on. I've seen the drop off in usage and chatter surrounding KWF, which is sad, but I understand it. No updates, people move on. I'm sorry this has taken so long, and I appreciate those of you who have stuck around over the years.

All the best,
robbobert

Main Points:
Spoiler:  
Show

  • Added configuration option to teach Nanak the Candlelight spell. He only uses it sparsely, but maybe this is the start of things to
    come.
  • Fixed a "deleted" navmesh in Kagrenzel. You're welcome.
  • Built framework for follower banter with intended future support for:
    -- Inigo
    --Lucifer
    --Xelzaz
  • ~50 new male combat dialogues for if Inigo is currently recruited.
  • Approximately doubled the chances for Combat Begin and Combat End commentaries to fire. Let me know if this is overkill.
  • Kharjo and J'zargo can now be summoned using the Khajiit-attuned Horn.
  • Various miscellaneous bug fixes.

Vigilant Patch Update (7/17/23):The KWFxVigilant Patch has been updated to version 1.7.2. Compatible with Vigilant 1.7.2. This is primarily a bug fix patch, but also adds voice work for Ma'kara for Act 1 and Act 2. Acts 3 and 4 for Ma'kara are still WIP. See the full patch notes linked below:

Reminder about KWF x Vigilant:
The KWFxVigilant patch adds support for bringing your follower(s) with you through the Vigilant mod by vicn.

  • Fully voiced, with 4100 new lines of dialogue (males only, until Ma'kara's lines are done) aimed at enhancing Vigilant without getting in its way
  • Commentary on quests, locations, events, and choices the player makes     --the more you speak to your follower, the more they'll have to say
  • 50+ unique conversations with your follower, 150+ scenes, and 8 endings, determined by the choices you make during your playthrough.


-- Vigilant and SKSE required (not suggested, *required*)
-- HIGHLY SUGGESTED that you use this with the Vigilant Voiced mod by Aelarr. Can't recommend it enough.
-- A preview of the intro to the patch is available at this Youtube link: KWF x Vigilant Preview Video

~~~Notes and Compatibility~~~

KWF Notes:

Spoiler:  
Show

  • AFT/NFF/EFF Compatibility - KWF followers are NOT compatible with mods that alter follower behavior, including AFT. Their AI is convoluted, and these mods *will* break their brains.
  • AI Voice Synthesis - I will not use AI synthesis to produce dialogue, and I will not approve requests from others to produce their own AI-synthesized audio using voicework contained within KWF. Please respect me and all the other voice actors involved in this project and do not use our voices to train an AI algorithm without our consent.
  • Khajiit Speak Patches - Use Khajiit Speak dialogue replacers for KWF at your own risk. Doing so may break quests, marriage, and cause other unpredictable behavior, especially if said patches are not updated for the current version of KWF. BA Khajiit Speak has a known crash that occurs during the wedding ceremony.
  • Marriage Compatibility - KWF Followers are compatible with all vanilla, Hearthfire, and AE/CC houses. Additional custom houses may be added in the future, but for now, that's it.
  • Project Ja-Kha'jay If you use the Project Ja-Kha'jay KWF replacers, you may need to UNINSTALL them when updating your version of KWF, and then reinstall them afterward. Failure to do so may result in the gray face bug for all replacer'd KWF NPCs.


KWF x Vigilant Notes:
Spoiler:  
Show

  • SKSE Required - SKSE is required for the Vigilant content patch. Additionally, Fuz Ro D-oh Silent Voice is required if you plan to bring Ma'kara along on your playthrough.
  • Compatibility - The KWF x Vigilant patch has a minor conflict with Cities of the North: Dawnstar. COTN moves the XYZ coordinates of the Dawnstar Inn interior cell, resulting in the KWF follower spawning outside the playable area and falling into the void. This can be fixed by using the Khajiit-attuned Horn to summon them after entering, or by traveling to the Temple of Stendarr after accepting Altano's invite.
  • Vigilant Voiced - It is HIGHLY SUGGESTED that you use this with the Vigilant Voiced mod by Aelarr. Can't recommend it enough.
  • Project Ja-Kha'jay - If you use the PJKJ replacer for KWF x Vigillant, you will need to UNINSTALL it when updating KWF x Vigilant, and reinstall it afterward. Failure to do so will result in the gray face bug for KWFxVigilant NPCs.

                                                                                                          
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
KHAJIIT WILL FOLLOW
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
KWF adds four custom-voiced, marriageable khajiit followers,
each with their own quests, backstory, personality, and playstyle:



Bikhai is a warmhearted sword and board warrior
who is currently in Whiterun looking to join the Companions.



Ma'kara is a dual-wielding alleycat who grew up on the streets of Balmora in Morrowind.
She has come to Skyrim in search of her missing brother, and was last seen leaving Darkwater Crossing.



Nanak is a magic-using scholar who takes great pride in his intellect.
He is currently in Solitude reading up on the history of Skyrim and its people.



S’ariq is a dual wielding sneak thief who is currently awaiting execution
in the jails of Riften after a not-so-successful heist.
                                                                                                           


Features
-- Custom-voiced with over 10,000 lines of dialogue, each follower with lines unique to them.

-- Custom follower framework and support for vanilla marriage framework. (AE/CC house support included via optional ESL file)

-- Extensive conversation system. Have daily conversations with your followers/spouse to see what they're thinking and get insight into their character.

-- Massive content patch for The Forgotten City mod by TheModernStoryteller. ~1000 lines of dialogue and three endings depending on how you play!

-- Enormous content patch for the Vigilant mod by vicn. ~4100 lines of dialogue and eight endings depending on how you play! (Vigilant Voiced mod by Aelarr highly recommended)

-- Lots of customization options:
  • Assign your primary follower for the Vigilant/Forgotten City patches.
  • Horse riding.
  • Multiple combat styles.
  • Multiple waiting behaviors.
  • Make your follower Essential so they can't be killed.
  • Set custom dismissal waypoints for follower to return to when dismissed.
  • Customize your difficulty by limiting follower damage output and damage taken.
  • Toggle extra commentary on and off.

-- Context-sensitive comments on weather, locations, weapons and magic you have out, items you have equipped, factions you’re in, whether you're sneaking or not, and on and on. The more you talk to your follower, the more new things they’ll have to say, but critically, they’ll mostly only speak when spoken to, in order to avoid becoming a noisy nuisance (I’m looking at you, Mjoll).

-- Hundreds of combat barks before, during, and after battle.

-- 1 custom dungeon, 3 new weapons, 5 new armors, 1 semi-hidden quest, and 1 new spell for you to find and save the world with!

-- Unravel the mystery of Chatur'jo, but whatever you do, don’t make him angry!
