I'm a fan of computer games that provide interactive and customizable traveling companions. Series like Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Knights of the Old Republic, Neverwinter Nights and Baldur's Gate are among my favorite.
Why do I like traveling companions? For starters they give me the illusion that I am not alone. I also derive satisfaction from maintaining a party. I enjoy getting to know each of my party members.

1) Why include spouse rescue in AFT:
Mods don't happen overnight. They take months, sometimes years to create. When I started creating AFT in July of 2016, there weren't any spouse rescue mods. It is not uncommon for multiple authors to tackle the same feature unaware of each other. Three Spouse rescue Mods came out before AFT was released in September of 2017.
Bottom line: it wasn't because I was unhappy with the other mods or felt I could do a better job. It was a capability I wanted that didn't e...
