Meet Caswyn Andesseril, a bristly mage whose questline leads you to Dreamwalk through the nightmares of others.

 

Horror & History

Features: Caswyn
  • All the scripting you'd expect from a modern companion: Teleportation/Telepathy ring! Send him to various taverns/inns! (Balmora, Sadrith Mora, Ald-ruhn. With TR, Old Ebonheart, Akamora, and Ranyon-ruhn
  • His own questline featuring Vaermina, with more than 5 major quests.
  • Conversations with an emphasis on roleplaying
  • Optional bromance if you play your cards right (note he doesn't have a romance, just a bromance)
  • Arcane assistance! He will cast the following spells on you if you ask: Invisibility, Night-eye, Levitate, Waterbreathing, Waterwalking
  • Commentary on most vanilla questlines/factions, including the MQ
  • Dynamic Disposition! His disposition depends on what factions you’re in, what your rank is in said faction, your stats, and your skills.
  • He does have 10,000 health, so he's unkillable. This is because I hate having to reload a save when a companion dies, and there is an in-game plot reason for his survival. If you don't like this, just leave him somewhere if you think he should've died permanently, or use the console to set his health to 0.
  • Despite being a Telvanni, Caswyn is very ride-or-die, so he will travel with you regardless of your faction choices (though he will complain if you remind him of said choices).
  • He uses a default/vanilla head, so he'll fit right in with whatever replacers you use.

Features: Mod
  • Caswyn!
  • Several new dungeons by Glittergear! Some larger than others. Tel Shadow helped clutter some of them.
  • Companion scripting (mostly) by AlandroSul
  • A questline that keeps both Vaermina and Clavicus Vile entertained! (and hopefully you as well :) )
  • The Surgeon -- an NPC that can perform horrific surgeries on you! Get some daedra skin grafted on to you, replace your heart with the Heart of the Udyrfrykte, and more.
  • NO SPIDERS are in this mod
  • Compatibility: Works with OAAB - Brother Juniper's Twin Lamps if you use BOTH THE REPLACER ESP AND THE PATCH ESP. NOT  current compatible with 6th House Pirates (floating islands/the landmass disappears so everything that was on the island is now floating above the water). Should be compatible with everything else INCLUDING Julan, Arvesa, OAAB Shipwrecks, Vvardenfell landscape overhauls, all dungeon overhauls, etc etc. If you find any issues, let me know; I'll try to fix it or at least add it to the list.
Dynamic Disposition
  • Caswyn's disposition not only depends on his main quest progression, but also the Nerevarine's faction rankings, stats, and skills.
  • If you want a hint, he values competence and arcane ability. For example, he'll begrudgingly respect a high-ranking Mages Guild member.
  • If you want to see the script itself and read all the juicy details, read the readme
  • Note that this means that Caswyn’s disposition cannot be changed via Speechcraft. Actions speak louder than words to him, and he’s very stubborn.
Vanilla Questline Commentary
  • Caswyn will comment as you complete quests and move up in factions. Most of his comments are written as greetings, but some comments (such as “bet with Galbedir”) are written as topics.

About Tamriel Rebuilt...
  • There is a TR Mainland Add-on esp file. House Telvanni, the Mages Guild, and the Thieves Guild are completed UP TO the Grasping Fortune update. The Tribunal Temple has some commentary, but hasn't been finished yet. There is NO commentary for the Grasping Fortune update, as I haven't played it yet.
  • Note: In Vvardenfell, Caswyn will have different greetings based on if you’re in a dungeon (and in which dungeon), what region you’re in, and what settlement you’re in. This is not the case for Tamriel Rebuilt. He only comments on quests.
