Mazoga Follows is a modern Vanilla-style companion mod and quest expansion for Mazoga the Orc.

Designed to be a seamless addition to the vanilla experience, Mazoga Follows expands upon the Mazoga the Orc questline and NPC found in Leyawiin Castle.

Features
  • Simple dialogue based options for managing Mazoga and her items.
  • Appropriate dialogue for all options with matching facial expressions.
  • Automatic repair for any equipment Mazoga is holding.
  • Automatic adjustment of Mazoga's skills to remain balanced vs. the player.
  • Automatic adjustment of Mazoga's movement speed to match the player.
  • Mazoga is set Essential after becoming your Companion to avoid accidental deaths.
  • Tracking system ensures Mazoga cannot be lost. If she gets too far from your current location while following, Mazoga will be seamlessly teleported to you. 
  • RESPECT! Mazoga will now be called "Sir Mazoga the Orc" after being knighted at the end of her questline.

How to Use
Upon successful completion of the Mazoga the Orc questline, if you have gained Mazoga's favor and both of you have become Knights of the White Stallion, Mazoga will become available as a Companion. Speak with Mazoga to find a new dialog option, "Let's work together." This will make Mazoga your companion and she will begin following you and fighting by your side!

The mod features a robust dialog based system for interacting with Mazoga and managing her items. While Mazoga is your companion, speak with her and say "We need to talk" to discuss equipment and follower status. You will then have the option to either take Mazoga's current items or GIVE her your current equipment. This allows you to give Mazoga the exact loadout you want by equipping it on yourself first.

If you are tired of Mazoga, you can ask her to "Wait here" and she will remain in the current location. If you want Mazoga to stop being your companion, ask her to wait then speak to her again and say "Let's stop working together". Mazoga will automatically return to the White Stallion Lodge and resume her vanilla behavior. 

Requirements
Mazoga Follows requires the Oblivion Script Extender (OBSE). I recommend xOBSE, a community maintained fork of the original: https://github.com/llde/xOBSE/releases/latest

Installation
  • Move the MazogaFollows.esp file into your Steam\steamapps\common\Oblivion\Data folder. 
  • Enable the file through the Oblivion Launcher.
Vortex users can probably install normally. I have not tested this, so if you download via Vortex, please post and let me know how it goes!

FAQ
Q: Why did you make this mod?
A: While doing Mazoga's quest on a recent playthrough, instead of taking her to the camp we just free-roamed together. We did a few Oblivion gates and she was a great partner. I was so sad to have to leave her behind that I made this mod. This is my first Oblivion mod so please let me know what you think!

Q: How do I enjoy this content?
A: Complete the questline of "Mazoga the Orc" found in Leyawiin castle then speak with her.

Q: I completed the quest, but Mazoga won't follow me.
A: The quest must be performed a certain way for Mazoga to become your follower. You must allow her to confront Black Brugo and she must survive and be Knighted at the end of the questline. Basically, if Mazoga gets mad at you or fails to become a knight, she will not follow you.

Q: I already completed Mazoga's questline before installing the mod, will she still become my follower?
A: Probably not. You should be fine as long as you have not yet completed the final portion of the Mazoga the Orc questline, quest "Knights of the White Stallion". The dialog options are added to Mazoga via script when this quest is completed.

Q: Mazoga is gone and I can't find her.
A: If you have completed her questline, check Leyawiin Castle and the White Stallion Lodge to try and find her.

Q: What other mods are you using in the screenshots?
A: Oblivion Character Overhaul, Oblivion Reloaded, and All Natural.

Q: Can I abuse Mazoga's repair system to repair my own equipment for free?
A: Probably. I don't really see this as a worthwhile exploit since you're just losing out on potential XP and at 100 Repair it's much easier to fix your own stuff.

Q: Do you love Mazoga?
A: . . . <3
