Details
=======
Cap'n Dante is a Nord race and an experienced Thief class character and is quite deadly with his blade skill. He is occasionally seen at the Bloated Float in the Imperial City Waterfront area. Since the loss of his ship, due to an unpaid gambling debt, he is on a quest to find more booty or treasure so that he can buy back his beloved ship.

***Special note he will always wear his pirate gear and hat and will not wear anything else. He will change his weapon though.***


Install
=======
1. Extract the files to a temporary location (your PC's desktop for example).
2. Examine the folder structure and make corrections where necessary.
3. Copy files Meshes, Textures, and the DACaptDante.esp to "Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\Data"
4. Start the Oblivion Launcher, click 'Data Files', place a check mark beside DACaptDante.esp, CM Partners.esm, and CM Partners.esp and any other CM Partner esps that you want to add to your game.
5. Remember Blackie's CM Partners mod basic is needed for this mod to function. Blackie has supplied excellent documentation that explains most of the options for this companion mod so please take the time and read it.


Misc.
=====
If you are using my other companions Tamara, Aliyah, Raewyn, Aanila, Gimli, or Gandalf it is OK to overwrite the CM Partners.esm, and the CM Partners.esp as they are both compatible with one another. You can use the Party commands now too.

A great thing about this companion is that it is completely compatible with all of the Animation mods out there. Example: trollf's Actors in charge. The animation spells work well.

Here are some great animation mods.
