So here I was wondering around the marshes of Morthal, Inigo at my side killing mudcrabs as I collecting nirnroots are usual. Time had past, three years in total within Skyrim. Alduin was long dead, guild missions completed and 98% of side quests were done and dusted. Skyrim was filling very empty for once, to be honest the occasional new line from Inigo was the only thing that made it worth it, though I truly started to believed there was not much more he could say.
I was wrong...
As I walked back over to my steed I heard Inigo speak something along the lines of, "There's something I want to speak to you about, remind me when we are somewhere safe." In truth, I did yelled at my computer screen... "EVERYTHING HAS ALREADY BEEN SAID."
While I fast travelled back home, I questioned if it was a glitch...it had to be, after 586 hours with this one character, he comes up with new stuff now... It had to be a glitch.
I got home to my Riverwood modded shack, and got Inigo to sit as saved my game...
It was not a glitch.
Inigo asked me how to pronounce 'Chaurus.' That has never - ever happened before... I don't know what I did. I have seriously have no idea...
THEN.
He asked about my characters parents... (legit) o.o
What...
--
Safe to say, Inigo is full of surprises, even after hundreds of hours of game play...
- Though I have to say I have come to the conclusion that one, Garrus Vakarian, is indeed space Inigo... For the love of Blue, facial scars, amazing voices and a wicked aim. Not to forget epic dance moves *chuckles*
When I confessed to Inigo that I wasn't the person who he shot, I felt heartbroken when he was getting ready to leave, but I convinced him to stay with me because he's my best friend in Skyrim. Truly a remarkable follower mod.
I suppose i have a regrettable moment with poor Inigo... I downloaded an infinity gauntlet mod recently, got all the stones, and discovered the Gauntlet had a telekinisis spell. So to make a long story short, i spent a solid hour playing "Yeet the kitty" and using the citizenry of skyrim as test dummies with my argonian assassin Ghiz-Mo. All the while giggiling like a power mad schoolgirl.
I was doing a College Of Winterhold quest when i accidentaly hit Inigo with a spell and he automatically turned hostile and begun trying to kill me. I could do nothing besides sit there and watch him say "Is this what you want ?!" and attack me. I was broken. I played almost 200 hours with Inigo, and when he started to attack me i felt enormous guilt and my heart was broken. I literally almost cried. I loaded the game back and the "What did i just do" thought couldn't leave my mind. I didn't play Skyrim for two days, full of regret.
Yeah. Felt horrible for a follower mod, i'm a pussy.
1. whenever i feel down, i opened skyrim, took inigo to the nearest inn, and have a "i'm not doing good" chit chat with him, i have to admit his wise words and advices leave a distinct impression for me
2. i won't took Inigo out on adventures unless Vilja also present, they're makes a sweet companion and their conversations makes my adventures much much more colorful
3. i can't hold my tears when i read his father's Journal for the first time
totally worth it for me, Inigo and Vilja will have many random conversations whenever possible, quite often and sometimes entertaining. have Vilja and Inigo as Archer when i charge forward with sword and shield really helpful, they both could dispatch many foes pretty quick together, saved my ass in few occasions
My last playthrough with Inigo was pretty golden. Some highlights:
1. Inigo calling me a psychopath after my Fire Breath shout accidentally caught a fox in the fringes, whilst he ran after the fox to finish it off.
2. Inigo worrying about how many dead might be walking around in a crypt, whilst being surrounded by my Ordinator-provided skeleton army.
3. Inigo being with me for the first time whilst doing A Night to Remember. Every moment was golden, especially the part with the goat.
4. Giving Inigo Dawnbreaker. Best decision ever. Not only because of how good he is with the weapon, but his obvious love for the sword. I've had over-exposure to Meridia's quest but now I'll do it just to get that sword to give it to Inigo.
5. Approaching a Legendary Dragon fight, I popped out my Dremora Lord, and Inigo said "Team Dragonborn!" Warm fuzzies.
6. At Kodlak Whitemane's funeral, as Aela moved to light the pyre, Inigo turned to me and said that he could smell dogs. There's a time and a place, Inigo.
7. An epic four-way battle took place between Inigo, Teldryn Sero, Neloth and Teldryn's flame atronach. They went in on each other, it was like a world war happening right there in the dwarven ruin. The ice between them was broken when Teldryn took out his atronach, which exploded and blasted everyone. They all stopped and Inigo said "oops".
8. I tried out the Miraak follower mod. Miraak and Inigo do NOT play nicely together. Miraak constantly blasts Inigo into space in combat. I'd be focused on my fight when I'd see Inigo suddenly fly over my head. Inigo gets mad, goes hostile, whilst Miraak acts all innocent. Inigo hacks away at him with his sword while Miraak just stands there calmly, looking in my direction, as if to say 'what is with this guy please stop him'. Inigo was too powerful for my illusion magic so I had to rely on loading screens to stop their bickering whenever it would kick off (i.e. all the time).
9. A forced lunar werewolf transformation from MT happened not far from a Stormcloak camp. The Stormcloaks went hostile and it set off a big battle. I finish up with my soldiers and turn to find Inigo...chasing after a Stormcloak horse, swinging his sword around and shouting insults. What did the horse do to you, dude?
10. Inigo's dialogue with Lydia. I don't normally have her with me, I'm not a fan, so I was hearing some dialogue I'd never heard before. My favourite was the joke that Inigo tells, but Lydia tells better! I really want to test him with other followers soon, even Mjoll, though Mjoll's constant dialogue annoys me badly. I will be so happy if his interactions with other followers, including DLC ones, gets expanded in a future edition.
11. Inigo, Erik and I gatecrashed the bad guy at the Ritual Stone. As we were finishing that mess, Inigo shouted to leave his steed alone. A sabre cat had crept up and started attacking Artax while we were distracted. I've never heard him shout that before!
Oh my god thank you - I've used it for calling him to me because he sometimes just idles on the spot while we're travelling, but I forgot about this! It would certainly solve my problems with Miraak, who literally causes trouble everywhere he goes. He's such a high maintenance follower but I don't think I could live without seeing Miraak sweeping my floor anymore tbh
sometimes when im bored, i whack inigo with stendarr's hammer and send him flying through solitude's wall, then i just summon him and do it again and again
*shoots you in the head with an ice spike, repeatedly - (the cheat ice spike spell, 39k damage that sends victims flying miles like ragdolls) Just for the fun of it.. Walks up to you.. "Cheat - Resurrect"'s you... then does it again.. and again... and again. Rinse.. and repeat...*
So Inigo and I were chilling at the Winking Skeever and I thought it was a good time to spam some questions at him. After about ten full minutes of me pressing "Tell me about yourself" and "Any thoughts?" I finally disengage dialogue, then he gets up and quite literally speed-walks away from me to another table.
Well, at least he was polite enough to humor my ceaseless harassment before running off to another corner of the inn.
So I recently installed the Ordinator skill tree/perk mod, and man does it have some cool features. For example, I think in the Sneak tree there's a perk that automatically sets trip wires behind you when detected by hostiles. And I mean trip wires that actually trip people, and they always pop up behind you.
But Hmmm, who's usually behind you, I wonder?
Oh yeah. It's a treat to enter combat, have a trip wire spawn behind you, stop, then see Inigo fly past you to land flat on his face. The "high force" ragdolls mod only makes it better.
But my favorite Inigo trip had to be when I was entering the Black Briar Estate to get Frost's deed while sneaking just as Inigo was tripping. When we spawned in he was stuck flat on his face on the ground. I turn to him, hit 'E'.
"Something on your mind?" he whispers while face-planted.
It was Lydia, Inigo, and I. We all were deep in some cave full of vampires doing a quest for a Jarl. We all reached the Master Vampire and a huge battle broke out. While Inigo and I were handling the lesser named vampires Lydia charged off towards the Master Vampire. She died against him and he raised her back from to dead. Nothing was more heartbreaking then watching Inigo charge toward the the undead Lydia, Chopping her head off with Dawnbreaker (in which the explosion killed the master vampire in return) then returning to her ashes to say his final goodbye to her.
Wow. That's the saddest thing I've heard in a while. That said, I love it when a bunch of emergent behaviours all line up like that to create new little narratives. Thank you for sharing.
[1] I have collected 500 sweetrolls for Inigo - that's his weight in sweetrolls. Actually, I've collected (many) more, but he ate them.
[2] If Inigo is sleeping when I leave the house, I don't want to wake him. I (leave alone and) summon him after 9 AM (time he usually gets up) (or 10, so he can have breakfast). Do other people do this?
[3] Erik farts. Inigo: "That would have dropped a dragon!" A tiny bit further along the way, a (glitched) dragon's corpse flops to the ground and starts twitching awkwardly. Note to self: stay upwind from Erik.
[4] Mzinchaleft, hunting for Grimsever. There is a bars-and-levers puzzle; the Dragonborn shouts at the wrong moment and gets trapped by bars. The only lever she can reach lowers bars that are further away. Rats! "Inigo, could you pull that lever next to you? Thanks." "I regret I cannot do that." "Inigo, don't mess around man, I'm stuck here." "...No." "Are you... going to leave me here?!?" The Dragonborn goes crazy, wolf-in-a-tiny-cage syndrome; she tries to jump high enough to reach the other side, tries to shout the bars away, tries to launch herself through them... Nope. Dwemer quality trap. "Agh! I'm stuck, I'm stuck! I'll become one of those lonely skeletons and Alduin is going to eat the world! How embarrassing!" "How are you bearing up, my friend? Everything all right?" "No! And why did you pass through the bars?... now we're both stuck. I am NOT going to eat you when I start starving. No, I'll teleport you back there and you go get help. Get Langley, I'm sure he'll be delighted to hear about this." (...) "Oh. Wait. There's a... valve on that side, do you see it? I'll teleport you there, can you turn it?" "It will be done." A moment later, the bars are lowered; crisis over. "Erm, shall we put this on the list of things we don't talk about?" "Ok. Let us get back to it." Such a professional.
Had some real fun with this most recent playthrough as a khajiit werewolf mage, and doing Bad Vibrations was made 10x funnier thanks to the Moonlight Tales Overhaul mod.
Last time I did this quest with Inigo I was a dark elf and L addressed me that way, so this time I experimented and stayed in werewolf form. I wasn't disappointed. "You - you...whatever you are!" What made it even better is that at that moment, hostile Vigilants added by MTO who I thought I'd lost on the road gatecrashed the cabin and ended up in a pile of dead bodies in front of the door.
Inigo came out with a line about the Bog of Eternal Stench when we arrived at Labyrinthian - a reference to my favourite childhood movie, GET IN!
I really love this mod - Inigo is the gift that never stops giving. Even when I'm trying to RP a pretty crappy character (e.g. a Thalmor Justiciar), I can never bring myself to use rude conversation options with Inigo.
There are only a few things I really hope will be considered for any future versions of this mod:
1 - Interactions with Marcurio. He's my favourite vanilla follower and it would be great to see Inigo interacting with him 2 - I'd love for there to be options for the player to randomly express thanks to Inigo. After all this questing, talking to him, having my squishy mage butt saved by him etc, there are times I just really wish that my character could choose to say 'thanks' 3 - Will there be any plans for Dawnguard interactions? In the main mod or as an expansion, maybe? I think Inigo's commentary on a vampire lord would be cutting in the best possible way 4 - Since Inigo loves Riften, I kind of wish you could offer Honeyside to him

For future reference you can always stop combat between Inigo and a friendly npc with his whistle. One of its many, MANY useful functions.
I HAVE to get the Miraak mod just to see it for myself!
I am also going to start all over again just so I can play the WHOLE game with my trusty blue not so much milk-drinker but milk-drinking sidekitty.
Because?...... justice for Inigo.
