When you say that they're roaming around Skyrim, do you mean to the degree that they're literally just traveling to random locations across the entire face of the map? Because if so, I'd be happy to download this mod even just for that. I like the idea of characters traveling all across the map and never knowing exactly when you'll bump into one. Another question: Do they enter towns and interiors?
As of yet, I haven't figured that out perfectly. They start in a certain location, then wander around from there. I hope to play around with scripts to try to get a random encounter sorted for each character in future.
*Update: I created a new AI package that allows the followers to wander similarly to Maiq the Liar. It's included with the newest version
I don't suppose you have that AI package dialed into your brain do you? I'm building a mod like this for my own use and wandering such as Maiq was just what I was looking for
Is the wandering behavior specific to these followers only, are you making more followers/follower packs as well, and are these scripts relatively heavy/are they safe? I think this is a great idea.
Also, I think it would be a cool mechanic to add to UFO or something, or even add it to vanilla followers so they aren't always just hanging around and whatnot. Either way I think this should be more publicised, sounds great!
I think what he meant was why don't they match up with your character level? Like if your level 10, your followers should be level 10 to keep things balanced. Sure when you reach level 40 it works out then, but i doubt many people play a single character that far.
True, that seems to be convention. However, I think that it's more lore-friendly for each of these followers to possibly be more hardy than the player. It makes them seem like they have wandered all over Skyrim, and seen all there is to be seen. But, I might take this into consideration, and release a separate file that makes them level with the player.
