Description
Arexon the Argonian is a standalone follower plus quest mod featuring an unvoiced but fully written Argonian Battlemage. Along with the added follower, this mod contains new enchanted armor, weapons, and spells that may prove useful to the aspiring Adventurer on their quest to assist, or track down, the battlemage. This mod is much more than just another “I command you to be my follower” mod, instead keeping within the fun of skyrim and adventures. To gain the trust of the clever Argonian Battlemage you must go through 3 quests, and one optional fourth quest, helping Arexon continue his research amidst a troubling predicament with enraged impatient black orcs. This follower is the result of around 1,000 hours and several months of learning how to use the creation kit, making this mod, and testing this mod. I hope with all my heart that you enjoy this mod.To start the mod, you must travel to the Candlehearth hall and talk to the Chef located in the cooking quarters. You could help the suspicious Argonian, or, instead, even harm him in his plans.
Time to complete all quests ranges from 2-4 hours, depending on your level and playstyle.
I STRONGLY RECOMMEND STARTING THIS QUEST AT LEVEL 12 OR HIGHER, YOU WON'T GET THE FULL EXPERIENCE IF YOU START THIS QUEST AT A LOWER LEVEL.
Weapons and Stats
Arexon is an Argonian battlemage enchanter who specializes in Conjuration, Destruction, and Archery, but he is not limited to those rolls. Arexon’s level scales limitlessly to the player, meaning that he will be a useful follower no matter what level you are, unlike the vanilla followers who hard cap at level 50. You can view his primary, secondary, and tertiary stats through a dialogue option once you completed his first quest, and started the second.Arexon primarily uses shock spells and atronach summons. If he is low on magicka, he will resort to using a permanently bound spectral bow and if he needs to, his charged fists that deal moderate shock damage on hit, relative to his current skill in destruction. If you do not like Arexon’s combat style, you can tell him to change it using dialogue options if you completed the first quest, and started the second.
Training and Bartering
Once you’ve completed the second quest, Arexon could sell you some of his supplies including but not limited to unique potions, unique spells, and unique enchantments as well as useful vanilla supplies. And Once you’ve completed the third quest, he can act as a master enchanting trainer… for a price, of course.Lore
If you’re stingy about the established lore, I suggest not installing this mod. This mod doesn’t throw out any existing lore or much change it, but instead adds new lore to the world surrounding argonians, soul gems and a daedric prince.I’ve spent quite a bit of time using UESP reading about Argonian Culture, Daedric Princes, and Soul Gems checking to see if I intruded on any established lore, usually basing it off of already existing lore.
The unfortunate disclaimer of all mods
Like all mods, there's bound to be some bugs that playtesting failed to find, and like all mods, there might be some incompatibilities with certain mods. I strongly suggest keeping a backup of your save before installing this mod.Known Bugs/Issues
Arexon, the Chef, or other npcs in the mod don’t talk to me.Save your game and then reload it. Talk to Maticus of Riverwood. Unfortunately I have no clue how to prevent this bug from happening, if anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
Arexon is stuck on a rock/object/wall/hole.Fast travel to a nearby location, or try pushing him via sprinting into him.This is something I cannot fix, this involves skyrim’s navmesh which isn’t a part of my mod.
This item/weapon/potion/spell/npc/follower is too powerful/weak!
If you think something is unbalanced, please post about it in the discussions! When posting, please include your character level, the armor/spells/weapons you’re using, and your most invested skills.
