Introduction
The main goal of Friend Link is to give the ability to share in the Skyrim experience in a simple and stable way. This mod currently has one feature, it allows you to show up in other worlds as a ball of energy and have your friends show up in your world as their own ball of energies. These energy balls cannot interact with your game but lead still leads to a sense of community. For example, if someone finds a chest they can easily show everyone where the chest is located.
For the best experience I suggest playing in the same room or have a way to communicate through voice.
