About this mod
A translation of the follower mod "FL Cruel" by AzuAudacious.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
This is an English translation of the follower mod Cruel by AzuAudacious.
The original mod is required. This is just an .esp with English strings. It contains nothing of the original mod's assets.
No, this isn't a machine translation, and yes, I have Azu's permission.
❈ As of 5 February 2017, the original mod has been taken down and is no longer available on Nexus. You'll have to find it elsewhere. ❈
I'm not a screen-archer by any means—the images I add are only for the purpose of showing dialogue examples—so feel free to add pictures! Preferably nothing too lewd, though. Also, my rig isn't cut out for videos, so I'd be grateful (and I'm sure Azu would as well) if anyone could make one.
Follower Details
- Name: Cruel
- Location: The Frozen Hearth, Winterhold
- Race: Breton
- Class necromancer
- Combat style magic, with a solid focus on Conjuration
- Height 0.98
- Weight 0
- Body type: UNPB
Cruel is a necromancer-in-training who didn't get along with her family. As her arts are persecuted by the people of Skyrim, she chose to live in seclusion inside crypts and ruins. One day, she decided to come to the College of Winterhold, hoping that she'd be able to hone craft without being shunned by others. However, she failed the entrance test, and was refused entry.
She has a custom Japanese voice and will comment based on circumstances such as where she is, what kind of enemy she's facing, and so on. You can also ask her about herself and the spells she uses. With regards to quests, she currently only has comments about the love triangle in Riverwood, but Azu said he plans to add more content gradually.
(As befitting a necromancer, some of her lines may be a bit on the dark or misanthropic side. Nothing too dark, but I haven't been a minor for quite some years now, so I'm not sure what'd be 'acceptable' or not. I set the file as "adult-only" just to be on the 'safe' side.)
In combat, she uses custom spells (see below), all based on necromantic arts. She will heal you if your health falls below 50%. If you have a follower, she can heal them, too. However, this is limited to one follower; if you have multiple followers with you, she will only heal one of them. It should also be noted that she checks faction parameters as targets for her healing, so she won't heal certain special followers like Serana and Cicero.

(I listed Avoid Death before, but while the perk itself is present in game data, it's not actually added to the NPC entry for Cruel. This seemed to have been a design decision and not by mistake.)
Alternate Versions
In my opinion, she's a bit OP. I run a pretty rough balance, with a level 117 mage and such mods as Enemy Enhancer and Genesis making me face a lot of enemies with 2000-4000 HP on average, but I personally would rather not have OP followers. YMMV. For those who think alike, I've provided two alternate versions that nerf her strength.
- Reduced Cruel's magicka offset from 500 to 250.
- Reduced Cruel's stamina offset from 500 to 100.
- Replaced Cruel's Quadrupet Souls perk with the vanilla Twin Souls.
- Removed the Dragonskin perk (halves damage taken from anyone other than the player) from Cruel's summoned Hagraven.
- Reduced the health offset of Cruel's summoned melee Draugr from 910 to 200.
- Reduced the stamina offset of Cruel's summoned melee Draugr from 400 to 100.
- Reduced the health offset of Cruel's summoned spellcaster Draugr from 910 to 100.
- Reduced the stamina offset of Cruel's summoned spellcaster Draugr from 400 to 0.
- Reduced the magicka offset of Cruel's summoned spellcaster Draugr from 1000 to 500.
- Reduced the health offset of Cruel's summoned Falmer from 300 to 100.
- Reduced the health offset of Cruel's summoned Skeleton from 200 to 100.
"DeOP" version:
- Removed all books and soul gems in Cruel's inventory.
- Reduced Cruel's magicka offset to 100.
- Reduced Cruel's health and stamina offset to 0.
- Reduced all health/stamina/magicka offsets of all of Cruel's summoned creatures to 0.
- Removed Quadruplet Souls from Cruel altogether without replacing it with Twin Souls.
- Removed Dragonskin from the Hagraven.
- Nerfed both Draugr's Extra Damage perk from 2.5 damage to 2.
- Nerfed the Falmer's Extra Damage perk from 2.5 damage to 1.5.
- Reduced Cruel's level cap from 100 to 70.
- Reduced the Hagraven's level cap from 100 to 50.
- Reduced both Draugr's level cap from 100 to 60.
- Reduced the Falmer's level cap from 100 to 50.
- Reduced the Skeleton's level cap from 100 to 40.
The original mod is no longer available here, so permission issues for the original are no longer my concern. For my translated esp, do what you want with it. Reupload, redistribute, convert to SSE or upload it for Xbone/PS4 users (but remember, you need the original mod), use it as a base to translate to other languages—feel free to. No need to ask first. I only ask that you do not charge for access if you reupload the file as-is somewhere.
FAQ
Yes, but you didn't have to read through it all. I coloured the heading so you could read only the parts you consider relevant.
You didn't credit a voice actress.
This is something we agreed upon on purpose. It's to protect her privacy and prevent her from being harassed.
I'm taking a look at the esp and I see a lot of untranslated text.
Yes, it's put there for future updates. There's no proper trigger set yet for those dialogues and they shouldn't appear in game. If you see something that she does say in your game but the text remains untranslated, however, please let me know.
I've got other problems—
Keep in mind that I'm just the translator. I may be able to help with other technical, non-translation-related problems as long as it's not something related to her scripts. I have a near complete lack of Papyrus knowledge.
