About this mod

Custom standalone followers based on characters from Dragon Age: Inquisition. Uses vanilla voice.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Standalone vanilla-voiced followers based on five characters from Dragon Age: Inquisition. Kinda, sorta made to complete Enaya13's Dragon Age followers here

Appearance: Using Charmers of the Reach assets, all textures are standalone and included. They are not perfect replicas of their Inquisition counterparts, but hopefully close enough. Body meshes will use whatever default you have installed (or vanilla). Different versions for UNP or CBBE-based bodies.

Combat + other things: Custom classes and combat styles. All companions (except Josephine) have custom abilities in combat. They start out with crappy clothes and equipments so you can kit them with whatever you want. Essential, has Lightfoot perk, levels up indefinitely, marriageable, etc etc.

Technical details: They have their own custom race; any mod that affects races won't affect them. Etc etc.


... but who are the followers, you ask?

Cassandra Pentaghast
Voice type: FemaleCommander
Combat: 1H shield tank
Ability: Attacks deal 10pts of magicka per hit on all enemies, and extra 10pts per hit on undead, daedra, and rogue mages. Nearby allies gain 25% magic resistance in combat.
Location: Windhelm. She patrols around the city, with the occasional break to rest inside the Temple of Talos.

Cullen Rutherford
Voice type: MaleYoungEager
Combat: 1H shield tank
Ability: Attacks deal 10pts of magicka per hit.
Location: Whiterun, Dragonsreach Dungeon. If he's somehow not there, try checking the great porch, or the Bannered Mare.
note: I know he doesn't really look like Cullen (those eyelids are hard to replicate, man). Luckily, there's another Cullen follower that might suit your fancy.

Josephine Montilyet
Voice type: FemaleEvenToned
Combat: archer, dual wield
Ability: none, can't think of any.
Location: Solitude, Blue Palace. Sometimes visits the docks and the inn.
note: I know the hair doesn't really look like the one she got in Inquisition--please give her a wig or something.

Vivienne de Fer
Voice type: FemaleElfHaughty (use Missing Follower Dialogue Edit or RDO to recruit her, or change her voice type in the esp)
Combat: ice mage, spellsword
Ability: Nearby enemies have their movement slowed by 50% in combat.
Location: Markarth, Understone Keep (near where Calcelmo is). Sometimes visits the inn and the Temple of Dibella.

Sera
Voice type: FemaleYoungEager
Combat: archer, dual wield
Ability: Deals +50% more damage against enemies that are blocking or power attacking.
Location: Riften, sandboxing around the city and the docks. Sometimes visits the apothecary and the inn.


Known issues:
- Clipping with hairs and ears aplenty.
- Cassandra and Cullen's foreheads might clip with some wigs.
- There's a workaround fix included to make Vivienne's ability work (technically, the spell also lowers enemies' carry weight by 1pt to 'force' their speed to change), but I recommend using an actual slow fix like this one.
- Modern Brawl Bug fix is also recommended.
- If there are any other bugs and issues, please just make a bug report. I don't always visit the comment section.


Questions someone might have in the future:

- Custom voice?
None for now, sorry! I'm hoping to give them their Inquisition voices sometime in the future, but so much work and I'm a little burned out from modding already.
Side note: if you're someone who knows how to reliably extract voices from Bioware games with Frosty Editor, hit me up. 

- But they don't look like...? I tried. CotR has its limits too.

- I already have a Cullen follower from somewhere else, what to do? Just disable whichever companion you don't want through console, it ain't that hard.

- I can't recruit Vivienne! Get Missing Follower Dialogue Edit or Relationship Dialogue Overhaul. Or open the esp through SSEEdit and change her voice type to something else.

- Can't you make other companions from DAI? Nope. There's already Dorian, Iron Bull, and Solas by Enaya13 here. I also made Leliana here, Morrigan here, (DA:O) Alistair here and (my own version of) Zevran here.
If you're talking Blackwall, Varric, or Cole, idk. They're a bit harder to do with that glorious beard and Varric being a dwarf (I would need a custom dwarf skeleton for him). If you can help me with porting assets and such, (please) hit me up!

- Body textures are weird! Pick the version that's compatible with your body mod. Vanilla users should be fine with UNP.

- What armor are they wearing? Gryphonknight Regalia, Gallant Bandit (from VIGILANT), Noblesse Obligee and Apachii Divine Elegance (+ a recolor by me). Cassandra is wearing this armor, fixed and ported to SE by me.

- Can I submit my own screenshots? Yep.
