I have follower Death and Injury Chance recently into list to test it out as I am working on a list with MANY followers decorating skyrim, I also use Kill Essentials and am used to using Essential Knockdowns in previous playthroughs - - so I am looking for followers to die, but not rapidly as I am overloaded with enemies - - how do you think this mod would work with all of that, does it interfere or blend ? I like the knockdown and so far the death and injury chance has been testing well
Hey there. I tried to keep this short but couldn't manage, somewhat tired atm. I can't give a TLDR right now, I hope what I said below makes sense for you.
I don't have Kill Essentials. From what I see, it changes essential flag to protected (by default settings).
So even if you don't have other mods to make non-essential & non-protected NPCs essential or protected, you will see the NPCs that are targeted by Kill Essentials knockdown with my edit.
As with Follower Death and Injury Chance, I am not really sure how it deals with followers that are essential or protected. If it does not overrule these flags, you will see them knockdown. If otherwise, then results will vary. Speculatively I assume they knockdown if they would survive from "death chance".
However, if you are utilising Kill Essentials to remove these flags completely, then followers would behave however non-essential/non-protected followers would. This is a question of how Follower Death Chance works on these kind of NPCs. If it brings them to their knees (on a survival), then this is what they will do, regardless of whether you have Edryu's mod with or without my edit. Because they are no longer essential or protected, therefore they cannot be detected by Essentials Knockdown, again, with or without my touch.
