About this mod

This mod adds a follower called IDIOT ELF.
IDIOT ELF has a been a source of constant ridicule since Skyrim first launched. Surely no one would want such a foolhardy companion fighting by their side!
But for those of you that feel the need to have a follower you can constantly look down on and mock… We present to you, the IDIOT E

Just what absolutely no one in their right mind wanted… Skyrim’s most IDIOTIC FOLLOWER is now available for you to abuse.
IDIOT ELF has been a source of constant ridicule since Skyrim first launched. Surely no one would want such a foolhardy companion to fight by their side!
 
As a Dovahkiin, she's been a constant source of embarrassment for any unfortunate Housecarl that has been tasked with the difficult job of keeping her alive (or not killing her themselves).  Now it's your turn to see if you can put up with her in your own game.

This mod adds a follower called Idiot Elf. She can be found in Jorrvaskr (the Companions longhouse in Whiterun).
 

For those of you that have not yet come across Idiot Elf, here are her main character traits (deficiencies)…
  • Clumsy; - If there is a trap to spring or a hole to fall down, she will rarely miss the chance.
  • Curious; - Especially when it comes to finding out what tripwires do. (if she were a cat, 9 lives would not be enough to get her through your game).
  • Greedy; - Willing to do any dubious task if there is a hope of gold, or steal anything not nailed down.
  • Compulsive hoarder; - Quickly becomes over encumbered due to her addiction to collecting crap (Especially shoes and boots). 
  • Thick skinned; - Insult her as much as you want (everyone else does), she can take it.
  • Narcissistic;- Egotistical and rarely considers others welfare (the phrase “centre of the universe” is taken to a whole new level).
  • Naive; - More trusting than a toddler, and greener than grass.
  • And of course…Absolutely Bloody Stupid!

 
So how is this possible, you ask?... Well, through some catastrophic jargony explosion of the time space thingamabob and other sciencey type stuff, our highly skilled Modding Team (Niborino9409) has managed to extract the pure mystical essence of this cretinous character (save file) and preserve it in a magical chalice (download) just for your entertainment (persecution).

Thanks to the amazing work or our Modding Team, we have also included some Special assets that are unique to Idiot Elf, and even relate to her stories. Unfortunately, these do not include the exploding chickens. You will just have to download her to find out what they are.
 

If you really want to go ahead with this, please seek medical advice.
If then you still want to continue, we’d recommend using VORTEX, (as it is nearly Idiot Proof).


These aren’t necessary, but if you are trying to get her as close as possible to her original gormless features, here’s what I have on for Skyrim SE…
 

Whilst every effort has been made to make her more intelligent and dependable as a follower, we have failed miserably. We cannot be held responsible for any stupidity she may bring to your game.
Any other followers you have travelling with you will soon want to kill her, or themselves.
If you suddenly find her lagging behind, please check her inventory. She has probably hoarded more baskets, shoes, or pots and pans than she can physically carry.
Be wary of giving her anything that is precious and fragile. She may hand it back to you in the form of a jigsaw.
In summary… Download her if you dare!
 


She’s an Idiot!  Oh sorry… You meant in game.
Erm... None that we are aware of. But let us know what you come across.
 

Poor Idiot hasn't actually seen much game play as she’s normally too busy posing for screenshots. 
Her previous antics in Skyrim have been pretty well documented on Nexus Images since 2011. 
To catch her original larks, take a look at Reimar67’s Back Catalogue.
Or you can follow her new adventures in Skyrim SE using IDIOT ELF - The Skyrim Revisited COMPENDIUM
At the time of this release, there are over 5,000 Frames of Funnies on Nexus (many made into GIFs). 
And she has her own YouTube channel, with over 13 hours of IDIOT ELF Videos on YouTube.


Where can I find her?... In Jorrvaskr (the Companions longhouse in Whiterun). Guess you didn’t read the description so far. Now who’s the Idiot?
 
Is she custom voice acted?... Yes, but only in my own head. She sounds like an innocent, but simple English Female. However, in the absence of this in the Skyrim…   She has the standard voice of a Dark Elf (voiced by the immensely talented Lani Minella).
 
My Idiot has disappeared again. Where is she?… Please check that she has not fallen down that pit you walked past a couple of hours ago. Failing that, she is just lagging behind, collecting crap. Don’t worry. When she catches you up, she’ll spend hours showing you her collection of buckets and baskets.

Does she actually do any of these idiotic things in my game?...
I’m afraid not. She’s no dumber than any other follower, so some imagination is needed. At least until we can work out a way of getting her to trigger every trap or pick up every bucket within 100 paces of her.

Is there a Skyrim (Oldrim) version?...
Yes there is, but don’t tell anyone. It’s a secret.


A massive thanks to all you clever Modder’s out there. You all make this game amazing (even after all these years). 
This Mod is only possible because someone a lot cleverer than I was willing to help.
For some obscure reason, Niborino9409 thought it would be a good idea to add IDIOT ELF as a follower. I’d love to thank him ever so much for his work, but he is now locked up in a mental institute. By all accounts the handcuffs and gags are not too painful. If you want to see him, the visiting hours are between 3 - 5 pm every other full moon. However, his excellent Mods are available on Nexus at any time.

Thanks Nibs.
