Description:-

Here's my Argonian follower based on one of my characters. He's named Slays-Many-Elves and can be found upstairs in the Bee and Barb inn, Riften. He's a loyal companion to have with you and is as brutal at combat as he is looking.

He will level with the player up to a maximum of level 60 and comes with a steel sword and a random number of other items. He will be wearing ordinary clothes when he is first encountered but I have put some ebony armour in his inventory which he'll wear when he's out with you. His primary skills are one handed and heavy armour so he's best with one handed swords. He will use a bow as well for long range combat however it does not show in his inventory - give him a good bow and he'll use that instead. He won't carry many items for you though as he refuses to be a pack mule!

His backstory is quite short - he's a mercenary who came to Skyrim via Morrowind in search of more lucrative work. He's also a member of the Thieves Guild but will work for anyone as long as the pay is good enough. He has a long hatred of Dark Elves due to his ancestors enslaved by the Elves and his father took part in the invasion of Morrowind.

Hope you enjoy this mod - I didn't make him too powerful as I felt it makes the game too easy however you can protect him with better armor and weapons plus enhancements. 

Installation:-

To install download manually & extract the contents into your skyrim data folder. I'm using texture and mesh override files instead of a .bsa archive due to problems reported by some users which may have been a mod conflict but I could not reproduce the issue. I need feedback on this - please comment. Thanks.

Updated for the SE version - it appears to work just fine with the .bsa file but I have included the original textures and mesh files in the download just in case. You will know if the mod is not working right as his skin will be green instead of red.

Known issues:-

1) There is a glitched wall in the Bee and Barb but does not cause any other problems.
2) If you have multiple community made followers you may get conflicts with behavior patterns and Ai issues. If this happens try removing some of your other followers or change the load order.

Changes:-

V2.00:-

1) Now will return to the Bee and Barb after a week when dismissed. Until then he will stay where you left him - I'd recommend leaving him inside an inn or your player home. If left outside in a city he may wander off into shops.

2) Now will find something to do if there's something in his vicinity e.g use the forge, alchemy lab etc. If left in an inn he'll interact with the other people around him, dance to music etc.

3) Will wear ordinary clothes around the house and in town. Wears whatever armour you give him when in combat as long as it is better than Ebony armour. He comes with Ebony as default.

Players who play as Elves may not like this character...
