(FOLLOWER LIST AT THE BOTTOM)
These men and women are composed more of myth, rumor and speculation than hard fact. Most who tell their stories do so lightheartedly, believing them to be entertaining lies.
They are not. The actual events that the stories are based on are far more awe-inspiring and terrifying.
And now they have come to Skyrim. Most of them had never met or heard of each other before, but now they are united by one singular purpose: answering the call of the Last Dragonborn.
Now I know what you’re thinking: Peasant, why do I need gods as companions? Peasant, my followers already clean house with Skyrim’s enemies. Peasant, I don’t need overpowered followers breaking the game completely. Inigo one shots everything already.
All valid concerns. That's why they are adjustable
-The followers can easily be adjusted using the provided jewelry. (which are only useable by my followers. The enchants will not give stats to you or your other followers)
-Necklaces increase damage done by 10% in increments of 10 (up to 100% increased damage).
-Rings increase durability in increments of 100 armor, 100 health, and 10% magic resistance (all followers have the 30% magic resist perk by default, so the rings do not give more than 50% which brings them to the 80% cap).
-Followers have the 50% damage increase and the 4th durability ring on by default. You can easily swap these out by accessing their inventory.
--(The follower's health might not seem to be moving on taking damage. This is because the health from their rings do not show on their bar. They are taking damage. This is an engine bug and is present on other mods as well.)
-You can find the follower jewelry in a barrel (named "a confusing barrel") in The Bee and Barn (in Riften) basement.
-All level scaling is 1:1 and the followers have minimum levels of 30. They have level caps of "really high".
-Followers have a perk that increases damage done by 10% every five levels (starting after level 30) and capping at 90% increased damage at level 80.
CONTEXT:
I play with up-scaled Skyrim mods, as in I have mods that double or triple the amount of enemies in encounters, or install mods that add a ton of enemies on their own. I like taking on armies of enemies with only myself and a few followers. Vanilla followers and even many modded ones just can't keep up unless you're running with 10-20 of them at once.
Mods I use:
3x Enemy Spawn Scriptless
Skyrim at War
Organized Bandits of Skyrim
Simply Stronger Dragons
These followers aren’t meant to make things ‘balanced’. They’re supposed to make things epic. If you run into a 5 man bandit fort with one of these, they’ll clean it out in seconds and you won’t get to do anything. But if you use Organized Bandits of Skyrim or Skyrim at War or 3x Enemy spawns, then you’ll have companions truly worthy of fighting alongside the Dragonborn.
They do have limits, even if they are hard to push. I didn’t make them completely invulnerable. If you’re fighting a lot of truly dangerous enemies, then these guys can be downed. If a large group of enemies focuses them they will be chain-staggered to death.
I’m not sure how many people will like this mod, since I hear a lot of complaints about followers being too strong. I don’t really have that problem with the sheer amount of enemies I fight on my playthroughs.
[To keep your followers from just reviving constantly in fights I recommend getting NPC Knockout Overhaul. It is a GREAT mod.]
NOTES:
This is my first mod to be published, so please let me know if you encounter any issues. Please tell me what you like or don't like about the followers too!
They are all marked as essential. You can use a follower mod or xEdit to change that if you want.
I recommend using Custom Difficulty UI. It’s a great mod, but I balanced the followers around having the NPC dmg done at 2x and the NPC dmg taken at 2x. This does not exist in vanilla skyrim. I would seriously advise against using vanilla Legendary or Master, because it lowers the amount of damage ALL NPCs (including my followers) take. They’re basically unkillable on Legendary lol.
"LORE FRIENDLY" depends on who you ask. If you play like I do, then yes, they are lore friendly. If I'm charging into an army spewing fire out of my mouth and lightning out my ass then I want companions who can do the same.
YOU CAN use follower mods on them. They use the vanilla framework so it should be fine to use a multiple follower framework and the commands with them (I am not responsible if you break them). I use EFF and it works great. HOWEVER
DO NOT change their outfit, their spells, class, or their combat style. If you do, I have no idea how to fix them. There are custom spell effects, abilities, styles, and classes tailored for each follower.
The armor and weapons they use are just recolored versions of existing vanilla armors with changed stats and special enchantments. They are not visible or usable by the player. Their armor and enchants are kinda part of what makes them 'them' so be aware that taking away their armor will probably greatly reduce their damage and survivability.
You don't need to use all of the followers. If you like just one, then you can obviously just use that one. The others will remain at their respective locations until you ask for their help. I would recommend playing this way instead of having all five with you all the time (unless you’re fighting something absolutely bonkers).
I made this because I want to play with these characters, and I plan to keep making changes. I'll post the updates whenever I feel they are complete enough to send out.
COMPATIBILITY:
Compatible with everything I think. Mods that alter spells or effects will pretty much ignore them entirely because they use their own spells and effects that do not have vanilla ids.

Durability: 3/5
Crowd Control: 2/5
