About this mod
Hey guys, this time i am doing something a bit different. Instead of doing something to enhance a certain type of enemy this one is all about a certain type of ally. Namely the housecarls.
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
I thought it is just about time to do something about these guys. ( And ladies ). So i made some changes to each of themthat do not necessarely make them overpowered, or even much stronger but definitely more versatile in what they can equip without it being detrimental to their combat style.
Alright so here goes,
Except for Valdimar every housecarl has the 1 handed warrior combat class style. This means that they are less effective with 2 handed weapons and non-effective whatsoever with light armor. As for Valdimar himself, he is a spellsword. In my opinion that does not make sense, why? Because if someone has access to high level spells would they really settle for being a housecarl when they can do so many other things? I mean he could be one of the strongest mercenaries in the game with his skills so just no.
The changes i have made are as followed.
All housecarls are now of the civil war soldier class. They all level with you to level 65 instead of 50. Furthermore they all have a few perks, nothing overpowered though.
The perks they have are
- Agile defender 2
- Armsman 2
- Barbarian 2
- Juggernaut 2
- Overdraw 2
- Shieldwall 2
I have not changed any of their equipment whatsoever, but i made a few small changes to the civil war soldier class. I have made it the same way as in my other mod (Soldiers my way). And that means instead of 8 health to 7 stamina per level, 10 health to 5 stamina per level. And instead of heavy and light armor at a ratio of 1 to archery, block, one handed and 2 handed at a ratio of 2. Every melee oriented skill 2 to 2.
That also means that a level 50 housecarl has the next skills.
Health: 540 + offset of 50
Stamina: 295
Archery: 80
Block: 85
One handed: 85
Two handed: 90
Light armor: 86
Heavy armor: 81
That also means that you can now equip them in which ever armor you like and give them any kind of weapon you want without it being detrimental to their fighting style.
As far as i know it should not really conflict with anything as long as it is below certain mods. I found out it does conflict with free housecarls if this mod is placed above that one. But even ingame the changes will be applied if you place this one below the other one in midgame and then level up. (provided you are above the required level 10 for most housecarls of course).
EDIT: Hi there everyone, i made a few small edits to the housecarls and after some testing and tweaking i decided to upload it.
So here are the changes.
1) All housecarls are now females. (Yeah i know, i was bored. Also because my mod did not work to well with other housecarl mods)
2) I also changed Rayya's look a bit.
I don't have any images yet but i will post images of them when i have them. Feel free to post any images you want to yourself. The dependancies for this mod have not changed at all and the looks they have will mostly be dependant on the mods you run. Only nitpick i had was with 2 of the hearthfire housecarls with 2 silent voices when they say they go back to either the jarls longhouse or your manor. (Changed their voices to female as well and those voices did not have those particuler lines.)
As for the requirements, they are:
Skyrim
Update
Hearthfire
