[Discord Server] Aniya - A Custom Voiced Follower
Aniya - A Custom Voiced Follower is a companion/quest mod. Aniya, located in The Bannered Mare, is a charming Nord mage student who is morally gray opting to steal sometimes but never kill. She has various functions to use such as a relax function, outfit manager, player combat faction manager, Aniya map tracker, and more. She currently has one introduction quest exploring her initial background, however, there are many more quests planned such as the main story, romance, and side quests. With over 900 lines currently, Aniya has plenty of lines tailored to unique scenarios, many unexpected! Some may even trigger an optional task for you!
Aniya is planned to have way, way more content than you are currently seeing. She will have a Main story, a detailed romance quest/system, spell learning, combat tweaks, NPC encounters, follower relationships that grow, random scenes, misc tasks, 4000 + lines to be added and so much more! This is truly a HUGE project, one of which I am happy to journey on!
- A "relax/hang out here function": to help your roleplay needs to chill at a camp, town, inn whatever you want she'll chill out and you'll never lose her if you run off. Can be used when talking with Aniya in the let's talk section, or stopped in the first dialogue options.
- A "follow closer/farther function": to make Aniya change how closely she follows you so you can have space or no space between her and you. Can be changed upon talking with Aniya in the let's talk section.
- A "Aniya needs a sweetroll function": That does exactly what it sounds like, give Aniya a sweetroll if she ever asks for one and she will sometimes!
- A "Where Are You, Aniya function": Is a quest that helps track Aniya in the unlikely event that you lose her.
- A "Change Outfit function": Is a function where if you have a certain set of clothes, Aniya will take them and wear them. She will also wear outfits she already has and also allows you to give her anything to wear (a removing base outfit entirely to wear anything). Can be changed upon talking with Aniya in the let's talk section.
- A "change faction function": Not to be confused with vanilla factions, during the intro quest you choose between 4 factions, which if you choose to switch at a later date, can be changed upon talking with Aniya in the let's talk section.
