After installing mod, you must save the game, exit game, then load the save. Otherwise dialogue options will be missing.
Known Issues:
There will be a 3 to 5 second delay before the normal 500 hireling fee changes to the new price. This makes the mod very compatible with other mods that add hirelings.
Add 74 more interesting characters who are potential hirelings, will make mercenaries ask for more or less money for their services depending on their level, your and their race and how good you are at bartering (your speech skill.)
Here's what I'm doing with it if you want to give it a try:
Start a new game with Skyrim Unbound Reborn and turn OFF Dragonborn. Forget about the main quest, it's not your problem now. Make your character however you like, put in whatever thought you need into the backstory, and start. Now you're on a quest to go from a nobody to a respected leader, going around the land and picking up new heroes/soldiers/mercenaries/followers. You decide everything on your own and you don't need the game to tell you anything. Are you putting together...
- A mercenary company? An explorer's guild? An adventurers guild?
- An all-Khajiit/all-Argonian/all-Men/all-Mer coalition that only recruits/looks out for their own?
- A thieves/assassins guild of your own to compete with the actual Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood?
- A trading company? Weapons dealers? Smiths? Maybe start a farm with a farm player home mod?
- A rowdy gang of brigands/highwaymen/bandits/criminals? A gang of guys that fight criminals?
- An organization of better witch hunters to overtake those Stendarr dorks, or a gang of witches to take them out
- A paladin order? A band of hunters?
- An underground group of necromancers, or guild of righteous mages? You can be their cult leader, or their teacher.
- A big Fighter's Guild where we all train on practice dummies all day (with a mod that makes practice dummies work)?
The possibilities are endless. Acquire a suitable player home any way you like, whichever suits what kind of organization you've got in mind. Use NFF to set it up as a home base, now you've got an HQ you can bring these followers to. Set up shop and kick off your quest to lead the most influential group in Skyrim.
Synergizes well with:
- NFF, obviously for home base settings, follower behavior/equipment, and even making it so you have to pay them salaries, among everything else
- Custom player homes that would fit the theme of your group, best if you have to pay for them or earn them in a quest
- an economy mod to reduce gold income, so you've really got to get out there and work to expand your group.
- Whichever weapons and armor mods you like the best, more customization the better for uniforms/gear/etc for whatever theme you're going for
- RSP Guild Starter should work with 10 of your followers, if they're in an eligible home base. You can assign tasks and have them earn ranks.
- Missives, and Sidequests of Skyrim, or anything that gives you quests, your faction needs jobs to do
Anyway I think I've rambled too long. Fantastic work and thanks for making such an impact on our games!
Reason asking, jayserpa Dynamic Mercenary Fees made an update 2.0 to the fee mechanism but Reborn is apparently using the v1 version of jay's assets. I wonder if using the older version of LMF makes sense if one has jayserpa's v2 mod installed and wants his new fee mechanism applied on the LMF followers, as jayserpa says on his modpage FAQ "If they use Skyrim's hireling system, it (DMF 2.0) will work". I "fear" using LMF Reborn together with DMF 2.0 will result in having 2 merc fees system in the game which may or may not work, no idea.
So basically does the older LMF have the vanilla fixed price mercs system? I have not installed and tested anything right now, just wanted to understand the differences better beforehand. Thank you kindly for any additional info!
this was a brief foray into this type of mod. Not my bread and water. My specialization is encounter mods.
College of Winterhold Quest "Mira's Revenge":
Crendal Greenwing - Breton Illusion Mage/Bow at the Hall of Attainment
Huurweyn Brightstar - Bosmer Conjurer/Illusion Mage at the Hall of Attainment
Piradeeh Twice-Bitten - Argonian Spellsword at the Hall of Attainment
Idros Uvaram - Dunmer Lightning Mage at the Hall of Attainment
EDIT
The other two followers, flagged as quest obtainable in the old mod's description, can also be recruited as any other mercenary, no quest needed or triggering:
Grutak the Barbarian - Orc Battleaxe Warrior in Braidwood Inn (Kynesgrove) *QUEST*
Maya Erathal - Nord Warrior (Bow/Shield/Sword) in Winking Skeever (Solitude) *QUEST*
not yet an esl. After a couple weeks will make one. Waiting for reports that mod works.
Thanks !!
You can probably flag it as an esl with ssedit and get away with it, but would need testing,
I looked around one of the taverns in game and some of the followers/npcs added by this in the Bannered Mare were able to be interacted with normally as followers and nothing appeared off with them at a glance.
But I only had time to do a super quick glance in game so I honestly don't know if anything under the hood was messed up after running that ESLify script in xedit on the plugin or not, not without testing it more, but figured I'd put that out there in case others were curious about it, on the 'surface' it appears working, but I'm also no expert so please don't quote me on this lol.
Also @Tonycubed2, thanks for sharing this with us to use. I do love things like this that add a bit more to the game world with some added life.
Yeah, that "ESLify Everything" mod looks to have a LOT of promise (wow), but seems very complicated. Hopefully it gets simplified. I think the Ruddy88 ESLify one is a bit dated now.
Thanks for everything you have done for this game, tony!
However, ModpocalypseGaming is free to make an updated version if their goal is to maintain compatibility with this version.
You might be able to use Wrye Bash or equivalent to modify the Modpocalypse file's master file requirement, and you also might need to rename the folder structure.
This wouldn't be a supported solution, though.
I'm back, and aware of this project now. Very nice. I'll have to check it out.
Sorry for dropping out. Life and stuff.
