Companion Vilja

The young nord alchemist Vilja has her own mission in Cyrodiil - but she needs your help! Will you let her tag along? Will you let your Cyrodiil life be changed by a talkative, curious and unpredictable girl who might be a nuisance at times, but who also will offer a strong, indepth friendship.

From the author of The Witch girl for Morrowind, thank you for sharing this Emma. I remember your collaboration/continuation with Grumpy's work well - For me it doesn't need any endorsements, downloading now.

Situated close to Apachii Goddess store too, nice.

Edit: Emma's site for those who may not have seen it before..

A new companion is always welcomed, especialy one that comes with a quest. Thanks again Emma and keep up the good work!



Cheers,
Pushkatu!

Anxiously waiting for it to finish downloading so I can try it out!

[Emma]

Thank you for the feedback

And many thanks for the link, alt3rn1ty - I should have thought of adding a link, but didn't. Have added one to the mainpost now, though.

I'm so glad that you like her, Pushkatu and Sailor54 Hope you will continue to do so!

Also hope that the download worked out well for you, Sugimali.

Great mod, love the voice acting. No issues. Thanks.

Glad that you don't find my crappy sveeedish-english annoying - that has been my biggest worry with this mod

[alt3rn1ty]

Just trying to add my endorsement, I think because I regularly clean out history and cookies the site is refusing (First refusal yesterday said I had not downloaded, so re-downloaded and then it says you cant endorse until after 15 minutes of downloading, today I have re-downloaded, waited fifteen minutes while browsing in other tabs then tried to endorse - refused again because now I am supposed to wait three hours to prove I have had time to play the mod <drums fingers>)

@Moderators - The above situation is pants, many people are aware of a multitude of privacy concerns online these days and clearing out history/cookies is becoming the norm while browsing, using Internet Explorer in its new InPrivate mode for instance - which means many mods will go un-endorsed.

Anyway off topic

@Emma

This companion mod is superb, as I expected it would be coming from yourself.

It has given me more reason to venture into the wilderness again, nice idea.

Your voice over work particularly is very good, even though you dont think your english is very good you have done a wonderful job here considering it is not your native tongue, and actually your accent adds an endearing quality to the character.

I saw something a few days ago you may want to look at (this is not a suggestion to change Vilja - I just thought you would be interested too if you have not seen it)....

Lovely companion, great dialogue, and wonderful job! Well done Emma!

Would like to add something else I have noticed: She's seems to be highly resistant to the double-face bug that ALL other companions seem to get frequently. I am unsure what the difference is, as Neeshka gets it every 5 minutes.

I have player with her in my game for quite a few hours now and she is such a blast! Although, I must say, I have never found her as weak. She seems to kick butt as much as any of the others, preferring her Saint Longbow to melee combat. Hope you like the pics I uploaded.

Thank you ever so much

I'm truly so glad that you like her - I've spent the last five months working on her, trying to pour life and heart and soul - and voice - into her, and if you feel she is 'real', then that's the best reward I could ever wish for

................

Eamico, Oblivion companions are all a bit vulnerable, as the enemies tend to go for them rather than for the players. That is why I have enclosed two esp-files - the one called ESSENTIAL means that she cannot die; she will just be unconscious for a while and then wake up again.

...............

Thank you for the link, alt3rn1ty - I have checked it out. It looks interesting, although it seems to require OBSE. I haven't used that yet - I felt I was new to Oblivoin modding and didn't want to start out with expansion programs until I 'knew what I was doing'. I'm not sure I fully know that yet
Some of the features there, Vilja already has. For instance, she heals herself, and you can tell her how to fight, what kind of weapons to use and if she should be aggressive or defensive - or even pacifist. Other features might be well worth looking into for later updates. This is my first Oblivion companion, hopefully she can be improved over time; I will most likely continue to tinker on her.

CdCooley!!!!!!!!!

Is that really, really you?

I'm so happy to see you here, I've been browsing through every smiley available to find something suitable. The best I can come up with is this combination:

You are playing Oblivion then? Yes, you must be... if you hadn't played Vilja you wouldn't have been able to tell me of how I mispronounced the holy name of his highness Vivec (And I am sure you are right... the Ordinators will probably arrest me on sight the next time I enter Foreign Quarter )

I hope you will continue to like Vilja, and even if she does remind you of Constance, I can promise you something: she will never dump 100 kwama eggs on your and leave you to face the angry Hlaalu guards

Should you have any suggestions on how to improve her (I fondly remember previous conversations on Morrowind companions and your invaluable help with the last version of White Wolf of Lokken) I'm sure you know that I would be all ears

[Emma]

Thank you for the kind words

I hope she will continue to be amusing for a long time to come. There will be more dialog to her as time passes and you get to know her better.

Phitt, I also love Neeshka to bits and always use her - it was she who inspired me to start out on Vilja. But, although Vilja normally chats with other npcs and companions when she is in wander-mode (apart from some companions with unique voices who often don't have conversations files), there is a part in Neeshka's AIpackage for wander that currently prevents her from smalltalking with Vilja until +72 game hours have passed.

Is that child part of the mod? I've been looking for mods that add children for more realism and there are hardly any. Also, love that you added voice acting downloading now.
