Really? Every NPC? I was thinking it boils down to 3 factions that need this feature: Guards, Soldiers, and Bandits.

... when not in combat unless wearing a "hooded" variety armor. So many overhauled and custom NPCs, only so many follower slots. Also, tired of sneaking up on sleeping guards who wear helmets. Surprised this isn't a thing yet, well, beyond the player and followers.

After doing the whole marriage thing in skyrim to find out dialogue is dead and just a re-hashing of old options, I hope someone makes a playa or pimp mod. To keep it lore friendly, some sort of agent of dibella where instead of doing +% damage to the opposite sex, it turns them into sex starved followers of unlimited numbers based on a simple persuation check. Nothing beats coming home to a hot tub full of hotties (also need hot tub mod plz). Each and every one of them would give you 100g per day. Have them work different corners or hang outside local barracks. I think the whole Idea can be summed up by Fly Guy.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=pgBeTu6TZi4 Further, pimp armor would be needed.... and if ever there was some this would be IT : http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=OQKKgNC5EpM

Is anyone working on a Mod that allows a follower to become a vampire or werewolf (outside of the Companions)? Or even a mod to tell if your companion has been infected with either virus before townsfolk rip them apart as the only method of discovery(lol)?

January, yes... but which one?

Twin souls conjuration perk = win. You have two pack mules who can carry unlimited junk forever. I tend to prefer Ancient Vampires for my dead thrall pack mules. They have a great mix of magic and will use destruction staves when out of magicka. They'll use conjuration staves at the beginning of a fight as well. Another alternative is a cryomancer. Stay CLEAR of pyromancers if you have a follower. You'll spend most of your game time killing/reanimation dead thralls every time the pyro's AoE spells irritate your follower(s) enough to begin trading blows. One good frost cloak ( or any elemental cloak ) kills both dead thralls at the same time. If you just want to kill one of your dead thralls summon something else to kill the first thrall reanimated. Also, I use the "house carl's room" in solitude as a potential thrall junkyard. Occasionally, for some weird reason, when you come home, they'll have respawned as alive and may or may not be aggressive and attack ( as the the Thalmor Gaurds did after the embassy mission when I brought back "souvieners" ). They respawned fully geared, but still packing extra stuff I left on them. You can keep a storage room full of corpses for an indefinate period of time as long as you reanimate your "storage corpses" once every 3 days or so. To permanently kill a "storage corpse", just use a lesser undead reanimation spell other than dead thrall. Once it dies, it becomes your "storage ashpile" and it seems ashpiles stick around for, well, haven't seen one dissappear yet. Also, if you are a stealth character, giving your thrall's staves and torches means they will always pull aggro first and start the fight. You'll have plenty of time to sneak around and gank preoccupied enemy npc's unnoticed. I do NOT know IF a follower can contract vampirism from this, but I do know even if you are a werewolf, you can if you get hit by some of your own thrall's wayward spells. On the funny side, your undead Ancient Vampire Dead Thrall's will suddenly become very articulate when casting restoration spells and (oh the irony) begin telling you "That spell looks dangerous, keep your distance" followed up by a few "UUUuuuuuuhhhhhhhh's".

Many sites hosted in the U.S. or catering to them are going dark for a few days in protest of PIPA and SOPA, House and Senate versions of a bill designed to force a layer of gov't regulation on the intarwebz. You might wanna wipe off the Skyrim induced gamer trance, find out exactly what its about, then go raise some hell about it. Remember, keep your muskets ready and your powder dry. Congress wants to screw you! What? You are surprised?
