Looking for skyrim fully voiced follower mods!

Female:

Vilja

Cerwiden

 

Male:

Hoth

Atvir

Valfar

Odvar.

 

Sadly, despite there being more voiced males...there aren't any that have the same features as Vilja/Cerwiden (quest-aware, has their own personality, marriage-able, not old). Atvir was the most promising, but the author disappeared.

truly, atvir is a good one, hoth and valfar are cool but i am a strong supporter of the empire and i hear those guys are storm cloaks!!! lol...i will look into Odvar tho

Besides unprofessional sound engineering, which is to be expected -- professionals know how to compress mics and get the right gain on their preamps, but you can't really hold amateurs to that standard -- my pet custom follower peeve is they don't look vanilla enough. It's like having Imaginary Friend Mister Snuffleupagus hovering around inside your Beautiful Mind while you interact with the world as a schizophrenic trying to pretend how out-of-place your imaginary friend isn't.

 

Yes, it really weirds me out, but then I can use HiAlgoBoost without going cross-eyed so each of us has our own sensitivities I guess. It's not like I need everything to be perfect, it's just this one thing really bothers me. Intelligent companions with non-annoying dialog that fits the scenery and context would be really awesome, but the fit has to be right or it seems a little crazy.

 

"Get out of my head! You're not real!" <-- psychodrama

 

So are there any reasonably-presented followers who are more intelligent than the stock offerings?

So confused as to what you just said... too many sentences that went off topic or tryed going the long way around the maze instead of knocking down the walls and going straight through.

 

are you asking for Custom companions that seem to integrate into Skyrim? ( meaning they are lore friendly ) Who also have Lore friendly dialogue?

You did figure out pretty much what I was asking for, and I know I'm not the first to ask for a "lore-friendly" follower, but the look is important as well. Someone who talks with a perfect Norwegian accent recorded with expertly-engineered mic levels, is on a first-name basis with every Housecarl, could argue politics at the New Gnisis, and can by integrating with "Run for Your Lives" clear a town in 3 seconds flat yelling, "By the Gods! Dragon!" but looks like a Japanese cartoon character still doesn't fit. But you pretty much get the gist, yeah.

 

Sounding like I was going a little bit crazy was intentional; I'm sorry if you found it off-putting. There was a nugget of truth behind the clumsy humor; traveling Skyrim with Nirn's only Mori Girl is as annoying conceptually as stock ticker crawls on Word Walls or Pantea belting out Pantera. In-character it feels like having an outrageous-looking companion that no one notices but me makes me kind of scizo, like, "If she's real then why doesn't anyone but me notice how unusual she is?"

 

Vilja incidentally came pretty close to closing the deal, it's just the sound engineering was outside what I could tolerate, especially those times when the combat dialogue pegs the meter. The sound of a voice on an overdriven mic is so annoying to me it's almost painful. I do appreciate the effort, though.

 

I know I sound like a snob, but Bethesda did a good job with the look-and-feel of their own companions, so I'm not really a snob, just spoiled. (Not by the AI, though. Phooey!)

 

Hey while we're on the subject of combat dialogue, it doesn't need to sound intense 99% of the time. Anywhere north of Level 4 you've killed more battle-hardened enemies than a retired Roman Legionnaire. Your follower, by necessity as blooded as you, wouldn't hyperventilate at the first sign of trouble, at least not after the 12 dozenth deadly encounter. This would be a great time for her to give you a clue how she's doing; dialogue should be tied to her health level, as should its emotional intensity. Bethesda gets this really wrong; when Lydia gasps, "It's ... nothing!" like she's really dying you look at her health and she's barely touched, or she's on death's door yelling, "I'll kill you if I have to!" What a missed opportunity ...
