Gomezy3k Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 OK I bit the bullet and tried both the apprentice Assassin from the Assassin Guild, and the Mageling from the University as followers. And both promptly died at the first fight. They rushed in and got killed instead of standing back and either casting spells (the mage) or shooting arrows (Assassin). I gave up, used the cheat and resurrected them and sent them home to their respective starting points. They are just too much of a pain to deal with. If you could give them orders to stand back out of combat and fight that would be good. I can see a fighter rushing in, but mage and assassins should stand back and fight...(the assassin should do sneak attacks)... How the heck do you use them and keep them alive. My Character uses a bow and occasionally magic so he stands back and only fights hand to hand when cornered... Oh and that is another thing... the idiots rush in and I hit them when they are near the enemy. Not a good thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gomezy3k Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 get viconia, rhianna, and the cm partners (commandable) I tried them but every time I load them with the Mod Manager the game goes tilt and won't run... For that matter I cannot get most mods to run so only am using a few that work. Seems like I can only load OMODS. LOL I know just enought about computers to get myself in trouble so putting files in various places is kind of beyond me... If I cannot push a button and it gets done, I get lost...

I think there's an OMOD version of the indestructable Viconia -- check it out on Tesnexus ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gomezy3k Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 What the heck is a "Z7 file" I keep running across them and cannot do anything with them... have downloaded several OMODS since the files are Z7 they do not show up on my Mod Manager to load them... I tried saving as "All files" but still end up as Z7... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's free, and you can download 7-Zip from the following link; http://www.7-zip.org/ The 7z file you download from the nexus will actually contain one or more of the true files you need to install, but in a packed format. You therefore have to unpack them (using 7-Zip) before you can install them. It's an easy process. People do this because the package is a lot smaller than the loose unpacked files, so it's faster to upload to the nexus. Hope this helps ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be the result of a damaged disk, a failed downlaod or a virus. You may want to contact the author of this installer to obtain a new copy. It may be possible to skip this check using the /NCRC command line switch (NOT RECOMMENDED). I have tried several times to download it and get the same error every time. I am hesitant to end up with a screwed up program on my computer... Already have too many of them now LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netwit2008 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 It's nice to have the company sometimes, but overall I find companions a big pain in the arse. I spend more time trying to keep them alive, than doing the task at hand. If I have a companion, I want someone who is bigger and badder than me, lol I wish there was the capability to have like a roommate that you could interact with. Not servants or the Orc Mazoga (always leaving that one, lol). I remember taking one of the Knights of the Nine to my house in Anvil once. He was kinda cute too ;) Wouldn't it be fun to flirt and get a logical response from NPCs? Someone should do a housemate or "That's Amore" mod, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it is possible that the version you are downloading is corrupt in some way (though it seems unlikely). If the Sourceforge download doesn't work either, then you might have a computer problem.http://sourceforge.net/projects/sevenzip/ EDIT: I forgot to ask: are you using Vista or XP?
