Followers in the Soul Cairn


gooboo

Recommended Posts

Did a quick Google search on this and nothing came up, so I thought I'd ask here. Does anyone know how to make it so that your followers can follow you into the Soul Cairn? Is there something that needs to be checked/unchecked in an interior or cell to make it so that you followers will go with you, or is it a scripting thing?

 

Just thought I'd ask because going into the Soul Cairn only with Serana isn't as fascinating as it used to be, since I've done this quest a few times already. Companions always make things more fun.

I believe it has something to do with the navmesh, there's no path into (OR OUT OF) the cairn that a (normal) follower can use, so when they try to path to you they can't. Serana is scripted specifically to travel/teleport with you there, and you may find Vilja and other off-vanilla followers with a catch-up feature following you there as well.

The navmeshing shows a green triangle right at the door. That's typically what's denotes an NPC-usable teleport isn't it? I'm not saying you're wrong; just that don't know enough about nav-meshing to be sure of anything.

I could very well be wrong, I know less about navmeshing than I know about rocket science. It was something I read somewhere, and I may have even misunderstood it then... I do know that the follower teleports like the one provided by summon followers or aft's catch up on weapon draw should work to bring them to you wherever you are.

 

Another possibility exists that the "portal" could be "locked" somehow? if it's locked, followers can't use it even if the navmash says they can. I've had followers lock themselves in jail cells before (due to a relax mod usually) and they stay there until you find and rescue them, or summon them... but I don't know for sure what I'm talking about, just throwing out ideas.

It appears to be an auto-load door like caves entrances. It's not locked or owned, and there aren't any scripts directly on it (though it's initially disabled, so it's definitely linked to other things). Oh well.

I know I sometimes summon followers through the console. (I like to keep their RefIDs in my command history -- prid ########, where ######## is the follower's RefID number -- in case they end up somewhere where they'll take a long time to catch up to me.) But yeah, some places are made to deliberately exclude followers, like the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary in Falkreath. "Your follower cannot accompany you here."

 

Hmmm, I may have to try that Summon Followers mod sometime.
