Edeldios Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 (edited) Recently I tried the companion Cerwiden, and I really liked her Smart Heal AI, and the voice acting was excellent, and I liked that she was independent and wore what she wanted to. Unfortunately she broke my immersion to the point of needing to be uninstalled. Remember watching Sesame Street as a kid and that little game they had with the 4 squares that one of these things is not like the other? It was as if the author of the mod stubbornly refused to do his research on the established TES lore and made up his own, then tried to jam it into Skyrim like a square peg in a round hole. At first I shrugged it off since Nirn is a big place and she could be from anywhere, but then I got curious about the other continents and did my research only to learn that there was nowhere on Nirn she could have come from. Then I tried to accept that she was either a traveler from another plane or she was a crazy person sent by Shaogorath to drive me nuts! But the longer I used her the more it was like trying to walk around with sand in your swimsuit. Like I said, the AI Package she had was awesome, and the voice acting was really good. She just happened to have some highly lore-breaking dialogue and features, like: 1. Her tutorial book describing that she came from an "old kingdom" calling Skyrim a "young kingdom".2. Her obsession with drinks not found on Tamriel, like coffee and espresso.3. Her references to the Daedra as mythology even after we fought some and did quests for Daedric princes.4. Her calling on her lord to give her the strength to do his will like an annoying church member. My biggest complaint by far was the fact that this mod was tagged as lore-friendly when it was clearly not. Despite the irritation I still really want a Smart Healer in my game, especially since I use Deadly Dragons. I just want a Smart Healer done by someone that has done their research on TES lore so it doesn't break my game immersion.

reyzark Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 (edited) well, i suggested smartbluecat the author of inigo to make an argonian follower for his next project, i was inspired by this little guy here http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/24689/?, from what you told he can be more lore friendly than your previous follower, even though he dont have any custom line or voice acting.
