LE Housecarls with more life

[Doidorotto]

We know that the most basic followers of the game (Lydia, Calder, Iona, etc.) are no more than backpacks. But I like them. Particularly, I like Lydia.

However, it is annoying to see that they have so little personality, so little life of its own.

My idea is to give more personality to them. To achieve a level of personality at least equal to the Serana.

Here, in Nexus, we see that followers are real lives almost (maybe one of them evolve and turn Skynet from The Terminator), like as Inigo, Vilja and the new and very funny Sofia.

The idea is not to get to this point. But they just had more speaking lines, more personal comments, a past (for example, when you marry Lydia someone from family Battle Born goes to Temple of Mara. And if Lydia was from the Battle Born family?).

Perhaps Argis the Bulwark, from Markath, had to choose between being a housecarl or spend all life in Cihda Mine. Perhaps Calder has been a Stormclock general who was injured and was forced to withdraw from combat.

The idea would be to join some voice actor doing mods and reset the voice of housecarls, thus creating more options dialogues, more interactions and more life to them.

Starting with only five haousecarls pattern and then expand to the Heartfire. Someone would like to do this mod?

Anyone like the idea? I'm willing to help create the stories for them.

Sorry from machine translation english.

I think this mod may do something sort of to the effect of what you are saying. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/52019/? It is called the "Follower Commentary Overhall"

 

I don't really know for sure if this is exactly what you want, or how exactly it works, but from what I've read it seems to be somewhat to the effect of what you are describing.

 

I don't believe that there are actual voice actors, but just voice files already in the game used for the followers, but it still is suppose to add more conversation with them or something. According to what I take from the description.

After I posted this topic I remembered that: "Someone will talk about the Followers Commentary Overhaul"

The FCO only handle lines that speak the same voice actor did for several characters and makes them followers repeat.

For example, if you have the Uthgerd and Aela as followers they are talking exactly the same thing.

My idea of ​​this mod is not that.

It give new life to housecarls, making them more immersive. Create stories, pasts, and their speeches.

I know I need some people who already make mods willing to tinker with new voice actors in it, but it would be very nice to have a Lydia is not just saying it will protect you with her life (she just f*#@ing hear you in the palace, as she now you want to protect sacrificing his own life?)

Would create more personality to them, not just random lines.

Good luck editing that in CK and adding 1000+ lines for each.. (like serana).

There are loads of tutorials on how to create mods, and adding dialogue is quite easy. If this gets fully developed, I'm willing to voice for it. Good luck.
