LE Multiple Companion / small army

[Blackfire1]

With all the war mods, AI mods, and difficulty mods, I notice a gap in skyrim. The ability to bring more then one follower with you. I would love to bring two of the companion guild members plus a battle mage with me into battle.

A the moment you can have one(1) temp follower, one(1) perm follower(normal), one(1) summon. With midas mod and the ritual stone you can do a mass Resurrection basically giving you a small army. The latter being more fun then the former. There was an army mod in Fallout3 that was loads of fun. You could summon up to 5 npc's of different types including a tank. We already have our army, we just need to be able to bring them along.

 

Idea: Ability to bring along 1(default), 2, 3, or unlimited followers. Each being a different option of modification. Not effecting temp followers or summons.

 

Optional ideas:

-Ability to hire a town guard as a follower from cities you are thane to. Cost 500 gold.

(extra option)If they die you get a quest like objective to bring back a personal item on their person to the jarl of a city before getting another one for another 500 gold.

-General Command button for issue standard commands on target crosshair.

*unlock/lockpick if used on chest

*Attack target hostile enemy if used when weapons/spells are readied.

*Follow target NPC if used when weapons/spells are sheathed and NPC is not hostile.

*Go to Target location/follow me if used on ground.

*Search and Destroy, Followers scout up to 30 meters around player. Will not attack unless npc is hostile and/or companion takes damage from NPC. If follower go past 30 yards will run back to player and announce the finding of an enemy. Thus bringing back all other followers.

-Only one follower will talk at a time.

-Resurrection Stick - Staff that will drop all followers inventory on the ground and bring them back to life.

 

Personally I would love to do this myself. However I'm a 3d animator, scripting just isn't something I'm good at.

You could try the Multiple Followers Mod http://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1345602-wiprel-multiple-followers/page__p__20279769#entry20279769

 

It still has some minor issues, but overall I haven't encountered any game breaking bug after 2 days of playing. Have fun!

I hear UFO is a popular mod for this, although I use the Extensible Followers Framework myself. I intend to try out UFO along with SkyRe when I start my next character. Be warned, though; increasing the number of followers can quickly result in an unstoppable steamroller, regardless of vanilla difficulty setting, since difficulty settings don't change anything about NPC-NPC fighting. At Legendary, the Dovahkin can become a useless addendum to a party of 3-4 well-armed housecarls that have no trouble taking down otherwise impossible encounters.
