Killerwolf1010 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) I don't know about you but I like keeping specific generic thralls for my Dead Thrall spell but they get lost extremely easily, like it's almost impossible to fast travel even once without losing one. I don't know why they get lost so much easier than a typical follower but it's really troublesome. I play a necromancer type character and use only thralls for protection so if I blow them to pieces with my spells, I can just revive them again. I actually finally just used a console command to teleport to one of my missing thralls after fast traveling to Whiterun and found her locked in the jail there, with a dead bandit behind her (Possibly an older thrall) :P It makes me wonder how many dead bodies I've sent to prison all over Skyrim. I've been waiting and hoping somebody would create a mod that keeps track of your thralls better so you don't have to replace them every 5 minutes but there still isn't one that I can find so I'm hoping some kind soul will help out. What I want from the mod: Main goal: Have summoned thralls follow you better when fast traveling and such, even waiting doesn't bring them to you sometimes like a lost follower. There could also be a summon spell to bring them to you maybe? Basically I want them to function like followers without chatty dialog and human personality. A way to see the status/location of your thralls via spells would be amazing as well for close and long range since they aren't going to go home if they get lost. I heard you can use sense undead to find their corpses if you lose them that way but it only works in close proximity. If there was a way to mark them so you could find their dead body after say a dragon fight, that'd be really helpful. Optional 2: Have other npcs not spam you with "Keep that spell away from me!" messages. This is just optional but it gets kind of annoying when it's all you hear around town. Maybe just have it happen less often? Optional 3: Store dead bodies to thrall later. This is again optional but I think this would be a really great addition. Maybe summon some coffins to store them in manually and you can unsummon the coffin, resummoning it when you need them then drag them out of it, or just have a spell that can "save" a corpse by banishing it that can resummon it later. Would make me feel more diabolically necromancery. Optional 4: Make their inventories work correctly, meaning you can take and remove all armor/weapons from them and they'll actually properly continue to use the best items on them like a normal follower instead of reverting back to their default items. The random loss of bodies would certainly need to be fixed for this to work well. I'm alright with this not being fixed, I think it's kind of interesting to be forced to use their default items but having the option to gear out your thrall would be cool sometimes too. It'd make using lower level thralls with graphics you may prefer more viable for fights. Optional 5: Make them stop running off to fight things I don't even see. Having them stick closer to me and only fight what I'm actually fighting would be great but that involves ai and could be tricky. What I don't want: 1: Overpowered functions. I just want Dead Thralls to work properly like followers and if possible add some Necromancer feel flare to it. I'm fine with the level restrictions and there are already a ton of mods to make the spell more OP. I love treating them like meat shields on my Necromancer and just blowing them to bits along with enemies if needbe :P Anybody interested in this or have more ideas?
