Berserker55 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 (edited) I'm looking for a mod that allows me to become one of my followers, making the current character a follower. As well as hopping back to the main char. Essentially I'd like to swap skills, inventory, equipment, spells..

ArtMurder Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I believe that idea has been tossed around, but has been pretty much shrugged off as impossible. If it is possible, it would take an INSANE amount of coding to store and rewrite and change your inventory and create a new NPC and remake the PC to look just like the NPC. See, as far as the game is concerned, there is the PC, then every NPC in the game, and they are separate, and should stay that way. You can't simply 'make' an NPC the PC, you have to rewrite the PC to look like the NPC, which is an extensive, glitchy, awkward task, which will most likely reset all your skills and attributes as well as screw up your face gen and possible just crash your game.... You can easily duplicate the PC and make them into a NPC however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was rather neat, especially...making them jump off cliffs. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually changing that character to become the PC, so that you get all of it's inventory, can change weapons/armors, and even talk to people is a good bit more complex. It may not be IMPOSSIBLE, but it would take a shitton of coding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
