LE Servant Mod

[Emmindor]

Hi,

 

I know there is Undead Servants mod for LE but these are basically bound to the location the player is in. What I would like is when you become a Thane, you can ask your housecarl to fetch you things like alchemy ingredients, misc items like firewood or paper, a random enchanted item, or just a small amount of gold. The chance they bring the asked for item would depend on their total armor/weapon damage. Not sure what dependency to put for mage housecarls.

 

So you talk to Lydia for example, and there is a menu. 'I need something...' and the next submenus have you pick what item you want and how many. Then the housecarl will leave your immediate cell and dissapear from the game world, return after a RNG time between 1-3 days either with the requested items or with a piece of their armor/weapons missing, indicating failure. Regarding mod compatibility, I'd include a mod like Immersive Horses so that if your housecarl has a horse the delivery time is reduced by 50%.

 

Alternatively, a servant NPC could be 'hired' to work for the player. They would perform the same gathering tasks but additionaly sweep the house, and cook food. They would be paid 100 gold per week, which would be counted separately and deducted from the player's inventory either through dialogue or automatically when they enter the house.

 

Would be cool and would give housecarls more life than just being a glorified house pet, greatly improve immersion with servants, and not to mention it would help go around tedious misc quests of bring me X of this ingredient.

 

Sorry for the long post,

Here's an imaginary potato.
