Essential Follower Mods for Skyrim

A collection of my very favorite companion and follower mods for Skyrim. A handful of these also work for the special edition. This is a very specific and opinion based list of mods.

"If we get to the end of the dungeon and Delphine has swap the Elder Scroll with a note, I am going to hurt her" *Inigo The Brave 2018*

[deepblume]

Nazeem as a Follower?! - OHH BOETHIA I GOT SOMEONE FOR YOU!! >: )

[monkeyd]

“So, Delphine is a blade? She doesn’t seem so sharp to me” - inigo the brave

[thelonelylump]

Inigo scared away Nazeem that’s good enough for me.

Anyone who can mess with Nazeem is good in my book.

[agentfrost]

most important mod: DON'T STAND IN FRONT OF THE FUCKIN DOOR ENTRANCE mod.

[Mr_Maiq_The_Liar]

Inigo actually has more dialogue than any other mod on the nexus. He even has some for situations that are actually impossible to get him in without consoles or cheat mods.
Like if hes invisible. Flying. In the cell that dead bodies go to. In sheogorath's realm.
Why did you bother voicing this?

If you use Inigo with another follower mod called Vilja, they will actually interact with one another. The Vilja mod itself is the marmite of follower mods: you either love it or hate it.

[Dobbinator]

you did a good job explaining the mods like Aft, most youtubers will just list it and just assume that you know what it does

[cramoslo]

Finally a Mod Reviewer that doesn't focuses on sex and boobies mods *cough* *MxRmods* *cough* or somone that speaks like a pre-puberty 12 years old kid, you have Weekly Mods' charisma and Brodual's organisation.
Like and new sub

What’s cool about Inigo is that he will actually talk to your other followers or random NPC’s.

[James--Parker]

Interesting NPC's has the best followers in my option. They feel more like people who are actually from Tamriel, and less like your friends commentary on the game.

[mr.monzoni]

you know me fall asleep watching skyrim mods then wake up to 12:21 i fucking thought i had some demons coming for me

[RaisedFlipper]

Gotta say, I prefer EFF to AFT and Immersive Horses over Convenient Horses.

[dylanrader]

Ha! I laughed when I heard the Witcher 3 music, something about it being over a Skyrim video is funny. Love your mod vids; you have good organisation and a great charisma without being too much.

[Chargedolt]

If you take Inigo during the Peryite quest he actually gets sick and asks to go to a temple, until you do he keeps coughing

[itsclemtime]

I hope Inigo gets dialogue compatibility for Dawnguard with V3, I bet he’d love to see Auriel’s Bow.

[KennethLyVideography]

Interesting NPCs super followers are the best followers imo. Better then all others. The key feature about them is how they have frequent conversations related to the quests you are doing. Not just an off hand comment but full dialogue interactions and if they are comments it's fairly long ones. It really makes it feel like they are people on an adventure with you. Combined with the fact that they have a bunch of quests that intertwine with each other, it just makes them even more interesting to have with you.

Great video, as always. Congratulations for the hard work you put into this.
Good to see original followers like Arissa put into the light they deserve. Just a little thing, Arissa's quest has trouble triggering if you have a mod that affects patrols & guards spawns and AI. Something about her introduction scene using vanilla guards assets. Make sure to disable these before you hire her, these mods are usually script free, so disabling them for a moment won't leave any orphan script or corrupt your save.

I'd also suggest "Acalypha" though. While she may use a pretty standard follower system (with the possibility of tweaking how strong her magic is though, which is a useful touch), I think she is interesting in terms of atmosphere, if you're looking for a more dark fantasy feeling (I basically pick mods that help me turn Skyrim into a more Nosgoth, Legacy of Kain atmosphere, but it's a matter of taste and nostalgia, really). Aurlyn Dawnstone is also brillantly written, a 1 gig follower with tons of interesting things to say.

Some years in the past, I played Skyrim with Vilja added. She was very fun to be with, with a quite extensive own quest line and tons of environment awareness. It makes Skyrim nearly another game to some degree, as her story is well fleshed out. Though, it has worn of a bit for me, when meeting her in a third play-through. Though, it is fun to have her around after some time with others to hang out...

One fun thing, though: Vilja and Inigo interact quite a lot with each other, if you have around both. It is fun having them talking - and cat-fighting ;-P

Koubitz, great video I love AFT but AFT is getting buggier in its old age, Immersive Follower Tweaks is the successor to it. Hope you look in to it!
