INIGO

..............................................................................................................................................

Meet Inigo. He’s a fully voiced adventuring companion with a few thousand lines of unique dialogue. You can not kill Inigo. He’ll level alongside you. He’ll avoid most traps. If you’re sneaking he won’t chatter. If you talk to him while sneaking he’ll whisper. He can run out of arrows. He’s highly skilled in archery, one-handed, and sneak. He has unique, random combat dialogue for most enemies. Your morality is his morality.

You’ll find Inigo in Riften’s jail. It’s in Mistveil Keep - to the right of the main door if you’re standing outside. He’ll be in the first cell on your left. You’ll need to be a bit sneaky and pick the lock to his cell. He’s carrying a copy of the jail key. Once he’s with you it may be a good idea to take the key from his inventory to save you re-picking the lock at a later date. When you first go to meet Inigo make sure you load your game from a save where you aren’t already in the jail.

If you ask Inigo about himself “Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?” his responses often contain clues about how to get the most out of him. Most of these responses are fixed facts about him, but some will change depending on… erm… other factors you unwittingly control. The “Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?” topic is only available in places of relative safety.

The “Any thoughts?” topic is always worth a gander. Inigo has his own opinions on a variety of environments and situations. Just don’t expect him to have a point of view on everything… he’s not a tour guide. There are places where the “Any thoughts?” topic runs deeper. For instance, if you’re both sitting in an inn he may comment on quests you’ve completed, etc. You’ll sometimes notice that after giving an answer, Inigo will close the topic window himself. This happens if he’s unsettled or doesn’t feel like talking… maybe you’re in a spooky crypt, or in a dragon’s lair. Whatever the case, at certain times you may get the impression that Inigo doesn’t want to talk… don’t take it personally.

Inigo has many things to say even if you don’t initiate a conversation. These are dependant on a huge range of factors including, weather, location, garb (or lack of it), items you may be carrying, health status, and so on. He will generally keep quiet if you are sneaking though. Immersion and all that… Speaking of immersion, you may hear Inigo say something completely out of place – i.e. he may comment on the rain when you’re deep underground or something similar. I’ve tried to eliminate this as much as possible but Skyrim’s a darn big place and the developers seem to have oddly tagged a few locations. An interior may be tagged as an exterior, a guild hall may be tagged as a shop and so on… I’ve fixed many of these but I’m sure a few slipped the net. Blame any madness on Inigo’s past drug addiction and move on.

If you’re both sitting in a player home or an Inn you can ask “How do you think I’m doing, Inigo?” He’ll then proceed to judge you. Sometimes the truth hurts. You have been warned. You can also say “Let’s talk.” This will start a conversation. It’s worth re-asking the same questions sometimes. Inigo has branching answers for certain topics that can lead to new conversations.

From time to time you’ll notice that Inigo’s subtitles don’t quite match what he’s saying. This is due to a character limit in the Creation Kit. I had to get creative.

Lastly, I’ve attempted to write Inigo with character consistency. If you hear him comment that he hates the walking dead, his reaction to being in a Drauger filled dungeon will (I hope) fit. If you hear him insult an enemy’s clothing, then strip the corpse and force him to wear the outfit he just mocked, he should occasionally, randomly, sometimes comment accordingly. You may glean ideas that lead to new responses just by listening to his likes and dislikes. Something to think about.
:o)

I hope you like him as much as he likes you.

Treat him well… or don’t.

NOTES

Now on the Nexus here - http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/40960/?

He keeps walking away while I sneak, I can't dismiss him/get him to follow, etc. What gives?

It sounds like you're using a multi-follower mod. Inigo seems to have a few issues with EFF and a lot of issues with UFO. INIGO V1.1b is now available under optional files on his Nexus page and fixes many of the issues people have been having. Thank Vamyan for working out the fix.

You can not marry Inigo. He is not interested. He loves you, but not in that way. (Also I have a quest idea that relies on him being single that I may want to build at some point)

People have been asking about the quality of the voice acting. Inigo was recorded at home but I worked hard at trying to clean it up as much as possible. The smartbluecat You Tube channel has been dormant for a while… if I get time maybe ill upload an Inigo trailer.

Too OP? If you think Inigo is too powerful change his weapons. His bow in particular is a heavy hitter. If you don’t want him to carry a torch, take it away or give him a shield to limit what he has in his hands.
