Any good companion mods?

[McJiggy]

I want to try some mods that would add companions to join me on my adventures but everything I see on the nexus site is just stupid fanservice waifu crap. Does anyone know any good companion mods that is a real companion and not just a piece of eye candy?

Maskar's Oblivion Overhaul adds companions, and a whole lot more. If you don't want everything else, you could hypothetically disable everything else besides companions in the .INI file, but I haven't tried that.

You're in luck, my friend. There's a brand new fully voiced follower mod at nexus.
It has some minor bugs and all that because it literally released about a week ago, but it's still worth to check it out.

Vilja is a popular mod because she is fully voice acted by the mods author and has a tonne of features including her own character development system where her relationship with you develops over time. She levels up with you and is also marked as essential and her AI is very good so it's rare for her to glitch or get stuck somewhere. There's a useful Summon Vilja spell as well so you can summon her to you if you ever lose her which can happen a lot during big dungeon delving quests. Just never lose her or any companions in Oblivion realms because if they ever fall in to larva they are lost forever. Stick together and save progress a lot if you have companions in Obvlivion realms.

Gabrielle Renee is another good quality mod and she is as reliable as Vilja but I did have a few glitching problems with Gabrielle although not bad enough to stop using the mod. There is no voice acting and not much dialogue but she does her job as a good bodyguard. She was my first companion so we go way back.

The CM Partners mod and the addons provide a large number of different NPCs which are perfect for outfitting and placing in inns and taverns or for your castle mods but they are not suitable for serious dungeon delving because their AI isn't quite up to it. It can soon become more hasstle than it's worth.

I don't want to give too much away but there is a quest where you meet two brothers and at some point in the quest you have to lead them home. At that point they become two very strong, essential followers until the day you decide to release their services by taking them home. Along with Gabrielle they were my earliest followers and they got me through some very tough fights especially when Daedra were involved.

The Trade And Commerce mod adds a shop you can use to sell items and it also adds a store guard that you can instruct to follow you. If he leaves the store nothing happens anyway so that's another follower option.

I've started using summoned followers only so I can travel alone but have backup when I need it. The Wizards Tower plugin and a lot of mods provides some useful summons. The Midas Spells mod adds the most powerful followers I've seen but it also adds some very powerful enemies so you are looking for a challenge that is perfect.

Something else you can do to is to add a stack of summon spells to the inventory of your followers and when you encounter danger they will use the summon spell. This can also act as an early warning system for danger lurking nearby.

There are also mods that let you make anyone a follower which can be fun for a while but not practical for the serious quester.

Jo'Virr is also cute if you want an original-voice Khajit that makes you sweetrolls and tea.

I already have OOO so I don't know if I can use Maskar's at the same time, I also have the shop mod and midas and always used those summons as back up as well. I think I'll try the Vilja companion mod, I've been using the author's player home mods so I should try the companion mod as well.

Absolutely. Emma is a highly respected modder who has created some excellent mods and is known for making high quality work. I have a lot of her mods installed.

Glad to see you have Midas. Earning the spell books is hard work but rewarded with some very useful summon spells. By summoning the Angel and Golum I can stand back and let them take care of most enemies. Putting the boot in occasionally.

When I first did a playthrough with Midas I never knew about the other spellbooks because I couldn't figure out the astral crossword puzzle. I had to look it up online to get the passwords to activate the portal, my favorite were the walking turrets and iron golem, I also liked how that fortify beast spell worked on any conjured creature and not just animals which made them more deadly and even makes the centurion and carpet faster to ride on.

There is a "Companion Friendly Inns" mod by Emma as well that I'd recommend. It places extra beds/bedrolls in a lot of places, so your companion can sleep too.

I have one of the turrets stationed in the basement of Benirus Manor. Did you ever notice how powerful the Avalance spell is? It could make light work of even the Emero-El Priests who were immune to magic and almost impossible to kill.

The Kumiko Manor mod adds a large home and quest that results in a follower but I had a lot of problems with the quest not only in difficulty of working out the puzzels but it also glitched and I had to use the console to progress it. I ended up missing out on a large chunk of the quest just to get it marked as completed. The follower you gain is also not up to the same standard as Gabrielle and Vilja and I ended up sending her home to the manor where she hangs out 24/7.

The Cheydinhal Petshop is also a must have mod if you want animal company. Most are keep at home pets but some can make valuable followers.

Avalance was one of my favorite spells, another I liked was the death hand spell where you hit the spell anywhere or on someone and a bunch of skeleton hands pop out ripping and tearing anything and enemies that got caught in it were unable to move and eventually died.

Ruined Tail's Tale is a pretty great follower mod with a quest bundled in.

Does anyone remember or played a mod quest that centers around a woman that lives around aleswell. And aleswell is attacked and destroyed by a huge orc attack where she's knocked unconcious, you both fall in love with each other, and end the quest by fighting side by side with 2 small armies against each other where the orcs are eventually defeated. I think it was removed but can't remember the name since its been probably a decade since I played it.
