Followers can talk to each other?

[Andy]

So I was in Breezehome and both Lydia and Eola were in there as well. They suddenly start having a scripted conversation and laugh at a joke that Eola says.

I've played this game for years and I never experienced this before! Are there other examples of this between follower characters? It really freaked me out at first because I thought the characters were developing sentience or something!

I also have a lot of mods, so it could be a small glitch where they are speaking dialogue lines meant for other characters, but I don't know. Anyone have any idea?

Depends on follower mods but they will also sing with each other as well. They also will comment on what the other follower is wearing.

'never had that, but fun...

Vixen from the Temptress mod seems to have a conversation that's fully voiced with the priestess and a priest in the temple of Kynareth in Whiterun.

I've never had 2 followers talking to each other and laughing at a joke. Only time I've seen that is follower mods.

I was going to suggest Follower Dialogue Overhaul but thats just for you and your follower i think.

Vilja will do the same I believe. A dialogue quest added by the follower mod its certainly not vanilla.

Let me guess, does the conversation go something like:

(if there's a male around): "Hello ladies, is there anything a big strong man can do for you this fine day?"
or
(if it's female NPC)
Even-toned voiced type NPC: "Oh hello, I'm glad I ran into you."


Sultry-voiced type NPC: "I don't know, but if you see any big strong men around, let me know."

*laughter from both female NPCs*

Yup that's the dialogue except there's no male character. So the conversation doesn't make much sense and sounds fragmented. So it is a minor glitch. Good to know!

No, seems like it's intended. The male dialogue line only comes into play when there's a certain male NPC around the same vicinity (Male Nord voicetype).
I've also noticed random conversations from other NPCs. You'd see it more often when using population mods.
Like where one NPC asks another:
"Good day"
then the male NPC replies:
"Bah, what's so good about it?"

[Zefram Cochrane]

Oh that, I've heard that dialogue quest way too often. Happens all the time between my missus and lydia. Its more than a little annoying and triggers even when theres no male around (not even my PC char)

I keep meaning to fire up the CK and fix or kill that quest...

At the end where he's supposed to say

Male voice: "Harpies, everyone of them."

Female voice: "Oh come, now, don't go away mad".

Vilja talks to almost everyone lol. Inigo is a trip also. They carry on quite a bit in my game. I also have Roderick Redbeard and he is a complete nut.

[Fast Johnny]

Lydia and the girl from Solstheim (whatever her name is) talk to each other on occasion during the Dragonborn quests, unmodded.

I've heard that conversation or something very like it too often in real life lol
