Emma could you put in spoiler tags where you get the picture of the Hungry root thing?
Talked to several mage guild alchemists but to no avail..

You mean the little green marker?
I thought it would make this one a little too easy, so I left it out... :/ Maybe I shouldn't...

Spoiler:

Ok works perfectly, thanks

I wouldn't be surprised if somehow Bethesda has this still in it, and is a problem that is hard to iron out fully. Yeah, I've seen some very odd bugs, Like for instance even in my ps3 version(which has no support by bethesda at all) I remember standing on one of those ayleid iron doors that slide up, stood atop of it as it slid back up(they close when you go so far from them) when it closed, i was able to jump "blocks" around to backstab an unsuspecting vampire. A small glitch but still mildly troublesome.

This sounds like a great companion! Well, I'll have to try to it for myself!

Anyway, does Vilja automatically transported back along with the player to Tamriel after taking a Sigil Stone and close an Oblivion Gate? Not that I'm worry since the main quest in my game has finished long ago. Also, I have only just started but I notice two things which can be improved:

1. There is no icon for the first quest (searching for Vilja), you might add a vanilla Oblivion icon to make things look nicer.
2.

If she doesn't follow you, you can always summon her to you - you will get a Vilja summon spell as soon as she becomes your companion.



Sure . I didn't bother with this, as I noticed many, many mods don't use any quest-icons.




Well, this was an intentional design choice. I'm thinking that if you don't add her at the first meeting, you probably have other plans that will take some time. And then it might be helpful to listen to her explanation a second time when you return to her maybe a week later. (It's a slightly shorted down version you get the second time, btw).

Heh, the first time I played Oblivion, in Bruma, I somehow managed to get a guard stuck on my head! He was sitting there, or rather trying to run, but my head was buried inside him so he couldn't get anywhere at all

heh the fun never ends. I was thinking, if the bug with the enchanted armor and the health boost, and the attacks has something to do with it. I'm wondering if they healed during the fight with a regen or potions. Something has to trigger the bug and it seems to only affect companions.

I don't think it affects only companions.... I'm trying to read up as much as possible right now, and I just read this recommendation to a player:

http://grotto.moddersrealm.com/index.php?topic=11705.0

Then its a rare bug depending on mods it could be a damaged effect.. as I don't think any of us remember what we fought to cause it. Ayleid ruins could be undead, vampires, liches(i list them as their own class), wraith, and magi. the Altar does last I knew affect/effect(always confusing the two) party members... I kinda with there was a notice saying "so and so contracted x disease" Of course it would be a good habit to pray at an altar after each dungeon raid.

Hello! I've been playing with Vilja for a bit and so far it's been fun. Great work! I've encountered a bug I think, my apologies if this has been discussed already, but when I fast travel while we're both mounted, Vilja loads inside of my character in a strange way and I have to dismount to get her "out". When I dismount she sort of spawns to my side and everything seems fine after that. Thanks =]

only problem that MAY be there is the horse mod, though that is an amusing screenshot.

Hmm... this looks serious.
I think she has fallen in love with you and want to stay as close to you as possible

No, seriously, this is something that happened one of the persons that tested her, too...
AND it happened with the *same horse* as you are using. The one you get first.

He then bought himself a new horse, and the problem disappeared.

I had actually forgotten all about it, as it was sorted so early on and never any 'real problem'

I suspect this is a snag with this particular horse, and the problem could be repeated with all horseriding companions.

Hope this helps

Thorbin, I haven't heard how things worked out for you, but I'm wondering if http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?s=&showtopic=1065143&view=findpost&p=15480425 might be related both to the problem you had with Vilja and to the similar problem with your own PCCharacter?

I liked ur companion mods for Morrowind Emma, thanks for this one. I'm def trying this one out! :liplick:

If you liked my Morrowind companions, I hope and believe that you will like Vilja as well, Orfeo88.

Never ever should I tell a girl to shut up. And she's nice enough not to do so. Usually I'm an anchorite in Cyrodiil, but things have changed now...

Tack ska du ha, Emma :twirl:

You know, that's one of the features I never even got around to testing. Because, quite frankly, I never wanted her to stop talking. I thought her random comments were one of the very best parts of the mod. Like Emma mentioned previously, some of these comments happen at marvelously appropriate times. After awhile I began to keep an ear open for the next comment, just to see what she might say next. Overall, I found her comments to be as entertaining and certainly less predictably scripted than the party banter in Dragon Age: Origins.

"You really need to take a bath."

I love the accent too. Between her, Saerileth and Viconia it's very difficult to pay attention to anything else! :drool:

Vars?god, DWS!

Und ich w?nsche Ihnen auch ein gutes neuen Jahr.

I hope your lonely time in Cyrodiil will now be over, and that you will continue to enjoy Vilja's company!


Quote Pseron Wyrd




I guess that *is* a danger... I've had some incidents when I've been some busy listening to her that I have forgotten what is going on around us

I have not yet played DA, so I have so far no opinion on whether or not Vilja is as immersive as the DA companions. I got the game as Christmas present - but my son grabbed it before I could even try it out

I'll have to wait for him to finish it... He just gnarls at me when I try to retrieve it...

(There should appear many new comments by Vilja over time - there are many greetings and thoughts that won't show up until you know her well enough... Hopefully that should keep her interesting for some time)

Thank you . I'm truly so glad that people do like her accent (well, my accent... ), cause I was *very* nervous over uploading a companion who has my voice.

Yes, listening to a bunch of companions getting together can be quite amusing. I had an 'incident' the other day that involved your Stokker Wolf .
I had him, Vilja, Neeshka and a Partner in tow, and we were standing idle, Stokker Wolf, behind the girls. He exclaimed something like "I really like the view from back here". And Vilja instantly replied: "Why are you looking at me like that?". And I who thought he was refering to me! *giggle*




Quote Thecubanturtle




Yeah, that one is really insulting - especially if you have just swam over Lake Rumare and killed a bunch of slaughter fishes

Seriously, is this pure coincidence, scripted or AI? After I took some sweetrolls from the table, she said she would die for sweetrolls and if I would provide one. Another time in Bravil MG, storage area near the wine rack, she asked me for something to drink.

Well, the things that you describe happened out of pure coincidence - those dialoglines are simply random 100-based.

However, there are other things that are scripted, for instance during certain circumstances. These things are filtered for location, time of day etc, both in order to be realistic and in order not to happen too often. For instance it would be odd if she decided to when you are out in the wilderness.

I'm sorry that I didn't notice your screenies before, Sneeper!

Lovely

First time I've seen her in a helmet - she looks handsome in it
