How does Vilja level up and how do her attributes improve, etc? I've been playing with her for a few hours and and none of her skills have increased.

She levels up with the player, so she will gain levels when you do. However, she is set to be two levels below you, so if you are starting out with a new character, it will take until you are level 4 before you can note any changes in Vilja's skills and attributes when you level up.

Okay thanks a lot. Do her attributes follow what she uses most, or are they set? By far the best companion I've played with btw, thanks far voicing all that text! Really makes the difference, lol.

Her attributes are based on her race and class, it levels in a 'generic' way per level. I.e. it doesn't matter if you always give her a blunt weapon, she will still level her sword skills etc.

Great to her that you like her :)

try leaving him behind for +72 game hours first.



Not sure how that went. It seems to be more stable but I've had one CTD on save as well a quick CTD after doing so.

Does it concequently make a different whether or not you have Wolfgang in tow? I mean, are the savings flawless when he is not around?

I'll get back on that.

He's been with my char until now, but I've parked him in the Frostcrag cellar now. Poor thing. :( I haven't had time to play w/o him yet, though.

No risk in this case. And I thought that was fixed in 2.2 anyway:

No more crashing when fast-traveling with helmets or whigs.


EDIT: Speaking of the trolls (as we say in Sweden), check out

Spoiler
OK, I've made 15 saves now w/o issues when not having Wolfgang in tow, so it seems to be connected to him. That said, after reinstalling 2.2 and waiting 72 hours it was more stable than before (when it CTDd a majority of the times I saved) - I had two CTDs on save of ten perhaps. But on the other hand I haven't had any CTDs on save during this game except with him in the same cell - so my vote goes for something being up with him. I think I'll let him guard Frostcrag for now.


Aww... that's sweet! :)


Spoiler
Perhaps something for an eventual futured update?

Arkngt, both CDCooley and I have tried to reproduce your problem, but haven't been able to so far. And I haven't heard anyone else reporting the same problem. I'm glad that there is a simple solution to it, even if the solution has its obvious sideeffects. We sort of know what triggers it now, but we don't understand why it happens. I know you switched Vilja's hair... did you restore the load order after this?

Yes, I'm sort of obsessed by keeping everything in check. I'll let it be for the time being as I'm tired of CTDs, but I'll try with him later on again. Perhaps the couple of CTDs I got after reinstall etc. were just random. It was much worse before that - and he had the wrong textures so something was obviously up with it then.

So, Vilja is a constant companion for my character, and I'm also traveling with Cleon, the Butcher of Armindale (from Simyaz's TotF). Cleon and I just got back from the Abyss, and he decided to initiate a convo with Vilja, greeting her with "hello".
Vilja responds, "I seriously believe that you need to take a bath", to which Cleon responds,
"I've heard others say the same"

I have a hard time trying to find a set of armor that I like for Vilja.
I just finished the main quest, and I have a lot of stuff left to do, like Fighter's, Mage, Thieves' Guild quests and a bunch of other side quests.
And I only barely poked my head into the Shivering Isles.

I was thinking of using the Construction Set to make a set of armor for her using various pieces of other armors, but I can't really find anything good.
I don't like anything terribly fancy, nor anything overly simple. It's tough finding something in the middle that I think fits my image of Vilja. :P

I'm using the TGND body, which I like, as it improves all equipable Vanilla armors/clothings, as well as adds a few new items (I am using a Rogue Leather set for myself, as I favor sneaking and marksmanship, but I've always used Vilja as a charge in melee character, so she would look silly in light leather like mine.)

http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/6467/flameatronachandtgndumb.jpg Not too big and bulky, so it wouldn't look awful on Vilja, though some heavy armors like Steel and Dwarven are still pretty large, pauldron-wise.

Right now, I've got her in a set of Perfect Amber Armor, which I hate, because it makes her look like some kind of turbo Power Ranger.

http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/8121/myparty.jpg This is a picture I took outside of Emma's Aleswell Cottage, which I use as my main home, currently. :P Temporary follower Mazoga the Orc in tow. Vilja's armor is so silly. (And I changed Vilja's hair and gave her eyelashes. But those're the only changes I made to an otherwise perfect follower ;))

So, what does everyone else have Vilja wearing?

As she's indicated that she thinks she looks fat in Heavy Armor, I went for Light and ended up with http://www.bluemelon.com/photo/18688/746621.jpg.

For clothing, http://www.bluemelon.com/photo/18688/746624.jpg.

For nighties, red HGEC Lingerie. No pic, but she's really cute in it. :)

We're both not very strong yet so for now it's safety over style. Big ugly orc armor. :P

As for clothing, currently a Red Velvet Outfit I think.

I wish could play Oblivion right now which I can't, anyway I would suggest that you have a look of the http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=33657 mod and the picture is awesome. :)

I saw that armor when it was first posted on the TGND comments... A bit flamboyant for my tastes. :P

Been trying to get a hold of Luchaire, too. Difficult when she rarely signs on Nexus and doesn't check her messages :P

I've given her Several of my best armors so far, she seems to be Quite parcel to the Amazon Queen's armor... :shrug:
I would think that a tad Rescay for your tastes though... :P

Lol, I'm a dork. And yes, it is. I've seen that armor while I was searching Nexus.
I don't think that sort of cloth suits her personality, unless she's drunk on mead. :]
