Here's a quirky question: Has anyone made a romance mod reminiscent of http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Ahnassi? I may be the only one who feels this way, but I honestly found her to be the perfect companion in Morrorwind. Why? Simple. She's nice, she seems fun, she has a quest which felt rewarding, and she just had that sort of charm. Plus she is a Khajiit. I play Khajiit most of the time. 'Nuff said.
However, if there is a companion for Oblivion that has the same sort of "Small town, big heart" feel, then please do let me know. Race is not fully relevant, though I'm not really fond of dark elves. Bad time in Morrorwind, to put it nicely. Plus there's this mage in Skingrad in that inn who keeps threatening to turn my bones into ash, who I might add is a Dark Elf.
