Newbie question: Turn an NPC into a follower

Post » Mon May 27, 2013 5:07 pm

So, I want to turn a random Bosmer hunter into a follower. I suppose I have two options:

1.Use the existing hunter and add him to a potential follower faction.

-How do I do this? He should also be in the potential marriage faction, just in case.

-How do I ensure that I actually can find this hunter again at a given location? Say an inn.

-Also, he would need a name, not only be called "Hunter" if I do this.

-Anything else I should change regarding behavior, dialogue and such?

2. Download a modded Bosmer follower (or use an existing follower in the game, but the only one I can think of who's Bosmer is Faendal, and I don't want to use him for this) and import the hunter's face to overwrite the original face of that follower.

- How do I do this? I actually already tried (using http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/19486//?), but apparently I used the wrong command when I saved what I thought was his face, because when I imported that file, I ended up with the face of my (female Breton) PC! :facepalm:

Please help! Other suggestions are of course welcome as well. :)

You trying to make a mod you'd release, or you just want a follower? Cause if you just want a follower for your own personal needs you can find any wood elf out there you fancy (if there is one), open the console, click on him and type in addtofaction , where faction ID for the follower faction is 0005C84D and for marriage faction it is 00019809. Faction rank is not important, you can just type 0 there.

If it's a mod, sadly, I can't help you, sorry.

It's just for my personal game, so this should do, thank you! (Didn't know it was that easy...)

Let's just hope that he still is where I found him...
