Just got into the Creation kit a bit ago, and could use some advice. Want to make a companion/follower, but want to make that follower a quest giver as well. How do I do that? and if it is any help, she is a Vigilant of Stendarr.

There are many, many tutorials on utoob about making followers. If you want the follower to be a quest giver, first make the quest. I am guessing that you want to initiate the quest through dialogue i.e. follower says something to you - this case you'd use a forcegreet package or you initiate conversation with the follower about "something" and at some stage in the dialogue progression a stage is set in the quest that starts it.

Really need more info. on how you want your follower to be a quest giver.

This is really the first time I did this, so have no clue how I want to do anything at this point.

I guess I really just want to add a quest to a follower, and maybe some unique dialogue for it.
