Pretty much every male added by the mod primarily exists to think your PC is the hottest woman alive, to hit on you and make Bishop seethe with jealousy. Bishop is the only character available for romance, although your character can get lightly flirty with other men in the mod, including attending a fancy dress ball with one of them (one of the better parts of the mod when it's working). I tried this mod a couple of years ago, I guess, so some things may have changed in it in the meantime.įirst, the mod requires you to play as a female character only. Okay, I'll give an objective rundown first then my opinions at the end. I love me a good companion with a good quest line, but after doing this research, I'm really starting to rethink skyrim romance :/ If you guys think this isn't worth the download, what are some of your favorite voiced/interesting companions you've had? My main go-to's are Inigo, Lucien, Kaidan2, and Aurlyn Dawnstone. Has anyone played through it and can give me some insights? Is Bishop the only character you can actually romance? Has the mod been stable during your play through? It also seems like there is a custom voiced child NPC? I'd love to hear what some of you guys think. Then again there are some elements that seem really promising - many of the characters seem to know and have a history with each other, which to me feels super immersive and interesting. Upon my research into Skyrim Romance I've heard some pretty controversial things - copyright issues, "rapey" characters, among other things. Anyway, I got interesting NPCs because as much as I love Kaidan, using him with every play through starts to feel a little un-immersive. I haven't had Interesting NPCs for too long, so I can't exactly speak to my experience with that yet. Kaiden, in my opinion, is super well written and hilarious when he interacts with Lucien.
He only really starts 'coming on' to you if you choose to put on that Amulet of Mara and facilitate a romance. Kaidan has been amazing, mostly because of the clear difference between companionship and romance. I've been looking for good male follower/potential romance mods for a while and have mainly been using Kaidan and Interesting NPCs. I recently discovered that It's currently going through beta testing for SE so I decided to look into the mod a little further to see if it was really worth the download. So, I've had my eye on Skyrim Romance for a little while, but I play Special Edition, so unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) I've had to wait.
