About NPCs in Oblivion

Post by Oblis »

I have created a casual party having in my teal the following npcs

Erthor the sorcerer from Mages Guild
Manglir the knight from Fighter guild

I have them follow me and do a few quests, clossing oblivion gates etc.

I have noticed that when their weapon ion broken they threw the old and equip a new one from the ground if possible.

It is an excelent idea and iq for a pc game

I tried to get them pick armor or shield but they do not react. Do you know if possible to do this?

As long as i examine them they do not...

Are there any other action they do during their company with the player?

An finnaly, do you remember who other npcs have the follow choise? Except Martin of course

(He is a very good companion and quite strong but the story cannot continues having him)

I except some answers...
Thanks :)

yes! it is possible, but it requires a helluva lot of AI scripting. the easy way to do it would be a 'scavange' command, but this is only avaible in Bethesda's 'new' version of the CS that was never released to the public. pity really seeing as you can package texture and mesh files into .bsa's throught it aswell. dammit bethesda!

Well... i have discovered a nice mod which allows the player to cast a couple of spells to make others follow and share their inventory...

So i collect the npcs who stay in abandoned places like Sceele, Dunen and Ethor (Mage Quild quests) and use them as my followers. To keep a small balance i use up to two of them in my travels. Only ethror dies while the others have the crown indicator and fall unconcious.

I do not remember the mod... i think it is called CompanionShareRecruit. If someone knows it if threre is an updated version with more options or an other better program.. PLZ SHARE YOUR KNOWLEDGE WITH ME :)

Abou the armor collect i just asked if it can be done with default scripts.

Thanks :)
