Today marks the 74th year since Chuck Norris decided to grace the earth with his presence, so I felt inspired to finish an easter egg I placed in the last version. I have decided to release it as an optional file, since it is incredibly overpowered and not many care to look for it.
In other news I have started thinking about the next batch of followers and can confirm Sean Connery. I actually finished his face, but then realized that Skyrim had no old man follower voices (or Scottish ones). So instead of the Marko Ramius/Henry Jones Sr. I wanted to do, I'm going for a much younger James Bond. I will not release this until I have at least 1 more person to accompany him, so as always, give me your thoughts!
Then you will love the new optional file. It is finishes an easter egg I hid somewhere. If you choose to download it, replace the old version. There is a hint in the mod description.
These are from Movies/TV. Several of them do have a woman with the crew but that is how the story went. For the moment I am just showing the good guys but if you want to find companions for evil characters their antagonists could be added.
----------------------------------------------------- League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (The) Allan Quatermain [Sean Connery] Captain Nemo [Naseeruddin Shah] Mina Harker [Peta Wilson] (I know she is not a man but she is part of the story) Dr. Rodney Skinner [Tony Curran] (The Invisible Man) Dorian Gray [Stuart Townsend] Tom Sawyer [Shane West] Dr. Henry Jekyll / Edward Hyde [Jason Flemyng]
This group has a lot of potential. Quatermain is a weapons expert. Nemo an adventurer and high tech (Dwemer items). Mina is a vampire. Skinner... Hell, he can go invisible. Dorian Gray regenerates. Tom Sawyer was how Samuel Clemens saw himself could have great dialog.
----------------------------------------------------- Van Helsing Dr. Abraham Van Helsing [Hugh Jackman] Anna Valerious [Kate Beckinsale] Velkan Valerious (the Wolfman) [Will Kemp] Carl (the Friar) [David Wenham] Frankenstein's Monster [Shuler Hensley] Dr. Victor Frankenstein [Samuel West] Igor [Kevin J. O'Connor] Mr. Hyde [Robbie Coltrane] Dr. Jekyll [Stephen Fisher]
There is a little overlap here with the above. These are great characters and would be easy to integrate.
----------------------------------------------------- In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale Camden Konreid [Jason Statham] (known as Farmer through a good part of the movie) Muriella [Leelee Sobieski] Merick [John Rhys-Davies] Norrick [Ron Perlman] Elora [Kristanna Loken] Bastian [Will Sanderson] King Konreid [Burt Reynolds] (Seeing Burt Reynolds in Skyrim would be cool)
This one is an easy fit
----------------------------------------------------- I'll let you guess what this one is (the characters are timeless so they could fit in Skyrim) James Tiberius Kirk [William Shatner/Chris Pine] Spock [Leonard Nimoy/Zach Quinto] (he looks like an elf but he is from much farther away than the Somerset Isles or Valenwood) Dr. Leonard McCoy [DeForest Kelley/Karl Urban] Montgomery Scott [James Doohan/Simon Pegg] Nyota Uhura [Nichelle Nichols/Zoe Saldana] Hikaru Sulu [George Takai/John Cho] Pavel Checkov [Walter Koenig/Anton Yelkin]
Wow, you gave me way more than I expected! That's great! I'll look over your list and see who might be the most doable. Sean Connery sticks out, and I can't do him without Burt Reynolds (thanks to Celebrity Jeopardy) We'll see where this leads.
You have a point. I do not think that a randomly chosen name would be appropriate though. I will look through the actors' roles, keeping lore in mind, to see if something fits better. Andre the Giant was french, in-game he is a breton, so I think his works, but everyone else will get a good name.
I could try, but there are already several mods which do that. I wanted to add people that were not already available on the nexus, but you have a point. He would be the perfect addition to this collection. EDIT: I looked up Chuck Norris mods and the best quality I found was this one http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/33962/? but the problem is that it is a game save, not a follower mod. I may have to amend that, but I have some studying to do now.
That's great! I look forward to seeing him in action. He should be able to load and fire an ebony bow with one hand. That would be so Chuck. Downloading !
Check the mod images. Its not functional yet. It may take some time before I can decide the best way to implement him. I am afraid to do this wrong. He will know.
Love the concept. Immediate DL. However, for some reason it caused my game to CTD. Removed the esp and game launched again. Was wondering if anyone else had experienced this?
I mentioned the lack of male followers a long time ago and was ignored. I'm glad people are listening to you at least. How interesting not to be influenced by our "stand up" guy for once huh lol jk. Good job man!
I like the idea because I agree that there are far too many female mods and followers but these men could use some facelifts and embellishing. I know they're supposed to be adaptations of fictional character but they just look kinda bland. I'll definitely come back if/when you update this because once again, I like the idea of more men mods.
Thank you for your interest. I am committed to making this mod the best I can. I agree that they do not yet look their best. I base each character on images of the actor that plays them. The easiest way to do this is by making them in the creation kit with a google images page adjacent to it. Unfortunately the CK tends to distort faces and does not always translate to the game well. This is only the first version, and it will not be the last.
