DODOS

Dodo in Wikipedia

MOUNT

This mod adds a Mount near the Whiterun stables (with nests and feathers)

ARMY

This mod adds the ability to quickly incubate eggs of Dodos with the fire of the forge, and quickly create a horde of Dodos chicks (5, 15, 50, 100 ...MORE ?...ATTENTION with the freezes in your computer !) that are following you as if you were their mother !

To obtain these Dodos eggs, simply bring any “Dodo Egg ” (found with some Merchants in Whiterun : Arcadia of Arcadia’s Cauldron, Anoriath, Hulda of the Bannered Mare) to a forge and create the "Incubated Dodo Egg" in the "misc" section. Now open up your inventory, navigate to "Scrolls" and there they are. You throw them and when they hit the ground they hatch into Dodo chick. The Dodo chick follow you.

When your creatures die, remember to loot their corpses for more eggs

Bugs or Problems



For the armies of Dodos, Owls or Penguins:

When the Dodo/Penguin/Owl is in battle, it approaches the enemy and just stand their and lets itself be attacked and it doesn't fight back (there is no animation in the game to fight)


For the mount:

The Dodo can’t jump, fly or swim…

To turn easily,it is better to walk ! ...

If you dismount in the water, it is possible to swim in the air !! Solution: MOUNT AGAIN or SPACEBAR


For the companions:

You can only have one follower at a time: if you want a different one, you need to dismiss the first one before you recruit them.

If you have any problem with the dialog box, or if telling the follower to return at home doesn't dismiss him, or if you have lost the active follower, you can try this:

Type “²” key to get into console, and type:

set playeranimalcount to 0

You can also enter / exit a house or make a fast travel
