Version 1.1
- ==============
- Change Summary
- ==============
- Changes addressing reported bugs and other user complaints
- ==========================================================
- The book merchant has been moved from the Solitude Market into the Bards College. He's also been given a wider selection of normal books instead of being a spell merchant so he fits in better. (Fixes compatibility issues with mods modifying Solitude)
- Kaidan's summon spell now always places him behind the player and resets his AI. It is now also a configuation menu if the player is sneaking. Options allow buying Autumnwatch Lodge earlier, disabling Autumnwatch Lodge, disabling Kiai, disabling Myriah and her camp, reseting the romance (for those who accidentally talk to him while wearing an amulet), and placing an alternate dossier in the Northwatch Keep if the one in the Embassy isn't accessible. (New summon features should fix any AI glitches, menu options should provide compatibility and player choice addressing common complaints and suggestions)
- Kaidan is now less likely to run into the player from behind, can sleep in the player's beds, use the furniture in Candlehearth Hall, and won't get left behind in taverns because the bard was playing a song. He'll stay quiet and out of the way at High Hrothgar during the critical scenes. He'll follow more reliably and not get stuck in various AI glitches after combat. He can also now be commanded (via holding the Activate control) like other followers without confusing his AI. He also won't get distracted by corpses or other nearby events when following. (Addresses most complaints about his behavior)
- Kiai is faster, cowardly, and won't try to start combat. She'll also follow the player's current horse when Kaidan is following the player but stay in her current location when Kaidan isn't following. Kaidan will mount and dismount quickly with the player and Kiai or Kaidan will be teleported into the correct position so the Kiai summoning spell is no longer needed. (Addresses common complaints and fixes the stalking bug)
- Assign unique priorities to common dialogue topics so they don't shuffle randomly. (A few people noted that issue and I agree it was annoying.)
- Ask Kaidan to undress as many times per day as you like or ask him to rethink what he's wearing in public. (He can leave the house naked or in only his Worn Trousers and may not put his armor on even after you change locations a few times.)
- Rosalind's scene and combat are fixed so that Kaidan and the player are forced into position, she always summons two Flame Atronachs, and the combat music always stops. (Fixes frequently reported bugs)
- Improved child selection ensures that only only adopted children who are already nearby take part in scenes with Kaidan and that he isn't given a gift until after the wedding. Adopted children and only the children will sleep in their beds at Autumnwatch Lodge. (Fixes frequently reported bugs)
- The EndGreet dialogue sequence in the Abandoned Prison should be more robust now. (Some people reported trouble and it was because they canceled out of the EndGreet sequence early.)
- Changes based on my observations and preferences
- ================================================
- The Lusty Argonian Maid books don't teach One-Handed. (Changed mainly for mod compatiblity.)
- Kaidan won't automatically and instantly heal to 100% at the end of combat (but does still regenerate health normally) allowing a player with healing spells to actually "mend his scratches" and level up the healing skill.
- Partial unlinking of Kaidan's past and quests from the main quest. He'll comment on the first word wall scene he witnesses (instead of only the one at Bleak Falls during the particular quest stage). There's also an option to add a copy of the Dossier to Northwatch Keep in case the Embassy is inaccessible or the player wants to avoid it.
- Prevent certain dialogue responses where Kaidan references you as Dragonborn until after MQ104 (Dragon Rising) is completed. This limits his friendship and romance progress until you slay the first dragon, but you don't need to continue the main quest past that point to complete his personal quests.
- Location names are active for Myriah's and Kaidan's camps.
- Have Kaidan give priority to getting his armor back instead of commenting about the bow when the player has both.
- Ensure player knows where to find him when he is dismissed (duplicating EndGreet04 response into KDismiss topic)
- Various dialogue condition fixes and changes to make Kaidan seem more aware of his surroundings. Kaidan can now recognize true wilderness locations and when a location has been cleared. He'll be willing to camp in cleared locations and won't be willing to camp in towns or other habitated areas. Various errors in dialogue conditions for time, location, player race, player factions, etc. are fixed allowing players to hear some dialogue that was getting skipped.
- The soul gem fragment recipe has a better description and is only active during appropriate part of the quest.
- Kaidan's old wooden sword has his name when viewed from inventory (but without major changes to the mesh I can't fix the reversed version of this name on one side).
- There is also some basic mod cleanup for dirty edits and unused forms, mod compatibility, water record fixes (SSE versions only), and general consistency.

The Kaidan Follower Mod has been rebuilt completely from the ground up, and boasts a huge range of new features to explore. He's written to be an immersive companion or lover for your Dragonborn, reactive to quests and choices. Advancing your relationship with him is not dependant on any quests, instead, you are encouraged to interact with him and see your bond develop over time.
For a comprehensive walkthrough of quests and mechanics, please see the ReadMe in the Docs tab.
KAIDAN 2 now has an official Extended Edition
Additional EE Add-On Here
Starting Out:
On starting up you'll receive a quest prompting you to find Kaidan within the Abandoned Prison, and he can be made your follower once freed. (there is a vanilla bug with the Abandoned Prison that may lose track of followers when leaving, or place them across the river. This bug should be fixed with the Unofficial Skyrim patch, otherwise a fast travel, or waiting a moment on the road should fix the issue)
Kaidan's gear can be found in the Prisoner Belongings chest within the abandoned prison and is able to be upgraded.
Kaidan also has his own AI system and won't add to your follower count, however this may cause conflicts with follower mods. It's strongly suggested you create a save game before attempting to use functions on him such as Amazing Follower Tweaks, just in case you break his brain.
Keeping track of him is now easier than ever too; a single dialogue prompt will allow you to track him on the map, and early on you will receive a power to summon him to you in a relatively rp friendly manner.
Romance:
Moving your relationship forward no longer depends on triggering conversations in different places, instead, more dialogue and more of Kaidan's story will be unlocked over time.
To trigger Kaidan's romantic dialogue, put on an amulet of Mara and talk to him. Once this initial conversation is complete you don't need to continue wearing the amulet; the romantic questline will continue. However, be mindful of your choices when interacting with him - it could alter the progression of your relationship!
If you do not want to trigger kaidan's romantic questline, it's as simple as not speaking to him while wearing an amulet of Mara. He'll remain an immersive companion for you, minus the flirting and marriage proposals.
Appearance:
Kaidan has custom hair, brows, and eyes, though no alterations have been made to his body. This is in order to make him compatible and fitting with the aesthetics of the player-chosen body mods, and not add any unexpected nudity to the game. If you're interested in a body mod, have a look at "Better Males" by Chris57 and FavoredSoul.
