known issues:
Further testing needed to find right parameters for Spill Curse, so it is not too overpowered/underpowerded
Music outside of Inns makes it sometimes hard to hear Joy's music
If you attack her when she is following you and doesn't engage in combat, she sometimes bugs out and stays an enemy forever
Sometimes while playing random songs she gets stuck in a loop of constantly changing the song (entering and leaving dialogue seems to fix it most of the time)
Requesting a song while she is singing random songs might not work all the time properly and sometimes she doesn't continue to sing randomly after the request is done

- Further testing needed to find right parameters for Spill Curse, so it is not too overpowered/underpowerded
This Mod isn't done completely. Inventory and Spelllist as well as the placed Location of the Bard may be subject to change. The Dialogues may also change in the future (right now some vanilla dialogue is used, but most lines are not voiced. I can't promise that I will get it custom voiced). Also I'm new to modding and I'm basically teaching it to myself with this mod.
If you have any issues with this mod, or you have ideas for improvements, or you have a request for something to be added, feel free to contact me about it. Links to my Social Media can be found down below.
Be aware: The music in this mod was not created to be Skyrim bard music. The songs use sound effects and instruments that are not used in Skyrim.
Adds the Bard and Follower Joy Aileen located at Riverwood's Sleeping Giant Inn.
You can ask her to sing songs at the place she is currently located or let her follow you and sing everywhere you go. There are currently two different ways in which you can ask her to follow you: Either just like a vanilla follower, where she engages in combat or ask her to follow as a bard and only provide entertainment (no combat, just singing). If she is set to engage in combat, she will stop to sing as soon as she engages.
This Mod contains the Songs: The Last Dragonborn - Original Skyrim Song by Joy Aileen Black Wings - Original Skyrim Song by Joy Aileen Tale of Tongues - Skyrim Bard Song Cover by Joy Aileen The Dragonborn Comes - Skyrim Bard Song Cover by Joy Aileen Tosche Station - Cover by Joy Aileen (I know it's not a Skyrim Song)
