Shale can be recruited by either: - doing all of the mod's side quests and then taking on The Ravens' Lament, or - skipping all of the mod's quests (there are quizzes, pick the one that mentions Shale) when you talk to Katana for the very first time at the Winking Skeever.
First things first: I did not play the mod as of now. I just saw the trailers and also saw it in several videos and it looks awesome. Fantastic work.
I used to play Skyrim a long time ago (only the LE times) and never played on Special edition. I often had heavily modded playthroughs and still have a set up modlist. This mod here could really make me play the game once more.
But here is the problem. I have a really huge number of mods for LE but none for SSE right now. Is this mod here available on LE as well. I could not find it. Is it maybe planned to be backported in the near future? Is it allowed to backport it or maybe someone is already working on it? Is it even possible to backport it?
Would appreciate some answers. But nevertheless once more big thumbs up for the outstanding work here. I think easily in the top 3 follower mods I have seen on the platform here
Thanks to everyone who made this mod possible what an absolute delight!! anyway... I have a question/concern regarding her priority in audio lines.... Example: I grab meridia's beacon and in the middle of meridia yelling at me, Katana has a random comment about caves or something and it cuts meridia off.. Not a big deal so far, in fact im glad... Idk what incompatibility may be with other follower mods or audio priorities, but I later grab DaUmbra (another follower mod), and at some point i believe during a fight, something was supposed to be said, but the audio in-game crashed and completely went silent. Not a single sound. I'm assuming an issue in priorities and multiple audio lines caused an overload. Game played fine, just the audio crashing. If there is a way to edit the ini or something to change audio priority, could this be shared, please? I'm in the process of trial/error to recreate crash. Thank you!!
Hello! In order for any companion to be more silent when others are talking, specific actors would need to be added to packages (Ex: Meridia would need to be added in the list of conditions of a "quiet package"). Now, multiply that by... all the actors in Skyrim. That's a lot of work. ;) Unless someone invents a mod/framework that accurately fixes this known Skyrim matter, this is how it'll be for any companion. Believe it or not, this mod (and I think some other modded companions also) comes with said quiet packages, just not for Meridia and some others. For a demonstration of what I mean by quiet packages, feel free to go to the Companions' area and see if this mod's companions ever interrupt scenes. Anyway, I don't know what's causing your crash but I hope it all works out for you! Audio priority isn't ini-based. :)
Currently testing Katana. Is it normal for her to not talk much while traveling? Just asking in case it's another mod causing it. Most followers I have are pretty chatty, which I enjoy. Also her katana attacks are really slow for some reason, but that's probably caused by another mod I have.
The mod's companions generally won't talk as much as others if you're used to that. There are features in place to prevent too much chatter. The attacks being slow, that sounds like it's on your end, though. :)
Just chiming to say you did a spectacular job with Katana. Really liking running around with the gruff mercenary and it's a nice change of pace to not have everything out from word go. She's a fun badass to hang out with and I look forward to playing more.
Everything shown in your descriptions about them makes me very excited about going on an adventure with Megara and Shale once my new PC arrives, and I haven't been so excited about a follower since Kaidan, Inigo, Auri, and Lucien. About Megara, the 6th picture from left to right—if you don't mind sharing it, what mod makes her magic appear that way?
Hi there. Hope you enjoy the mod! Are you referring to one of the images that a user submitted? If so, I think the person that sent that screenshot was using one of those poser mods. Which one, I am uncertain. :)

New game needed if you had an older version of Katana. 3.0x to 3.0.5 is save-safe.
DO NOT use ReSaver to clean your 2.0.6 save to play the new update.
Outdated replacer and translation mods WILL cause issues.
Versions older than 3.0 will no longer be supported in the comments.
Think you caught a bug? Please address the possible issue(s) in the comments.
AN INTERVIEW WITH THE CAST OF THE MOD:
- doing all of the mod's side quests and then taking on The Ravens' Lament, or
- skipping all of the mod's quests (there are quizzes, pick the one that mentions Shale) when you talk to Katana for the very first time at the Winking Skeever.

Thanks for responding and especially for Katana! <3
The guy who is in Solitude won't start his scene with them, despite all prerequisite quests done. And I can't find the quest ID to progress
I have tried letting Katana go to do her bounty, and couldn't find her afterwards even with the Katana Feather, so i player.placeatme'd her
Any tips on what I can do to get past the solitude scene?
