SPOILERS to anyone who hasn't played through the mod
I've gotten to the point where Adielle is a vampire, so I've finished everything in Solstheim, I assume, and that quest ended properly. She has nothing new to say, ever, and neither does Bjorn. I can hire them and whatnot just fine, I can do all the standard follower stuff, but they don't really ever talk about anything anymore. Bjorn also NEVER interacts with any of the other followers. He also only ever had one radiant bandit quest and hasn't had any past that. I can't interact with Thruzar at all, and Thruzar's girlfriend is still in the basement. Barni doesn't have anything new to say about anything, either, but I can still interact with him. What's going on? Is there a console command or something to fix this?
Aww, thank you so much for getting that far! You’ve actually reached the end of the content. It’s many hours of gameplay, but it looks like you’ve seen it all ❤️ I’m always updating with new things, so just follow the page here!
Hi there, I've spent many hours playing with Kaidan and I'm giving Bjorn a go now, on XB. He's rather pleasant and it's all very exciting! ;-)
I just got him to follow me, and I've noticed he doesn't idle on relax, basically we take 'the break' and he stands in a place such as inside of a playerhome. I also use AFT for other followers, I wouldn't normally use it on a custom follower but just to test I put him into relax mode through the AFT power that gets applied to all active followers at the time, and he started idling very well, which makes me think it's him not the lack of navmesh or idles in the location - Is that something he could have in the future in his settings?
Also, the very last two updates on XB from you directly are bugged, on console they are both "0 bytes" with nothing to download, when in the final download screen. On the Bethesda.net the same mod by you is listed as 472.94MB. Not sure why that happens, but I have seen this issue before. Happy to provide a screenshot if you need. As a result I am using the latest version by Ofutonic that is also a bit misleading because when accessed through XB search on console that very mod shows up as 200MB plus, but when added through the Bethesda.net it's 472.29 MB, so in order to get the 472.29MB version I had to access it by "Download all Creations in my Library" which normally is as a trick used by console players to access mods that are marked as "Work in Progress", however to make it more confusing, this mod by Ofutonic is not marked as "Work in Progress", so not sure what is going on. Basically, we are having discrepancies between the Bjorn mods on the Bethnet and the Xbox console search, for you and Ofutonic.
* I thought to edit and ask these questions as well so it's all in one post: I've searched the comments now but I didn't find a conclusive confirmation if Bjorn could be used with AFT, MHIYH and 'my bed needs warming" sleeping animations? It'd be great if it could. With Kaidan I couldn't use some of the nemesis animation mods because it was corrupting Kaidan's animations. Does Bjorn add any new animations? Since Bjorn interacts with NPCs, would it be an issue if I used "All Male Housecarls" mod? Are his dialogs gender specific?
...I must say I kinda like the prospect of being able to use all these mods with Bjorn that I couldn't with Kaidan, even the Alternate Start was tricky with Kai so each playthrough I suffered through the intro...
I've noticed he does in normal houses like Lakeview Manor, but not in custom, I got the Leafrest. Saying that Kaidan and Inigo wonder in the same Leafrest, so the difference is with Bjorn. He does idle well in the Leafrest if I put him in the AFT relax mode, the issue is only though his own settings. Did you try any other custom homes as I only have the Leafrest? See, the reason I still use the Leafrest is because it has always had the best idling for followers, and I loved the vibe of returning home and having my NPCs party or hanging in the spa.
It has been a few days now, and I must say I am impressed with what you have achieved with Bjorn, I really didn't expect this follower mod to be that good. He seems to be alright with the AFT, I mean with Kaidan that wasn't even an option, the AFT couldn't add him to its management, but with Bjorn it seems to do it. Since my idling is way better with the AFT relax command, I kinda do a workaround, I tell him to take a break, then put him under the AFT relax command, but then I have to discharge him through the AFT in order to get the option through him to go - the only downside I keep paying him the 50 gold that he seems to lose very fast ;-D
When in Frostshade Mine, It took quite some time for Little Shadow to defeat those bandits, and then come rescue you.
Especially when I'm playing on legendary difficulty.
Maybe try lower the enemies' health? Like when you encounter Eisa Blackthorn in front of Frostmere Crypt (The Pale Lady quest). Those bandits who try to attack Eisa have super low health, to ensure Eisa gets a chance to survive and defeat them even on her own, even on higher difficulty. So then she can talk to player.
Also, after -- I mean AFTER -- you escape the prison and take back your stuffs, if you suddenly decide to revisit the prison cell (What? I just wanna talk to my fellow prisoners, see why they don't wanna get out), all your stuffs will be magically transferred to the prisoner belongings chest AGAIN, and you are forced to equip another set of pickaxe and prisoner trousers AGAIN. That's no fun.
Sorry, I can't replicate what you described in any way... the bandits and Little Shadow are balanced and there's no trigger or script that makes you return to the cell at a different stage... please try reloading the save or reopening the game, it seems to be an issue on your end.
if your on pc you can move barni to you with move command which would be prid 5b511ef5 then moveto player 5b511ef5 before you adopted him for some reason He had a attendance to wonder outside where he further from the home then normal i've found him outside whiterun near the entrance of the city walking toward riverwood.
No offense to the little dude, but can I dismiss barni? Maybe send him to an orphanage or something? Doesn't feel right bringing the kid along everywhere nor does leaving him alone at some house I may not ever return to.
Heh, but there's a whole quest just for that! 😂 You can send him to the orphanage, but if Grelod is still alive, you can't... so you can abandon him on the streets of Riften as a beggar. 😭 You can also adopt him like a good person and receive Danica’s blessing. There are different interactions if you're married to Bjorn, and I’ll be adding more over time ❤️
Oh, really? My bjorn quests have been stuck on the last step for cold dread for so long now. And no matter how much I talk to bjorn, I don't get any other quests.
I tried using console commands to advance it, and all it said was to wait for the next update.
if it makes you feel better about leaving barni at home leave him at home with lydia lol I had to afew times. Grantie she not the greatest baby sitter LOL by far but still it something lol.
I've started the Cold Dread quest on version 1.41.8 and Bjorn is stuck on heading to The Bannered Mare. He will stop to talk and interact when the PC is near, but otherwise, continues walking. All options for "let's go" do not fix this. Once at The Bannered Mare, he will not leave. Any suggestions?
Should I exclude this mod from Obody? Just making sure, since Obody requires any female adult NPCs to have zeroed sliders for their body AND outfit meshes to avoid deformation, and my understanding is this mod adds at least one such character.
hi I'm about to start a new playthrough with Bjorn and I'd like to know if there's an ETA when his content will be complete I love that you constantly update the mod, but I'd also like to know if he will ever be truly finished
Does Bjorn interact with the vanilla children at all? I'm absolutely loving him, and I'm wondering if there's any dialogue with adopted children, just because it would be so cute.
Either way, I love this mod. Thank you so much for creating an amazing Skyrim follower that actually seems to interact with the world around him.
Aww thank you so much! I'm really happy you're enjoying him 🥰❤️I haven't done that yet, there's still a lot left to do haha... I'll get to it eventually.
