Follower Dialogue Expansion: Aela the Huntress 5.0

As of 5.0, Aela the Huntress will have 950 high-quality lines (996 if you count custom follower reaction), making her a super follower of her kind.

She now has a romance system, comments on many vanilla quests, different situations, the weather, and also provides more lore for werewolves and Hircine, deepening your roleplaying experience.

She also receives more character development topics that deepen her character. Is she simply the sharp and glory-bound huntress that she makes herself out to be, or is there more to the lone she-wolf?

The quests she reacts to are:

• Vanilla main quest

• Dawnguard main quest

• Dragonborn main quest

• Civil War

• The Forsworn Conspiracy

• No One Escapes Cidhna Mine

• Laid to Rest

• The Pale Lady

• A Daedra's Best Friend

• The Whispering Door

• Missing in Action

• The Mind of Madness

• Delayed Burial

• Azura: The Black Star

• A Night To Remember

• The Man Who Cried Wolf

• The Wolf Queen Awakened

• Repentance

• The Book of Love

• Frostflow Lighthouse

• Dark Ancestor

• Forgetting About Fjola

• Caught Red Handed

5.0 already includes 1.0 - 4.0, so you only need to download this file.

This mod is part of my series to renovate vanilla characters with additional depth and interaction, similar to the other Dialogue Expansion mods.

Features:

1. Expands Aela the Huntress with 950 immersive, lore-friendly lines, all voiced by high quality AI (see the video for reference)

2. Quest awareness for the Companions questline, vanilla main quest and DLC main quest

3. New story-driven interactions

4. New romantic lines if she is married

5. Location-awareness, including cities and dungeons

6. Completely lore-friendly, expanding rather than completely rewriting the character

This mod is 100% compatible with any mod, including dialogue expansion mods from other authors.

Safe to add mid-save.

There is a potential for future expansion with Aela, including optional synergy with the overarching Shezarrine Saga
