They're often kewl, but we all know that kewl usually doesn't make for good roleplay. Another issue is also the fact that many of the extra companions, available from various CM Partners expansion mods are unbalanced, having some unique and often very powerful abilities. The mod however is not RP oriented and the companions don't have much to say. If you're only looking for fighting companions, CM Partners is probably the best option available, with a nice basic package and numerous optional companions available for download from various other mods. I'm afraid I don't have much to propose Kulyok. I've got a full collection of Elder Scrolls games, and this is exactly the reason I need to play it: companions. Please, post here if/when you find something interesting. that and the fact that there's a Chain Mail bikini armor available through OOO.Īnyway, let me know if you think of something.

There's always Ruined Tail, arguably the best NPC mod available for Oblivion, but I would honestly prefer a human-looking female instead.

Now I know of CM Partners, but the standard NPCs are a little bland and I seem to remember that there's a few conflicts between this mod and the kind of install I'm using (a FCOM based extended-install). Whereas texture, equipment and housing mods are common, good companion mods are few and far between. While BG is defined by party dynamics and character interations, Oblivion is all about immersion. The things is, Baldur's Gate and Oblivion are two very different beasts. I won't bore you with the details of such an install, but since I'm pretty sure there's a few Oblivion players lurking around, I'll ask your help in finding the missing components: a good NPC mod. Now, since I can no longer play an unmodded game, I've spent the last two weeks reviewing, downloading and installing various mods and tools for this great game. With this new visual power at my disposal however, I decided to go back to an old favorite of mine: Oblivion, thus giving my BG CDs a much needed rest. Nothing fancy, just some extra RAM and a new vid card. A few weeks ago I had the rare pleasure of being able to update my computer.
