About This File
What will you do with 100s of followers available to download, while only 2 or 3 can follow you? I created this mod as an idea to resolve this issue. At the beginning of the game or whenever you install the mod, it gives you an MCM option to scan inns and other common places where followers hang out and restrain them into captivity at enemy forts, caves, and dungeons. It is up to you to find and free them, but it won't be easy since you might be alone now and you don't know where they are. If you manage to infiltrate an enemy fort, when you walk up to a restrained follower you can just activate them or hit them and they will follow you outside. Once outside they will just become a regular follower as if they were never held captive.
What's New in Version 2.5:
A new game is not required if upgrading from 2.0 or later. Don't forget to backup your config file if upgrading.
-
added 3 more captive locations from the base game: Chillwind Depths, Bruca's Leap Redoubt and Ustengrav
-
rearranged a few locations so they don't conflict with Daedric Shrines mod on Nexus
Description:
The mod features two core parts:
1. followers are restrained and held captive in forts, caves, and dungeons. There are over 50 locations where they could be. See spoiler for details.
2. new enemies are spawned to guard them in and around forts, levelled and unlevelled. No new enemies are spawned in dungeons or caves.
Currently this mod doesn't have a quest or any followers. It gives you an option to scan for followers you have downloaded from other mods.
The mod by itself places captive furniture in various Skyrim locations and doesn't do anything else until you start the mod script in the MCM.
When it starts running you will see a message "Restraining followers...". It takes 3-5 minutes for the script to run, but you can just start playing without waiting. I recommend you stay away from inns and towns during that time so the script can restrain the followers while you are not there. By default, all followers except those blacklisted in the config, are restrained. If you don't want certain followers restrained you can edit the config file located in Data\SKSE\Plugins\CaptiveFollowers\Config.json and add the follower's mod name to the BlacklistedMods list, so that followers from that mod will not be restrained.
Not all followers are restrained. Here are the rules for restraining a follower:
- not a follower included in the base game, such as Aela the Huntress or Mjoll the Lioness
- not a follower from the Buxom Wench Yuriana mod
- not a child or animal, must be NPC
- not close to you or following you at the time the script runs
- not a follower that is already enslaved by bandits in caves or bandit camps, follower must be initially located in friendly location, such as a town or an inn
- not a follower from a blacklisted mod defined in a Data\SKSE\Plugins\CaptiveFollowers\Config.json
The mod also has an MCM which shows how many followers are held captive currently and a checkbox to restrain followers freed by the Follower Slavery Mod if that mod frees a follower just because the enslavement limit is hit.
