New playthroughs. Does anybody like to roleplay your PC has no friends at the beginning of games? I typically use Hired Mercs at beginning games for immersive reasons. Why would someone who doesnt know my PC,want to follow my weak ass pc at beginning of game? I have thought about making a mechanic that would give an npc needed factions to be follower after doing some easy generic thing for them, off course that would require me to go into 4 or 5 merged follower mods to individually remove forementioned factions from all followers, which wouldn't be too bad?   

 

I think in vanilla you really didn't have access to followers in game, you had to do shit to get a follower like the word dork in Riverwood, Faendal?. Some sort dialogue could/should be added prior to "Follow me", it's just kinda lame.

(I really just misunderstood topic 2 times?) Yes, it would be cool to have a mechanic of trust, longer you stay in cities and help random people with something, more you have trust from people, or maybe ranking system in cities, like from stranger to citizen, and higher reputation you have, more chance to npc come and ask you to do something, and if you helped this npc before, he haves a bit more chances to ask you some favor, like bring something to them... There is third idea already... help me i am out of words

This is thing i wrote before thinking about topic, you can ignore this... I misunderstood

Fail No.1
This would be a really good addition to Alternative life mod, because in vanilla Skyrim you start as a prisoner and this is not a surprise you dont have friends in Skyrim. Alternative life, however, moves this problem a little, making PC a person LIVING in skyrim. If you are Nord, well, you can start with friend, but this will change almost nothing. Would be cool, like, if you start in Riverwood inn, you would probably already have friends from Riverwood or something like this.

Fail No.2
Actually i never thought about this, because i dont use followers as much as i needed. Usually i just play solo as stealthy archer... Or stealthy two handed barbarian... But to be honest i can agree with you. Always starting without followers is boring, it may be cool to have random npc's with unique names to be your friends. Would be a little illogical, if you use vanilla start, but as Alternative Start living in Whiterun for example, would be pretty nice addition. Having some unique words about your life if you just walk near them... There really can be some cool ideas, but i will just let this as an idea for further people.

Taking a break and Bam! It hit me, there would be no need remove any applicable factions from follower mod NPCs. 1 would only need to add a quick condition check for generic "follow me" dialogue

What is that from? Devious Followers. Been meaning to take another look at that mod. I think that mod had good mcm, Im not overly big on the pc being taken as a slave and I know that mod could do that but with its mcm that part could probably be left out.
