Follower comments like pawns

[ezrken]

Recently I've been playing dragon's dogma dark arisen, one thing i love about that is pawn's commentry dialogues are shown on left hand side, it give a sense of being a part of team, in Skyrim follower system feels like follower system and not like a team,

 

I was hoping someone would make a mod so that the comments done by followers while exploring are shown as subtitles in left side of the screen much like dark arisen

The only follower that actually has comments on specific locations is Skeever. He has a lot to say on nearly everything. The author planned to eventually cover every single location in vanilla, unfortunately he took his own life before that happened.

Inigo, Lucien Flavius, Xelzaz and Remiel have commentary related to every city and nearly every major interior in the base game.

As for the main topic, this is less an issue with the specific follower mods and more of a UI issue. One would have to mod the subtitles in such a way that followers dialogue is represented on the left side of the screen.

Sure, but Skeever has a lot more and specific to a location, not just random "there be bandits". There is just no comparison. The amount of work and detail the author put into it is unparalleled. Its a shame the mod never got any real traction when it was still being worked on and remains obscure to this day, and a tragedy it all ended how it ended.

Maybe you can ask the mod author of the Subtitles mod if he plans to have anything like what you are looking for in the future. At the very least, he has multi-colored subtitles in the works right now.
