Stealthy Followers?

[Shadowhawk827]

I put this in the adult section so that some of the more risque followers could be mentioned if appropriate.

 

ANYWAY, I was reading the favorite followers thread, and got to thinking...  I really don't have one.  Why?  The main problem I have with followers is finding one with an AI that supports my playstyle.  I like to sneak and snipe with a bow or crossbow, spells next and melee as a last resort.  The game is just more fun & challenging that way than loading up with maxed out heavy armor and wading into everything with a two hander.

 

This being the case, most followers, Lydia as a prime example, drive me bat shit crazy.  All they do is charge in while I'm setting up a sniper shot, and then jump in the way of my shot.

 

I've tried some mods that were supposed to be stealthy or assassin type followers and they're still awfully prone to tank AI behavior after that first shot is fired.  So, instead I end up going solo most of time so I can fire, blend into the shadows, rinse, wash repeat.    Devious fun.

 

Sp are there any followers out there that really support a sniping type character, or can at least stay the hell out of my way when I'm shooting?

AFT has a stealth mode for followers.

i would sugest a custom follower. sofie arisa or the dutzend that comes with intresting npcs. the voices are much sexier than the vanilia one they have personality and you will like them much more than the robot lydia.

especially the dialogs from inpcs are awsome. playing since month with inpc and havent uncovert erverything.

 

for the funktionaliti is aft the best. i tryed ufo and eef, ufo is out of date and eff was to overlodet with its features.

aft has many options without being to big, stealth mode for followers includet.

the funktion is simple. you have your tweak commands, on aktivate you can chose your options as exemple stealth mode. your followers get muffelt invisble and will not attack untile your geting hit or out of stealth.

AFT pretty much solves all those problems and you can customize the stats of any followers however you like.
