Idea for a Follower mod?

Taken by "Stealer" from the Sanhoshin forum.

 

I saw this picture a couple of days ago and I just thought of an idea for a mod this morning. I just want to throw idea's around and I welcome other people's input.

 

I thought that wouldn't it be cool if we could make an encounter in the lands of skyrim where a family of traders would be attacked by a large gang of bandits. As the dragonborn you hear voices of the bandits and the family screaming and shouting. When you find the source of the fighting, you witness the deaths of the parents of this girl and you get to make a choice. You can stand there and let the bandits kill the girl and leave. Or you can save the girl and kill the bandits.

 

When you kill the bandits, it's not just a "Oh you saved me Dragonborn, I'm now in your debt and your companion". No, that teen is scarred. After the fight you can walk up to the girl and you can initiate a conversation. Whatever you ask, she won't say anything as she would be in shock. The player would get bored and leaves the as she doesn't say anything. After a set amount of time; say your in a dungeon or something you find that the girl had followed you into danger and would then be attacked by enemies in the dungeon. You have to save her before she gets killed as she would not be marked as essential yet. After you save her you can go into a script of saying stuff like "What were you thinking! Are you crazy?" or "Fuck off" and then come to the conclusion that it would be nuts to leave the girl alone and then you have a choice to give her a shield or a staff of fear(I don't know) to protect herself. The choice also chooses her stats on whether she becomes a mage or a fighter.

 

Now I haven't thought more into this but perhaps later on you could go and visit the girl's old town (Location found from clues on dead parents body perhaps" and take her to her aunt. The aunt goes through a script like "What happened?" "Oh dear." etc. And she offers the girl a home with her.

 

What do you think?

Seems interesting, the only thing I would change would be perhaps, that instead of the next dungeon, your next encounter with the girl could be in the wilds. Perhaps you hear a scream, and you find her fighting for her life against some wild animals, or being harassed by bandits.

All other ideas could make a nice expanding story.

Could fill something I feel Skyrim lacks a lot: Emotion.

Also should have face textures with tears ...
