Oldrim Derkeethus improvements - Argon minion
Derkeethus is the only Argonian companion in Skyrim, and in 2014 I decided to tackle these big questions
Bethesda gave him; fixed him up and gave him a proper lore-friendly overhaul. This is my first mod
After returning to Skyrim and playing with the Special Edition, I decided now was the time to bring this mod to SE.
Derkeethus default value:
The emotion of fear lasts forever
No perks - he is virtually useless in any actual combat situation
Low basic health
Constantly running away from combat due to low base health and low courage
When he became more adept at using a bow, he often used it for melee combat
He can only be level 30 with you at most
He dual-wields only when given two pickaxes
No spells, not even healing spells
Distinctive character design - nothing more distinctive than the other Argonians except his curved horns
Report any crimes he witnesses you committing (Bad Derky!)

Derkeethus can carry heavy ore in the mines and therefore can carry more weight than its usual companions.

Derkeethus can now dual-use any weapon you give him in either hand
Derkeethus will use his healing spells and alteration spells

Derkeethus now ignores all crimes you have committed

Oldrim Derkeethus Improved - The Argonian Follower
Derkeethus was the one and only Argonian companion in Skyrim and in 2014 I decided to fix the massive issues
that Bethesda gave him; repairing him and giving him a appropriate lore friendly overhaul. This was my first ever mod
and after coming back to Skyrim and now using Special Edition I decided that now was the time to bring this mod over to SE.
Derkeethus Defaults:
Scared emotion lasts forever
NO PERKS - he is pretty much useless in any real combat situation
Low base health
Flees from combat CONSTANTLY due to the low base health always running out and his low courage setting
Constantly engages in melee combat over using his bow when he is better at using his bow
He only levels with you up to 30
He dual wields only when given two pickaxes
No spells... not even a healing spell
Unoriginal character design - nothing sets him apart from other Argonians except for his curled horns

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
