About this mod Machine translation
Adds radiant mercenaries specializing in a variety of weapons, both ranged and melee, as well as a variety of spells. They can be found in Skyrim, and their starting gear, spells, and stats are based on the player's current level.
describe:
This mod adds various NPCs called mercenaries to Skyrim that you can use to serve you in gold. What makes this mod different from any other companion/follower mod is that when you find it, the gear, attributes, combat AI, and possibly spells are randomized depending on your current level. This allows for a variety of different follower combinations not found in vanilla Skyrim. Such as summoning dremora's battle axe, the heavily armored mage, in battle.
feature:
- Mercenaries of various races
- Various potential magic equipment and spell generation loadouts for all mercenaries
*Includes one-handed weapon specialization
*Includes two-handed weapon specialization
*Includes specialization for dual-wield combat
*Includes ranged combat specialties (Crossbow and Bow)
*Includes specialization for staff combat
*Includes magic (spell) combat professions
*Includes heavy armor specialization
*Includes light armor specialization
*Includes shield specialization
*Specializations stack meaning you might get a mercenary who is good at dual wielding plus destroying magic.
*Mercenaries' starting equipment usually reflects their expertise
Check the inns in settlements (both small and major) as some mercenaries usually appear in these places.
Install:
- Place the contents of the \Data folder contained in this zip file into the Skyrim Special Edition \Data folder
Uninstall:

notes:
Most custom mercenary lines don't have any voice acting yet. Please contact me if interested.
If using Awazing Follower Tweaks make sure to load this mod after AFT or your game will crash.
Mercenaries should have a chance to spawn armor/weapons from other mods.

I encourage feedback or criticism in any way, shape or form, and it's very much appreciated.

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.
