Nothingness Baurus Companion

Adds the spirit of a certain important Oblivion NPC as a follower in Skyrim SE.

Where to start? I found this mod for Oldrim and felt like porting it to SSE and then making tons of improvements.

"But WTF will this mod be made?"

This mod adds the heroic Blade Baurus (my favorite Oblivion NPC) as a ghost that can be recruited as a companion. He could walk around Whiterun's Hall of the Dead without stopping.

Improvements I made:

• Make him vital
• Give him a unique sandbox wrapper, so when he's not following you, he'll actually be wandering the halls above. (In the original mod, he still had Amren's AI suit, so you were not guaranteed to find him in the Hall of the Dead.)
• Slightly reshaped his face and exported facegen data
• Give him a MaleBrute voice type (IMO, sounds a bit close to his voice in Oblivion)
• Give him a unique ghost shader for aesthetic purposes. Includes an optional .esp, He's Not a Ghost.
• He has a casual outfit similar to Oblivion's (green shirt, leather boots and bracers) and when you recruit him he will equip his Blade Armor.

Install:

Open the archive using WinRAR and extract the Data folder to the Skyrim SE folder and enable the plugin in Wrye Bash or some other mod manager.

Where to start? I found this mod for Oldrim and felt like porting it to SSE, followed by vast improvements.

"But WTF does this mod do?"

This mod adds the heroic blade Baurus (my all-time favorite NPC from Oblivion) as a ghost that can be recruited as a companion. He can be found restlessly moving around inside the Hall of the Dead in Whiterun.

The improvements I made:

-Made him essential

-Gave him a unique sandbox package so he will actually stick around in aforementioned hall when he's not following you. (In the original mod he somehow still had Amren's AI packages so you were not guaranteed to find him in the Hall of the Dead.)

-Slightly remodeled his face and exported facegen data

-Gave him the MaleBrute voicetype (IMO, that sounds kinda closer to his voice in Oblivion)

-Gave him a unique ghost shader for aesthetic purposes. Included an optional.esp where he's not a ghost.

-He has a casual outfit that resembles the one from Oblivion (green shirt, leather boots and bracers), and when you recruit him, he will equip his Blades armor.

Installation:

Open the archive with WinRAR and extract the Data folder to your Skyrim SE folder, and enable the plugin in Wrye Bash or some other mod manager.
