Sovngarde Mist

A simple mod that allows heroes lost in the fog of Sovngarde (Kodlak, Ulfric, Like, etc.) to fight against Alduin with you after the fog disappears. (tagged ESL)

As stated in the description, this mod allows heroes lost in the mists of Sovngarde to aid you in the final battle against Alduin. This was suggested by a user on Reddit and I thought it was a good idea so I made this simple mod.

Conditions must still be met. Complete the companion questline to get Kodlak there.

It's possible they died in the fog before it cleared. I haven't seen this happen, but there is a script that allows them to be eaten by Alduin (vanilla feature). Once the fog is cleared, this feature will be disabled and they will not die during the final battle.

NPCs may take a while to reach combat status. They run from where you first encountered them, staggered by debris falling from the sky.

I recommend playing the game on a higher difficulty level. Obviously you're going to have more help, and you don't want Alduin to die too easily, which also gives the NPCs a chance to actually join the fight.

These adjustments apply to all heroes lost in the mists (Froki, Rikke, Ulfric, Galmar, Svaknir, High King Torygg, and Kodlak).

After the battle, they will stand where Alduin died. (Same as vanilla). I did consider changing this so they enter the Halls of Valor, but thought it would be nice if they saw you returning to Skyrim instead of just walking away.

I recorded a quick video of the mod in action. Please note that I am now level 1 and the difficulty is very high, so why is the fight so easy. At legendary high levels you can still expect a tough battle and have to complete everything.

I've tested it to the best of my ability, but if you have any questions please let me know, I'm also open to suggestions.

It's flagged ESL so it doesn't count in the load order.

Compatibility - should be compatible with everything. It edits AI packages and scripts used only in Sovngarde missions. I don't know of any mods that can do this, but I can certainly tell and I can look at patches.

This mod does edit 2 NPC records, the MQ304 versions of Kodlak and Torygg. The changes are fairly minor, it gave Kodrak a sword (he didn't have one by default), and I made Torig's level between 10-30 (his default level is level 1). If another mod edits these NPC records, these adjustments may be overwritten. Let me know again.

Return to Sofgard - If you do return to Sofgard, they may still be standing near the entrance. I don't know how many people return to sovngarde via mods or other means, but if there's demand I can make a new package that will give them access to Halls of Valor once they return to Skyrim.

What exactly does it do/change:

Changed MQ305LostSoulToAlduin AI package. This package leads the NPC to the place where Alduin died after being defeated. I changed this so that once the fog clears, they start fighting.

Added script snippets to AI packages. By default, NPCs have AI stats of non-aggressive and timid, meaning they won't fight, so set them to "aggressive" and "completely unsafe" at the start of the package.

Change mq304lostsoulscript.pex. In vanilla, if one of the NPCs is hit by Alduin, it will be removed from the game (to simulate being devoured). I just added an extra condition so that this doesn't happen once the fog is cleared.

Changed MQ304Torygg and MQ304Kodlak NPC records. As mentioned, Torygg defaults to level 1, so I gave him a little boost, and Kodlak has no weapons, so I gave him a Skyforge steel sword.
