Beating a dead horse here: Not making Serana marriable in skyrim was absolutely stupid. She’s the only character in the entire game where you actually have a long-term journey together and naturally build a relationship, whereas everyone else can be summed up with “you did one thing for me, lets get married”.

@njux1871 2 месяца назад

People say that a lot but I think it really gives her some depth and character to actually not want to marry. I feel like it's a bit ridiculous for an immortal vampire to suddenly be into the monogamous institution of marriage, let alone be weirdly obsessed about the player. But I'm personally not a fan of the Serana mod anyway because it makes are in every single way a different character and kinda degrades her to a virtual girlfriend simulator. Even with all the added dialogue she feels like she has less agency than OG Serana weirdly.

@AsIfItNeverWas 2 месяца назад

I love SDA but I personally prefer Improved Follower Dialogue - Lydia. With that mod, Lydia is my favourite follower in modded Skyrim. While SDA has more content, I personally feel like Lydia is better written. My main problem is how Serana falls head over heels for you immediately while you actually have to prove yourself to Lydia who is a bit skeptical about your feats. While it may seem like her character progresses too fast too, going on a few sidequests and not immediately skipping to the main quests makes her character more interesting. But SDA will always have a place in my heart and my load order which it will nver leave.

The problem with Lydia is that she _never shuts up_ 😅

@Styxir Месяц назад

The falling head over heels can be similarly solved in SDA by doing side content while you're doing Dawnguard, or using one of the several mods that have you do a few radiant quests in between each major quest. If you run through it all at once it'll definitely feel less developed but going around with her through random quests while making conversation slows down the pacing as much as you want to slow it down essentially

SDA is thorough, but it is not Serena the daughter of Coldharbour from Bethesda. It's not the Serena that we know, or grew up with. I'd also argue that it's just not Serena, personality wise, and voice wise. SDA Serena seems way more sultry and less soft spoken. Obviously, no hate to the sda VA, but it's just not Serena. It's more so a fan-fiction project, or a 'take,' if you want to be frank.

The game clicked with me during the 3rd play session and I've been looking up stuff like graphics mods and I'm really amazed at how ignorant I've been all these years in not having played this game sooner. Strategy and simulation were among my favorite genres but this is my first rpg and I love it, and its no surprise since I'm autistic and the internet says that autists love these genres.

@StevenZissimos 2 месяца назад

I might be in the minority here, but I'm not a big fan of the SDA mod. I love Kirsten Unger's voice acting, just not how Serana was written. In some ways, she's worse than the OG version with Laura Bailey. She develops a really weird romantic obsession with the Dragonborn character (which is the main appeal of the mod, let's be honest) in a really inauthentic way. I found her desperation to be kinda icky tbh. It seems that they took the original version and made her into a "vampire wifu with daddy issues" archetype. It almost feels like a mockery of the original version, it's frankly embarrassing. However, I do appreciate some of the additonal dialogue outside of the Dawngaurd quest. Overall, I think the modders did a decent job at fleshing out her character more, but some parts of her character (particularly the romance) were a bit forced. I feel that they could have introduced the romance option until after Dawngaurd quest was completed, as this would feel more natural compared to "hey let's forget about saving the world for a minute and fuck at this sacred glade because I'm horny." Just gross.

@azurehorizon6097 2 месяца назад

The second I found this mod on Xbox I fell in love, well fell in love again, before I played Dawnguard for the first time about 5 or 6 years ago I basically never touched any of the companions in Skyrim, I preferred just being a solo character that was self reliant, but when I was able to have Serana as a companion, she definitely felt different than say Cosnach, Lydia or Jenassa, she had depth to her as a character that wasn't there with any other companion, she was amazing. This mod is easily a 100/10, the VA's voice is beautiful and the quality of the voice work is impeccable too, I found a visual overhaul mod for Serana called "Anima Nera - Serkethetyt's Serana Overhaul" that gave her such a good compliment to the mod (In my opinion at least), with a small little detail of having a facial scar that the mod implies is thanks to Molag Bal, giving a hint that what Molag Bal wasn't only mental, but physical. I wish I saw this video sooner, but RU-vid seems to have given quite a few people this video to see via recommended.

That said I ain't going to pretend there is much depth there or with any of the other vanilla companions The Lucien mod for Skyrim though is soooo well done, so it's nice to hear of other really good ones like this. Will defiantly have to check it out. I also remember hearing and seeing one for Lydia which was actually supposed to be really well done. **Talking about Fallout 4 though the Heather Casdin mod is one of the best follower mods I have seen as well so if you are looking for Fallout 4 stuff can not recommend highly enough.

A Serena Waifu mod. TAKE MY MONEY!!!

@TheParagonIsDead 3 месяца назад

I can see it took a lot of work but I just prefer a lore friendly experience for my game. She was a bit too corny and horny/ out of character for me.

I can’t tell you how sad I was when I finished the dawnguard quests and she became a basic follower again that’s what got me into custom follower mods like lucien, indigo and serana add on

Since seeing the title of this video I was dreading it features Neural Network voices. Glad to be proven wrong. And I'm glad that somebody did Serana justice. Compared to other companions in vanilla Skyrim (to be after Lydia I stopped trying, but I heard there is at least one fan favorite) Serana was a breath of fresh... dusty, tomb.. air. Well, DLC made her much more interesting than most of the main story characters combined. But on my subsequent playthrough I realized how much is she lacking as a regular companion outside the context of seeing her in this DLC for the first time. I grew to despise her just as she despises Skyrim's weather. And caves. Outdoors. Nights, days. After the main storyline ends she goes back to being a soulless husk that is Skyrim companion NPC. Serana was a great Dawnguard main plot character, but she is only marginally better than your average Skyrim companion character and that fail is on Bethesda. Their games usually don't end when the story ends and they didn't design their companions well enough to be around them all the time. There is little voiced dialogue and not a lot of companion writing in Baldur's Gate 2 all in all, but the voice talent and direction is so good, their response "barks" become their characterization over the course the game. You hear them over and over again, but you don't grow to despise them, they become part of your long term memory over one or two or several long playthroughs. If somebody did Serana right, it sounds awesome! Not that I can stand the dullness of Skyrim gameplay anymore.

I really want a mod about a Male Argonian followed with a really cool storyline

@genevievebertolet2909 Месяц назад

I do really like this mod; however, I'm not the biggest fan of how it causes Serana to start whining about how she wants a drink or she wants a date or she just wants to settle down on a quiet little farm every 15 minutes after you complete all the vanilla quests and all there is left to do is mod DLC.

I have to agree in that the house of horrors quest is masterfully directed and becomes an entirely different beast with this mod. I was roleplaying as a paladin, since the game doesn't provide enough avenues to role play properly, I had to make my own fun with a set of self imposed rules. On this one, the paladin was a follower of Miridia, so the rules where. Never to kill an innocent, never work for other deadra, never ignore the undead and hunt them down there where I found them. With all this, when I did this quest with Serana I was trying to find a way to not kill the follower of stendar. I was blocking, parrying, dodging. And during all this I was hearing her screams. I didn't struggle for very long, I made a choice. And as penance I forsake that character from using weapons again.

Might be great for some, but IMO it just doesn't fit, plus you're missing out on Laura Bailey

@Lonely_Moth 2 месяца назад

You've made a strategic mistake by putting "Sera was never" in the background. I was seriously considering downloading this mod before I start the Dawnguard DLC in my current playthrough of Skyrim, but alas, now I HAVE to spend 200 more hours in DAI. This is your fault!😅

The face change for serana in this video makes her look like she wouldn't be out of place on a 50s sitcom or sabrina

@davidgray5513 2 месяца назад

I switch up secondary follower mods from time to time but sda has a permanent spot on the load order.

@bornofthenight3871 6 месяцев назад

Good video, but i have to ask: Why SDA instead of any of the other follower mods available on the Nexus? Is it just because it's Serana? Also, if you haven't tried the others, you definitely should. For example, SDA and Auri have conversations, and theres plenty others that'll talk to eachother.

@BlubirdR 6 месяцев назад

Not gonna lie, I still have yet to try some of them out. There's a lot of good mods.

@dolfuny 2 месяца назад

Serana and remiel are my favorite duo! Remiel and auri are also so good together

@DragonOfTheNorth1 Месяц назад

Eh, Remiel and Xelzaz are way better than SDA imo. Even Gore, though he is almost as corny as SDA. But his Vigilant add-on is just spot on.

@nebiru00 6 месяцев назад

Thanks, now I have another mod to download. No I don't have a problem, I can stop anytime I want!

Well idk, my favourite mod in anything ever gotta be Star Wars in X4 but this one is surely one of the good ones for Skyrim.

@lsswappedcessna Месяц назад

real. X4 is an amazing game. Sad that you need a damned government supercomputer to run it once you start getting further into the storyline. Also, Katana my beloved.

@Mike-dh5ur Месяц назад

@@lsswappedcessna Yeah, mid and late game are a pain. Personally I use Katana as a shuttle to travel around quickly but use Shark as a flagship. After updated carrier commands like a year ago it's been pretty cool

Ive probably spent more time with Serana in Skyrim than any other character in a game XD

@CryingCreeperMLG 2 месяца назад

I can't help but wonder if the Critical Role clip at the beginning is intentional or not, considering Laura Bailey stars on Critical Role and voices Serana

This mod made my entire last playthrough. I was in the bannard mare getting contracts and Sophia says she's going to get some drinks for herself and you all. And I'm "Oh, neat, they added some new dialogue." And then my jaw goes slack as Serana responds to Sophia BY NAME and makes a snarky remark. They start ribbing each other and INIGO has to break up the fight. And I'm sitting there taking screenshots to send to my buddies as proof of what had just happened. After that Sophia, Serana, Inigo, and another male modded follower (can't remember his name) had regular chats, and I just couldn't stop myself from smiling cause it felt like traveling with a group of actual people. Unfortunately it made the rest of Skyrim (and poor M'rissi who was also with us.) seem stilted by comparison.
