Skyrim Dynamic Follower Dialogue
At the temple, her daily schedule is more rigorous and dynamic than before. She starts off her day at 6am with breakfast for an hour, and has the following hour free to herself. At 8am, she begins honing her archery skills at one of the target boards at the courtyard for two hours. A stat-based Dynamic Personality System, where Lucien may gain or lose Approval or Bravery based on his interactions with you and the choices you make, altering his behaviour and dialogue. So I made a follower unlocked through a quest, and for some reason none of the follower-specific dialogue shows up. I originally thought that the problem was due to the lack of followers using the MaleElfHaughty voice, but even with the voicetype added to the follower voices formlist and custom written dialogue that has the proper conditions, he still has no dialogue. The dialogue option 'Follow me, i need your help' was not there. In fact, the dialogue options were showing as if she was already recruited, because all the 'wait here' and the 'i need you to do something' were there. I typed in the console 'show playerfollowercount' again, and it still said zero. 'well,' i thought, 'this is probably a minor.

Description:
What is a Skooma Bear? Why it is a bear addicted to moon sugar that keeps calling moon sugar Skooma. Why do they call it Skooma and where do they come from? Find out!
In this mod, you will meet Sniffs in the Bannered Mare. He is all depressed that he was kicked out of his den, and that his den mates stole his 'Skooma'. You quickly discover that the bears are much more than what they appear, and even get to fight their alpha. But where did they come from?
After helping Sniffs out, he will agree to be your follower. Also at this time, you can ask him about where he comes from. Naturally, he becomes defensive, but will eventually relent. From there you will be sent on a quest and will meet new characters, one of which can become a follower.
The best part about these followers? You can request their assistance without worrying about Vilja, Serana, or any of the other followers you currently use. Sniffs offers a lot more options than the vanilla Skyrim follower system and will follow and wait most anywhere. You can even set your favorite house and favorite inn for Sniffs to remember and wait in. The other follower, Faidalf, is quite typical in the high elf tradition of arrogance and is one of the few at the College of Winterhold versed in the art of Mysticism. He refuses to do most of what Sniffs can do, but will do the basics. Faidalf will treat you differently depending on whether you are a member of the College or not, and whether you are the Arch-Mage. He will give you the opportunity to become involved with his latest research when you become(or currently are) the Arch-Mage.
The new texts and dialogue are rooted in the lore found in previous Elder Scrolls games while adding worthwhile content. It might be a richer experience for you if you have played previous Elder Scrolls games. If you have not, I highly recommend using USEP wiki as a companion.

Original description:
Ever wonder what a bear addicted to moon sugar would look like? Well, a group of bears that are addicted to it thinks it is skooma. One, in particular, made its way to Whiterun in The Bannered Mare and is wishing for assistance in retrieving his 'skooma'.
This mod introduces the 'skooma' bear as a creature into the Skyrim universe. Also, a special one named Sniffs is your companion. This companion uses a custom system outside of the vanilla system, derived from the vanilla marriage mechanics. In other words, you can send him to one of your houses, to follow you, to go back to The Bannered Mare, or to stay put, without sacrificing your other favorite companion. Enjoy
Known Issues:
-Skooma Bears might become temporarily bugged in the dungeon. Make sure you keep some way to heal yourself handy if this happens.
-Sniffs might not allow you to immediately hand over the Skooma Supply. Leaving the dungeon will fix this issue.
Known Quirks:
-The Khajiit voice-over might be a little silent and sound like whispering. I apologize, I am not a voice actor.
-Some of the new Skooma bear dialogue is either repetitive or seems slightly out of place. This is due to the original voice actor not being available for this project.

Sometimes traveling Skyrim by yourself can be lonely, but not every character would welcome human companionship – or maybe you don’t want to deal with the other aspects of the follower system like managing inventory and equipment. Maybe your character (or you!) is an animal lover. And sometimes you just need a furry friend because not having one at your side feels wrong. In this list, I’ve compiled a collection of the best animal and creature follower mods for both special edition and legendary (classic) edition I could find, taking into account variety and functionality.
Dogs & Wolves
Garm the Husky Companion / (SSE)A feature-rich dog/husky follower with many appearance options available, both lore-friendly and unique. Doesn’t trigger traps, has max stealth skill, and is overall a very well developed follower.
Meeko RebornSkyrim Female Follower
While my criteria for most of these mods is that they add new animals rather than editing existing ones, this one was too good to pass up. Adds a variety of unique appearance options and features to vanilla dog follower Meeko, including a summon spell, enhanced stealth, and making him essential so you never have to worry about Meeko dying on you again.
Vigilance RebornJust like the above mod, adds a bunch of useful features to the vanilla dog companion Vigilance: unique appearances, cannot be killed, ability to call him to your side, and more.
Fenrir the Frost WolfAn icy themed wolf follower, Fenrir has a unique appearance and the ability to cast several frost spells. Also comes with his own summoning spell.
Doge – The Husky CompanionA simple black and white husky companion with HD fur and eye textures. Has a few appearance varieties, such as with or without armor, and eye color options. Doesn’t set off traps or stealth meter.
Judah – Working DogA German Shepard Dog follower with enhanced attacking abilities and custom dialogue commands.
True MeekoSeveral cute appearance options for vanilla dog Meeko. Also makes him essential and allows him to level with you.
Wolf MasterAdds a small dungeon that, one completed, allows you to recruit several wolf companions. Also includes options for allowing several wolves to follow you.
Doge Reborn – Shiba Inu companionA cute Shiba Inu follower dog. Has optional black fur version.
Rex the German Shepherd Companion / (SSE)Adds a family of German Shepard Dogs to Dragonsreach in Whiterun, with a couple different appearances.
Asky – almost like a real dogA dog with many unique features, including its own blanket and food bowl, loyalty system, and feeding requirements.
Daruk The Fire WolfAn essential, flaming wolf companion. For when you need a dog that’s also on fire all the time.
Black and White DogAs the name implies, a dog with a custom textured black and white coat pattern. Also has a brown version of the same texture.
Amaterasu – The Great Spirit
A wolf with a very unique design and textures based on a Japanese deity. Comes with its own MCM menu for customization and a summoning shout.
Skyrim Dynamic Follower Dialogue Example
Melpomene -The Spectral Warhound FollowerA unique looking spectral dog follower, with custom dialogue options.
Cats and Sabre Cats
Sabretooth – the loyal Sabrecat Companion / (SSE)A feature-rich sabre cat follower with his own bonding/perks system, texture options with in-game selection, and custom commands.
Cats of SkyrimAdds all sorts of domestic and wild cats to many areas in the game, including purchasable/adoptable cats.
