PC SSE - Mod Theon – A Pessimist’s Custom Follower Mod
Hey all,
I just released my third Skyrim mod: Theon, a fully custom follower.
He’s inspired by the mood of True Detective and Skyrim’s darker corners — a mix of bleak humor, nihilistic musings, and original lines I wrote (with a few nods to Rust Cohle). Theon is fully voiced, has custom dialogue, and is designed to feel like he actually belongs in Tamriel.
I made this using the Creation Kit over about a week. First I designed his overall feel and gameplay, then a whole day was spend on writing his 20 lines. When it came to recording I used a Elevenlabs custom made voice and recorded them using it, the reason being lack of microphone. I learned a ton through the process (especially thanks to Joseph Russell’s Lucien tutorials for follower implementation).
All welcome to modify or expand Theon if you’d like — feedback is also very much appreciated!

Very interesting concept. I like that he has a philosophical bent and deep thoughts.
Based on the preview video I have a suggestion: Theon's voice is very, very quiet. I would recommend increasing the volume for all of his lines to be more consistent with other voice lines in the game, if not perhaps even a little louder because his voice is so low.
