Cerwiden -SMART Healer- AI Configurable Companion
Cerwiden (Ceri) is a young Priestess of Donblas who hails from distant shores, far away from Skyrim.
She recently ventured to Riverwood, and is still new to the vast lands of Skyrim.
Will you be her guide, friend and companion?
Current Version: 1.5
Cerwiden is the first of a new breed of "smart" AI, CONFIGURABLE followers to join in your adventures in Skyrim. As a Priestess of Donblas, Cerwiden has the following abilities:
- She'll cast defensive buffs on you and your other followers, with buffs increasing in number, magnitude and duration as she gains more experience adventuring
- She'll heal you and any other followers you may have in your adventuring party (if you have other followers, they'll occasionally comment on Cerwiden's heal spells, just like when the player casts heals on them)
- She'll cure you of normal diseases if you become infected (after combat of course, she's smart enough to realize you may get reinfected, so she'll save her magicka); she won't cure "quest" diseases like lycanthropy so you can do those quests if you'd like
- With SMARTCast, she'll choose spells based on the opponent she's facing, no more silly mage followers casting cold spells at frost trolls
- When not following you actively, Cerwiden will change outfits periodically (and at night will wear her sleep clothes, and may decide to wear her hair "down" instead of in a pony-tail)
- She'll take instruction from you on how you'd like her to (re)act in combat; with "Battle Command", she'll even change tactics while in combat at your direction (see "Configuration" section)
If you're new to using Ceri, please don't get overwhelmed at the number of configuration options. Consider leaving her at her "defaults" to start and see how it suits your style. If you find her too strong/weak for your particular game, just speak with her and give her new directions on spell/weapon use. If she's healing too frequently or not enough, just let her know. Do you want her to attack enemies when she spots them? Or try to avoid engaging enemies completely, and stick to being the party healer? Don't want her to cure you because you're using an immersion/realism mod? It's all up to you, and how you believe Ceri would be most helpful, in YOUR game.
