A Quick Update on the New Follower!
🕑 Added 2022-09-23 12:01:01 +0000 UTC
If you guys didn't already know, for the past month or so, I've been working on a new follower named Ashe. An entirely new character for once, as I've always wanted to work on original creations besides adding my own creative renditions of existing characters like Serana.
This does not mean I won't work on old characters at all- I see a lot of potential in Dragonborn's Frea for example, it just won't be the focus for the coming months.
Ashe development will continue alongside SDA, with me giving exclusive development preview builds and videos as I continue to work on the character.
I imagine Ashe will receive a public release once she's feature-complete enough as a follower and I've implemented the basic story beats. She has an entire mini DLC-sized questline planned, and I'm not gunning on finishing all of it before I show her on the Nexus.
Like SDA, I'm focusing on making an in-depth character who is interesting to interact with and has great potential character arcs, while also exploring themes like discovering self-identity and finding one's purpose in life.
If you're interested in learning more about this character, I've written a 20+ page character sheet here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/17CQljv_8ERsv8s4UHFoOLALE_hB9ElC3lJx6iIkMx8o/edit?usp=sharing (It's still the same Version 8 number that I shared at the start of this month, but a substantial amount of work has been put into the writing since then).
Thanks!

Yeah, was also feeling like Aela is cruely missing in follower rewrites/improvements in the mod community! Would be fantastic to see your take on her someday! BUT back to the topic, Ashe is looking like a really interesting character and I can only support you in your creative endeavour!

Not to mention the possible conflicts between the werewolf and vampire factions!

That is SO AWESOME! So many conflict\resolution\bonding(or not!) possibilities between Aela and Serana with the whole werewolf vs vampire element going on, not to mention the two both vying to be the significant other of the Dragonborn... So many possiblities!

Thanks dude, I really appreciate it!

I'm writing in Ashe to have an entirely platonic relationship with the player for now, so she won't be competing for your affections anytime soon :)

Awesome, can't wait! I always hoped that some one would develop a SDA type mod for my second favorite follower, Aela! Keep up the amazing work!

Awesome, always up for new characters to explore Skyrim with.

Pretty cool concept!

I was really worried you’d be taking a dread “break” if/when you finish Serana so this is a HUGE breathe of fresh air! Cant wait, and keep it up!

She seems pretty cool but my heart belongs to Serana. 🥰
