Vilja in Skyrim Mod 4.3

The Vilja in Skyrim Mod is a downloadable file that adds a new follower and companion to the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition game. This mod pays homage to an NPC in Oblivion and was created by Emma, Amgepo, and Lycanthrops. It can be downloaded from Nexus Mods.

Vilja in Skyrim does not require any other mod dependencies, only the base game of Skyrim Special Edition. However, you will need the latest version of the game to run it. There are other mods available, such as Lucien - Immersive Fully Voice Male Follower, Inigo, Amazing Follower Tweaks, Ultimate Combat SE, and Hoth, which also add new followers, functions, and companions.

Vilja, which means 'willpower' and 'determination' in Swedish, is a unique new follower in the mod. She can be found in the Bannered Mare in Whiterun and comes with a rich storyline and lore. Vilja's grandmother, also named Vilja, was a follower in Oblivion, and both characters are from Solstheim. Vilja sets out for Skyrim to learn about the mysterious contents of a bottle left by her grandmother.

One of the standout features of Vilja in Skyrim is the addition of nearly 9,000 lines of voiced dialog. This mod keeps players entertained for hours with unique new content. All character, story, and dialog voices are done by Emma, with additional voice acting by others such as SirCharleytheKhajit and Anna Fernlund. In version 4.0, over 500 original, low-quality voice files were recorded and manually cleaned with a high-quality microphone.

In addition to the voiced dialog, Vilja also adds new, original medieval music to Skyrim Special Edition. There are 28 custom music pieces in total, including flute music by Bosa123 and original lute compositions by Adrien Orton for Vilja's character. Many of the bard performances are recorded by the German music Ensemble Musiklustgarden. Vilja wants to become a bard and will always play music for the player, starting with drums and eventually learning flute and lute.

Overall, Vilja in Skyrim goes beyond just adding a new NPC follower. It enhances the game's atmosphere while staying true to the original game style. The mod has been downloaded nearly 200,000 times and is currently on version 4.3.
