Proper Killable Followers

Lets be honest, followers are annoying as ****. I could get past the buggy AI and retarded behaviour that they do, but the one thing that annoys me the most is their immortality. They can be whaled on and whaled on; and yet never die unless hit by a lucky arrow, a strong attack, or the player; that for me is a massive immersion breaker.

A lot of mods out their aim to fix this, it should be very easy to fix after all, there is a tag in the CK on all actors called "protected", which is what makes them kneel down and be unkillable, so by unticking that on each follower they should become killable. On the surface it seems to not work, but in fact all it's changing is whether the follower is killable WHEN THEY AREN'T FOLLOWING YOU. To make them killable when they ARE following you, you need to change another tag which is in the follower script itself; that is what this mod does.

NOTE: Followers will still kneel down and regen their health, enemies will still aggro to you when they do this and they will still get back up a few seconds later, however, with this change once your follower starts attacking again and retakes aggro they will die (or on the second "standup" or third), they WILL eventually die unless you pull the enemies away from them. I've tested this on all altered followers, enemies will use finishing moves on them, dragons will eat them, etc.

To prevent danger to saves and quests, guild-related followers and dungeon related followers are still protected, however there are enough people who want me to, i will make them killable as well.

Mod should be compatible with all other follower altering mods; so long as it is the last in the load order

Please tell me if you find any bugs, there are bound to be a few and i'll get on them right away; also please rate the mod and leave a comment on your experiences with it, so that it can get noticed =)

Enjoy!


*Extra Warning* If you like to travel around on foot, and your follower locks on to some enemy, unless you're near the fight, the enemy won't lock onto you when your follower goes down the first time and they will just kill your follower. So keep an eye on your allies.
