✨ Features

A viking companion, a follower NPC who plays like a player: comes on your adventures, fights beside you, lives its own life at home, and gets better as it goes.

• Press J to summon your companion or open its menu (E on it too). Hold J: your companions come with you, or go home.
• Point and press H: at an enemy (they attack it), a tree, rock or plant (it works it, and the thing glows with a note above it while it does), your chest (it puts its things in), a cart (it pulls it), the ground (it waits there), the sky (it comes back).
• "Let it decide": it reads what you are doing. It fights beside you, mines or chops beside you, and keeps close while you explore; where a place is too dangerous for its gear it tells you and only defends.
• It fights like a player: timed parries (it learns each creature's swing), rolls out of sweeps and shots, joins in on what you are hitting and gets round behind it, pulls enemies off you when you are hurt, sneaks up for backstabs, uses weapon specials, hits and steps back against heavy hitters, drinks the right mead, remembers what has killed it, kites with its bow (leading moving targets, allowing for arrow drop), and fights bosses with care (flanking, keeping its distance, drinking early).
• Follows you through portals, into crypts and caves, onto boats and through doors; it steers round stakes and fires, jumps streams and gets itself unstuck.
• Home and away by itself: when you head out it comes along; back home it lives there again. It takes a free bed and empty chests by itself.
• At home it works toward better gear: picks its next upgrade, gathers exactly what it needs (trips further out when nothing near has it), makes bronze and the like, crafts and upgrades at your workbench and forge.
• It hunts, cooks on your cooking stations, keeps its fires burning, repairs its gear and your base, sleeps in its bed at night, and sorts what it brings home into the right chests (with QualityOfLife).
• While you are away it catches up on all of it, and tells you what it did when you return.
• Needs like a player: food for health and stamina, skills that rise, stamina, carry weight, weather, rest.
• Its gear has slots of its own (weapons, shield, bow and arrows, axe, pickaxe, hammer, armour, and three food slots it keeps filled): change them from its menu from anywhere. When it falls everything goes into its tombstone, as a player's; it wakes wearing its gear again when its tombstone is near, else it goes back for it.
• Its bag shows beside your inventory: drag items between you. Hotbar keys give it food, potions or gear.
• Between jobs it acts like a person: sits by the fire or in a chair, gets out of the rain, takes a stroll, sits with you when you rest, waves when you come back, cheers after a big fight and answers your emotes.
• A journal of its life, small talk that fits the moment, and chat messages about what it is up to.
• Its menu: status, stats and every skill, orders, home, gear, looks and journal, and a Companions tab (when you can have more than one) to switch between your companions, release one or add another. Talk to it in chat: "Rádvar, follow me", "Rádvar go home".
• With EpicMMO System it earns experience and levels from what it kills, chops, mines and picks, and its kills count for you too, as a tame's.
• With PartyHud it shows in the party panel (face, health, food); it shows on the map, and where it fell is marked for everyone.
• Multiplayer: it belongs to whoever summoned it. Everyone in the world needs the mod (the host too), or the game deletes saved companions.
