Skooma Bear is a mod about a follower named Sniffs, a moon sugar addicted talking bear. He has lost his skooma, and needs your help to take it back. You can discover the origins of Sniffs, and gain a second follower, Faidalf, a high-elf from the College of Winterhold.
Description:
What is a Skooma Bear? Why it is a bear addicted to moon sugar that keeps calling moon sugar Skooma. Why do they call it Skooma and where do
they come from? Find out!
In this mod, you will meet Sniffs in the Bannered Mare. He is all depressed that he was kicked out of his den,
and that his den mates stole his 'Skooma'. You quickly discover
that the bears are much more than what they appear, and even get to
fight their alpha. But where did they come from?
After helping Sniffs out, he will agree to be your follower. Also at this time, you
can ask him about where he comes from. Naturally he becomes defensive,
but will eventually relent. From there you will be sent on a quest and
will meet new characters, one of which can become a follower.
The best part about these followers? You can request their assistance
without worrying about Vilja, Xanthys, M.H.A.R.P.H.I.N., Serana, or any of the other followers you
currently use. Sniffs offers a lot more options than the vanilla Skyrim
follower system, and will follow and wait most anywhere. You can even
set your favorite house and favorite inn for Sniffs to remember and wait
in. The other follower, Faidalf, is quite typical in the high elf
tradition of arrogance, and is one of the few at the College of
Winterhold versed in the art of Mysticism. He refuses to do most of
what Sniffs can do, but will do the basics. Faidalf will treat you
differently depending on whether you are a member of the College or not,
and whether you are the Arch-Mage. He will give you the opportunity to
become involved with his latest research when you become(or currently
are) the Arch-Mage.
The new texts and dialogue are rooted in the lore found in previous Elder Scrolls games, while adding worthwhile
content. It might be a richer experience for you if you have played
previous Elder Scrolls games. If you have not, I highly recommend using
USEP wiki as a companion.
