Skyrim Mercenaries

This Mod places Mercenaries at settlements across Skyrim to assist the guards protecting NPCs. No DLCs required.

We have all met Mercenaries on the road who tell us they are on the way to some place but I for one have never seen one anywhere other than on the road apart from myself and my follower of course. Despite the Mods I use to help keep my NPCs alive they still die leaving me without Merchants, Blacksmiths and even Quest NPCs. This Mod places between 2 and 4 Mercenaries at 13 Settlements and 2 Orcs at each of the Orc Strongholds.

Unlike the Guards they are not restricted to Steel weapons but their weapons level with you. Unlike the Guards armour I have given them armour worth having, the armour does not improve as you levelup but instead they wear some of the best armour starting at level 1. Unlike Guards these cannot die, perhaps not good that you will never be able to loot them but looting ebony arrows from their victims at higher levels is better than steel I hope.

It is worth saying that although they are part of the Guard Faction they do not have any allegiance to the Imperial or Sons of Skyrim Factions, money is money wherever it comes from. They also have no Allegiance to any of the Holds, they really do not care how big your bounty is just don't try hitting one of them. They do not talk about arrows in knees!

Note: I could have changed the weapons used by the guards and perhaps made them essential (cannot die) but in my opinion changing the appearance (Dragonbone Bows etc) was not good. Essential guards would of course mean you cannot kill them either so also not an option. These are not followers.

With all three Mods and you working to keep the NPCs alive I hope it works out well for you.
