3.17.2020 OVERHAUL
WHAT'S NEW AS OF THE OVERHAUL:

- Erin's combat style has been changed from dual-wielding to Spellsword. When I made Erin, she always seemed to be out of place; she was a strong nord warrior, but was somehow raised by an elderly man who couldn't even kill a few wimpy skeletons? Does. Not. Make. Sense. Now she knows a handful of Shock, Lightning, Armor, and Ward spells in addition to wielding her very own sword (see updated lore below). Andurs may be useless with a knife, but he could still teach her everything she knows about magic!

- Erin's Outfit has been updated to something unique and custom using vanilla gear. Going along with the point above, any half mage - half swordsman who hasn't joined the companions shouldn't really have access to ancient nord armor. I mean, the whole point of Erin's story was the Andurs was over-protective and wouldn't let her leave Whiterun. Where on earth would she find that armor? Instead, Erin now wears a mix of mages robes and fur armor, along with a very special necklace (see updated lore below).

- Erin now has a comprehensive schedule, and will be seen going about a daily routine. Erin is a person, and also a citizen of Whiterun. I've always wanted Erin to be immersive, and have her own schedule from the start. It was my goal to not only make her blend in with the other citizens, but also make her stand out a bit as well. But since I was new to modding at the time, I didn't really know how to do a lot of the stuff that I recently implemented. Now she can be seen training in secret early in the morning behind Jorrvaskr, before sitting on one of the benches to relax, then browsing the market for a few hours and finishing her day with a drink at the Bannered Mare before going home to her bed roll in the bedroom in The Hall Of The Dead.

- Erin's looks have been changed and updated. This includes various minor tweaks, such as changing her complexion, mouth, eye type, etc. I have also redone her face, and added some scars, but tried to stay true to her original look. When I first created Erin, it was on a crappy Toshiba Laptop that could only run the game on low everything at 3 fps. As such, she came out looking okay in low-res, but like a potato at anything higher. Now that I have a good high quality PC, I can finally see her the way I've always wanted her to look.
