i feel like i dislike modded followers that attempt to have their own moral high ground and will leave you or become hostile to you if you join the thieves guild/dark brotherhood/volkihar clan because it's really rich for someone aiding the dragonborn in slaughtering literally hundreds of people just because they're bandits like it's nothing and raiding and pillaging tombs and killing the already subjugated falmer like they're beasts to suddenly take a big stand against a little thieving/assassination/blood sucking. bonus points if said follower also already participates in something considered abhorrent/taboo like casual use of necromancy spells and the like.

#like you literally have no moral high ground you helped me kill hundreds of people to level up and get loot #you cannot take a moral high ground in a game like this so it becomes janky and quite annoying when authors do this #and act like it makes theit follower better or more im depth. no i just dismiss your follower or kill them in self defense and go '#'well that was pointless' and continue playing the murder rpg #it just doesn't work in elder scrolls.#attempting to punish a player for playing a game that doesn't really punish the player in the same ways just doesn't work.#like im not a hater of games with moral quandaries but are you gonna do that in fucking skyrim.#the game that lets you aid ethnonstionalists or imperial colonialists in their bloody war.#and pretends both sides are a morally gray situation #the only follower mod that reasonably criticizes the player is julan #if the player joins the imperial cult and takes the quest to do missionary shit to ashlanders #bc you're literally oppressing his people right in front of him #THAT'S reasonable #not punishing a player for fucking. stealing shit #wanted to try the expanded lydia mod but didn't like that she will quit serving you if you join the thieves guild n shit #like really.#really?#that's what we're doing now?#again: so slaughtering bandits is okay but stealing from rich people is where we draw the line?#anyway.
