A popular The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim modder with nearly 500,000 downloads has announced that they are stepping away from the modding scene despite putting "thousands of hours" into her masterwork – all as a result of harassment from the community.
Many of the 475,000 mod downloads amassed by modder Kukielle stem from her extremely detailed Skyrim follower mods. Of those, the most popular is Daegon and Kaeserius, "two custom-voiced followers with 6k+ lines that play off each other." The pair have intersecting combat capabilities, and were described by Kukielle as "my passion project," providing the player with a D&D or Baldur's Gate 3-style 'party' rather than standard followers.
