I also big fan of her but aela the hunterness is my favorite follower nice video hope u make great video's

i figured that dub in the start of the video sounded weird... and her absolutely shattering the ""immersion"" of the first College quest isn't that attractive of a mod feature... but her talking to herself is cool

Auri and serana?

What this mod does well is exactly why Baldur's Gate 3 was the first game to win every major GOTY award. There are only a handful of scenarios that aren't accounted for. Starfield is why I don't have faith in Bethesda anymore. They don't have the ambition they had when they made Morrowind anymore.

Long story short: "FUCK MOLAG BAL! ALL MY HOMIES HATE MOLAG BAL!"

Serena’s dialogue mod takes a character that Bethesda actually put effort into and combined it with a script that enhanced her character traits with a voice actress who nailed it. The product? Your practically required to download this mod regardless of wether or not you wanted to marry her because it was such a fantastic expansion to her character

Nice Video. Making the comparison I think the Bethesda side of things never really had good companions. Sure Fallout 4 finally kind of really put them in there, but to be honest the only one I would say was quality would have been Nick as they really flushed him out further with Far Harbor. *I mean I like Curie, but I am a Francophile so sue me. That said I ain't going to pretend there is much depth there or with any of the other vanilla companions The Lucien mod for Skyrim though is soooo well done, so it's nice to hear of other really good ones like this. Will defiantly have to check it out. I also remember hearing and seeing one for Lydia which was actually supposed to be really well done. **Talking about Fallout 4 though the Heather Casdin mod is one of the best follower mods I have seen as well so if you are looking for Fallout 4 stuff can not recommend highly enough.

Eh, Remiel and Xelzaz are way better than SDA imo. Even Gore, though he is almost as corny as SDA. But his Vigilant add-on is just spot on.

I really want a mod about a Male Argonian followed with a really cool storyline

“Smash next question.”

That’s why in my current ultimate SkyrimVR playthrough she’s my ultimate companion, not inigo, not Lydia, but Serana, she really feels like developers wanted for her to be final and only one companion

I found this mod when I first started playing Skyrim, and it has been in all of my mod list ever since then, and that was 4yrs ago, yest right after the mod first came out, and I am loving all the additions that the mod author has incorporated into it.

SDA is a favorite of mine. It's fantastic.

I love this mod! Kerstyn Unger's voice acting is such a great asset to Skyrim modding. There's only one problem with it... See, I also use IFD Lydia (voiced by Kerstyn), and PC Head Tracking and Voice Type with the made from scratch for the mod Lucina voice pack (voiced by Kerstyn). So, in my game, Kerstyn Unger and her best friend, Kerstyn Unger, are on a quest to stop the vampire menace, and Kerstyn Unger's housecarl, Kerstyn Unger, aids them in this noble task. 😂

Trying to download this on my xbox series x.. but i see two main options.. both made by Martimius. First ones name: SERANA DIALOGUE ADD-ON [OLD, NEW VERSION IN DESCRIPTION] Which is 115MBs Second ones name: SERANA DIALOGUE ADD-ON [XBOX] VERSION 4.1 which is 211MBs. Which should i do?! The first? The second? Or do i need both? 😮 EDIT: since that comment took a minute to type out ... i started the video over and noticed... the "face model/head model" of your Serana at 1:15 is the same one as the previously mentioned "second mod name" 's thumbnail😮 the 200+mb one. So i think im downloading the correct one😅

A Serena Waifu mod. TAKE MY MONEY!!!

This mod made my entire last playthrough. I was in the bannard mare getting contracts and Sophia says she's going to get some drinks for herself and you all. And I'm "Oh, neat, they added some new dialogue." And then my jaw goes slack as Serana responds to Sophia BY NAME and makes a snarky remark. They start ribbing each other and INIGO has to break up the fight. And I'm sitting there taking screenshots to send to my buddies as proof of what had just happened. After that Sophia, Serana, Inigo, and another male modded follower (can't remember his name) had regular chats, and I just couldn't stop myself from smiling cause it felt like traveling with a group of actual people. Unfortunately it made the rest of Skyrim (and poor M'rissi who was also with us.) seem stilted by comparison.

It's a little too flirty and on-the-nose, and the voice actor is doing some weird inflection quirk as if she is trying to be somewhat seductive. If the mod stuck to Serana's actual character instead of changing her completely, and the VA dropped the weird tone, it would be an amazing addition. Sadly, those things are probably part of what makes it popular in certain... groups of people.

Agree

I was waiting for the Fus Ro Dah and it never came. 10/10 video otherwise.

My favorite part of this mod is that it adds interactions with Sofia, another popular follower mod, and they do not like each other, specially Serana, she finds Sofia as annoying as I do... but I just can't help but bring her along just for the interaction...

I stumbled upon this mod while overhauling my entire Skyrim modlist and it honestly has taken over all of my playthroughs. It's beyond well designed, speaking as a Fallout 4 fan, this follower mod puts that developed system (definitely inspired by vanilla Serana in the first place) to shame. People complaining that it changes her character too much or isn't lore friendly don't know about the FAQ section on Martimus mods. Serana in vanilla Dawnguard has a unique flag that no other follower or NPC has in the game. something along the lines of "romantic follower". Hinting that Bethesda definitely intended for Serana to possibly be more developed like how we saw followers in fallout 4. With radiant powered dialogue, awareness, opinions, and potentially personal quests or romance options. But wasn't able to finalize development in time. So these concepts got shelved for Dawnguard, but were polished during the development of Fallout 4. Making SDA honestly, very lore friendly (depending on your settings and modlist) and completely justified.

Well idk, my favourite mod in anything ever gotta be Star Wars in X4 but this one is surely one of the good ones for Skyrim.

i think this mod with the lydia extended dialogue mod and havign mods for more then one follower they will both talk to each other as well as you both are great mods

*sees cool looking skyrim video, 2 years after not playing anymore, clicks it* *sees serana being even more intriguing and actually very charming and interesting* *sighs* *downloads skyrim again* IT SUCKED OVER 3000HOURS OF MY TIME ALLREADY, AND EVEN AFTER 10 YEARS OF PLAYING IT WILL NEVER LEAVE ME ALONE FOR LONG

4:28 Oooh, that's why the scene before felt so off. I thought I just forgot what she sounded like as it has been like a decade, but nope. Unfortunately, the change of VA absolutely kills this mod for me. Not saying Kerstyn didn't do a good job, but that it is physically impossible to listen to it without wishing for the OG voice back. Does the mod at least have a silent version?

The only good character in Skyrim

Recently when I was adventurin with Serana, she said "Hi, Evie", and at first I didn't pay much mind to it since I just figured it as her normal chatter to one of my other companions. But then I remembered that my character's name is Evie and was like "😮"

I may reinstall Skyrim. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. And please keep on making videos! I like your essayist style

Her and Inigo together is amazing, love their banter

7:43 This song is from 3DNPC's and is just so amazing when the OG bard sings it, ngl, it feels weird to hear serana singing it, but a good bit of continuation if you play with both mods installed

She's the favorite character because she's the only character in TES with a personality.

Yeah this mod sucks because you cooked with this video

Just rode two hours in super strong wind on a little 250. On the way there I was terrified, doing 80km/hour. I stopped halfway to take a break. On the way back the biggest thing that helped me was gripping the tank tighter, and just ever so gently resting my hands on the handlebars, so that my body jerking wasn’t translating to the wheels. I even had a less extreme tuck, was way more comfortable, and had a great ride.

Serana with the dialogue add on + multiple followers + Inigo, Auri, Lucian, Kaiden, Sophia and modded Lydia = best team a Dragonborn can fight with

The one constant mod across all my modlists. She just feels so... tangible. Like an actual developed character who grows and learns, rather than the normal planks of wood your Skyrim companions are. It helps that she's got a great personality and is easy to get along with. I always play the "good guy", so it's interesting to watch my essentially Paladin interact with a thoughtful Vampire.

So she comments on all the faction quests now? Does that also include the entire base main story of Skyrim AND the Dragonborn DLC? Because hearing her observations on Alduin and Miraak would be amazing.

Lydia best girl

Hello, i am a follower from french-guiana, nice video !

Great idea of a mod. But I can never run it. In fact, I despise it, as it removes Laura Bailey's angelic voice in exchange for someone... not to par. Laura Bailey is Serana. No-one else can substitute her.

I am doing my part!

Serana did a Jojo reference and I was never the same man

Hold on id recognize that voice anywhere....you're Skarlet for FO4 aren't you? I love that mod more than serana.

Never understood why they made the best follower in the gane that falls in love with you but you can marry her and she rezes everyone i kill before i can loot them lol

but... is she compatible with Inigo?

This was such a cute video, bless your gay little heart! :P

So, Shadowheart Prototype?

Empress Serana of Cyrodiil, wife of the new Dragonborn Emperor

SDA is thorough, but it is not Serena the daughter of Coldharbour from Bethesda. It's not the Serena that we know, or grew up with. I'd also argue that it's just not Serena, personality wise, and voice wise. SDA Serena seems way more sultry and less soft spoken. Obviously, no hate to the sda VA, but it's just not Serena. It's more so a fan-fiction project, or a 'take,' if you want to be frank.

I like how they added a Hollywood-esque algorithm that makes it so Serana/Zelda actually says "Hey Link."
