One thing I forgot to mention is that the follower functions for Interesting NPC's conflicts with the mod AFT:Amazing Follower Tweaks, which is too bad. I really like AFT and it still works well with most followers, until you try to dismiss them permanently - they basically stalk you
I had to Disable one of the NPC's because the dialogue to dismiss her disappeared once I did it the first time, but she never stopped following. Also, some of the new quests that pop up may have an issue with the compass/map marker. It doesn't happen all the time, but when you have already visited a spot, even though the quest directs you back to it, the compass arrow won't show up, so you'll have to re-locate it on the map. So far those are the only quirks I've found with these.
Also, my apologies for filling up this topic with Skyrim mod posts.
It's really meant for folks to post what they are playing. Unfortunately, I can't move individual replies, so I'm going to copy/paste my longer posting to another topic dealing with Skyrim mods so we can get this one back on track.
