Unleash Chaos and Wit with a Mischievous Thalmor Ally in Skyrim Mod

A new mod has made it possible for Skyrim players to have a witty and sarcastic Thalmor companion by their side. The Elder Scrolls series has always been known for its rich lore, spanning across multiple games and providing players with an immersive experience. This is one of the reasons why The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim continues to be popular even years after its release.

However, the game's enduring success can also be attributed to its vibrant modding community. These dedicated fans have created countless mods that add new content to the game, including fully voiced followers with their own unique dialogues, making them stand out from other characters in the game.

Nexus Mods user Vanessa M has created a new mod for Skyrim fans called "The Thalmor's Shadow - Taliesin." This mod adds a Thalmor companion named Taliesin for the Dragonborn to recruit. Taliesin, voiced by actor and narrator Pat Mahoney, brings over 1,000 new lines to the game, written by both Mahoney and the mod creator. A video on the download page demonstrates Taliesin's abilities, showcasing his snarky comments delivered in a deadpan manner.

While the Thalmor are known as a brutal political force in the Elder Scrolls series, particularly in Skyrim, it may come as a surprise that someone would want a Thalmor follower. However, according to Vanessa M, Taliesin is looking for a fresh start and his journey with the Dragonborn is a way for him to atone for his past. The NPC is described as both graceful and passionate, with a tendency to be "terribly flirty and inappropriate." In summary, Taliesin appears to be an entertaining companion for adventures across the chilly province of Tamriel.

The Elder Scrolls 6 release date remains unknown, leaving fans eager for a new adventure. It has been a significant amount of time since the E3 2018 teaser footage, and players are hoping for an update soon. With Starfield set to release in September, Bethesda may finally provide some information on the next installment in their beloved fantasy franchise. In the meantime, players can enjoy The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim - Anniversary Edition, available on various platforms including PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
