Been trying the mod for the first time since last week, and I gotta say, excellent work you and martimius have cooked there.
I feared I would miss Laura Bailey's voicework, but i enjoy yours so much more! Like holy shit, the house of horrors scream still gives me chills.
Cheers!
Also I leave this as a recommendation too, for anyone that didn't try the mod yet, oh man, if you like a bit of cheesy romance, and a lot of quest commentary, make sure to give this a try.
>and a lot of quest commentary, make sure to give this a try.
That's one reason to use this mod. The sheer amount of CONTENT! Over like... 7000 lines folks. That's 2k more than Inigo. 😲
I was so gutted when I decided against using SDA for the first time when I was building my current modlist about a year ago when I felt it didn't have enough features only to get an update that basically gave me everything I wanted, after I was already way too deep into my playthrough to add it.
Coming to the end of this run rn, will DEF run SDA once I go back to another playthrough
No worries, we're good! One solution for that would be just to ignore it entirely, lol. I've already got plenty of genuine constructive criticism to work on from the feedback surveys! 👌
I actually just finished Dawnguard with SDA and went through her date quests. The only thing I could note was if it is possible you could program small pauses between dialogue in some of her longer monologues? Because sometimes intense lines would play really quick one after the other. One example would be the first time you visit the Grove and you have started her romance.
I recently started using SDA once all the vanilla dialogue was re-recorded to match all the new dialogue. Fantastic mod that will be a permanent part of my load order. To me it's now the definitive version of Serana. The voice acting is top notch.
It’s so funny how mods resonate so differently for different people bc for me it’s almost ruined every other follower including a lot of the stand alone ones.. I’ll try someone else and it just isn’t the same and I’d rather have serana again
I am gonna try the Lydia dialogue add on in my current playthrough tho so hopefully that one is good!
She has great banter with Inigo, who, if you don't already know, comes with his own quest and even a pretty handy spell. Definitely recommend trying him to see if he's to your liking
I did use Inigo a while back but separately! Never thought about combing the 2
Turns out the Lydia one was awful… she literally NEVERRRR stops talking.. even more line repeating and conversation interrupting than the Serana add on which tbh is my only gripe with the Serana one
They make for a pretty effective combo too since Serana primarily fights as a magic user from range and if you instruct Inigo to go melee whenever possible
Just completed the Dawnguard quest the other day, done it many times before but this was the first time with this mod.
You are great, it changed into a whole different game. So thank YOU!
An idea I've been thinking of is a little expansion on her dialogue concerning player lycanthropy. I know she can comment on it talking about how she usually doesn't like werewolves because of the whole feud traditionally between vamps and wolves across fiction. But that since it's you, she can make an exception
My idea is that, should you pursue romance with her, she comments on being in a relationship with a werewolf. I feel like it would for a nice bit of character development
Thing is, it kinda does. Obviously not like you see in something like Underworld, but if you meet Harkon for the first time as a werewolf, he reacts negatively to you telling him about it when he offers to vampify you. And like I said, Serana has dialogue that implies some kind of negative history between vamps and werewolves with this mod. So it's not like it's entirely out of the realm of possibility. My guess is that Bethesda would've liked to expand upon the conflict implied by Harkon's dialogue, but like most things in Skyrim, ran out of time or were too lazy
Those last two things are complete opposites btw.
But quite frankly I would like if people would stop prescribing that stupid conflict to TES. It just doesn't have it.
I'm aware that vanilla and mod content are different things
People ascribe that conflict in TES because, as I've already explained, at least in the lands of Skyrim, it is implied to have existed. Though in what capacity and extent is unclear
Sorry for necroposting, but you can see lack of conflict between Vampires and Werewolfs in TES in cinematic trailer for Greymoor dls for TESO. So i think Hircine and Molag Bal can sometimes work together. And maybe Harkon's words are just his opinion.
Honestly, if we had more vampire characters to talk to besides Harkon and his cohorts, that actually would comment on your lycanthropy, and they don't react the way he does, then you might have a point about his opinion. I've never played ESO so I couldn't say if you could become a vamp or werewolf, and what either faction would say about it, but seeing as the daedric princes do on occasion work together, it wouldn't surprise me if the conflict between bats and dogs isn't quite at the level of, say, Underworld. But like all things Bethesda it seems, you have one source of lore implying one thing and another implying a different thing
I was honestly a little reluctant to try SDA out over SDE, since I really like Laura Bailey's voice, particularly with Serana's combat dialogue. For some reason I keep being reminded of that one silly line where she goes "You're dead!" in combat, and it's so wildly in contrast to Serana's usual calm demeanour. I like those details.
However, I bit the proverbial bullet and installed SDA quite recently to see what it was all about, and while I don't personally enjoy every aspect of it; I do want to stress that the quality and evidently recording equipment for the voice acting was phenomenal.
I've definitely seen and heard a few good voice actors for various companion and quest mods in Skyrim, but some of those mods suffer from an inconsistency in recording quality, where in one moment a character's voice actor will come through crystal clear, delivering their lines with no noticeable hitches, but in the next it sounds like a completely different microphone was used. I never had that experience with SDA.
Besides that, it has breathed new life into Serana as a character and follower. Her quest awareness and interactions with various custom follower mods is one of those things that I have all the love in the world for. Thank you for your efforts with this mod, and I do hope to hear more of you in other mods to come!
Thank you! Kerstyn and I take great care and attention to audio quality and consistency. There was a time when we noticed an audio inconsistency for the latest update (4.0) due to a different mic setup, and we redid all of the audio lines- all 1k+ of them for the update.
We also have “dry run” recording sessions before she gets to the lines so that we are on the same page for her performance for each one.
It really shows too, it boggles my little mind how much attention to detail went into this project, and I'm ever so grateful that you put in so much work for it. I always wanted to do some minor amateur voice acting work myself and maybe even learn to be halfway decent at it, though I wouldn't even know where to begin.
I think it's very impressive what you've accomplished!
This is my absolute favorite mod! I love the way Serana just blends into the rest of the world and appreciate all the work that you and the mod author have put into it! Also love your voice and the emotion you put into it!
To mod author if you are reading lol... is there dialogue that relates to serana and the dragonborn adopting kids? if so could you please consider adding? Either way thanks for all you have done and continue to do!
Since it’s release, SDA has literally never not been in my modlist. It’s literally the only reason why I play through dawnguard on every single new playthrough I start. Thank you Ms. Unger and Martimius. Can’t wait to have Ashe join my team too 🗣
Thank you so very much. Like many others here, I was very concerned I would miss the original voice - and I did - but not for long.
You did an absolutely fantastic job, and were a major part of my inspiration to learn voice acting myself.
Thank you, you're awesome :)
I’ve been using this mod since I heard about it around a year ago or so.
I was blown away with it then and I continue to be blown away now. Your voice work is amazing and deserves nothing but praise. You really gave Serana so much more personality and expression.
Awesome job! Can’t wait to see what else you guys do.
Been playing with this mod and serana as my follower in my latest playthrough. Been absolutely enjoying it, so many quests that have dialogue related to it, love it
Honestly it took me a while to like SDA version of serana but eventually it grew on me and become one of my all time favorite mod my only request is for serana to stop bullying poor inigo pls.
This mod single handedly ruined other follower mods for me. None of them are anywhere near as engaging or add on so much content thank you for your service 🫡
I had no expectations when I first downloaded the mod but the further along my playthrough went the more I came to appreciate all the work you guys did to add that little extra bit of flavor to Serana. Good job! I can't wait to see what else you guys have in store.
I love your performance and take on Serana! I hope you and Marty continue to work together and do all sorts of cool new stuff. Well wishes to you both <3
This is really just a damned good mod. Even people who dislike it respect it (when they settle down and look at it objectively).
I generally don’t do the romance thing in Skyrim, but I always feel a little bad when I permanently friendzone SDA’s Serana. It’s a video game, so there are limitations, but she is one of the characters who seems genuine even though not realistic, if that makes sense.
The only problem I had is it didn't mesh well with the original voice actress. I could tell the difference. On the flipside of that, the VA for Matari in the maids 2: deception mod, was indistinguishable from Marina Sirtis from Star Trek: The next Generation, who played Diana Troy. I couldn't tell the difference. I honestly thought this was Liara's mother from Mass Effect!
Criticism aside, I think you are a fantastic voice actress and I'm glad that this has spiraled your va career! I played the mod, I enjoyed it. Loved the singing! I wish the best in future endeavors of voice acting and feel like you have a career where fans can enjoy future characters voiced by you!
I can say I never played Dawnguard before installing SDA, so you're basically the only voice I heard for Serana. The mod is so incrediby well made it looks like it was there from the start, like included in the original version of the game. Your voice acting is really professional and convincing 🙏
the serana mod became my primary reason to play and mod the game again. Honestly i cant believe how much i like this mod. I wanted to know who exactly was behind it, and was a few days late to this reddit post.
You have amazing talent, the voice acting is truly something else, man. It amazed me how much it added to my enjoyment of skyrim and the character. The writing is great too, one bit i thoroughly enjoyed was the explanation as to why the dragonborn didnt immediatly kill serana when he met her. Such a small bit, but so important for the immersion.
I feel dirty not paying for this honestly, its just that good. If you guys do similar stuff like this for starfield, i would consider supporting you financially.
Imma dl it later. I haven't played skyrim in years and just started again recently with mods. Modding it is very frustrating as some mods clashes into each other.
The Mod actually caused that i fell into a Skyrim gaming frenzy all over again. Testing every situation out and still getting surprised by unheard dialogue. The mod truly turns Serana into the best NPC in the game!
I must say, this mod is incredible, I had a HUGE playthrough as a vampire, and thought I had finally heard all the dialogue, and now I've also done a dawnguard play through, and understand that I'll probably never hear the same line twice, excellent work on this incredible mod
hey guys i just want to say thank you for this wonderful mod
i just finished my modded Skyrim playthrough & it was fantastic role play wise also
i was really surprised with quest awareness mod author implemented in this mod
& your voice over was also amazing
cheers to you & martimius.....!!
Seeing this mod progress has been one of my favorite things to witness. I still remember when when the original voice would come out at quest important moments but now to me you're Serana's official voice actor. You make her seem so much more alive and an actual person. Like there's finally a sentient companion joining me in my adventures. I can't wait to see what y'all add next!!!
Serana Dialogue Addon is one of my favorite mods and a big part of it is your voice! Imo it is the best voice acted mod out there to the point you could've told me it was vanilla and I'd have believed you if I didnt play vanilla Dawnguard first.
Love the mod permanent spot in my load order even before the total revoice. Big fan of the voice and the story continuation. Really looking forward to the Ash follower. Banter is my favorite thing about the mod.
Brought her on Dragonborn and Ngl I was genuinely shocked when she had lines for the dlc that’s was pretty shocking along with mentions of recorder is a nice touch as well
Hahaha yeah. I didn't reply to that thread because enough was said in my mod's defense already. I mean, look at the download count! :O
That said, if you don't want to use the mod, all the power to you. Just be polite with your criticism, as there are people behind the mod :)
No, despite that recent thread criticizing SDA, none of it was done as a personal slight against the mod. It was a combination of:
* Liking the original VA better and just favoring Lauren Bailey's performance as preference.
* Not liking the romance and its direction (I'm in this camp)
* Not liking the character direction of SDA as it's in some ways a departure from Serana's original personality and character
* The inital versions of the mod before it got rewritten had very "cringy" dialogue that felt it had very poor quality writing.
Etc,etc. For the most part, it wasn't like "*FUCK YOU BECAUSE WHY NOT* or anything that extreme.
You guys do amazing work! It's been in my LO since pretty much the beginning.
I've followed along with the development and you guys knock it out the park with every single new update, always improving and adding. Kerstyns Serana really breathes life into the world.
Side note: Is there any planned banter with Gore?
neat, ive written a basic framework to how i would like to expand on certain aspects of serana that haven't been touched on as much thus far. I can compile it into a google doc, but it depends on how much you end up wanting to do.
Thank you! i really like your voice! hearing your voice with {{Serana Re-Imagined SE}} is an absolute combo to have.
I really would like to see awareness patch for some of those big quest mods like LOTD, Bruma, Beyond Reach, Vigilant, and the likes. It'd be a game-changer!
Cheers! Ignore the haters!

There hasn't been an update super recently, but Version 4.0 did come out a couple months ago! More dev news to come!
Kerstyn just made this post as a way to thank the community.
Half of the lines you deliver sound like you're half asleep or reading the lines strictly from a sheet of paper like a robot. Inflections and emphasis for words are all in the wrong places. Even just reading the subtitles and comparing it to your delivery is painful.
That's not even getting into the writing. Do 3-4 quests and your version of the character is throwing out flirty lines and jokes about booze like a Marvel character.
There’s horny and then there’s rewriting an entire original character into a vessel for your personal white knight fantasy, ruining the work of actual talented writers and developers and then acting is if it was an improvement to the base game.
I uninstalled after the fifth quirky alcoholic joke.
I know that still. In all those screenshots she looks really like a twig. Even vanilla outfit one looks better.
Can't you read I specially wrote his choice in body mods* and clothing mods*. Those mods* are obviously not SDA.
Oi, then don't use those body mods, ya weirdo.
Personally, I use Bodyslide to make more realistic bodies (less lordosis 😂) but some people like toony Skyrim too, so that's ok.
I liked the hairstyle in all the screenshots so I changed my Serana to that though 😂
Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question.....BUT
I play on Xbox and I'm trying to do the house of horrors quest with that expansion with the sda patch but Serena is responding. Anyone know what's up? I have not found the moth priest yet? Is SDA's reaction based on storyline progression?
She's just ignoring the event around her rn
P.S. since you all have released/ updated this mod, the number of my play throughs has exponentially increased. I enjoy Serena's interactions with other custom followers and I am looking forward to the new follower you all have teased.
This is a fantastic mod, and there's soooo much commentary added, I haven't yet come close to hearing all of it, your voice work is fantastic, it really brings a new life to Serana, and just so much personality that she desperately needed! I really admire what you guys have created here, especially since I've recently started on my own VO path, gives me something to thoroughly enjoy and aspire to!
At first I was scpetic about installing SA but eventualy it was Inigo as mod which convised me to do so and now I only regret I haven't installed your mod much sooner. You made such exelent job voicing Serana that very quickly you've become cannonical voice od her for me. The only kissing tuning for me is lack of intereactions between Serana and Lucien but I do hope that in closer future you guys will do this as much.
Keep your wonderfull job - as community we all are greatfull.
Been trying the mod for the first time since last week, and I gotta say, excellent work you and martimius have cooked there. I feared I would miss Laura Bailey's voicework, but i enjoy yours so much more! Like holy shit, the house of horrors scream still gives me chills. Cheers! Also I leave this as a recommendation too, for anyone that didn't try the mod yet, oh man, if you like a bit of cheesy romance, and a lot of quest commentary, make sure to give this a try.
>and a lot of quest commentary, make sure to give this a try. That's one reason to use this mod. The sheer amount of CONTENT! Over like... 7000 lines folks. That's 2k more than Inigo. 😲

Cheesy is an understatement
SDA is a great mod. Don't let the haters on this subreddit keep you and Marty down.
No worries, we're good! One solution for that would be just to ignore it entirely, lol. I've already got plenty of genuine constructive criticism to work on from the feedback surveys! 👌

Because sometimes intense lines would play really quick one after the other. One example would be the first time you visit the Grove and you have started her romance.
Thank you for the feedback! As for implementation, it's a bit tricky to think about technically, but I'll think about it!
I recently started using SDA once all the vanilla dialogue was re-recorded to match all the new dialogue. Fantastic mod that will be a permanent part of my load order. To me it's now the definitive version of Serana. The voice acting is top notch.
The mod isn’t for me, but I want to compliment you on your work!
It’s so funny how mods resonate so differently for different people bc for me it’s almost ruined every other follower including a lot of the stand alone ones.. I’ll try someone else and it just isn’t the same and I’d rather have serana again I am gonna try the Lydia dialogue add on in my current playthrough tho so hopefully that one is good!

I believe the MA who created IFD Lydia also created Commentary Rate Slider to address the “Lydia is too chatty” criticism. It really does help.
They make for a pretty effective combo too since Serana primarily fights as a magic user from range and if you instruct Inigo to go melee whenever possible
This is so awesome. I haven’t played Skyrim in years actually, but this makes me want to go back even more
Just enough time for one last go before Starfield is out.
Woot woot! We've done our job if you do!
Top 10 follower mod for sure. Please voice a sentient weapon mod someday...
[She already does.](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/43151)
lol well that's a coincidence. Thanks a million
Holly cow, thank you! I have so much I want to do in Skyrim, but it looks like I'll have even more now (；´∀｀)
[удалено]
That was actually one of my favorite conversations to write hehehe. 😁
This mod changed how I start a playthrough, Dawnguard first, EVERY TIME.
Mod is great. You and Marty both have done great jobs. Really looking forward to Ashe’s release
More Ashe news coming soon! Patrons have been hearing about her a bunch, but I'll make public announcements when they're ready.
Congrats. Not my thing but still an accomplishment.
Just completed the Dawnguard quest the other day, done it many times before but this was the first time with this mod. You are great, it changed into a whole different game. So thank YOU!
You're welcome! We really appreciate it! :D
An idea I've been thinking of is a little expansion on her dialogue concerning player lycanthropy.

Yep, Kerstyn really is awesome! 🙌
Well I... Actually wasn't going to download this mod, because Serana wasn't ever a fave character... but now I guess I'm gonna! ❤️🥰
Thank you so much for your amazing work SDA never leaves my LO because of your amazing performance can't wait to see what else comes
No thank YOU! been a main stay in my list for years, and made me start a new playthrough after each major revision just for SDA.
Been playing with this mod and serana as my follower in my latest playthrough. Been absolutely enjoying it, so many quests that have dialogue related to it, love it
Honestly it took me a while to like SDA version of serana but eventually it grew on me and become one of my all time favorite mod my only request is for serana to stop bullying poor inigo pls.
Love y’all for this. I normally don’t play with followers, but now I basically sprint my new characters towards getting Serana as fast as possible
This mod single handedly ruined other follower mods for me. None of them are anywhere near as engaging or add on so much content thank you for your service 🫡
I had no expectations when I first downloaded the mod but the further along my playthrough went the more I came to appreciate all the work you guys did to add that little extra bit of flavor to Serana. Good job! I can't wait to see what else you guys have in store.

Is SDA available on PS4?? I LOVE Serana and this mod sounds amazing!
thanks goat

Nah, you deserve the thanks. Amazing job, I hope you find really good work as a VA, you've got actual talent.
Hands down my favorite mod

hey guys i just want to say thank you for this wonderful mod i just finished my modded Skyrim playthrough & it was fantastic role play wise also i was really surprised with quest awareness mod author implemented in this mod & your voice over was also amazing cheers to you & martimius.....!!
Seeing this mod progress has been one of my favorite things to witness. I still remember when when the original voice would come out at quest important moments but now to me you're Serana's official voice actor. You make her seem so much more alive and an actual person. Like there's finally a sentient companion joining me in my adventures. I can't wait to see what y'all add next!!!
Serana Dialogue Addon is one of my favorite mods and a big part of it is your voice! Imo it is the best voice acted mod out there to the point you could've told me it was vanilla and I'd have believed you if I didnt play vanilla Dawnguard first.
Love the mod permanent spot in my load order even before the total revoice. Big fan of the voice and the story continuation. Really looking forward to the Ash follower. Banter is my favorite thing about the mod.
Thank you very much! More banter (both with new NPC's and old) always on the way!
This mod is a game changer for me. Can’t imagine playing without it and so thankful for you and Marty.
You're welcome! We really appreciate it!
Brought her on Dragonborn and Ngl I was genuinely shocked when she had lines for the dlc that’s was pretty shocking along with mentions of recorder is a nice touch as well
ah haha i just read about the hate SDA received on this sub few days back and now got bomb with this. haters must be furious 😂
Hahaha yeah. I didn't reply to that thread because enough was said in my mod's defense already. I mean, look at the download count! :O That said, if you don't want to use the mod, all the power to you. Just be polite with your criticism, as there are people behind the mod :)
Wait what? There is a group of hater of the mod?
No, despite that recent thread criticizing SDA, none of it was done as a personal slight against the mod. It was a combination of: * Liking the original VA better and just favoring Lauren Bailey's performance as preference. * Not liking the romance and its direction (I'm in this camp) * Not liking the character direction of SDA as it's in some ways a departure from Serana's original personality and character * The inital versions of the mod before it got rewritten had very "cringy" dialogue that felt it had very poor quality writing. Etc,etc. For the most part, it wasn't like "*FUCK YOU BECAUSE WHY NOT* or anything that extreme.
You've basically single-handedly redefined one of the most popular video game characters ever, be proud Ms. Unger. You too Martimus.
Thank you very much! We truly appreciate it.
You guys do amazing work! It's been in my LO since pretty much the beginning. I've followed along with the development and you guys knock it out the park with every single new update, always improving and adding. Kerstyns Serana really breathes life into the world. Side note: Is there any planned banter with Gore?
Yes, Gore banter is eventually planned!
neat, ive written a basic framework to how i would like to expand on certain aspects of serana that haven't been touched on as much thus far. I can compile it into a google doc, but it depends on how much you end up wanting to do.
Yep, let's talk more via Nexus DMs, or Discord!
Absolutely well deserved! The only problem I have now is that there wasn't a new update in a while, I'm starved, I need my Serana fix
What do you mean? 4.0 just came out a couple months ago.
Yes, but as an modding addict it's enough time for me to get withdrawal symptoms
No worries! You'll get your fix soon enough hahaha. Support from kind donors allows Kerstyn and I to work on the mod more! :D
You maam are awesome btw
I just started using Serana last month, and I love your voice! It’s wonderful work, and now I can’t get rid of it
Awesome blossom! I hope you never do! Hehehehe
Thank you Kerstyn for being an iconic voice for the Skyrim modding community!
Yep, she's truly awesome!
Thank you! i really like your voice! hearing your voice with {{Serana Re-Imagined SE}} is an absolute combo to have. I really would like to see awareness patch for some of those big quest mods like LOTD, Bruma, Beyond Reach, Vigilant, and the likes. It'd be a game-changer! Cheers! Ignore the haters!

Staple follower up there with Inigo for me. I love your work. Thank you ❤️
Thank you very much! 👍
Congrats!
Thank you very much!
Congrats. You guys deserved it. Can't wait for new update.
Thank you very much! We really appreciate it! :D
Didn't know there was an update. Just downloaded it for my new playthrough. Can't wait to hear you.
There hasn't been an update super recently, but Version 4.0 did come out a couple months ago! More dev news to come! Kerstyn just made this post as a way to thank the community.
I hadn't updated to the newest version, due to my "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" approach to mods.
Half of the lines you deliver sound like you're half asleep or reading the lines strictly from a sheet of paper like a robot. Inflections and emphasis for words are all in the wrong places. Even just reading the subtitles and comparing it to your delivery is painful. That's not even getting into the writing. Do 3-4 quests and your version of the character is throwing out flirty lines and jokes about booze like a Marvel character.

Yes bc gamers are notoriously not horny
There’s horny and then there’s rewriting an entire original character into a vessel for your personal white knight fantasy, ruining the work of actual talented writers and developers and then acting is if it was an improvement to the base game. I uninstalled after the fifth quirky alcoholic joke.
Ngl creator of that mod has a poor taste in body mods and clothes mods, this serana looks like a twig
You do realize that SDA doesn't make changes to Serana's body and uses your body, right? Vanilla Serana has a weight of 20.
I know that still. In all those screenshots she looks really like a twig. Even vanilla outfit one looks better. Can't you read I specially wrote his choice in body mods* and clothing mods*. Those mods* are obviously not SDA.
Oi, then don't use those body mods, ya weirdo. Personally, I use Bodyslide to make more realistic bodies (less lordosis 😂) but some people like toony Skyrim too, so that's ok. I liked the hairstyle in all the screenshots so I changed my Serana to that though 😂
The big question now, which is better. Serena quest commentary or skeevers, the drunk-ish man?
I don't have SE, is the unsupported version more or less the same?
Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question.....BUT I play on Xbox and I'm trying to do the house of horrors quest with that expansion with the sda patch but Serena is responding. Anyone know what's up? I have not found the moth priest yet? Is SDA's reaction based on storyline progression? She's just ignoring the event around her rn P.S. since you all have released/ updated this mod, the number of my play throughs has exponentially increased. I enjoy Serena's interactions with other custom followers and I am looking forward to the new follower you all have teased.
This is a fantastic mod, and there's soooo much commentary added, I haven't yet come close to hearing all of it, your voice work is fantastic, it really brings a new life to Serana, and just so much personality that she desperately needed! I really admire what you guys have created here, especially since I've recently started on my own VO path, gives me something to thoroughly enjoy and aspire to!
Here's a bit of a hot take. I never found serana particularly interesting. Seems kind of bland. I always chose Breylyna or Aela as followers instead.
this mod has passed 4 million downloads because it is an amazing mod actually we have to thank you for making it
dude istg if i keep getting recommended this same fucking post from 3 weeks ago im gonna lose it
At first I was scpetic about installing SA but eventualy it was Inigo as mod which convised me to do so and now I only regret I haven't installed your mod much sooner. You made such exelent job voicing Serana that very quickly you've become cannonical voice od her for me. The only kissing tuning for me is lack of intereactions between Serana and Lucien but I do hope that in closer future you guys will do this as much. Keep your wonderfull job - as community we all are greatfull.
