Coldsun’s – The Iceheart Sisters – LE by Xtudo v1.0
My ported and tweaked version of the beautiful mod made by coldsun1187, Jobiwan and Socalista.
This mod has two followers, Anja Iceheart and her sister, Kelsa Iceheart. Both mods are voiced by real actresses. There are around 1,000 lines between the two sisters.
Location
– You can find them wandering around Whiterun. At night they share tales and drink with the Companions.
Backstory
The Iceheart Sisters are twin (not identical) sisters who were found on the northern shores of Skyrim when they were infants. They were raised in the area around Dawnstar under the care of a rather famous bounty hunter named Varg One-Eye. It was clear from a young age that the sisters were different. The people of Dawnstar loved them greatly, but also feared their latent magical abilities. Scholars visited them and declared that they were only part human, with the other part being… something else. Whatever their heritage, they both had innate abilities with frost magic. Anja displayed skill with frost spells and Kelsa using frost to enhance her strength and martial skills.Varg not only became their foster-father, he taught them all he knew about the business of bounty hunting. For years the two sisters went on missions with their foster-father, helping him complete his bounty quests. When they came of an age to work on their own, the sisters bought a mill in Riften Hold and converted it to a tavern and base of operations for their bounty hunting business. A few years ago, Varg went missing on a mission to Solstheim.
Fully-Voiced Followers
Anja Iceheart and Kelsa Iceheart. Anja is voiced by the renowned VA of Ivy of Fallout 4 fame, Kitt Nevada (KittenVox). Kelsa is voiced by the lovely and talented Ophelia Valentine, a Twitch streamer and Youtuber.
Romance System
– As soon as you finish the brief introduction quest for each sister, the romance quest starts.
– You can romance both sisters, but only marry one of them.
– The sister(s) must be following the player for the romance to proceed. If you dismiss them, the romance is paused.
– In order to advance stages of the romance, you must spend time with them.
– There are 4 stages of the romance. Friend, Confidant, Lover, and Spouse.
– Each stage takes 7 in-game days to advance. Again, they must be grouped with you for the timer to move forward.
– Once you reach the 4th stage with one or both sisters, you can ask one of them to marry you.
– When you marry one of sisters, the other sister’s romance quest is stopped and the player’s romance stage is returned to stage 2 – confidant. No, the sisters don’t want to share their husband or wife, but will remain close friends with their sister’s husband or wife.
– You will notice more loving dialogue from the sisters as the stages progress.
– When you marry a sister, you gain a permanent perk/buff (listed below). Each sister provides a different buff related to their frost-heritage.
Summoning Spell Lesser Power
After the introduction quest for each sister, you will immediately be given a spell (not a book) to summon them. This is a lesser power type spell which can be cast at will with nearly no mana cost.
Follow Close Move To Behavior
By default each sister is set to stay close to the player. If the player moves more than 3200 units away, the sister will immediately teleport to the player’s side. This prevent either sister from getting stuck or lost from the player. Obviously, this feature is turned off when you tell them to wait or dismiss them. You can also completely turn this feature off through a dialogue menu setting if you don’t like it.
Set Home and Move
You can tell either sister where to live, as long as it is indoors. They will live there and go back there when you tell them to head home. After you set their home, you can tell them to move if you want to change their home to a new location, and the home will reset and allow you to pick a new home.
Outfit System
Each sister has three outfits you can tell them to wear. They have a sleep outfit, a home outfit, and an adventure outfit. These outfits can be set through a dialogue menu. Once you tell them to wear the outfit they will put what you have chosen for them on. They will not automatically switch outfits based on the condition like sleep or home, you must switch manually. That said, I may expand upon this feature in the future, but at least now you don’t need another mod to manage their outfits.
ANJA ICEHEART
Anja is a Frost Witch. She can be a little abrasive at times, but she is actually extremely caring. She is the brains of the duo, and a solid tactician. She loves her sister more than anything else and is often a little overprotective. She doesn’t give her heart easily, but when she does so, she gives everything. As a Frost Witch, Anja’s skills reside in Destruction, Restoration, and Conjuration. She specializes in frost magic, obviously. She has skills in stealth and light armor as well. Anja has a low cost Frost Cloak she uses during combat. She also has some special perks:
Frostborn Mage: Frost spells increase weakness to frost by 35% for 30 seconds for typically frost-resistant races.
The Frost King’s Blessing: Frost damage increases if a filled soul gem is in inventory. 1 Greater Soul Gem = 15% increase, 10 Grand Soul Gems = 50%, 5 Black Soul Gems = 100%.
IceBlaze: Anja’s unique frost dagger that does extra frost damage on hit. Thanks Gonzeh84 for converting this to Skyrim for the mod.
When Anja is married, her spouse will receive the Mantle of the Frost King perk (see Kelsa below).
KELSA ICEHEART
Kelsa is a Frost Barbarian. She is the more naive and outgoing sister, often getting into trouble through sheer innocence. She is very friendly and still mending from a broken heart. She looks up to her sister and will do anything to help her. She is the brawn of the bounty hunting duo. As a Frost Barbarian, Kelsa’s skills reside in Two-handed Weapons (especially warhammers), Heavy Armor and Blocking. She does have some inherent frost magic, and like Anja she can use a frost cloak during combat. Her special abilities are:
Mantle of the Frost King: Weapons and armor blessed with frost enchantments grant increased healing rate and double damage against fatigued or slowed foes. Power attacks deliver stronger enchanted blows.
The Frost King’s Blessing: Frost damage increases if a filled soul gem is in inventory. 1 Greater Soul Gem = 15% increase, 10 Grand Soul Gems = 50%, 5 Black Soul Gems = 100%.
Frostskjelv: Kelsa’s unique warhammer that does frost damage on hit. (credit to Steelfeathers for providing this awesome warhammer)
When Kelsa is married, her spouse will receive the Frostborn Mage perk (see Anja above).
NPC COMMENTS and ICEHEART BANTER
This file can’t be merged with the main ESP file, since merging will break dialogue entries.
Optional Addon that provides NPC Comments from various NPCs towards the Iceheart Sisters. The goal of this Addon is to make the Iceheart Sisters feel like a natural part of Skyrim itself. The people of Skyrim know them and will talk to or about them. There is also banter between the two sisters (conversations with each other). Here are the specifics:
– Five scenes between Anja and Kelsa with various triggers.
– Special scene in the Bannered Mare where Mikael will sing a song for Anja.
– Features around 90 new lines voiced by the original Iceheart Sisters voice actresses.
– Random NPCs will approach one or both of them and attempt to flirt with them, with random reactions.
– Selected NPC voice types will greet one of the sisters, with random greetings in return.
– Selected vanilla NPCs will make comments about one or both of the sisters when they are close by.
– Greetings and flirting will work with mod-added NPCs that have vanilla voice types.
Every 24 hours there’s a random chance of a scene with a vanilla NPC of either gender (selected voice types only) approaching one of the sisters and trying to flirt with them. The sister will reply with a random response. Every 8 hours there’s a random chance of a brief scene where a unique vanilla NPC will greet one or both of the sisters, with random responses.
