Thanks to Emma for making Vilja

[redpanda157]

Hi all,
I know that this has been said several times, but I just want to say it again.

I want to thank Emma and the Vilja team so much for making both the Oblivion and Skyrim versions of Vilja. I was so happy when I found the Skyrim version on the Nexus, and loved the character and voice acting so much! Actually, Oblivion Vilja was pretty much the only reason I even bought the game.

So thanks Emma, for carefully building an amazing character, spending hours of work recording your own voice, writing line after line of AI and Dialogue code, and for supporting this wonderful community. Your hard work is appreciated very much.

Your Devoted Supporter,

Thank you, Redpanda

Luckily, the "hard work" is fun (well, most of the time <insert appropriate cursing of certain Skyrim "features" here>), it's a hobby, and it's much more rewarding than for instance knitting, as so many more can share and hopefully enjoy the result.

Jeg vil også gjerne takke deg tusen ganger for din Vilja-mod. Bestevennen min, som spiller Skyrim, anbefalte den til meg, som spiller Oblivion for tiden. Etter en litt vanskelig start jeg hadde med henne - den bli-kjent-med-hverandre-fase, vil jeg ikke gå ut på tur uten henne igjen!
Vi har ikke kommet veldig langt i hennes quest endå, men jeg gleder meg fram til alt som kommer til å skje allerede :-) Så tusend hjertelig takk en gang til!! Neste gang jeg spiller Skyrim (denne gangen med Addons) skal jeg og ta hun med meg, da kan du banne på :-))

Det er forreseten ikke ment uhøflig mot de andre brukerne av forumet jeg skriver i et språk som i alle fall ligner ditt (kan ikke Svorsk endå), men jeg som er tysk og lever i Norge i fem og ett halvt år ville gjerne vært høflig mot deg.

Hilsen fra Norge

P.S.: Jeg skal også takke fra bestevennen min, som jeg er redd er litt småforelseket i henne...

JCDenton, thank you so much

Unfortunately, I have to reply to you in english - men jag kan naturligtvis svenska! - as this forum is owned by ProBoards and it's strictly stipulated in their conditions that all posts should be in english. Sadly - earlier on, when I had a forum on a modder-server, we had a separate forum section for discussions in our own languages and for teaching each other other languages. It was fun and I believe much appreciated.

Anyway... great that you are having fun together with Vilja in Oblivion, and great that your friend is having equally fun with her in Skyrim. Tell him that I have just updated her to ver 1.4.1, and that there is now a Solstheim add-on available for her!
I'm hoping to get around to update the Oblivion Vilja with some features from the Skyrim one, like talking in whispers when she i sneaking.

Norway is a lovely country, I hope to visit there soon again. But I really hate driving some of the roads there, they are scary!

Thanks for your answer! Jeg tviler ikke på du behersker svenska :-)
Just finished her first questline and - selvølgelig - decided to keep her by my side. I cannot imagine how much time and love you and your team have put into this mod, as it is ABSOLUT FANTASTIC!
It is for the first time that I really do care for my follower. That I do listen to the dialog and not only read fast over the (excellent german translated) text. That I am in danger to fall in love in a NPC (which is not the prettiest one, thanks to the Oblivion engine, but saw som videos of her in Skyrim...).
I am pretty sure that people at Bethesda have recognized your mod by now, as its constanly one of the most popular, and hope for you and future games, that you will get an offer from the industry. If you like, that is.

Have not been to Sweden by now, I'm sure it's a lovely country as well as Norway is. And you're right about the roads here, especially here in the middle of nowhere called Vest-Telemark where I live...

Keep up the good work and thank you ever so much!

Just wanted to say how amazing Vilja for Oblivion is. Thank you Emma and the Vilja team for making a character that seems so real and breathes greater life into Oblivion. 
It is strange that people are complaining about the voice. I could listen to those (yours I hear) chirpy tones all day and look forward to the next comment. I thought nothing could beat Laura Craft, Constance, The Witchgirl and Julan (seems like a long time ago now), I was wrong.
Thank you again, Jason.
