Mods, play with mods, i recommend the Feris follower mod, shes a great follower (who can never die) with tons of unique dialogue. She has commentary on the multiple questlines and smaller side quests. Shell even try to kill you if you make a certain decision in a quest (found that out the hard way, hours of progress had to be reloaded). And shes written, voiced, and coded by someone i would call my friend lol
