AI Skyrim: Woody the Bosmer - Part 0

This is a condensed version of a 4 hour livestream of AI Skyrim with the Living Skyrim mod list and the Mantella mod. This was a good trial run that helped me identify some things to fix. As such, consider this Part 0 or a prelude. I play as Woody the Bosmer who's just arrived at the southern border of Skyrim. Woody explores Falkreath, finds a companion, offends a dog, talks to a chicken, sees a guy fall out of the sky, and more!

AI Skyrim Setup Overview:
The setup for AI Skyrim requires the Mantella mod, an LLM front-end or service, and a Text-To-Speech solution. The Mantella executable already comes with Speech-To-Text.
I use two desktop PCs to stream AI Skyrim. My primary PC runs Skyrim, Mantella, and OBS. My second PC runs Oobabooga with a fairly small LLM, as well as 'XTTS Mantella API Server'.
