Most if not all of the orcs in the strongholds have the required aggression and confidence values.  Some have the low morality score.

Throughout the mod there will be dialogue options for the player to choose that will affect how the mod plays and how NPCs treat them.  I have a system in place that uses new hidden factions and tracks the player's rank in those factions.  There will also be options for the player at the end of the main quest line; kill the bad guy(s) or let them live, keep the bands on or take them off, etc.

great !

If you are only altering your profile for updates of Kendos mod you should be safe. If there was a major change then you'd likely need a clean save which isn't as easy as before but I suspect what Kendo is doing would be easy to clean a save. You should be OK.

Just in case, you do have different saves for different profiles setup correct? Each profile has their own set of saves in other words. If not you really need to set that up you are loosing one of the best features of MO. Just putting that out in case. I doubt you are running the same set of saves for all profiles.

no, i don't keep saved games... i quite quickly get bored of playing the same character, so i delete saved games, decide which mods i want to remove, keep (update if necessary) or add...  then start a new game and create a new character...  that's why i hate the start sequence, too long and i'd see it too often

UPDATE:

I'm maybe a quarter of the way through finishing the second quest in the mod.  I have no idea how many quests there will be but I have a story overview syllabus and I'm sticking to to it.  I'm not going to let mod-creep kill the mod.

Finished a short dialogue quest the player can have with one of the carriage drivers.  It doesn't do anything, just adds dialogue and gives the mod a sense of being a real part of Skyrim.  It's for mod flavor and background.

Also finished the world interactions dialogue quest for generic NPCs commenting on the player being collared and naked at the same time.  The comments will only be said by a certain NPCs with the right voice type and some of the comments will only occur in specific locations, like orc strongholds.  In some instances the NPCs might rape the player, but this is controlled by NPC arousal, aggression level, confidence, and morality.  The rape won't occur as often as with a mod like Dangerously Nude, where it happens almost every game hour with that mod installed.  I've restricted it to NPCs the game rates as 'the type' to do it.  The biggest risks will be around Hirelings and Followers who aren't in your party, in orc strong holds and maybe from wandering Thalmor patrols.  The baseline for an NPC to rape is (Aroused =>40, Aggression ==1, Confidence >=2, Morality ==0).  So, only certain NPCs will molest the player, not everyone able to comment.

that's sound nice...  maybe you should also consider gender preference...

also, Orcs might be more likely to rape the player (weather in strongholds or not) because of that rule that only chieftains have wives/females...  so the other males should be quite aroused

finally, in case you might be interested, i really like quests with different endings depending on player's choices

Yea... right... like smoking a joint and not inhailing.

Also consider that is ONE time that you have to do this. You can save sometime after the chopping block or whatever and go back to that save later. (Unless I am wrong Kendo correct me :)) so in reality it is even less an issue having this start. I used a save from exiting the cave in Skyrim for well over a year before Another life etc was used. Simple, easy, direct and reasonably reliable. If you use MO just have a profile for this. Create a nice start. Get past that point, make copies and have at it and explore all the options that will be provided. YOu can still keep your DD play and setup for those times you need a little TLC...

 

i could create a profile just for trying Kendo2's mod. but not a saved game to use every time...  each time i start a new game i add/remove/update mods, so a saved game from a different combination of mods won't probably work and would easily CTD...

Having DD and DD mods installed shouldn't cause any problems with my mod, provided you STAY AWAY from what triggers those mods in the game.

For the dialogue, NPCs will be talking about you being captured by Imperials at DarkWater Crossing and eventually you'll be sent there to look for clues.  So even if LAL gives you a fancy house in Solitude and make you Queen of Skyrim people in the game won't acknowledge that.  And the vanilla Helgen isn't THAT bad.  It takes less than 20 minutes to complete.  Also, the mod assumes you will go to Riverwood and then Whiterun when the game starts.  LAL will make no sense, but hey...your game so play it the way you like it.

Once I'm done with the mod and I KNOW it works for most people I'll look into doing a LAL addon where the player starts in Riverwood.  I could make that fit in with the story I'm doing.  The player was still captured by the Imperials but they escaped Helgen on their own, without the help of Hadvar or Ralof.  That's actually a good idea.  Thanks for making me think about it.

well, i don't actually use LAL for having a fancy house somewhere... usually i select starts like being left for dead, shipwrecked, captured by thalmor, sold as slave, and so on...  the nicest i used are camping in the woods and arrived by ship... so no problem pretending of having been to helgen and then actually going there and to riverwood and whiterun asap

i really can't stand that 20 min long start...  i found it way too long even the 1st time i played the game even if i needed to get familiar with controls and as soon as i found LAL and Halls of beginning i started alternating using them... then some player expanded LAL with more naughty starts and so i began using just it and its "expansions"

@Karma199696I for one would gladly accept not having DD used if there was an alternate mod that gave deep meaningful story. It appears from what has been posted and other things i know that this will do just that.

Most use MO for Skyrim so just create a DD free profile and use this mod and check it out. I have known Kendo for quite some time and know he is very open to suggestions provided it is in line with the concept of the mod he is creating. This combined with is use of DD, I believe you will get quite an experience to enjoy

 

  Reveal hidden contents

Nevermind... that story sucked...

 

the problem isn't playing without DD itself, but without all the mods that require DD...

On 2/6/2017 at 4:48 PM, Kendo 2 said:

It will 'work' but the story is written around the vanilla game.  All the initial dialogue is about the Imperials catching you at Darkwater Crossing and how the shackles got on you in the first place.  The first quest (finding clues at Darkwater Crossing) assumes you did a vanilla game start.  BUT none of the world interaction quests require the Helgen start.  They happen because you're wearing the shackles.

The concept of the mod is that you're part of a story.  That's the way I've written the dialogue.  I didn't take LAL into account because I don't use it, but I know some people do so the Helgen start isn't required.  A LAL start means you'll have no background story and what's said by the NPCs in the mod won't make much sense.

Don't know.  After the last DD scripting changes I stop using the mod.  I can say for sure the ZAZ collar and wrist and ankle irons in the mod use the same slots as DD stuff, and my stuff can't be removed or swapped with other gear.  If a DD mod added and equipped a collar on your character that collar might not show up, you might be wear both, the game could crash, anything.  It hasn't been tested with DD because I don't have DD installed.  All of that will be determined when the beta is ready to be tested by other players.

thanks for answering, Kendo2

as for the dialogs not making sense, i might just pretend i got captured etc...  about DD, well, should i decide to install your mod, i might try and see what happens...

Nice idea...  But i already have a couple of questions maybe stupid ones but i actually believe that the only stupid questions are those not asked... so...

1) will it work also if i use LAL and only later reconnect to the main quest (meeting Ralof/Hadvar) or you need to go through the never-ending boring vanilla start ?

2) it doesn't uses DD, but will be compatible with it ?

Thanks

too late for easter, so i'll wish you a nice 25th of april

it was quite good, thanks ! yours too, i hope... and since i'm still in time...

Buon Onomastico !!  (sorry, i don't know how to say it in english )

my games list is kind of short i think...

The Sims 2 and The Sims 3

Diablo 3 (with Reaper of Souls expansion)

Tomb Rider (2013 edition)

and Skyrim of course ! my favorite game ever (because of modders, not bethesda )

ah ! i also started Rise of the Tomb Raider but haven't finished it yet

and recently started playing Neverwinter online with some internet friends

that' all i think...

i had problems posting...  but seems ok now  

thanks

Just wanted to wish a Happy Easter to everybody (really everybody !)...  whatever you believe (or not believe) why not having a nice day ?!?

working for me too now   so for once it was a real problem and not me being stupid

i tried uploading an image yesterday and the day before but always got an error...  maybe the file was too big, but never had problems before...

No, it's so correct. Slower than a Modem. It was the time of analogue Speed. The Transferunit was at this time 300 - 600 baud - today ~ 200 - 450bit/s

a  1 MB File need in the 80s the time of 18700 seconds or 311 minutes

Faster. I like the Web Speed of today. 16Mbit - 250Mbit and more.

oh, you were talking about the old days ! i misunderstood and thought you were saying that the site is slower after migrating to the new server

Oh, yes...

It goes slower. I know the first steps, i don't know, if you heard abot Acoustic coupler or BTX, per example for the old Commodore 64. It worked when you put a telephone Receiver on it. Good old days, but i like the Net-speed of today. 

Maybe you have seen this in the Film WarGames 1983

i suppose you meant "faster"...  or it's actually slower for you ?

The site keeps getting better thank you DZ

a feature i always liked is that not only there's the "unread content" button, but also the "mark site read" one !  that's not always present in forums...  so if i'm not interested in a post either i "pretend" to read it anyway, or it keeps cluttering my unread content list for ever !  not so here !!

Yep all my uploads are for TS3, there's a chance I move to TS4 but for now I don't find it fun. EA has patched and added lots of stuff so my opinion might change in the future.

don't worry, i don't think i'm moving to TS4 either, so no problem    well...  it's true that when i played TS2 i told i wasn't going to pass to TS3...  so, never say never

I'm JoshQ and I'm spamming the downloads section with poorly made content for a game nobody cares about (The Sims 3).

Sorry!

hi JoshQ welcome to the site and thanks for that "poorly made content" i also asked a question about it but now i see the answer was already here

i'm downloading all of it for my Sims

and if you need to reinstall everything or not depends on what mod manager are you using for you mods...  with Mod Organizer you don't need to reinstall anything, just deselect the mods you don't want to use any more, install and select the new ones...  you might even have 2 different profiles, one with UNP and one with CBBE or other body types...  with Nexus Mod Manager...  might be a lot more difficult and you might have several issue...

Hey, cool. Then you passed very closed my Home. Did you understand german very well or not so good like English. I am asking, well... my english is not the best. Sometimes i'm thinking about a long time, to find the right translation for a simple word. 25 Years out of school, there's some lost in the years. Then would i use 'Denglish' <.<'

i would say that i'm quite good at writing/reading english, not so much to speak and understand it...  i would need more practice...  but when i went to USA (for holidays a few years ago) after a couple of weeks there i had no problems in understanding and making myself understood

about german...  well... i know just a little that i learned during my journeys in Germany, mainly related to eating/drinking/sleeping and... well, socializing with people (aber nur ein bisschen)...

and i don't have the right keyboard to write it

Vielen Dank Karma!

Okay, then will i use your postet Area. Maybe one of the Admins can one create

I think, the most of the members wants only the rights to download. But I am a little bit different, i like smalltalk  

i like downloading mods too (i found this site following Kendo2 and his stuff) but i like talking too since i'm too lazy to learn modding and i don't have much free time, the little i have is for playing, not for studying tutorials and guides so i try contributing at least to threads and discussions

Willkommen Zilvra

Glad you found out the thread don't worry about being late... we have more then 20.000 members but i think that less the 100 found this thread and dropped a line or two...  so you already are among the best performers here

actually at the moment there isn't a request thread (or i never found it)...  but i think you could go to the Feedback & Suggestion Forum, in the Site addition suggestion thread and propose that one be created...

again wellcome

This can also indicate a defective hard drive (sometimes).
A few years ago, I had the same problem with an MMO. From one day to the next the game ran no longer. Result - I had to buy a new hard drive. Luckily, TESV is something other than an MMO, as the source of the error can be reduced more quickly. In Germany we say - Die Fehlerquelle liegt oft 25cm vor der Tastatur.
Good Luck for your Future with your PC.

25 cm vor der Tastatur solte ich sein...  richtig ??  who whonst du in Deutscheland (wenn ich kann fragen) ??

anyway, i hope it isn't a problem with my hard drive... it's a quite new SSD
