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.

Sounds awesome... !

usually i select starts like being left for dead

I use the left for dead quite a bit as well. Also might fit in the story just as well with less troubles or issues with the conversations? Maybe?

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.

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.

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

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.

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...

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.

Yea... !!!!

Yes... Also really? Who needs either of those two. Perhaps for the original idea the one you choose to team up with will use you at the end after exit...   At least then Helgan might be worth it... lol

WTF!!! LOL

Everything else is about making the character's life a living hell and the game gets dull REAL fast when that's happening.

Yea, reason I never used it or at least not for long enough to even remember using it.

It was sort of response to your post but I knew that question or notion would come up eventually about DD and other stuff.  I just wanted to make it clear I'm not making a DD type mod.  What I'm doing is NEW.

I thought that was the case. I was thinking the same thing but didn't word it correctly.. This is a good thing. Something new for an old game. Something that gives more story for those that might like some of the features or such of DD but want more substance. However, If I understand it correctly DD was intended to be a framework so it not having a deep story isn't really the author's fault... correct? It is just that the user base was do busy being "used" to make more substantial content ... story wise that is.

I'll do a 'Recommended Mods List' when the time comes.

Cool, that will be useful as well.

THAT is exactly what I'm doing; one of my comics but in the form of a Skyrim quest mod.  Couldn't have explained it better myself.

Hey, what do you know, I didn't trip across my tongue... um.. typewriter this time...

Quote

Players running around with devices locked on to them isn't part of what I'm trying to accomplish and it makes absolutely no sense in my story's context. 

I never did get into DD. Can't remember if I even ever had it installed. I might have had it installed for a very, very short time testing it for a bit but for the most part ... nope. Not interested. I am interested if doing something like that, with a real story with depth and such not just having tings stuck to someone. I even quickly got board with Submit.

If your comment was in response to mine... I wasn't asking that. I was wondering if someone was playing with your mod, gotten use to the story etc and seen or thought of some interesting additions or episodes for it, would be be interested? Sometimes I confuse my own self when I write something. A DD like episode but in line with the rest of the story. A suggestion, thought,etc.

Once you get a few episodes in, I'll have to play it. I assume it don't require much.  (requirement list)

( I have to check it out at least once... I still remember your comics you created before ... :D) If this is any indication... It willl be Epic!!

@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.

@Kendo 2

The question that I think jumps to mind with Karma's questions is are you willing to consider ideas, concepts story elements that of course are inline with your concept and goals of the mod? In otherwords some nice DD content stories etc. Of course they'd have to be inline with your concept and goals and be dam good to boot

For example

Ah, I see, thanks.

The answer as I see it is they keep trying to one up each other on which can make the ugliest character.

BSG or BW?

This is the first time they had a very major reaction to the fans reactions to their game. They almost came short of shutting down Montreal location. That is a major change. They currently see it as the location causing the issue and not themselves though. Not their policies just poor quality control at that location and leadership sucked. Not because of the SJW etc. However, many articles and such are coming out and many references to how catering to SJW is causing the bottom line to drop are getting more and more common. These are things that they being business people will see and review, seriously.  Hopefully, they will consider them very seriously and make some serious changes on their formula with regards to this. However, how much of a change likely will be very little. MEA was one game. They are still patting themselves on the back for other games that they released so even though this is a slap in the face, they'd likely just take it as the fans didn't want a new Mass Effect game and shut that IP down. Too costly to continue. So we are very likely to never get another ME game again.

What will likely have to happen is another major upset like what happened to the ME game on another game (next release) and perhaps 2 or 3 more times before they get their act  straight. I believe they would survive this at that point. They will be really hurt but they have butloads of cash etc. so they will likely be able to fair that happening. As I understand it, MEA did make them a profit or at least they came close to breaking even. It didn't however make the$$$$ that they expected (and really should have made so they weren't far from that. Had they not fucked up everything they would be rolling in the $$$ with people yelling "Take my Money". ) 

"EA and Bioware need a reality check"...

Yep.

The Quarian DLC/expansion/whatever is officially dead in the water.

It's really sad what happened to Mass Effect but the devs who made the games great no longer work for Bioware/EA so what was being put out really wasn't 'Mass Effect' anyway.  That's my opinion anyway.  I'm glad I didn't buy or play Andromeda.  EA's version of Bioware destroyed the franchise, but I have fond memories of Shepard, Jack, Liara, Rhex, Edi and Joker...everyone really.  Also glad those memories didn't get tainted.

I wish CDProjektRed would buy the ME franchise.

I hope not...

I would loose my job if it did happen

And buy TES and FO franchise. At least CDProjekt Red have the skills to actually do voice protagonists the proper way. I still don't play W3, but right now, CDProjekt Red is the only company I'm looking at for RPGs. I hope Cyberpunk 2077 lives up to everyone's expectations.

They do everything much more "proper way" than the current games that are being released. I hope this continues. I hope they continue to remember the fans and deliver quality packed, well written games well into the future. Doubt other game companies will do this.

I also hope the Cyberpunk 2077 is able to live up to everyone's expectation. I say that because CD Red does have some serious competiti0on... themselves. Which might be the hardest to beat. I hope it meets at least the same quality as WIII and I will be happy. Also there are some hints in WIII that someone from that game might be present in Cyberpunk 2077 or at least referenced. That is just so cool in itself. Same EA/MEA doesn't have the basic storytelling skills and tech ability to give just the basic solid well built game. Nobody is asking for a classic just solid, reliable game with some decent story. Nothing that hasn't been done before. just the basic shit. So sad that they can't even do that.

OFF TOPIC

  Hide contents

 

Aside from a few bugs TW3 is a great fucking game.  I think the reason some people don't like it is due to the difficulty.  It is a high risk and low reward game, there isn't any sort of opponent leveling (walk in to the wrong fight at the wrong time and you'll die), the combat doesn't involve spamming buttons until you win.  There's all of that and the story is really raw, and the world is realistically offensive just like I imagine a war-torn Medieval society would be.

And there's going to be a Witcher TV series on Netflix!  Andrzej Sapkowski (the author of the books) is going to be a creative consultant and some of the scene directors from the game will be directing episodes.  No idea who's going to star in it but I hope they don't cram it full of Hollywood Millennials who can't act.  I HOPE it is a European production like Vikings or Game of Thrones.

Sounds to me like EA hasn't learned its lesson.  I can say one thing with certainty, there won't be any DLCs for Andromeda.

Yes, your skill just keeps on getting better and better. Keep this up and us naughty users could have a closet fully of sexy clothes...

It is great that you are right on top of things with the site

It has been slowing down. I thought it was due to my massive amount of downloads... (games from Steam and Orgin etc) However not quite that long for me at least.

Discord has its advantages. It is a major player and many people that game and such have an account. They could access NSFWmods.com discord along with all the other chats that they are following at the same time.

Currently with the inactivity of the chat that we had, I'd say wait until the Discord plugin has gotten out of Beta before deciding or not deciding to include it as a service you want part of the site.

Not sure if it was on my end or on withthe system.

First the message system was very, very laggy then the entire site went down (500 error). Just giving some feedback in case others experienced the same thing. I think it was my net that was flaking out. Downloading tOOO much for several days lol. (restoring my computer and getting fresh games from Steam and Orgin. WitcherIII is HUGE for example :P)

Everything is nice and snappy now, or as snappy as it was before now.

Also if I am not mistaken changing the mouse settings from the mouse would be easier and more convenient than clicking here and there to get to the mouse settings menu in Windows. That solution in my opinion would be something to consider if it was a more permanent change as changes to accommodate a game.

Excellent, keep on sharing little gems like this.

I find the new clubs feature very interesting.

The first rule about new clubs features is to not talk about the new clubs features...

It's good that you are aware of this problem. Hopefully soon they will resolve this issue.

@Doublezero

Not sure if it is only on my end but the page loading /entrance is quite time consuming. Nothing horrible but even LL has a faster load time to enter. sometimes the pages take a bit longer to load as well.

 I haven't said anything but with the recent issues and slowdowns I thought I should at least give a heads up in case it is something that is experienced by many here and might be something that could later cause serious problems. Otherwise I have no issues with the slowness. It is all good.

i had that same problem too, sometime in the past months...  but since as you too found out, log out/log in solved the problem, never reported it...  maybe i should have...

If you are having problems by all means post it here or let someone know. It might be something on your end or might be something on ours. Let us know as there might be many others that haven't said anything we have 20000 + members now. I am sure if someone is having a problem... there is someone else that has that problem or something similar. Worst case... perhaps we could make a tutorial to fix it. (flush DNS, clear Temp folder, etc)

Bioshock 1 & 2, didn't get a round to play the third version.

Played Oblivion, but didn't get hooked as others, Played Fallout 3 extensively and then later Fallout NV and even a few passes on Fallout 4. (didn't really enjoy it as much. Sad there isn't as many modding tools to make it great. The base game is boring.  The previous Fallout games (3 and NV ) I played quite a bit before I even added any mods.

I played and liked the original KTOR and KTOR II quite a bit. 

Really liked the ME series 1 through 3 however MEA is very bad even if you discount the graphics and glitches (they are working with a new engine this time) the stories and character development doesn't seem as well developed or polished. Sad... I was really looking forward to this game. At the time I got the game I ddin't realize Bethesda was behind creating the game. I only saw EA. Based on the decline of Bethesda games the past few years... I wouldn't have gotten it. Everybody bitches about the glitches and animations. That can be fixed with a bit of effort. What can't be fixed is the major story lines and quest and such, well not very easily. 

Witcher III the first one of the series that I played from CK Projet Red. I was blown away. First frustrated to no end. It is HARD game, a very HARD game. Even on easy I was having my ass handed to me. If you are used to Bethesda type of game play where you are a tank and "hero" and such then you will be very disappointed. CK Project Red doesn't take it easy on you. No "freebiees" or "I'm Special" players. They give it to you full on from the start.  I went back a few times and gotten better and better and enjoyed it more and more as I learned the game and how to play. Timing the hits and such. (rare not to have a button masher or a "Vats" or "Bullet time" to make the game easier on the player. However once I really got the idea and started doing well I took on characters (early levels ) as much as 2x time my level. If I missed a chance or fucked up... I was dead. Some of the encounters ended being one hit kills at the levels I was taking on. My hand never gotten so cramped or I never gotten so jumpy on a video game in my life.

If you are someone that will bitch about running into a 30th level creature or NPC when you are only 7~10 level and get your ass handed to you because you decided you were a "hero" then this game isn't for you. If you want to have challenges and surprises which actually matter and have a risk that you could be killed. then this game is for you.

Tried the previous versions but couldn't get used to the keymapping and gameplay and stopped to play another game. Might return to them. However, looking at the previous versions Witcher 1 and 2 you can see why people are so impressed with CD Project Red as they are growing exponentially with their tech, texture and game in general.
