Part 6 - The soul of the desert and Goetia (mod announcement)

I missed writing in this blog to show my progress with Ego, to be fair I missed writing. After a year I think it's a good idea to explain what happened to my character and to me.

 

I left my projects for a desert and a desert I got but it wasn't how I expected it to be, it was inhospitable and hostile. The people living in it were pretty similar to the people I left behind, harsh as the desert during summer and as cold as its nights. Enough to make me question myself why I was there.

I tried to find joy in loneliness and I think I managed to do it but I felt it still wasn't the right path to take so I left the "desert" and created Goetia. Originally a little guild that had to suffer quite some drama at the beginning but managed to keep together a bunch of friends despite their different interests. It lasted 1 year and then it died when I decided to kill it, it was time to go back looking for another desert, alone this time.

During this period Ego collected quite a few names. Sersen, Norwenko, Cloen. The name didn't matter but I swear I got someone confused. 

I loved that people could grasp the concept of the character without me explaining it, the anonymity of the internet helped me giving her life for a while. It lasted till it had to last but now I feel I have to look another way to keep working.

Luckily technology is a beautiful thing and I used it for a greater good. Ego's body and face are finally closer to what I had in mind and I think I'll settle on this one for a while.

I remember one year ago I promised to release Ego as a follower for Skyrim and I admit I didn't work on it, it was still a work in progress and I'm happy I didn't release her ahead of time. Now that I'm back to Skyrim I'm actually working on a "big" mod with the help of another modder. 

We decided to take a not so popular mod - World of Rudra - and release new works in that land, he's actually working on an entire piece of land with castles and big wonders. I instead took the opportunity to make a little house in the middle of the desert filled with some background here and there. Before creating a body for Ego in Skyrim I am working on her story, her soul.

The name of the house is Goetia, it means "home" to me but it has a totally different meaning in reality, maybe related. Goetia is a dwemer dungeon built on a natural spring but the entrance served for years as home to a traveling Ego. I don't want to spoiler much and I will post better screenshots when I'm actually done with the mod.

Well it's good to have know your alter is still kicking and all. It adds to the retrospective about your character. Wishing you good success with your mod ! Smiley_jap_HFR.gif

Oh well it's just a lil house mod that probably no one would care to download. I'm having fun making it though, I might even add a quest to it

You're still longing about a follower mod then ? I had to turn one my PC into an NPC follower for my chronicles' needs, and even if it's not easy, with a little bit of patience it's doable to have one looking exactly like the original. Just don't forget to ctrl+F4 face texture and be ready to get your hands into photoshop/gimp if you went for custom racemenu textures, unless you've gone for an HDT hair, you're escaping the most complicated part. :classic_wink:

I disinstalled skyrim a while ago and now I'm using it just to mod. When I have Ego finished and redone I will think about it but when I tried the main issue was her race, I'm using ningheim for Ego so I can customize her the way I want without touching other npcs. When I loaded her in game her npc counterpart was...off, like something was clearly missing

Well you can still use separate textures/meshes (as follower) while setting her race to be a regular one. Just like Sofia for example. Anyway I understand it's not for today, good luck with your current project. Smiley_jap_HFR.gif

I don't know if it would be "legal" to release those meshes tho, since they are property of the modder that made ningheim I guess

If it's modified yes. Even if it isn't, it's "legal", as modders don't really own the content they're creating. Hopefully laws will evolve some day. But anyway you can still ask permission to the author, that's the best way to clear out the doubt. :classic_smile:

I think making Ego from scratch using the default races would be easier but then I would have to deal with npcs having her same assets which would definitely ruin my game

Well there is the possibility to have a custom "player race" for your game (just using "player race" folders and putting your files into it ; you'll find more info on google). For followers it's not a problem as you can use custom folders/files for them (cf. Sofia's example). :classic_smile:
