(BETA) Practical Defeat 0.4.5

A comprehensive, modular, and extensible human enemy-player defeat system for Acheron. Features include:

• Parametrized robbery by item type, value, and chance
• Varied defeat events and release outcomes including Simple Slavery, Devious Devices, Follower Slavery Mod, etc.
• Struggle animations + minigame via Acheron Extension Library
• First class followers support (up to 3)
• Fast, multi-threaded operation with fail safes
• Designed/written for any player character and follower gender
• Heavy bondage (DD) awareness - default idles will change, enemies will react to player already being restrained, confiscate keys, and tamper with devices
• Easily extendable by other mod authors and can be used to hook into other Acheron consequences

This mod (and to a lesser extent Acheron) is very much in development. Bug reports are highly appreciated. You can use other Acheron Consequence mods like Simple Outcomes for Acheron and/or Yamete Kudasai 2.x with this mod for creature support and to defeat NPCs. To reiterate, this mod only adds a system for player defeat at the hands of humanoid enemies e.g. Nords, Khajits, etc.

 

Compatibility
Acheron is SE/AE-exclusive and as a result so is this mod.

 

Not designed for use with defeat mods beyond other Acheron Consequences i.e. you should not use Defeat, Naked Defeat, etc. with this mod. You can add similar features from those mods to this one using Simple Outcomes and/or Yamete Kudasai.

 

Requirements
Hard:

• Acheron (if you run into issues with 0.4.3 or greater, downgrade to 0.4.2)
• SkyUI
• Fuz ro D'Oh
• PO3 Papyrus Extender
• PapyrusUtil (latest for your version SE/AE)
• Sexlab
• FNIS / Nemesis
• Pyramid Utils (v0.2 is required for PD v0.4.5)
• Open Animation Replacer (for crawling/surrender animations)

Soft:

• Acheron Extension Library (for struggles)
• Open Animation Replacer (for crawling)
• Simple Slavery++ (for player enslavement)
• Sanguine Debauchery (for player enslavement)
• Follower Slavery Mod (for follower enslavement)
• Devious Devices (for restraints)
• Amputator Framework Tweaked (for post-defeat amputation)
• Kidnapped by Rieklings (for the titular post-defeat outcome)

Recommended:

• Spectator Crowds Ultra Edition (for immersive comments and reactions during events) and Crowd Control (if you only want crowds during this mod's events)

• Sexlab P+ (for faster starting scenes but only if you're okay with using a work-in-progress mod)

Addons

• Simple Events
• Bad Endings
• Creature Comforts
• Voice Pack by @krzp

Installation

1. Install as you would any other mod.
2. Run FNIS or Nemesis
3. Configure the weight of this outcome in the Acheron MCM.

Upgrading

If you're playing on an existing save, please ensure you remain on your selected ESP format i.e. ESP -> ESP or ESP -> ESL. Swapping mid-game can cause damage to your save and cause issues with event registration.

 

For Users
If all members of your party including you enter bleedout, an enemy will initiate a struggle minigame with you. If you win, you and your followers will recover and can get back in the fight.

If you lose, you and your followers will be robbed and subjected to some...unsavory events until the max number of rounds is reached or (if enabled) all aggressors are satisfied. Once the last round is complete, a release event will play out.

 

You can find all registered events in the MCM's events page. It features a number of configuration options including robbery parameters, event weights, and restraint type chance. Feel free to request more.

 

You can edit the default restraints by modifying Data/SKSE/Plugins/Practical Defeat/Devious Devices.json which includes a list of each of potential restraints for each area. I've mostly picked ones I feel are appropriate for Skyrim's world (rope, iron, leather). Being restrained with DD's may spawn the necessary keys on the enemy which should incentivize you to get revenge.

I've included some safe measures for preventing item loss on enemy despawn. Please call this out if it doesn't work.

 

Performance may be slightly worse on 1.5.97 (SE) due to missing PapyrusUtil functions.
