What this mod does
The idea is to give the player a way to enter Public Whore through the vanilla arrest dialogue. As of version 1.2.0, there are 2 choices to make during installation:
The first FOMOD choice is Dialogue Options.
- The first option replaces the vanilla "I submit. Take me to jail." arrest outcome with a Public Whore sentence. When you choose the jail option during a guard arrest, the guard will inform you that you must work off your bounty as a Public Whore instead. In the PWJR MCM you can configure the chance and bounty threshold at which you will be sent to Public Whore.
- The second option contains the same functionality as the first, except that it also adds a new dialogue option. The new option is "I submit. I'll do anything as long as you don't take me to jail.", and after the guard's response the mod then always makes the player a Public Whore. This additional dialogue option is unaffected by the PWJR MCM options, those only affect the vanilla "I submit. Take me to jail." dialogue option.
The second FOMOD choice is Public Whore Start Options.
- The first option uses the PW_MakePublicWhoreAdvanced ModEvent to make the player a Public Whore, sets the quota based on your current bounty and always starts PW in Enforced Mode. A drawback of this approach is that the Slavetat doesn't get applied, but i can't do anything about that since it's a limitation of PW's API. Important: when using this option, set the quota mode to money in the PW MCM.
- The second option uses the PW_MakePublicWhoreSelfCont ModEvent to make the player a Public Whore. This one sets the quota based on your PW MCM settings and also lets the PW MCM decide if you start in Enforced Mode or not.
Paying your bounty and resisting arrest remain unchanged in all versions.
Voicelines
The replacement guard dialogue is fully voiced using xVASynth.
The voice lines are included with the mod for all relevant guard voice types.
Special Cases
Cidhna Mine
This mod should not interfere with The Forsworn Conspiracy / No One Escapes Cidhna Mine.
During the Cidhna Mine arrest sequence, vanilla behavior should occur and you will be sent to Cidhna Mine as normal.
Raven Rock
This mod does not affect arrests in Raven Rock. Raven Rock uses a separate arrest dialogue path and will continue to send the player to jail normally.
Compatibility
This mod edits the vanilla guard arrest dialogue.
Mods that replace or remove the vanilla guard arrest dialogue may be incompatible.
Mods that rely on the player being sent to jail may not function as intended, depending on the selected FOMOD options and MCM configuration.
Requirements
Public Whore and all of its requirements.
Supported Game Versions
The mod was created and tested on Skyrim SE 1.5.97. It will likely work on Anniversary Edition as well, but I have not tested it.
Skyrim LE compatibility is unknown and has not been tested.
Downloadable Mod Versions
As a general policy, older releases will remain available for download as long as they do not contain any known major or critical issues.
This is intended to:
- Maintain compatibility for modlists that may rely on a specific version.
- Allow users to continue using older releases if they prefer their implementation.
- Ensure previously released versions remain accessible for troubleshooting and archival purposes.
Older versions containing known major or critical bugs may be removed, regardless of whether a fixed version becomes available.
Available Versions
1.2.0
- Added an MCM with 2 variables: "Public Whore Chance" and "Public Whore Bounty Threshold". These options only affect the "I submit. Take me to jail." dialogue outcome.
- Added an alternative script that you can choose in the FOMOD. This new version of the script starts PW in a way that makes PW use its own MCM settings for the quota and Enforced Mode.
- FOMOD now contains two choices to make: "Dialogue Options" and "Public Whore Start Options".
1.1.1
- Contains the fixed Additional Player Dialogue implementation.
- No MCM.
- FOMOD allows you to choose between the Jail Replacement option from 1.0 and the Additional Player Dialogue option.
1.0
- Original release.
- Jail Replacement option only.
- No MCM.
- You might prefer this version if you only want the original Jail Replacement implementation and do not need the Additional Player Dialogue option.
