Alright alright now where we have to give the bag to Aldemar, why cant i give it to him ? i clicked on him and the option isnt there

 

Are you wearing something that prevents you from interacting with him?  Are you sure you have the right bag?  Would you like me to come over and play the game for you?

Hilarious. No i have nothing preventing to interact with him. I have the bag what more would you want me to say. When i got the bag the quest did change to tell me to give it to the guys so i think it should be the one.

 

EDIT : i'm aware there is other bay because there is many container that contain a bag but if you go to the other it says to bring the first one before and like i said if i go back to him my only option is one from Deviously cursed loot.

Also edit : found a log who told me where the proper bag is but like i said im stuck with the bag that isnt the one i shouldnt got because i dont have an option to give it to him. Going to the right stronghold again make that it tell me to give that bag i have first.

You definitely don't have any non-quest devices?

 

Spoiler

I seem to remember several times encountering a dialogue lock, unfortunately I can't remember what solved it, but it was definitely within the quest's normal context. With that quest, you can't even pick up the bag until the distraction has been done, I think. Did you pick up the one near the bread first, or? You might try reloading and starting with a different bag.

So since LL doesn't seem to have a decent update notification system I can find, I just yesterday found out there have been updates to this. I made the mistake of updating while some quests were active, bad things happened, had to roll saves back. Such is Bethsoft.

 

One thing I discovered that annoyed me - is previously you could do "A Strange Rock" and then go right to "Seeking the Curse". In this most recent version, you can choose that option, Laura will do the dialog but the quest will never kick off. You can do it repeatedly and same thing. It seems (so far) that you HAVE to do "what she deserves" next to get a quest active.

 

Intended, or not? Would be nice to not get the option for something you cannot do

It should be available after ASR. I'll take a look.

Ok @Laua, for the final note you want

 

<p align='center'><font face='$EverywhereMediumFont'><font size='15'>

 

That should work for both LE and SE.

 

To get the heart at the bottom, since you can't use '<3', you need to use

 

<3

 

I tried a bunch of other things to get an actual heart (since there is an HTML code for one), but that was the only thing that worked.

 

Thanks for the help @HexBolt8  ❤️

 

Got it. Thanks.

He should have dialogue even if you don't have the bag.

What version of DD are you using?

Do you have any other mods that change restraint behaviour?

unfortunally i cant do that because as this was not working i sarted playing being a cow mod instead so my last save because i did a save save is with that bag which sadly yes isnt the one you mention because i just found the log that tell me which one to get and well i cant get it because i already have a bag and it tell me to give that first which i cant.

Despite people telling that beta versions aren't working, I did th playthrough on DD 5.2 beta 10 RC for LE without any fuss.

Only on one occasion (the end of Ghosts from the Past quest) the prisoner chains didn't show up on PC, but they worked on all othe occasions and any NPC, so I consider that a glitch on my end.

@Laura a big Thank You for the update, and putting and end to the baddies. I did the kill because scum like this tends to float atop, if not now, then in a few years. Can't without necromancy now.

 

Taking control:

Spoiler

The hints in Ivarsted were really vague. I searched the whole lake, but must have missed that chair by ten meters, walking on the ridge instead on the shore.

The mentioned waterfall wasn't there, just blank rock, no idea what happened here.

Thanks for the questmarker on the barrel, I never would have found it otherwise.

 

I got stuck only once, teleportig from the shack to the cave left J. behind. As I did a lot of hard saves throughout the questline, I had no problems loading a save. Worked as intended the second time.

 

The collar was scary, I hated that, but always hoped that someone would save me.

 

Thank you for not letting the ghosts of your past demotivate you, the Author's note at the end hit hard.

You don't mean literally naked, right? I believe there are some devices that you should have on you, at this point in the quest?

Hmm, unfortunately I have no idea how the quest is programmed, so I can't tell you if it is possible to pick up the 'wrong' bag and break the sequence.

I suggest using the latest full release instead of the beta.

I assume you're on SE. Did you install the SE version of my mod?

Make sure you're using the correct version of Fuz Ro D-oh.

Weird. I heard reports of big changes to devices that mess with quests and stuff.

I'll see if I can make the search a bit easier again.

Giving him to wrong one just resets it and you can try again. He should always have dialogue.

[IBAGadget]

Just re-downloaded DD 5.1 so I can get it re-installed and install the newest version of LBS. Hopefully I can live with the weird conflict that's going to happen with this mod and JK's Whiterun Outskirts.

 

Will be nice to run through this again.

I do actually sometime i might be a bit impatient and remove restraint i know its stupid since why the heck im doing that...but i believe its because i got a restraint aply because of dcl and wanted to remove it so it remove the collar as well.

[valcon767]

sad that happened to you, but am glad you are making progress.

 

anyhow just finished playing through  the new content.  great work. nice that there are a few (minor) unanswered questions.

played through the bit at the very end both ways, and saved game with leaving her alive because it was what Laura seemed to prefer.

 

might have to replay it one more time and see if i can slap a collar on her then just lever her there in it...don't know if i can do that without cheating.

funny is i looted a sack in the area upstairs and got a "free collar" due to rng kicking a  random restraint and it was collar from DCL.

 

very well done mod.  one of the best mods i have ever played.

I noticed this too.  The top of that waterfall doesn't actually show any water falling, the water stops at the edge and the waterfall starts about 10-20 feet below it.  So standing on the shore looking at it, there isn't a water fall.  I'll try to get a screenshot.

 

Edit:  Well thats interesting.  I went to that spot in my current playthrough in which I have not stepped foot in LBS yet, and the waterfall IS there.    I wonder if somehow the quest is disabling it or something.

 

Edit2:  Right after I posted this I went back to the game to reload the save of what I was actually doing, but right then the waterfall faded out and stopped.  ???   So I took a screenshot.

I made a patch for JKs Whiterun Outskirts.

That's really weird. The waterfall is fine in my game.

Laura,

I appreciate you so much for telling this story.  I knew the story was leading to a focus on consent, but I did not expect the latest chapter (no spoilers).  It means so much, as a kinkster, as a service dom, as a cis male learning about trauma and how kink can help. 
I've been in the community 3+ years now and do regular sessions with 2 subs that have had past trauma, but this shows a new story in a different perspective, and it hit me pretty hard.  

Thank you so much again ❤️

I have skyrim SE ver 1.5.9.7  Installed as per instructions?, and the shop shows up in game. But when I click to talk to Laura or her assistant, they say nothing and message in background says they are busy. Am I missing files or something. I have DD

[Sanyi1234]

So I started to do the lost merchan mission but as it turns out the fortress is already liberated and there are only imperial garrisons left. So I can't finish the mission and the question is is there any other way to skip it?

Could be Fuz Ro Dah.  I remember having to use an older version, 1.6 or 1.7, to get it to work right.  You might try downgrading and see if that helps.

I had this problem, but you can just go to the location and it'll go as usual. Maybe disable the imperial soldiers in the cell,

I originally ran through it with Beta 9, which caused some swapping of devices.  I found a comment in the DD Beta thread where the author said something about resorting asset IDs to make them easier to work with during development.  Presumably that was fixed for the RC version.

 

I reverted to 5.1 because I needed the latest stable build for testing the mod, without potential beta glitches.  No reason people shouldn't try to play with DD Beta, I just wanted them to be aware that I had run into some strange behavior with Beta 9, and that if that caused them problems going back to 5.1 should help.
