devious devices Devious Lore

[jperrins66]

Is there a way to make the Allies option only available to say those who are allies or lovers or preferably only to those who are actual current followers ?

[datdude69]

Love this mod, particularly the devious allies aspect. Anything that inverts the dynamic between follower and player is a fun way to approach role-playing.

 

Two questions:

 

1. Where is Thelia located in her quest? I found her smuggled package and, because I wanted to see my protagonist struggle, put it on. Now I'm stuck as a ponygirl, which isn't the issue, but it's fun. I couldn't find Thelia in Whiterun though -- she wasn't where I looked before, and she wasn't at the Hammer-Worn Stables near Rorikstead.

 

2. How does one get Blacksmiths to help out? I see an option with blacksmiths that says "Can you do anything about these locks?" but they always respond with "I'm not going to run afoul of these guards. Get lost."

 

Much appreciated!

The quest marker should lead you to Thelia, and she'll be in one of the locations in Whiterun that's marked as an inn. It's usually the Bannered Mare, but it could also be the Drunken Huntsman or even the Goldenglow Estate.

You need to become friends with a blacksmith for them to trust you enough to unlock you.

I still didn't see a quest marker actually, but was able to run into her at the Bannered Mare. Not sure what's up with the quest marker being missing but it could've been only showing on the whiterun regional map which I don't think I checked.

 

Thanks for the blacksmith tip! Have a great day.

I downloaded the mod a few days ago and really like her but I don´t get any daedric charms. The items for the other 5 Lore Mongers I find and they work just fine. Any idea why?

Try looking through Forsworn Camps, Vampire Dens, and Warlock Hideouts.

@Code Serpent, thank you for the quick answer. i will go on another search once i got out of this legbinder-straightjacket

Is there a way to configure this mod so that it only affects female NPCs? I intend to play with a mixed group of followers, and I'd like it if opening trap containers didn't put devices on male NPCs.

NPCs will only be bound if you specifically choose to by asking them to look at the items you find that give devices, ie Nordic Urns, Dwarven Vials, etc.

Yeah, I thought I remembered a male follower being bound after opening a device container myself. Just tested it again, and that's not the case. Thanks for the reply and have a good one.

i cant seem to install this mod correctly... i have it in the correct spot according to LOOT and i have the patch and everything but still no mod

[Khe]

not sure what I did wrong, but uh...body morphs on the devious lore NPCs is screwy. their wrists are missing, being placed at water level for some reason. arms are rendering at incorrect layers,too, and breasts. like...having the breasts rendering from the girl's back, both her arms rendering on her left side, that sort of thing. I'm not sure how I caused this or how to fix it.

for now, I removed the bodymorphs and cleaned 'em out of the save with nioverride cleaner, and disabled morphs. it'll have to do  I guess.

You can ask for help from a Blacksmith you are friends with.

hey all,

  got a bit of an odd bug here - pretty sure its self inflicted too -__-;;

 

i walked away from a quest giver (the seer) after turning a quest too quickly - specifically after selecting my reward and the charm being pulled form my inventory but before the log updated- and left the inn.

 

Now her quest won't get completed in the mic objective tab. no map marker either. Other quests still worked (ran one for the stablehand, no issues)

 

is there a quest ID i can complete to mark the quest complete and move on? I'm working with 'safe funclist 1' .txt file, but not having much luck. all the quest IDs i try come up blank to sqs

What likely happened is the quest finished but just didn't clear the objectives correctly. So it's just a visual bug that you shouldn't need to worry about. When you next do the seer's quest it will hopefully mark that objective as completed.

that's my hope too. no map marker and nothing in SQT. Currently running quests trying to get hers to proc.

The Deadric charms I've founds since this occurred have acted as if there was no quest active, which is a good sign I think.

just completed one of her quests - this time the daedric charm went off - and no dice.

 

on the other hand, I now have a known save with the quest marker active, so let me see if sqt  >> completequest works...

[necrontyr525]

no dice. I also note that I have two "return to vigilent' entries in my quest journal. one remains after turning the quest in, and now I can't toggle it on and off (it's stuck in the 'off' state at least)

I probably need to fully reset that questline. got a name or ID handy I can search for?

should be _DL_QuestSeerRetrieve

ok, just saw this giving it a go here and...

 

damn. both resetquest and completequest came up dry. on the other hand, i now know the quests are all _DL-{thing} so that's a bonus.

can confirm sqs gives all stages as a 0 after running the above though.

/shrug

 

might it be another seer-related quest?

There's only one quest for each of the quest givers at the moment (Excluding the 3 training quests given by Hjorni)
