I honestly think you could remove uncle Benji and his content without it affecting the mod very much. As it currently stands the mother tells you to run off to him and either you do or you don't but it's a mod dead end either way. It just feels underdeveloped and if you're wanting to remove the mother from Dragonsreach anyway then you could probably remove all the uncle Benji plotline as well without too much difficulty.

Yes. Am considering this tbh.

She just needs to be dominant towards the PC.

Exactly. 

Let's not forget that you're the one that dragged her into this. She's going to have a certain animosity towards you...

Any one interested in coming up with a tat? Maybe something like half a heart or something like that, when pushed together form a whole?

Great. Now I just need to figure out how to turn it into an overlay. 

Don't suppose you have a version where white = transparent?

Added to my previous post. The transparent *.png is also included.

This will work... I think...

I can see this working if the sister gets one first while you're asleep, the father shows you (or gets the daughter to show you, or she shows you herself "now look what he's done to me") and then later on her forces you to get the matching half. He doesn't need to pin you down and do it himself but he could send you to someone with the right skills, probably taking your sister along to show them what he wants done (even 'though she probably went to the same person in the first place but then, if we are playing up the daughter as naiive.... maybe you had to take your sister there for some treatment in the first place and didn't find out what she'd had done 'til you got home).

Like the idea of the black sacrament. Should require rare-ish ingredients to perform. Can only be performed once a day and takes x number of performances to begin assassination...

And it's all bullshit anyway, since currently there's no listener, so the true principal of the crime would be the person who gave the PC this idea in the first place.

The good thing about this scenario, is that because of there being no Listener, the DB get their contracts through word-of-mouth. Aventus was performing the Sacrament over and over until the PC turns up to start the questline. Much the same could be said for the PC here, maybe with a slider or a randomizer for the required attempts?

Looks good, just need to split in the middle and it'll be perfect.

Again. Looking for suggestions to fill in the gaps on:

Mother alive benefits

Bit esoteric, but maybe Father starts "gifting" you jewelry that Mother had for special occasions, necklace etc. that isn't initially but can be tied into the Fashion upkeep, giving you the ability to sell it for more gold, but it might come back to bite you. Could even be topped off with a ring (or a new collar?) when you slavewife it up.

Currently, for mother's death we have an xp debuff. Mother being alive could grant a small xp buff as our girl feels positive that she's at least helping pay for her mother's treatment. If not an xp buff then perhaps a carry weight buff to help her with her tasks and duties.

An exp buff and/or speech buff could be good as the PC is having a confidence boost from helping.

Yup. 

I'm going to guess I'll run into deformity trouble when applying kapibars heart to an actual body due to the curvature of the mesh... 

Depending on where it's applied ofc. Unfortunately, all the best bits are curvy

Tramp stamp spot ?

There's also a downside: the PC does not exactly interact with people. So it'd be hard to believe any rumors about her performing the ritual would actually reach the brotherhood. To make it believable, the scenario would require someone from the outside to be informed that she indeed wants father dead. There's also a matter of payment. The Brotherhood is not exactly a charity.

Always a good choice! This, or the buttock.

The Sacrament isn't quiet, all it really takes is someone who knows the words to overhear, or someone to catch on when you turn up buying certain ingredients, from there, the rumour spreads (but the time between those coincidences helps make it difficult to achieve, its not something that would happen instantly). There is the matter of payment, though, yes, but with the suggestion of one of Father's friends being the beneficiary we can sort that, or the DB exact payment from you another way.

Like father, who sure as shit knows the words of the ritual and practically cut off your access to the market. PC would have to be extremely cautious about this whole thing.

Hmm. I think you might want to move them over towards the centre a bit more. As it currently stands they look like they're falling off/slipping off the sides. The arse cheeks might just work better.

 On the bum I'd actually have them the other way 'round facing inwards instead of outwards towards each other. That way it would be more obvious that it's half aheart and easier ti imagine the entire thing being there. It would defeat the objective of being able to put them together but it would sort of fit better.

Shaky fat fingers idea of how you could have both?

Mmm, didn't come out as well as I had imagined. I think what ever shape we go with would have to be complemented by the female figure and position it goes onto. 

Like if the heart was made big enough to imply that the other half of the heart was the outline of her hips. 

I dunno. I'm not a great visual/artistic guy. 

[Monoman1]

Something like this...

 

Or the other half wrapped around her hip to the other side...

Definitely feel like making it a tramp stamp would be easier to do and easier to visually imply with (i.e, father has you both bent over)
