I have the same problem, drank the wine, clicked the bed, got teleported to the room, but stuck after getting out of the pole, unable to move, but able to interact with the carpet.

 

(also @zb123thecat) Sounds like the issue I sometimes get with DD unlocks not restoring player controls as it should. I suspect it's a script lag related issue, also because of Zb's remark about the pole "not spawning": it's an object in the cell, not spawned in, but it can go invisible if the DD contraption lock script breaks, which happens in high script lag cases. Maybe also if you end up in an invalid DD device state. For now, try using the console command "epc" to enable your controls manually. I would also advise looking into script lag a bit, since it can break a lot of things in ways mod authors can't solve.

I missed an update between 1.02 and 1.03. After I updated things seem to be working. Good mod.

Congratulations for this mod. Its more than i expected.This a bit challenger sexy quest.

I expected more episodies with followers on future.

Good Job!

[Kasimus]

Now I'm usually not a big puzzle guy and get tired of being locked in devices pretty quickly but have to say I absolutely loved this mod, felt like I was in an escape room. Also really enjoyed how it was actually pretty immersive (within a NSFW skyrim playthrough), hot and worked perfectly with the story I was going for. Cannot wait for the 2nd and 3rd parts in future, great work! 

 

Spoiler

The only part I had to cheat a little bit for was reaching the sun panel, getting the cart into that room was stressful as hell and I just gave up and used moveto player, other than that everything worked really well for me. Would love to also have the ability to perhaps (depending on part 2 and 3s story) get the elf as a follower/dom with submissive lola. Also guessing we only get out inventory back when we do because it's only part 1 so far? 

 

Think this mod has great potential to be one of the best NSFW mods, loved my time playing it as well as the story and...

Spoiler

...and the interactions with Clavicus and Molag Bal? (if it is Molag Bal maybe make the one who fucks you in the pillory be called Avatar of Molag Bal and look a bit cooler :P)

 

Thanks for the mod and do you have a patreon? Very excited to see it finished ^^

There is a partial incompatibility with SLAX.

 

SLAX adds a "fatigue" to arousal, which can prevent arousal from ever hitting 100.

 

If arousal does not hit 100, DD won't send the orgasm.

 

Fix: Turn off fatigue, and anything else in SLAX that adds an arousal penalty.

 

 

I think fatigue doesn't even work in SLAX unless you have some unofficial patches installed anyway, but I was stuck on it before so thought I should mention it if nobody else has.

 

Really this is a SLAX <> DD incompatibility, but it soft locks this quest.

Great idea for a mod!  I am always on the lookout for addition of fun Bondage adventures, However I am not smart enough to figure this kind of stuff out:( HEck I couldnt even get past the first room, and just got to frustrated to have fun. 

Lovely Mod though, Still wanted to say that !!

Have a bug when you going to sleep on tavern , your charater jump and cant continue on the quest.

[Michelle Bubbles]

This is an excellent mod, loved it! I have only one techincal issue, that being the harness is invisible, as if it does not have a model/texture/what have you. It is also possible that is influencing the puzzle solution
 

Spoiler

Unless the solution is an UNGODLY amount of orgasms, I must have orgasmed at least 30 times and it did not budge.

 

It is not a massive bug and I could get around the solution of getting out of the harness with Devious Devices Equip, but it would be nice to fix it! Anyone knows what might be causing it?

Thanks ?

Spoiler

I have plans for what the fate of the elf will be, but I intend there to be multiple outcomes. A follower/dom is one of the options I'll look at.

 

Inventory you get back when you do because a) lorewise, the "game" is "finished" at that point and Irkalla feels confident in her failsafe, b) game design-wise, if you end up fighting Irkalla it'd be a bit lame to do so naked ? .

 

And no, I don't have a Patreon and don't intend on getting one. I do this for fun and for free.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll add a note to the compatibility section for it.

Thanks ? Don't feel bad about it, the puzzles in this are quite hard, that's why the hints exist. Making good hints is hard, though ? If you want, let me know what specifically you got stuck on and I can try to improve the hints.

Good to know. I was worried when I made that part about interactions with sleep mods, but didn't test it. I think I know how to fix it with a small change, though.

Thanks ? I suspect your issue is due to device equip function failing and putting the device in an invalid state. Happens when Skyrim fails to execute its scripts properly, due to script lag or some other mechanism (I think in SE it can kill scripts it deems "take too long"). Happens more often when you try to do a lot of script stuff all at once, such as equipping a bunch of devious devices all at once, or spam equip/unequipping them. Only fix I know of (on the mod author's side) is to equip. devices. very. sloooooowly. I've seen a few reports that I suspect are due to high script load during start, so I might try to tweak it.

[mcnv]

I love it. Although I'm not much of a Bondage fan but I quite like it in this instance. Personal preference, more sex but all the small dexterity mechanics such as dragging certain items around makes me think more sex would just ruin it. 

[Bleudf]

Has anyone written a complete guide for this mod?

[MrBig]

played this on LE without any major problems and absolutly loved it.

nice challange, excellent premise. I really look forward to part 2 (providing its still compatable with LE which fingers crossed) and seeing where it leads with the captor (who just makes me think of the captured dreams master)

a full on dom outcome would be incredible. especially as way to maybe have some shorter repeatable versions of the quest that she throws her toy into when it pleases her

for a more submissive approach a 'reverse' escape game could be good where instead of escaping various bonds you instead have to get more bound to progress. like a pressure plate that your feet dont fit in but ballet heels would work or maybe another daedric statue but it only understands gag speak for example.

This would be seriously cool. Like the Cursed Collar quest, where you only learn more when you tie yourself up, but also more puzzly like part 1. Thinking of other ways to explain why you need to bind yourself to get through is a little trickier outside of the pressure plate idea, though, without hand waving it as "the magic lock senses you aren't appropriately locked up" or something.

The only other flavourful things I can think of is needing a full enclosure catsuit (gloves, boots, and mask too) to get past a gas or a liquid of some kind like in the Trapped in Rubber quests (do people still remember that mod?), or a plug/gag plug that needs to be transported somewhere at body temperature, locked in to make sure it doesn't fall out.

[BoneCaster]

great quest, thanks for making it

I am unable to get a hint. The orb tells me the price... but I see no option to actually try to masturbate. How do you do that?

you just need to add a mod that allows you to tell your avatar to masterbate.  the only one i know of is sexlab survival there might be other mods that provide similar funtions but you'd have to dig around for such

[destroyer1012]

this turned out to be a pretty fun mod but i have an issue that i can't seem to work around. i have succesfully got all devious devices of with the obvious exception to the nipple peircings. i have all the keys and made the deal with the dremora from the molag shrine next to the book cases. i accept his deal for sex inreturn for removing the barrier. he does his thing no muss no fuss. but i have to force him into conversation to get him to dispell the barrier before he dispawns leaving you in the pillary here is were the problem is.

 

i can't actually interact with the pillary after the whole dremora scene plays out and all i get is a constant <A TALK - {INSERT DREMORA NAME}> this is proventing me form trying to escape from the pillary to get to the door and whatever is left of the puzzle. Note:the <A TALK - {INSERT DREMORA NAME}> automatically happens directly upon the sex scene concluding and is not a result of forceing him into conversation

Sexlab adventures but for some reason it both work and does not work. you'll pay the price but you('r character) won't masturbate.

That's a peculiar one. Here's how it's supposed to happen:

Spoiler

the sexlab scene ends, the dremora says his "ah that was fun" line, starts walking away, but stops close-by enough that you can initiate conversation, you talk with him, then he walks off and disappears, then the pillory becomes interactable again.

But for you, it sounds like what happens is:

Spoiler

the sexlab scene ends, the dremora says his "ah that was fun" line, but then tries to forcegreet/talk to you, and does not start walking?

 

I can think of two things that can mess this up: 1) Do you have any mods that change the way conversations work, perhaps specifically relating to devious devices/contraptions? 2) the dremora AI can't pathfind to his destination, so he starts the talk bit too early, and it repeats somehow. This might be a navmesh/AI issue? I'm not sure.

 

The dremora does make a forcegreet attempt after he walked a bit and stopped (I initially tried to force the conversation that way, but it never worked right). Maybe the issue is in there. Need more details, I'm afraid.

I can't find how to open jail cell door did look around and there no keys on the floor

[destroyer1012]

 

Spoiler

 

this one is a pre scene start

 

Spoiler

this bit is an accurate representation of how the sex act both starts and ends but i believe this is sexlab framework related. but it seems thats its around this stage were things get tripped up when the sex act itself ends just before his "ah the was fun" line

 

Spoiler

 

this one is just as the oriogional pillary returns 

 

Spoiler

 

just before he tps out of the room

 

Spoiler

attemting to interact with the pillory with no success and as you can see barriers down

speach part goes fine deal gets made no problem. scene starts as expected with SLF substituting the cantraption pillary for the SLF generated one. scene concludes and SLF pillory disappears and contraptions pillory restores. it seems to be somewere between SLF pillory disappearing and cotraption pillary respawning that causes the aforementioned problem. drem says his line "ah that was fun" moves over to the side abit and will either say what until dialogue is entered via player input. he dispells the barrier as agreed and then despawns from the room to tak his nap. and thus upon trying to interact with the pillory itself it becomes impossible due to the issue seen in the screenshots.

 

to my knowledge none of the mods i possess alter how conversations work or alter any aspect of devious devices, i decided to test on a new profile using only mods that don't have any connection to devious devices or have any connection to dialogue. having only SLF - DD(AIO) - SLA - and this mod.retried the senario and no change in what happensss in this bit. clutching at straws i ended up updating fully to the latest AE version and all mods i needed to update for awhile but never got around to retryed and still in the same situation only this time i got whats displayed in the screenshot just below. 

 

Spoiler

 

tried one last thing before giving up. instead of locking the pillory outright i set it onto a timer so that it would auto release upon a certain passing of time 1hr ingame. this generally worked and allowed for the last part though im not sure if this created an undesirable effect. as test one i didn't speak to clavicus and got paralyzed (i was curious on that route) but all that happened was pc dropped like a rock and then ragdolled then just got back up nothing else happened. test 2 i spoke to clavicus made the deal with him confronted the elf killed her and completed the quest with full acknowldgement all round.

go to the cell bars and look into the other room and focus on the left wall about half way up you will see the the key hanging on a key hook, try to pick it up and it will fall to the floor
