question, how should I update the mod? by disabling/uninstalling it in the MCM or is it safe to overwrite it in mid game?

It should be safe to update, but there is no guarantee it would work. If you want to update, replace the files but keep a backup safe in case it doesn't work correctly after update, then try disabling and making a clean save before updating.

Checking inventory items was the slowest part of the mod. Now that I write it in c++ as skse plug-in with my system's ancient cpu, it take only 3 to 4 seconds to check thousands of items instead of minutes.

This looks promising, I like the idea of manageable risk/price when it comes to player death, without it being excessively punishing ( or none at all; like giving gold, when there is so much of it in abundance).

Some ideas/suggestions?

- Unique spell that player casts on themselves that allows you to retrieve your body/experience after your death. But it comes at a price; of lowering your health/magicka/stamina ( individual or all three), while it's active. It's cost scales based on your level. General idea is that you have to sacrifice something for assurance of revival.

When you die you turn into a ghost ( non detectable, lose all your gear except soul gems, can't attack or cast spells), and when you interact with your body, it consumes either a filled soul gem or dragon soul ( temporarily boosts your stats), time slows down/freezes, so you have a brief time to equip your gear and spells.

- Scaling price for resurrection, based on player level. Something like lvl 1-10: minor soul gem,  lvl 50+: Grand soul gem.

- Compatibility patch for Nemesis of Skyrim mod ( so this mod handles everything death related, while unique perks and enemy boosts come from that mod)

Pama's Deadly Furniture is something that could be an amazing optional add on, to add the possibility of being executed via its various methods.

Hi, I'm reporting a bug with Mark of Arkay:

 

The rape option with OStim doesn't work, the NPCs are just there, standing (and laughing if the idle options are enabled), but the OStim scene never triggers. I think the mod is not compatible with the last OStim Standalone version.

That's not a bug or related to this mod. The latest OStim update needs a new game.

You're right. When starting a new game it works fine, but when loading the game it stops working. I don't know what they changed. I'll ask on their discord to see if they can help since I didn't change anything and the scripts compile without error.

Ok, found the problem. They probably fix it in next OStim update.

Updating OStim standalone to 7.3.3a should fix the bug.

Is there any way I can use this mod with 1.59SE?

有什么方法可以在 1.59SE 中使用这个模组吗？

In my old saves the MCM menu showed but the trade menu didn't exist after my pc died.

And in a new save MCM always says mod busy.

yes, use BEES so this mod is backwards compatible

[Relion]

Potential incompatibilty with Skyrim Save System Overhaul 3 or other mods that mess with save files.
I had the issue of mod just not working on a new game, The MCM would only say "mod is busy". I disbaled SSSO3 and now it wokrs fine.

[maltodaxtrin]

How does this mod interact with complex followers like Serana Dialogue Add-On and Ashe (same author), can it break their scripts when you "die" ?

 

Looks interesting at the very least!

[kamithemoon]

Gonna try this in VR later.  Fingers crossed it works out of the box!

 

But looking at the esp, may I make a request for additional dialogue?  In vanilla skyrim, after you're killed, bandits will say a few lines about not finding you anymore (actually a bug, since you're lying dead at their feet).  But perhaps we can get new dialogue instead about how they're excited to rob/rape your corpse?  Or, if you revive near them or return to them to extract revenge, new dialogue on how they thought they killed you already? =D.

 

"Didn't we already kill you?"
"You look like someone I killed earlier?"
"Hah! Looking for revenge for your twin sister, sweetheart?"

"Lets see what kind of valuables this bitch has on her."
"I'm going to have some fun before her body gets too cold."

"Stupid bitch, coming in here...  Now to have some fun."

 

I dunno, just throwing things at the wall and hoping something sticks.

Reporting a niche crash. Crashes without crashlog when used with Dynamic Collision Adjustment. Using OStim version, haven't tested with others. Anyone else get this?

How do I get respawning to work? Every time I've lost a battle with this mod enabled I either just die (or revive if I've disabled "die if can't respawn"), or the game crashes, and debug menu says "respawn is currently disabled", but I can't see any problem with my respawn settings, and nothing I tweak seems to enable respawning, nor does giving myself the mark spell and setting a mark.

 

Edit: Recall spell also just does nothing, probably with the same root cause.

Qustion

Are follower not included in the Sexlab Scenes or do i need to set something in the MCM. Like this mod but somehow odd when the follower just sttands around during scenes.

[dLb321]

This doesn't seem to work with VR. When you die you don't respawn, instead you just get up and can continue the fight.

[skyrimsimpire43]

ran into an issue, if I revive with a mark of arkay and die again, I no long get asked if I want to revive, I just get auto picked up

 

EDIT: Setting the bleedout timer to 4 seconds in the MCM seems to have fixed the issue
