@Delzaron Just did a playthrough of things as they are, I have played the original multiple times and while the old one is fun this is like night and day better, you've really improved your quest building - I really enjoyed the increased amount of player choice and look forward to the rest of this.

 thx !

After speaking to the argonian slaver he sends the character to a cell and walks away. Nothing happends afterwards. Is this supposed to be the end of chapter 1 or do I have a bug?

The best way is to disable all other mods (except those required by FDP) and enable one by one mods at time until CTD starts.

[Delzaron]

At least, I finished the chapter 2 !

 

I'll advance a few things, and make the update. Maybe after the first attemp of sanity script (thx to chat gpt).

 

Chapter 3 will come. I'll need your help to make it good.

 

There will 4 arcs :

- The hallucinated mountain. You'll need to team with Nuai, choose to save the rieklings from hunters hired by the jarl of winterhold or not, organize the expedition to the hallucinated moutain (I don't know where to place it yet : Solstheim ? a new small world ?).

Establish your camp (if you saved the riklings, you'll be member of their tribe, that's mean events), explore the ruin, face a shoggoth, find elements about the history of the cult of Dagon and the great ancients in general. There is a need to make the player choose between save or kill Nuai, for example during the fight with the shoggoth, or for a ritual.

 

- dawnstar : Norren and his friends, Ulwa and Karloman, want to establish a cult of Dagon in Dawstar, but they lack lot of knowledge. Yo'ull need to join the cult, recruit Diraela Shalmi (the missing girl sold as slave, so you can recover her), and help them to build the cult.

You expect the end : they are just sacrifices. At a point, I need to include player need to choose to kill or spare Kjegrim.

 

- Solitude : I don"t have the story yet. I wish a mix of smuggling artifacts, degenerate nobles who seek power and influence by joining a cult. Of course, you'll need to choose between kill or spare Fulvius Cato. I want to involve Mankara, she's the main foe after all.

 

- the dreams. At some steps of the others arcs, you'll be able to dream and go back to Ryelh. Each time the priestesses will talk to you, and try to make you do deeper.

It's here you'll learn how to perform the second oath, necessary for the cult of dawnguard.

At the beginning, you'll meet only Hak'kluru. After a time, Mankara will take the lead. You'll meet the last, the broodmother, when you'll perform the final step of the third oath. And the three of them togethers when you'll ascend to priestress.

The no return point is when Hak'kluru will ask you to make the third oath and give birth to a deep one. Refuse, you'll stay a investigator. Accept, you'll join the cultists, and the actions you'll made in the other arcs will lead you to the prietess part.

 

During all this arc, the presence of lurkers on coastal regions will increase, and some cultists will lurk in cities. It will dry your sanity.

 

Chapter 4 will be the end.

First, you'll go back to Insmouth, where some people you already met, like Maive.

You'll enter in a cave, where you'll face the consequences of your actions (the ghosts of people died because of you).

The final will be a promontary, where the final sacrifice will be done.

According to your actions, several endings available. Don't expect laying with everybody will lead to the better one.

I think it would be better to place it in Solstheim. She may die during the fight, but looking at the ritual option, may have bugs (blocking quest etc).

 

 

As for the rest, it sounds good in its current state.

Hi, there. I have troubles with aFTD2_Insmouth. Dialigue with Susasna about leaving Insmouth broken in second phrase. And i don't understand what needed to leave Insmouth exactly. Also aFTD2_zEnd broken, no new dialogue with Kjegrim, and quest didn't change stages even using setstage. Sorry for poor english

you need to leace insmouth because the cult know why you're here, accordin to Hak'kluru.

 

The end ing is not done in this version, I need to makr the update, but I'm investing my time onf preparing a exam for a job.

I see that these are mainly corrections to already reported bugs, so I'm waiting for the next update with new content

I begin to write nuai quest for chapter 3, but it's only a start.

Hi,

I wanted to try the mod, because it sounded cool, but I have encountered a strange issue. Insmouth exists on the map and when I get there, the doors are there (and probably also the meshes, since I walk against invisible walls), but nothing else. I have checked and I have both mods and the dragonborn dlc installed and the modmanager does not detect any conflicting files with other mods, nor do I have any mod that places something in that area. I tried multiple new saves, but I always have the same issue. A while ago, I tried to run the mod with dyndolod and there dyndolod complained as well, so I have no idea what I am doing wrong... But it is probably something stupid.

The location of the city of "Insmouth" has been changed (the door is the remains of the city just this place need clean up) and the only way to get to city it is to complete the first stage of the investigation, and then you get to the city itself.

 

You can start the task at any inn keeper.

Ahhh ok, that makes sense! Thank you!

I just started this mod today, I'm at the island doing a merchant job ...find the wine and deliver to brothel house. I assume it is the red silk place. I have the wine but no one has a dialog to deliver it, or am i at the wrong place? thanks

At the moment, you can only complete this task through setstage ;( Madam brothel does not have the appropriate dialogue to complete the task.

There was an issue with the guard's sword, but it may have been fixed since the last time I checked the mod.

I've played this last version waiting for the update and these are my considerations and issues.

First part enough smooth ,problems with Norren only : if you try to avoid his game the

quest doesn't continue,if you accept, CTD when you reach him in water.

Solution in my case : accept ,let him go in water,stay away and setstage so quest completed.

I made the quests in this order Dawnstar,Windhelm,Winterhold and Solitude ,so no other problems.

When you are in Insmouth,played one time as merchant and another as prostitute.

Merchant: the known issue with the wine delivery, so setstage to have the other chores.

Hall of dead,setstage after killing the last spider or you can't speak with the priestess and 

finish the chore.

Prostitute: after the time of serving the clients and gain a lot of trust you have 2 choices ,

visit a client in his room,totally bugged ,there aren't clients to visit so don't do it

the other is "slaver"and for this one no problem....

About the NPC, You can  hire Fiana only if you speak to her outside her home ,if you enter she claims 

you are an intruder so nothing to do ..... she is very ugly.

There are minors issues but the story is interesting and the main quest totally playable

Cheers!

I moved the twon to a small world.

You should reinstall the mod entirely if you let the old version.

 

I'll clean the remains when I'll can.
