A way to return to neutralness after Season Unending negotiations: addfac -1 triggerbox

[hotrack]

If we were to engage in a non-Civil War questline Season Unending negotiation, it appears we are slapped with a CW faction rank at the conclusion of all the talking. While it would make sense for a blatant favoritism to induce a faction rank upon the player, even a supposedly neutral ending causes the player to be unceremoniously dumped with an Imperial faction rank [the mod Immersive Patrols noted this and suggested console addfac -1].

Rather than changing the quest scripts, which will introduce a whole lotta problems, a triggerbox that addfac -1 the Imperial and Stormcloak factions (for the player only), enabled for the occasion just outside the meeting room, should do the trick (though in reality, it's a place no one ever visits more than twice [the next is the post-Sovngarde epilogue dialogue with Arngeir]).

Obviously, the intent of the mod is for those non-CW-joiners who wish to have a relatively immersive way (non-console) to strip the faction off us, rather than players who want to join a side beforehand.

 

Plus, I hate Imps calling me Auxiliary.

 

Can someone create a simple mod for this?

Do you want to do the meeting for gameplay / role playing reasons but remain unaffiliated, or do the various mods that remove the requirement for the meeting prior to capturing the dragon in Dragonsreach not work on SE?

I generally do the meeting for gameplay/roleplaying purposes, although I do run AYOP - Main Quest (but disable the skip-SeasonUnending option), but also to solve an unusual bug I had with the Dawnguard-added quest "Lost to the Ages" Aetherium Forge causing a CTD when the tower went up if the Rift CW Imperial camp was still enabled nearby (I'm not too sure if I solved it in subsequent modding, but I'm not taking a chance on that one).

 

And yeah, like I said, I hate Imperials calling me 'Auxiliary' (I forgive Arthmoor's Dragon Bridge's Tasius Tragus', but that's it).
