Great work. I really enjoyed playing through this, and I had no real bugs other than the usual Skyrim jank. I couldn't stay shackled because every time he hit me I would stumble out of it, but oh well.

The voice acting for Keldarin is pretty good. The tortures all worked perfectly. I only had the sex scene play once though, wish it would happen more often since I was spamming (Remain silent) and just repeating the other torture events.

Looking forward to this being expanded upon, like having a female Thalmor for male characters. Maybe some more sexual/degrading comments would be cool too. Perhaps more long term consequences to being tortured so much could be interesting.

Small question please.  I'm guessing  you use Precision and the whipping collision  knocks  you loose from furniture/cuffs, etc.  I have this bug with Naked Defeat but there is a workaround.  The question is does getting knocked loose cause problems other than visual issues?  With ND  you have to reset collision and take an action to reattach and proceed.  Otherwise it's a save and reload to reset player collision.  Thank you. ☺️

I do use Precision. It didn't cause me any issues, but I could walk around while the guy was "torturing" me with his whip and spells. I could also just re-enter the shackles by interacting with them, but the camera angle is hard to see in them. Not a big deal.

I'd like to see a tie in to simple slavery where you become his slave. Maybe a small quest mod that lasts and hour or two. Of course keeping it fully gender neutral so that anyone can do it. There is seriously a lack of gay or bisexual male content across the Skyrim modding community. 

Your in luck it looks like someone is converting some mods over to gay style of mods, you may wish to contact that mod creator and see if he/she is willing to create a few mods you use to that style. I just seen them come up the last few days

So I downloaded the more recent version, the one that is listed as added on Wednesday, not the May 10th version.  I added it mid-play through but well before the quest to rescue Thorald.  I went down to the docks and Keldarin wasn't there, I tried the setstage command and it did not work.  I typed "help Keldarin" and it came up empty.  Was I supposed to use both files are just the most recent?

Hmm, sounds like it wasn't installed correctly if nothing is coming up for either setstage or "help Keldarin". You should only use one file, not both. Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the mod? Have you made 100% sure that it's enabled in your mod manager?

I have not tried uninstalling and reinstalling the mod.  Unfortunately, I'm well passed the saving Thorald quest and I thought you could not install it afterwards so I didn't bother trying that.  I am 100% sure it's installed and enabled in the mod manager, I checked it three times.  I think you're right, it must not be installed correctly otherwise I should get info on Keldarin when I check in the console.  I will try again in a future play through with a new character, just thought I would ask.  Thanks for the swift reply.

Try to enter "setstage cbtsintro 0" without the commas and see if Keldarin is at the docks.

At least with my console, "help ____" command returns nothing for everything unless I specify a type, I think "help Keldarin 4" to search all forms? Otherwise maybe this is the issue where the author upgraded their CK version and you need to install B.E.E.S. to have the .esp work with your older Skyrim version

Thanks, that's one of the first things I tried.

I'll try the Keldarin 4 and see if that does anything.  I have Skyrim version 1170, so I'm up to date, B.E.E.S. not required.

Unsure if its an error on my part but I can't see to get a consistency with the detection. He'll start out the interrogation and it plays out fine. i get sent to the cell and i sleep. I'm back in the restraint, but he starts speaking without it detecting my character and he's no longer able to be interacted with. tried waiting but nothing seems to happen.

 

tried reloading, but sometimes the camera will break and I'll lose control of the character, along with interactions being unavailable.

 

Remaining silent also breaks detection and seems to just cause the interrogator to idle

Not really sure what to do at this point, detection sometimes works and sometimes leaves me on idle. He will start dialogue, but ill have no way of responding as if i had exited the conversation. Any ideas or possible commands that could fix it?

 

also tried moving him to me with the moveto command to see if the detection would work that way and it didn't help.

Mod is really good. One thing that could improve it is making it take a bit longer to escape. I was rescued after my first sleep and it's a bit disappointing for it to end so early since I didn't get a chance to see each torture at least once.

Hmm. That's not behavior that's been reported elsewhere. If you reload a previous save and start the quest again, does the same problem happen? Also, do you have any other mods that might be affecting player detection and/or NPC dialogue?

So far, reloading a previous save sometimes pushes the scenes further but they all end with failed detection. Unsure if Sexist Guards dialogue would interrupt the interrogator since its usually more background chatter than an interactive scene. I have various combat mods and Smooth cam in this build, but I don't think a further camera would cause a detection failure. 

might do some tests with turning off various mods i have like SL Approach and maybe toggling Smooth Cam. 

 

I'll update if anything changes

Quick Update: Smooth Cam seemed to be the culprit. I reloaded before using the command to start the CBT quest, toggled Smooth Cam off and it seemed that the camera was messing everything up. still ran into some issues where the camera would break sometimes, but way less frequent.

Ah, thank you for reporting back! I'll add a note to the mod page.

[merpbandit]

An absolutely terrific mod, my favorite ever, period. Thank you. Would love more like it or by you.

@lollllllllllnope Have you thought about making a female interrogator yet? I can easily switch the gender in creation kit, but I'm having a difficult time with implementing the voice. Of course I'd like to use elevenlabs for the quality. I've been thinking about a way to do it myself, testing it and letting you know.

Thinking about it is literally the farthest I've gotten, lol. I don't see myself tackling this any time in the near future--it took me eight months to finish this and I'm exhausted--so if you want to take a crack at doing a female version, by all mean give it a shot

I'll switch the interrogator out and see how the mod plays out. I'll let you know.

IS the female interogator there yet? Please I need some Femdom action man xD. I hope you recover from that burnout.

Having issues with Keldarin showing up, using the command Help Keldarin shows that he exists so the mod is installed and running, I started and completed the thorald quest after installing, and even tried using the command as well but no matter what Keldarin just isn't there at the docks at any hour of the day. Any suggestions? Is there an ID I could use to just teleport him to me and have the conversation?


EDIT found him, JK's Solitude Outskirts caused him to fall into the river and float away

New issue, as soon I sleep I get a loading screen as expected, but then wind up in a black screen with ambient audio and the game freezes entirely, I'm forced to close and restart with task manager.
Anyone else experience this?

I haven't heard about that behavior in particular--most people are just reporting plain old CTDs--but is it possible that installing SSE Engine Fixes might help?

 

Also thanks for reporting back about JK's Solitude Outskirts; I'll add that to the compatibility section

I have SSE engine fixes already, so it's not that I don't think.
Not sure what else to try but when I have time I can troubleshoot further maybe.

What happens if you enter "coc cbtsprisoninterior" into the console? The same behavior, or does it transport you to the prison?
