Hulda complains "what woman would walk in naked" and not heeding our relationship rank. I'd expect something along "there's my Dibellan angel again. Be careful, dear."

 

Would have been nice to once find a mod with a non mysogenic setting. Moving on.

I'm doing some writing for this mod. My plan is to have a variety of dialogs and greetings based on the NPC's personality. Hulda might act that way, but others will have lines more along those lines. Weather they get implemented will be Gristle's decision.

But I don't like the tone of the mod.  Everyone refers to me as a cheap whore, not as a priestess.

Not even Senna recognises me as one of her own.

I should have been more clear that the mod is incomplete. I called it a beta but I didn't want to use the word incomplete because it suggests the mod is not playable. The base naked gameplay mechanics are complete, but the dialogue, quest and event integration is not. Only dialogue for NPCs in Riverwood, Whiterun, Ivarstead exists. Thus, no dialogue for Senna. Writing dialogue for every NPC in Skyrim is a large undertaking. It will take some time.

 

As for the tone, no one calls you a "cheap whore" in the mod. There are about 30 dialogue lines where the word "whore" is used (out of 750), but some of these are phrased as questions, or might even border on affectionate ("little whore"). These are all conditioned with relationship rank < 1.  Also, who said you're a priestess just because you took the vow?

The greetings in Whiterun are always the same. No matter how often I visit Belethor, he offers me the same lame job over and over. Ulberth asks me every time for nord cok or armour, Uthgerd's normal dialogue is completely gone - she's always my favourite follower with her rough edges, but I can't even ask her for a brawl.

This is not part of the mod's design. These greetings are "Say Once" dialogue lines. This is working fine for me and others. I suspect this is caused by a mod conflict in your setup.

I like your line, but to me that's appropriate for relationship rank 4. I intend to add more comments for relationship rank 1+. This is one of the reasons I suggested trying the mod with a new game.

Wearing a Dibellan amulet will affect the dialogue somewhat, but per Senna's letter, the mod assumes that it's very uncommon for people to take this vow.  Look at the priestesses in Markarth, for example. They don't run around naked. Thus, it shouldn't be surprising that some (minority of rel. rank < 1) people might react negatively to the sight of a naked woman walking down the street, even if she is wearing a Dibellan amulet. To me, that's realistic and immersive. I don't see how that's misogynistic.

Yes, like killer905 said, you can install mid-game. 

Yes. The core "naked gameplay" mechanics are finished. However, only five vanilla quests have been modified to reflect a naked PC. And only Riverwood, Whiterun and Ivarstead have custom NPC dialogue and mini quests.  So, there's obviously a lot more than can be done there. The plan is to develop the quests and locations in the order a low-level PC would play.

I don't think so. I'd have a hard time writing immersive dialogue for that. Also, it would likely double the voice file efforts and sizes.

Thank you for your detailed reply!

As for other local quests, i would prefer to see PC spreading Dibella's love to more people (like the mini-quest of Camilla and Adrianne), or maybe to some humanoid creatures like draugr, falmer or rieklings? For example, when PC received Dibella's blessing or equipped amulet of Dibella, those creatures will be friendly to PC, so that PC may ask them for sex.

[SleepyM8]

Do you think you will make it so people will stop constantly bad mouthing you? 

Like become so important and do enough quests like the Camilla one where you make a bunch of people start taking the vow. 

 

Basically start a revolution in the Debelian faith lol

There will definitely be more mini quests, and many will certainly involve nudity. As for beasts, I think beastiality is more aligned with Sanguine than Dibella. This may factor into a later purity/corruption aspect to be added to the mod.

Here are ways you can get fewer negative comments:

• Have sex with anyone who offers in the mod - this will raise their relationship rank
• Use a mod like SLEN to have sex with NPCs - this will raise their relationship rank
• Use the console to adjust the default 70% random comment percentage to a lower number, e.g., 'set DBL_AllowComment to 30' (or whatever number you want)
• Wear an Amulet of Dibella
• With later mod releases: do more mini-quests like the ones with Camilla, Adrianne and Fastred - this will raise their relationship rank

As above, but the plan is to include a "main quest" at some point where the PC helps build or rebuild a Dibellan temple.

I looked at your provided link, are you making a mod that does this?

It is a bit out of my comfort zone to try to doo the instructions, old and a novice at these type of things.

Thanks!

It was applied to a specific dress. I included the ESP to serve as a guide for anyone who wants to give it a try. 

[ixtheinterloper]

potentially something to consider with the corruption system, i find new vegas' fame and infamy method of tracking reputation to be more interesting than a strict sliding scale of goodness, but on the other hand having to account for a half dozen combinations of both statistics probably creeps the scope too hard to be practical

 

also, are there currently any plans to have corruption have an effect on the tenants of the temple quest, or is the idea just too conceptual to make a definitive statement about?

[Maidenslayer]

Your description page mentions two weapons:

 

Blade of Dibella (Spell, works only when naked)
 - Same as bound sword, except 50% longer duration)

 

Sanguine's Bow (Spell, works only when naked)
 - Same as bound bow, except lower magicka cost and arrows can strip targets

 

Can you provide a hint as to where to obtain these items?

 

I really enjoy this mod and look forward to future Dibella-related quests.

You receive it after taking the vow.

Great mod, just like all the others you work on. I'm playing with ostim lovers in addition, to fully roleplay The "Spreader of love". When it comes to balance it's close to normal playthrough in terms of difficulty, especially on lower levels.

Some animals are associated with tamrielic pantheon - Mara is represented as wolf, Dibella as cat and moth, so I guess some animals would fit, wolves, sabrecats. When it comes to other creatures some draugrs wear amulets of dibella and falmers are fueled by hatred so Dibella's love could be counterpart for it.

 

 

Frodnar 4E 201 - "I think I'm not allowed to look at you".

Great one.

If I start a new save with vanilla start (waking up on the carriage), this mod will not work correctly. Praying to the shrine will only give vanilla blessings, and even if I use console command to skip quest stage, NPCs won't behave as the quest should be. Only if I choose another starting, this mod will work just fine.

Not a big problem, but maybe something needs to be checked?

Try save before use shrine or taking note from dead body and load.

I tried the vanilla opening, and it worked fine for me. It might be another mod you're using that's conflicting. Do you have any mods that change the base shrines?

Please let me know if you have any feedback on the mod, in particular whether you think it makes a starting or higher level PC too weak or too strong.

So far, nothing too difficult to handle. The gargoyle at The Bleak Falls Sanctum , after a good fuck

 

Spoiler

 

he was silenced with the right spell   Constellation Magic (stardust) 

The only thing out of the ordinary is that, after the sex, the gargoyle remained practically immobilized. All it took was a tap to wake him up

I have no idea, this isn't a big problem though, so just let it go.

Some things I would like added / changed:

- As of now, if you summon your "Blade of Dibella" during your sparring match with Vilkas, he will give his vanilla line, complaining that you're using magic and they don't "do" magic around here. I think that should be changed so that you get special dialogue if you use your Dibella abilities for this sparring match. That would make it more immersive, and make it easier RP-wise for a Priest / Magic character to do the companions questline.
- I think it would be cool if there was a rank above Herald where the player must be nude even in dungeons.
- Strength of the bound weapons should scale with your rank.

If you're daring, you can go naked anywhere and under any circumstances

After  pc rebuild Dibellan temple, Can pc recruit new members for the Dibellan Temple Guardians like the blades ? Dragonborn adventures with Dibellan Temple Guardian (lidia,Rayya,Jordis the Sword-Maiden,lona,even Animal Research character) would be amazing.

Well right, but it would be cool if the system enforced / recognized it and eventually maybe rewarded you for it.
