Quick As You Like! (A Devious Adventure)

[AtlantisJoe]

Just wanted to say great job and looking forward to your upcoming releases, hopefully something you still plan to do!

[DocClox]

Thanks. And yeah, I'm still planning on releasing. I rather doubt I'll make Halloween at this point, but probably not too much longer.

[Contessa]

I tried this mod and wow. What a harrowing experience! Running from the ass end of nowhere to some Cage on the other side of the world without the ability to defend myself was really fun and scary a few times. Too bad I got stuck in the cage and gave up but I may give it another go.

[DocClox]

Glad you enjoyed it (if that's the right word )

 

What happened with the cage? Did it glitch out?

 

The idea is you sleep for up to 24 hours and then you get another note outside the cage, but reachable through the bars. Pick up that and you'll see your means of escape. It can glitch though, so it is possible to do all that and still get stuck.

dam it i see you as last poster but no update >.<

Excellent mod, just finished my 1st run across skyrim, final "score":-

 

* one and half hour or real time

* 7 bandits

* one troll (ouch)

* chastity belt, and blindfold forced on me (which made navigating.... interesting)

Only bug i found was like others the quest didn't end - could get out of the cage ok with they key and could auto - complete the quest with set stage but no auto complete

 

Suggestions:

 

* Make the markers appear on the roads in a checkpoint like system, half the fun i found was dealing with the random encounters

* add "vingett' of what happens to the other races for you to run past

 

i shall keep an eye out for future updates

It may have. I got the note but never saw a means to escape. I plan to try this again so we'll see. It was certainly a different experience and I found it fun.

You got me Badders. I'm only delaying release to wind you up

Fun I have plans to stage some of the shorter races with blindfolds form the outset.

Interesting. Usually the problem is that the key clips through the platform and disappears. If you can get out the quest should end when you get your stuff back from the chest.

 

There's a note inside the chest as well. I might have set that as the trigger item, so it you leave it in the chest the quest would stay open. I'll have to look at that.

You mean keep the PC on the roads so she gets more encounters?

I'll spoiler this in case you want to see what happens on the second run

 

 

 

There should be a key underneath the note. If you don't pick the note up, you'll never see it. And it can clip through the platform and vanish when the note is picked up. It's quite rare that it happens, but you might have been unlucky. I have plans for a backup release mechanism, eventually..

I knew it, you bastard! You've got the next five versions already ready to go, you're just going to dole them out piecemeal, aren't you?

Are you also sitting on Elder Scrolls 6? Huh? Got the cure for cancer hanging around gathering dust, do you?

 

p.s. Have you looked at this recently:

http://www.loverslab.com/files/file/1313-escape-the-cell-live-another-life-and-skyrim-unbound-mini-addons/

It's got one of the "left for dead" scenarios set up... the one that starts you out at the same place. Those people will still be present at the same spot. I don't suppose it would be possible to do a sort of soft dependency on that mod, just check to see if it's active, and if so add a line of dialog about how this is not the first time someone's been left there, all tied up...

I dunno exactly what I'm asking here.

 

Actually, nevermind, silly idea I guess.

Nothing silly about it. I think I'll add some dialogue to Thad so if you wake up there he'll say, "What? Again? How does this keep happening?" Or something like that. Thanks for the idea.

I'm half asleep right now so I am not able to clarify, or even actually collect, my thoughts, so what I start out writing may not have anything in common with what I finish posting.

Sort of like drunk dialing, I guess.

 

My ideal situation would be that every mod everywhere, everytime, would interface beautifully with every other mod ever created, and all reference each other as needed, and never have any conflicts.

 

And world peace and free beer too.

I was going to ask why a cure for cancer wasn't part of your ideal vision, but then I remembered that the serendipitously-named DocClox already has it. Hopefully it will be released soon too.

Well, your previous 2 mods never made it so, third time's the charm

I feel ever so motivated :/

 

Don't let him get to you, doc! We know you're good enough!

 

I mean, just by looking at your profile I can see you don't even have two previous mods, just one! So it's not the third time yet!

 

     

 

EDIT: Dang it, why isn't there a smiley face for "damned with faint praise" or something?

 

 

 

 

 

If I ever get this next release out the door.

Well, your previous 2 mods never made it so, third time's the charm 

Yeah, that wasn't nice. This mod could already be considered complete - it tells a story, from beginning to end, and is entertaining. In that sense, he has completed an entire mod, which is an accomplishment, as anyone who has had the misfortune of wrestling with the CK can tell you. The fact he is willing to add more to the story is a huge bonus.

 

 

 

It seems everyone is under the impression my comment was meant to be snide or disrespectful. I can assure you this was not the case. 

I'm sorry if I have offended you in any way doc. The Skyrim Slavers guild was simply too big, so no blame there. And during your development of The Love of Mara you had RL issues to deal with, which is of course always more important. Take all the time you need and even if you somehow don't manage to finish this mod (and it basically already is finished) then I won't think less of you in any way

 

Please forgive me and my poor sense of humor ^^

[DocClox]

Nah, you're all right mate

 

I was just trying to give you back like for like. We go back far enough that it'd take more than that for me to take offence at you

Iknew it, you bastard! You've got the next five versions already ready to go, you're just going to dole them out piecemeal, aren't you?

Look, I'm not allowed to release TES6 until I finish debugging Fallout 4.

 

The cancer cure is still buggy, but I can't spare any time to work on it until I get this Ebola outbreak sorted out.

any screen shots of new content to give us something to drool over ? that might help lower our hunger for the mod a little bit

[Content Consumer]

Ooh... let me, let me!

Here is the "something red" he was talking about:

 

 

It's fun being mean.

[BringtheNoise]

Lets see.... their are a couple of things that can be hinted at like a Cart Ride + Red + uh some other stuff...

But, don't get chained down waiting for a sneak peak at what is in store for the mod....

 

How about... I like pony boots, do you like pony boots, can you run in pony boots... okay start running in your pony boots!

Actually that last part is in there with the latest version of DD (or its in there in the test build anyway).

 

Oh did I mention fingering, but not in a sexual way...yeah figure that one out?

 

I'm gonna stop now before doc kicks me out off of the test team.

[jfraser]

Ooh, someone made a flipping people off idle? I want that!

[DocClox]

Well... the visuals aren't so important as the narrative. I mean there is certainly going to be eye-candy, but that's not where the real value lies.

 

So with that in mind, what can I offer as teasers?

 

- Well intentioned but misguided kindness.

 

- Cruel and callous abuse

 

- Dark and twisted romance

 

- The opportunity for our Heroine to dig her self in even deeper than she was before.

 

How does that sound?

Extremely vague

[BringtheNoise]

No not that kind of finger...

 

 

Oh doc your forgot there is some khajiit speak in the next version, it does depend on certain conditions... but it's in there....

"On this week's episode of "Guess That Update" we'll have our contestants guess what sort of thing "fingering" is.

Contestant one - What do you guess the update has?"

 

"Well, I'm going to go with fingering as in fingering a suspect, or fingering someone for a task... that kind of fingering."

BZZZT! I'm sorry, but I can't accept that answer. The response I was looking for was the protocol defined in RCF 742.

 

Our next question: what sort of webs will be featured in the forthcoming Arachnophobia update?

[Content Consumer]

Ooh, I'm going to have to go with... interwebs.

 

Hmm... I haven't actually looked at arachnophobia in quite some time. I didn't know it was still being updated... so can I change my vote to "walls of webs blocking various passages?"
