So, to meet her in safety, I addd you to the spider faction... Alsso, if you chosee the Koldun path, you'll be friend to falmers, chaurrus, and falmers if they are friend with them. On the note of lore that's an issue. In the games lore the Reach Men do not like the Falmer at all and consider them a threat. They actually don't call them Falmer they call them "The fish people" and they're seen as monstrous threat to be exterminated. Having the forsworn ally with Falmer elves in any way breaks the cannon of the game and further based on what we can tell from really ancient times the reach men and the Falmer have been enemies even before they Falmer were mutated into monsters by the Dwemmer. Now hag ravens can get along with Charrus bugs like the Falmer do in theory since Charrus seem to be domesticable but all forsworn see Falmer as enemies of their people because the Falmer are hostile to EVERYONE that isn't a Falmer including the last surviving snow elf you meet in the Dawngaurd DLC which is what the Falmer used to be. The Falmer will kill ANYTHING that isn't a Falmer and you can't reason with them either. They have literally devolved as a species so much they no longer have black souls like humans, elves and the beast folk races their souls have literally degraded to be closer to animal souls than human or elf ones which is why they give common, lesser or petty souls. For context mammoths give grand souls as do other intelligent animals, humans elves and the beast races give black souls because they are sentient beings. Basically, trying to do diplomacy with or befriend Falmer is like a human trying to form diplomatic relations with a troop of hungry chimpanzees that see you as food. There is no world where forsworn and Falmer could ever get along or be allies even if the Forsworn wanted to which they don't.

So, to meet her in safety, I addd you to the spider faction... Alsso, if you chosee the Koldun path, you'll be friend to falmers, chaurrus, and falmers if they are friend with them. By the way I remembered a lore issue you had during part of the quests. During one of the trials, you are asked. "How many aspects are there of Hircine?" and in it you say the answer is 3. In most cases you would be right but for the reach folk it's actually 5 not 3 so I actually got that wrong selecting the. "There are many" Option even though I was right. In the Forsworn pantheon Hircine has 5 aspects 1. Alrabeg the hunter who wields the spear of bitter mercy. This is the most common representation of Hircine in Tamerial he's depicted as a hunter with a deer skull and spear most of the time, he captures prey for the hunting grounds of Hircine and picks who will be the hunter and who will be the prey. 2. Stohribeg The Man Beast king of the wolves. He comes to the mortal world to hunt alongside those blessed by hircine like werewolves and werebears and turn them into werebeasts. Stohribeg also tied to the solstice and is believed to be chasing the sun with the intent of eating it as well which is why the reachmen pray to the third aspect. 3. Hrokkibeg The Bear who restrains the manbeast Storibeg and keeps the days of summer and spring long by stopping him from eating the sun. He also kind of represents the calm after the hunt and the rest that follows but this is a very clip notes version. Then there's number four. 4. Uricanbeg The Great Stag who comes to the land of mortals to breed with the strong creatures and lure the weak ones back to hircine hunting rounds to be their prey. He also may transform a mortal woman into a deer to mate with if she pulls his fancy. Lastly 5. Gulibeg the Fox who tricks and tempts careless hunters into their dooms but the clever that impress him may be rewarded with great knowledge of his tricks. Gulibeg might actually also be the Reachmen conflating Lorkh with Hircine because Lorkh is actually represented by a fox in the traditional Nordic animism faith and there is a lot of evidence that there was cultural bleed between the reachmen and the Nords. Some theory's even say that the Bretons are descended from Nordic and elven interbreeding but there's also evidence that the Forsworn are actually descended from the Nedes. However, there could be truth to both because with how forsworn culture works with them being willing to adopt people into their clans like Borkal the beast who is an ork it's entirely possible that the forsworn are a result of interbreeding between human Nedes, Various elves but probably mostly Altmer or "High Elves" MABEY a little snow elf and some cross pollination mixed in with both Nord's and Orks due to living in close proximity to each other as tends to happen. In fact Bretons are sometimes referred to as "The mongrel race of Tamerial" because they have blood in them from multiple races and in some cases almost all of them. Bretons are basically half elves but the forsworn have been around so long that they likely have traces of blood in their gene pool from every sentient race in Tamerial when you factor in the entire Forsworn as a whole. Likely the Forsworn were Nedes (The first humans think cave men) that bred with the elves and became Bretons and then after the Nord's came to Tamerial from Atmora there was cultural bleed as well as a mixing of bloods. Forsworn and Nord relations historically also haven't been exclusively bad. There was a period where the reach was free and at peace with Skyrim, but it was short lived. Still, they also had common enemies such as the snow elves and it's likely they didn't just fight against each other but on some occasions may have fought on the same side in an "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" sort of situation. You see a lot of the interbreeding between early humans and elves that made the Bretons was actually rape and not consensual so the idea that the Forsworn and the Nords may have fought together against the Falmer or other elves in their early history isn't out of the question. During the Merethic era "Mer" meaning elf and "Ethic" as in ethnicity elves ruled with an iron fist and they enslaved every single human they could find in Tamerial which is part of why there is so much hatered between elves and humans like the Nords HATING the Altmer or "high elves". Heck the entire city of Windhelm was built by Snow elves enslaved by Ysgramor after the "Night of Tears" where the Snow Elves attacked the Nordic settlement of Sarthal and killed everyone in the city except Ysgramor and two of his sons. In fact, the genocide of the Nordic people in the city of Sarthal in The Night Of Tears is what motivated Ysgramor to return to Atmora to raise an army so that he could seek revenge against the snow elves. The night of tears is what made Ysgramor nearly drive the snow elf race to extinction until the Dwemmer took the Falmer (Snow Elves) in and is the entire reason that the kingdom of Skyrim exists as well as why Nords live there at all. If it hadn't been for the night of tears the snow elves would still be alive, Windhelm wouldn't exist and Ysgramor never would have become a Nordic folk hero. It's also important to note that by modern standards Ysgramor was a monster. After the construction of the city of Windhelm was finished he had all the slaves killed and this means everyone the old, the women the children, Ysgramors men literally drove axes into the skulls of babies of the snow elves, they killed every single one they could find. It's believed the slaves that built Windhelm were sacrificed to the dragons because during this time the Nord's were still practicing an Animist faith known as "The Dragon Cult" Basically they were worshiping the (at the time) 8 divines but they represented them with animals. Basically, they knew Akatosh existed, but they just thought Akatosh was a dragon (Specifically they though Alduin WAS Akatosh instead of Akatosh's son) and that's why he's depicted in the Imperial faith as "The dragon god of time" it also makes sense because we also know that Dragons were the first creatures that Akatosh created they are his first children essentially in the same way that in the Christian faith god first made angels and then made man. Also, if you are wondering why Alduin went from a trusted son of Akatosh to someone the Goddess Kyne gives you the power of the dragonborn to kill is because he like lucifer betrayed the purpose his father made him for. Alduin is called the world eater because it was his responsibility to "Eat the world" so that the next one could be born and the cycle of death and renewal can continue. Instead, Alduin chose to rule over Mundus as a god and betrayed the purpose Akatosh created him for. This is also probably why you can't consume Alduins soul at the end of the game. Daddy Akatosh called dibs on Alduins soul because he was being a very naughty boy it's also possible that Akatosh still has plans for Alduin as well and you were merely a part of his plan to return Alduin to his control of fold but that's purely speculation on my end. Akatosh seems to have dibs on the souls of all dragons and the dragonborn in the same way that being a werewolf pulls you closer to Hircine Like Kodlack White Mane mentions in the Companions quest line.

Ok so I've played more and I hit a few bugs 1. Marriage counseling between Vulkos and Phage got stuck. After Phage said that she would make peace with Vulkos but after the war they would go separate ways they both just stood there and the quest didn't update and unfortunately, I can't find the commands to complete that quest no matter how hard I look. I tried SQT command I tried Help AFS2, ASF3 and ASF5 commands still nothing. I need to know what the quest Id for marriage counseling is so I can do a get stage command to figure out what I need to setstage to in order to progress the quest. Also I'm skipping Revena must leave just because she makes me friends with all Falmer and I think Drauger 2 and I'm 100% sure its her I did not take Koldun I took Primal shaman I should not be allied with Falmer and definitely not Drauger and it always happens when I start "Revena must leave". Also was I supposed to get teleported from the cave to the Redoubt during A new Syble for the old gods?
Fergis4 Posted January 21 Posted January 21 (edited) Final update: I've had it, I'm done I'm never playing this mod ever again and bellow are the bullet points as to why. 1. Every single mission with the exception of the first 5 are so bugged you have to complete them with consol commands often times as many as 2-7 a quest because they break over and over at every stage. 2. All repeating quests are broken and completing them with consol breaks them completely. 3. The English translation for the words in this is literal gibberish you cannot even understand a fucking 3rd of the plot. 4. Quests don't update almost every single time. 5. NPCs often don't spawn when they are supposed to and I cannot find their id. 6. NPCs don't properly follow you. 7. Way points don't work or even show up. 8.The custom world spaces cause frequent crashes. 8. Animations rarely work properly or at all. 9. Entire sections of the main quest sometimes have to be skipped with consol commands. I missed 90% of the dialogue of one of the main quests because I had to use consol commands to set EVERY SINGLE STAGE OF THE QUEST MANUALLY!!! 10. NPC pathfinding is all messed up and they often run off for in game days at a time before coming back. 11. Texture glitches, invisible Bria heart torso's and some really, really bad clipping and layout with custom world spaces where things that shouldn't be are levitating or floating in midair like chairs tables and tents. 12. Side quests tied to the main quest can be completed at any time and this can break the main quest. 13. This mod plays with base game quests which can make them fucky wucky too. 14. Revena Must leave is so bugged that it makes you friends with every single spider, draguer, charus, and Falmer in Skyrim meaning half the games enemies don't even fight back when you hit them now. 15. Lore is completely wrong on so many levels. 16. Almost every character comes across as evil and unlikable and the forsworn seem even worse than the mythic freaking dawn were in this when they are basically in lore a True Neutral faction from the DND alignment scale perspective. This mod is basically nothing but you being a monster with a few things you can opt out of. A lot of the plot makes no sense honestly partially because the English is so bad and partially because the writing is just bad in places. 17. Spells are bugged too in some cases for example brain burst doesn't blow up the head there's just a red mark around their neck and a skull spawns. 18. The straw that broke the camels back was the fact that EVEN CONSOL COMANDS FUCKING BROKE. The mod is LITEREALLY UPLAYABLE. I mean it I can't play it now because the help commands no longer work so now I can't find the quest ID's needed to set the stage to progress the bugged quests and guess what the main quest is bugged so since I can't use consol commands anymore my very last saving grace that was making this mod playable is gone. I spent the past 8 hours today troubleshooting redownloading and almost fragged my save game trying to get the consol commands for AFS to work and they don't anymore the consol commands do not work I know I'm using the right ones because they were working fine literally yesterday! Further all other consol commands seem to be working fine only this mods aren't. I have lost at least 30 hours of play time loading old saves and at least another 7 hours spent online troubleshooting and looking for fixes trying to play this mod and like it but I can't it's impossible. This isn't a mod. It's broken tech heresy scap code dogshit worthless trash DO NOT INSTALL OR PLAY THIS. Across all the games I play that are modded I've probably played and have around 1000 mods installed. Out of any mod I've ever played for any game period NOT JUST SKYRIM ANY GAME EVER I award this the prize of the worst most awful useless buggy frustrating unplayable mod I've ever played! I will never play this again no matter how much you change it or download it. This is hands down the worst mod I've ever seen for any game in my entire lifetime. This is unplayable worthless trash code. AI could do better. -100 out of 10 take this piece of shit off the website for god's sake! EDIT: Further bugs forced me to disable the mod mid playthrough this completely broke XPMZ skeleton and Schlongs of Skyrim and from what I can tell I'm probably going to have to do a complete fresh reinstall. It took me 6 fucking days from literally morning till night to get Skyrim working and your garbage ruined it. Fuck you man just fuck you for making such a worthless piece of fucking trash ass dog shit. Do the whole world a favor and delete every mod you ever made and burn your computer in a crematorium and please never code or use computers again. I've looked through your other mods they all such and have game breaking bugs thanks for fucking up 8 days of my life asshole cause that's how long I delt with this shit mod after spending all day today and yesterday trying to save my game. Just fuck you man just fucking fuck you. Also, I don't ever want to hear shit from a French person ever again about American schools sucking because if this gets you a passing grade in English at your schools you're education system is just as fucked as ours and your diploma isn't good enough to wipe my ass.

LOL, as much as I don't want to act like a ungrateful people to something is free, I have to say your complaints are shared with me. I'm currently playing the author's mod Ravenous, the experience has been PAINFUL cuz the rampaging bugs, some of them were reported many months ago, but haven't gotten a fix, for example there is a split furniture bug that leads to an unavoidable CTD, which the issue I later found out can be really sovled easily (after 2 days of asking for help). I've noticed many people also have suffered from this bug, posts had been made, but simply got ignored. I really doubt what is left of this mod will not be smoother. I have no complaints about the grammar though cuz I myself is not a native speaker Edited January 26 by zhuguannan 1
L1mbo Posted January 31 Posted January 31 I'm stuck at the Staff and Trees quest. The first defence quest works fine. I have a problem with restoring the sacred sites. The first one (Hanging Tree) tells me to "Talk to the Dark Youth", but it's not there, nothing spawns or approaches. If I skip this part with console, the same happens at the second one (Lore Grove). The quest tells me to talk to Katalia, but she's not there, she is in the home cave, not leaving. I can talk to her there, but the quest doesn't move forward.

I finish ravenous update, and I'll go to AFS. for now, it's complicated to play skyrim, because I'm not at home. Will be better next week.

I see 4 files and they are an armor patch file, a patch for Rustic Forsworn (whatever that is), UNP armor meshes, or a text file.
