A Forsworn Story

[EnragedBard]

I... have a few things to say.  I don't know if this mod is still being developed, so I don't know if this will be seen by the original author (or whoever currently works on it).

 

First of all, I really like this mod.  I'm currently in a playthrough with mid-200's mods.  I like the story, I like the things this adds (teleportation, speed, healing that isn't trash).  I like that this explores subjects that are very deviant.  Even moreso than a lot of the stuff on this site (as is a common thread of your work), bravo.

 

I want to say this in the most positive way.  I feel like the writing needs an editor.  I know English is not your first language.  Also, there are a lot of broken things.  Places where quests don't work, don't advance.  Sometimes the dialogue will give me a paragraph and only a second to read it.  Sometimes it gives me a line with 30 seconds to read it.  All that being said, I worked really hard to wring all the juice out of the questline.  Using setstage, complete quest, resetai, etc like a madman.  It was downright tiring, but, dammit, I enjoyed it.  I haven't finished yet, but I think I'm close.

 

All that being said, would you like an editor?  I'm not a modder myself, but I have two novels under my belt and I think I could give it a good coat of paint.  I can't help with the hooks or the coding or whatever, but I can help with the English text.

 

If you want.  If not, no biggie.

The quest trigger for AFS2shamanceremony (after the scene with Ethrane, Catalia and two wolves) is broken. The quest can not start even trough console... what is wrong?

 

Again ?

what is the status of this quest ? (stage done, stage not done) ?

Is there any way to fix the chat between the other characters? Like the shaman initiation and in several other quests too. I saw the npcs gesticulate and their mouths are moving but no text and if i talk to them directly i can saw their actual speech for a millisec. I have the fuz ro dah mod requirement. Its working, but here it fails sometimes and its sad that these quests become broken and i miss the story as well, which is quite interesting so far.

 

I got some repeatable quest from armin, none one of them had a quest marker and without its help i couldnt even finish them without console.

 

suggestion: Idk if this mod has this or not, but a repeatable quests would be fun for the 3 female shaman branch. For example primal can have some animal quest with other npcs involved like intrudoce this to others or teach the lower rank shamans and such and some shrine defense for some action too. Hargraven some test of magic and power etc.

 

Btw, even with the frequent console command usage, this mod is awesome, i like the story so far, its really well written. I wish there would be more special sidequests for my primal shaman. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

the reps quests are not yet fixed. expect lot of bugs.

I don't know what you mean by fixing the pother characters ? I can't do nothing with fuz ro da mod.

 

Noted for the three shamans themed rep quests.

 

There is actually one primal shaan themed side quest (healing a snow troll). Anthoer is coming since I got an idea...

Hey, I'm having a small problem with this mod... I'm trying to do the "Princess of Wolves" quest, but when the forsworn huntress walks up to the titular princess of wolves, she just stands there and nothing happens

 

Is this a known bug? If so, what's the fix?

 

Look like a trigger problem, or a scene problem. Just go just near this huntress and see if it trigger somthing. or use T to force actors to reach their markers.

If you're volonteer to fix all the thousand lines of dialogue, yes. we could discuss about it.

If you would tell me how, I would definitely try to fix some of this. It's a minor hiccup sometimes, and others I feel like I'm having a stroke trying to read it. Don't know if I'd be able to fix ALL the dialogue, but I'd definitely get started on the main quest dialogue.

[Arcadia9]

So I just exchanged hostages, or at least I should have. They're both following me. They are just... following me. Everywhere. I dunno what's up with that.

No stage, no nothing, it's not even registered to start and it's blocking all other quests... so yes, it's dead end. And also is messing with Dibella Sisterhood by breaking the main quest. And I haven't changed anything in my load order for 1 and a half year.

[mircislav]

OK, just to easy my mind, I'll restart the AFS again right now (it will be fourth time) - can't be your fault (I hope...). Will know the situation for about 2-3 hour and I'll post the result... 

[mircislav]

Well, it was something on my side.... shaman ceremony started as usual (by talking to Badycia), so far so good - I'll continue with the quest to see how it will develop. Just have to figure out what (which mod) was blocking the quest. Thank you.

[mircislav]

And please, reduce the deer population, drastically, they are everywhere, more deer than peoples and they are blocking the paths...

 

Quest triggers are still problem in whole... A New Sybil for the Old Gods is a mess right now... is it possible to fix it? You can narrow it to two choices: primal and koldun rituals and maybe it will help if you make them separate quests...

But, I respect your efforts to this mod and it's your choice how you'll fix it (or not at all and drop the whole thing, god forbid...).

I will not bother you again and I hope you'll find a way to make this mod stable - again, this is one of the best story mods here.

All the best to you.

Run FNIS.

Like Naps-On-Dirt said, run FNIS(Fores New Idles). Don't know what we're talking about or how to do it? Google it. It's so obscenely popular that you'd need to be tying in ciphers to confuse any search engine outside of Communist China.

 

However, something else that might be the issue is if you have run FNIS and have this issue is that you have more than... I don't remember the exact number, something to the tune of 10k animations loaded into FNIS. That will break every animation and cause T-Posing. You might not think you have that many animations, but just look at the FNIS readout before you close it down. It adds up quickly, especially once you start getting into Deviant, Devious and creature animations.

 

I had 3 animation packs once break 7k. I quickly got rid of them. Those however, are exceptions. Most should only give you up to a hundred unless it's an animation pack with all kinds of compatibility patches or requirements.

The frozen npcs... they are supposed to be hanged.

Pathfinding... argg...

Ok to reduce the deep population.

 

I removed two ways to acces the hidden valley. The one in the sicambre outpost should be deleted.

where the sybil quest bugs, exactly ?

Edited November 10, 2021 by Delzaron

[Delzaron]

I found a bug in quest AFS3Begin which cause torubles in the story progression.

 

About Sybil for Old gods :

- Sisters of Dibella mod is necessary. Fjotra need to be an adult.

- I found a bug in Sigorn dialogue.

- Fjotra packages seems to conflict and overcome the AFS3Sybil OldGods quest ones... I set the quest priority to 80 to try to solve that.

 

the hanged people is linked to Padma animation... it need a FNIS run.

When the quest starts, player have two options: to talk to Phage or Kartimandua but also can talk to Thusnelda - she will give you the carnal ritual (which is more fun than chopping heads)... So if player want to chose Thusnelda ritual the quest get messed up - Thusnelda tell you to bring her sprigan sap but the quest stage indicate that you must kill the priestess. When you talk to Sigorn the quest indicate that you want to do the Phage ritual and nothing more. So only way to get the Thusnelda ritual is to use console to set stage before talking to Sigorn. But when the ritual start Sybil (and after that all others) is automatically transferred to Phage you get all messed up quest stage. It's not the deadly sin, but if you do not know the quest stages, quest can not progress. There are other things, but it's too much explaining and it will be like telling you what to do... at the end you are mod author and it's your will and decision what to change or not... As I wrote earlier, I won't be posting anything more here and will respect your decisions how you will develop the mod. I will have the only options at the end - to play it or not... and this mod is still among the best story mods for LE.

Maybe it could be simplier if I just suppress it...

If the farmer girl bugs, you can just kill her to debug the AFS2skirmish quest.

yes, the quest intend you to choose between chopping head and have sex with animals in a grove !

there is three dialogues scenes for Thusnelda package (dialogues between sex scenes. The scenario is most important thing in porn movie).

I'll need to retest this part (I found the Sigorn and Thusnelda bugs which don't correctly adress to the Primal ritual related stages).

Is there anything I can do on my end to get past this? I've tried just about everything I can think of aside from killing them with console commands and I'd really like to progress in the story.

Just setstage it. the packages have stages conditions.

I start as Fornsworn native, and I was thinking that I can start quest AFS asap  Looks like I was wrong

No, It doesn't integrate Alternative start. You can ask a forsworn for tips to start the AFS story. If not, just go in Old hroldan inn.

[LenaLachrymosa]

Thanks for replay. In your "signature" I saw others mods so I want to add Hagraven Ritual & Beastess Lore mod. I may start in Riverwood or so and then head to Falkret and do quest for Hagraven Ritual & Beastess Lore and then AFS :thinking: I want to play as evil Necromancer. With Untamed mod I want to rise an army of Draugr. Just need to find some immersive way to start my gameplay..... maybe Anise's Cabin as her mentee ? 

Anise have connections with Maven Black-Briar ( is mentioned in note that can be found in Anise's Cabin basement. In my opinion is immersive that Anise can have also connections with Hagravens. So she my or not intentionally "puch" my character into the quest Hagraven Ritual & Beastess Lore mod ?

I know Im crazy... but that how my Skyrim looks. Imagination make my gameplays always extreme interesting Make connection between Me and my character that Im playing in Skyrim  

 

Anyway, I wouldn't be playing Skyrim that much if it wasn't modding community
