Q:  Will there be an option to play as a male character, and possibly use a female follower as a surrogate for the sex / corruption stuff?

This would be interesting, I second this!

Is there a chance that this can be implemented?

hardly. the mod is female focused from the start, specially all the sex scenes.

For the story, it's not a problem, but the sex scenes, it is.

 

For example, just take dawstar quest. If payer is male, that's mean I need to replace Norren by a female.

Ok, there is Ulwa...

 

Same for Xander, the rieklings (and there is the Nuai/follower option !)..

 

If the player don't want to perform any sex scene, the mod is playable for male, the investigator path.

The priestess one require the third oath (ritual sex with lurker), and the herma mora priestess armor.

 

 

So, I'll focus the dev on female game play. But please make your remarks about how to allow male gamelplay, specially for scenes.

I hope to finish chapter 1 this week end, only a quest remaining, where player will gather with the investigator team (Fulvius, Kjegrim, Nuai) will share the informations.

So, mostly a scenes quest.

 

I need to already think about chapter 2 and maybe 3...

 

This is a pot pourri of my ideas...

 

 

Chapter 2 need several quests :

- the intro quest, where player will be "welcomed" and settle in insmouth.

- the keep your cover quest, it will follow the trust var. Failling this quest will have HUGE consequences, including Susanna (aka your first ally in insmouth).

- the Arthrarak trail.

- the figurine trail.

- the Dagon trail.

- thalmor activites in Insmouth. That will lead to Mankara.

I need also to introduce the sanity system...

of course, if you didn't found the figurine or recover Rosalie notes, you'll pay it here...

 

 

Chapter 3 will be several quests story, linked together... and maybe each story will be linked to an investigator.

 

Of course, I need a quest to manage all the chapter. It need to monitor the Hints and the Lack of Time.

 

Player could perform several quests stories to find hints, but each quest will increase the Lack of Time.

They should be multichoices, so several endings, and direct the player to the investigator or cultist path.

- Fulvius -> The Silver Twilight Lodge.

- Kjegrim -> more investigation in dawnstar.

- Nuai -> more investigation in the rieklings cave, and maybe a Madness Mountain quest, to uncover some ancient secrets (fully translate the parchments).

- Hakkulru -> the dreams quest line. Necessary for the achieve the Priestess ending.

- Susanna -> Insmouth. Only of player managed to keep his cover.

- Mankara -> Insmouth. Only of player managed to keep his cover AND if you built a good relationship with her.

 

Mankara will not start as Priestess of Dagon, she'll start as a Thalmor agent. She will act as your second ally and/or your rival in Insmouth.

But she's highly seduced by the cult...

 

Norren and Ulwa are members in a small cult. They'll be simpler to infiltrate than the cult of Insmouth. You'll be able to perform the first and second oaths here, necessary for the dream quest line, where player will be able to perform the last oath.

 

 

for the lodge of silver twilight... it's a free mason like lodge. So, you need to be rich, and recommanded. Fulvius help is necessary to infiltrate them.

They are gathered acient knowledge for empowering themselves. That's include trying to invoke portals to the outer plans. One of the priestesses will be involved.

I wish this as initiation scene.

The Lodge will be in Solitude.

 

 

Chapter 4 : the end

 

Player will need to confront or ally with the cult... eliminate the other factions...

And there will be the ritual.

Two paths :

The investigator/Hero, who will face the cult.

The cultist/priestess, who will serve the cult.

 

Several ends, according to player choices and performances.

- You suceed to stop the cult before the ritual.

- You'll need to figh during the ritual to stop it.

- you come too late, the ritual will be achieved, Dagon is here... and you'll be the first sacrifice. You could escape, or not.

- as dumb cultist, you're only true purpose is to be a sacrifice.

- as cutlist/priestess, you'll join Mankara or replace her, and invoke Dagon.

 

Consequences of Skyrim :

Depends of the end you'll get. Lurkers and hybrids will haunt or not the coasts at night.

The slave auction start doesn't work with Simple Slavery ++, in fact, it doesn't show up as an auction outcome. I suggest you contact HexBolt to see if you can get them to add FTD to SS++

Hallo in v0.2 after you complete the first chapter is there a way to continue questing into insmouth? and if so how to start? or will be implemented on later versions?

Indeed, but only when I'll found time.

I have real life issues, like everyone else, you know.

[Delzaron]

I need help.

 

I advanced a little, and I most built the quest about merging the clues. The next one is meeting Fulvius at Solitude, and travel to Insmouth.

 

But I want to use the pictures I posted above... but how I could convert them into dds usable in skyrim ? last time I tired, it corrupted my esp...

Probably 2.6 for now. I can't imagine the remake is far enough into development to be the superior option yet.

You walk over there and the scene 'should' start. ...Maybe, I've heard reports of it refusing to trigger before seemingly at random.

I've seen people say the Package Patch fixed it...

Failing that, a quick kick with the console will absolutely fix it.

Aaaaah, it's been so, so long...

'setstage **03a5ab 120' in console

If you need help finding the two missing numbers, type 'help insmouth' into the console, find the quest (aFTD3insmouth), and copy its ID.

...That should be it? I dunno, I think that was wrong or something, maybe 110...?

[MuffinKirby]

How do I talk to the dockmaster or search his room? I found a draft talking about the girl, but that didnt complete the quest. I cant talk to him since its trespassing in the east empire warehouse. I tried spawning a copy of him to talk to but that didnt work. How do I talk to him??
