Death Alternative, Defeat and Submit discussion

[Comfortblynumb2]

I've done some googling and never found an answer to these questions, so i'm making this thread to ask.

 

What is the best option?  

 

Defeat?

 

Submit?

 

or Defeat, with Death Alternative?

 

 

I'm asking, because i'm having some issues in regards to getting everything to work, and i have SL1.6 hotfix 2

 

I just got everything installed, and working good...and then my HDD failed, and i lost everything.  So back to square one, i again start installing.

 

Now, i've always used DA with Defeat, but it seems like there are some issues.  For instance, it works once, and then fails to start any time after that.

 

I get the knocked down animation fine, and then the enemies just sheathe and walk away.

 

Sometimes using the Surrender button works (Submit does not have this?  Or does it?)

 

But most of the time, it just results in sheathing the weapons.

 

Now, what are people doing when it comes to the Quest options in DA?  I heard set all Defeat to max, and turn the others off, but idk how to set the MCM menu

 

Also, randomly i'll get a CTD when entering the Bleedout state in DA.

 

Do I even need DA installed?  Won't Defeats knockdown work fine?

 

Any word on when Defeat will be updated?

 

Is Submit or Defeat the better option?

 

Also, kind of an odd one.  Necroanims, after using a spell on a dead person, after the animation, i'll fall into a bleedout state i can't recover from.

 

And, back to DA or Defeat (idk the cause) i'll get saved by someone after a scene, only to be in a "passed out" stance on the ground.  and unable to move, unless i can break it, by entering a door or some other thing to "snap out" of it, but this then only puts me on the other side, still stuck in the same position.

 

And lastly, in all of these instructions and install tutorials, it says to do a "clean install", does this still apply if i'm creating new characters for the purposes of testing these mods?

 

Thanks in advance, i know i asked a lot of questions here, but i'm really excited to see what you guys can say, that may point me in the right direction to fix these issues
