Skyrim Chain Beasts  v0.10.2

 

NSFW, Creatures and Mounts, Metal Bondage, Nudity, Quests and Gameplay, Sex (does not contain sex with creatures).

 

SE version has moved to it's own page.  Material relevant for both version like documentation and sound files can still be found here.

 

Requirements & Installation

Spoiler

Requirements

  • SKYUI: For the MCM menu.
  • ZAZ animation pack; created with v7, v8(+) also works (www.loverslab.com/topic/17062-zaz-animation-pack-v70-2017-05-16/).
    • and its prerequisites.
  • SexLab
  • FNIS (www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/11811).  (Using Nemesis instead may work, never tried it.)
  • Some plugins have additional requirements, see plugins below.

Recommended

 

How to install (using a mod manager is recommended)

Latest version: v0.9.9.  A new game or clean save is needed if updating from before v0.9.3.

  • Download & install SkyrimChainBeastV098.7z then download and install SkyrimChainBeasts0.9.9Patch-LE.7z
  • Run FNIS for Users (may not be needed if v095 or newer was already installed).

 

Optional additions:

  • If you want to have synthesized voices:
    • From Voice files by AndrewLRG install the SCB set.   (Or my old version of these lines if you prefer those for some reason.)
    • Download both `SkyrimChainbBeasts_Voices091.7z' parts to the same folder and install the .001 part (that is enough to install all parts if your mod managers supports multi-part archives, else repack to a single file), as well as any updates to the voice files. These contain lines not covered by AndrewLRG's pack.
    • Newest lines have not yet been voiced.
  • If you want the player lines voiced through Dragonborn Voice Over (DBVO): the corresponding file (CIRI, FYE or file to help generate your own in XVASynth).
  • Prebuilt armors are based on some UUNP preset. Use included bodyslide files to build your own preference (UUNP or CBBE based).
    • Note that sliders will only affect the body, not the `beast' part of the `armor'.

 

Upgrading from an existing game from before v.0.9.3 is not supported; use a new game or make a clean save first:

  • Export your settings in the MCM (optional).
  • Shut down the mod from the MCM  (recommended; prevents losing confiscated gear).
  • Make a clean save. (Mandatory; will have issues without it)
  • Then install as indicated above.

 

Available Documentation

Spoiler
  • (files) The user guide with detailed descriptions of the mechanics, the MCM and the quests.
  • (files) Adventures of Bretny - The Klymer Tales; a Quest walk through as an Interactive Story/mini game. This branching story shows all ways of completing the Keeping up appearances (Destined to be a Soshal-Klymer) and follow up quest.
  • (thread) a walk trough as an illustrated story posted in the support thread and an update that covers some of the newer content.
  • (blog) Adventures of Brenty blog - Play through ; for now only Dream Quest.

 

Mod Content: What is it/how does it work.

Spoiler

Originally inspired  by an oblivion mod called chainbeasts this mod adds lots of different types of beasts made of metal and chains to Skyrim (and Solstheim) along with related mechanics and quests and sandbox game play.   These so called Chain Beasts try to capture their targets, stripping and restraining them rather than killing them.  Being captured can lead to a range of `punishments' ranging from being put on display for a while to ending up in the slave market.  These outcomes can be controlled with the extensive MCM menu as can general difficulty and fit with play style such as player as victim vs dominant, gender preferences and who is targeted.

 

Examples of free roaming; how and where to encounter Chain Beasts:

Spoiler
  • Try activating a Chain Beast Mine (floating glow ball on a chain) and see what happens.
  • Run into Traps (Traps must be enabled in the MCM under plugins).
  • Encounter wild chain beasts. (Wild chain beast must be enabled in the MCM under plugins).

    • Different beasts may occur at different locations.

    • They are added to leveled list for standard wild beast encounters.

  • Summon Mines and your own Chain Beasts.

    • Learn the spells in quests, find spell books, or use the MCM.

    • Check Debug menu for spells not (yet) obtainable through game play.

    • Capture your enemies or ride through Skyrim in style.

 

Main quest line and examples of other quests (requires at least base mod + integration plugin):

Spoiler
  • Introduction  Beasts of Chain - a Chain Beast Discovery Quest, find out about chain beasts.
  • First steps Beauty and the Chain Beast:  Stop a Deadric plot to take over Skyrim. Or perhaps it was just a nightmare.
  • Quest hub: `TJH' : So where did these things come from? Someone has a theory. Serves as starting point for the other main quests.
  • Side Quest: Ebony Mine:  Yet another Deadric Prince thinks it's cool to enter your dreams and tell you to do things. (Especially useful for Dominant player)
  • More mini and side quests.

 

Mechanics - Capture

Spoiler

Chain Beasts will attempt to wear out targets by using their stamina damaging attack. Their attacks will `capture' victims when their stamina is low (configurable in MCM).

A captured victim is stripped of her/his items (which are dropped in a locked container). Captureable victims (of correct gender and of a playable race) are also equipped with some non-removable (see escaping below) ZAP metal bondage items each time they are captured.

 

After fully disabling their victims (4 devices equipped) the chain beast will capture the victim and attach. Several outcomes are possible such as the victim being taken to a nearby ZAP furniture. After a while (1min by default) the victim is released and the beasts will leave her alone (for a while at least) unless she is freed.  Other possible outcomes include being send to jail if PC has an open bounty, to simple slavery or locked in a cage instead placed in ZAZ furniture.

 

Mechanics - Escape

Spoiler

Picking up a chain beat key will release you from your bindings (but it consumes the key and chain beasts will be hostile again).

Keys can be found on dead chain beasts and in stripped item boxes.  (You can unequip devices manually with the console command UnequipAll but this will not end the `escape quest'. If needed it is better to use the MCM option `give a key' in the Skip menu.)

Blacksmiths can be asked for help, they may help ... or not, depends on whether they like you or what you are wearing.

To release NPCs, first release yourself, find an additional key and then talk to the NPC. This is a good way to make friends.  Helping your friends can also have benefits.

For stripped but not restrained NPCs you can just tell them to go recover their gear.

 

Plugin structure:

Spoiler

The mod is split into parts. The master file just provides the resources without really impacting the game world. Plugins provide functionality:

  •  Integration plugin:  Adds ZAZ furniture to several place is Skyrim and `Mines' that can summon beasts when attacked/activated.  In general it requires explicit player action for beasts to appear. Exceptions:
Spoiler
  • Traps are currently set to enabled by default.  You can disable them in the MCM
  • Pinepeak Cavern has a new inhabitant with some tricks up his sleeve
  • You can enable random beast encounters in the MCM
  • DB (dragonborn) adds mines and a new type of beast to Solstheim and a quest. Also, with this installed you'll need to visit Solstheim to finish one of the main quests. (REQUIRES: dragonborn).
  • PAH: Allows NPCs captured by player summoned beasts to be enslaved (REQUIRES: Paradise Halls Enhanced).
  • DoM: Same except directly to DoM instead of via PAHE.
  • BAD: Marks Chain Beast as dwemer automaton, making them immune to certain magic effects (such as drain health).
  • WMP: Makes mobile prison weaker (multiple levels available).
  • FMEA: Tiny bridge to FMEA allowing use of Chain Beasts in one of its events (built in, no additional files needed).
  • SLUTS (resume) patch (REQUIRES: SLUTS (resume), two versions depending on whether installed version of sluts uses s_l_u_t_s.esp or sluts.esp, installer will auto select the right version).
  • MM: Mimic Mania - for any eligible container there is a chance it might in fact be a sleeping mimic.  You'll need to defeat it to gain access to its content.

 

 

Latest changes

Spoiler

v0.10.2

  • [Added] Convenience tweaks for adding to the captureable (non-playable) races (i.e. `custom race list'); 
    • Can also use the spell for this, so this is just for convenience.
    • Known non-playable races (for which it makes sense) are added to the captureable races (custom races list) automatically:
      • Astrid (she uses her own version of the nord race).
      • Known follower custom races if installed at starting new game/when updating to this version.
        • So far only : M'rissi (only one I found under the most popular followers on nexus that uses a custom race).
    • MCM options to add non-playable races to the captureable races (only appear if they are not already in the list).
      • Besides the auto added ones: Elders, Vampires.
    • If you'd like to have a custom, non-playable, race added mention: The exact name of the ESP/ESM and the form id of the race (you can find it eg in Xedit where you can also double check it's not playable (no flag `playable' under DATA>Flags (sorted)).
  • [Changed] Added a note in MCM tool tips that `mask fix' only applies to new masks.
  • [Added] Keywords for the summon mine / beast spells.
    • All mine creation spells have the keyword SCB_MagicMine. (Note: create `permanent mine' is instant, not a permanent effect.)
    • All summoning spells have the keyword SCB_MagicSummon, with specific keywords for beasts (k9), spiders, serpents and MPs (mobile prison-mammoth like) 
    • Also, spells that summon rusty/golden/silver beasts have the scb_rust/scb_gold/scb_silver keyword.
  • [Fixed] Physical damage by Mobile Prison reduced, like for other beasts.
    • Likely not noticed before because other bugs made them drain stamina like crazy (until that got fixed in the previous version) so would capture before anyone got banged up to badly...
  • [Added] Debug option to skip alignment to furniture for the PC
    • Angle/position may be off.  (Mainly meant as a possible work-around for VR users, but maybe it has other uses.)

 

Integration

  • [Added] LM Conversation options about the speed whip
    • If you have one he will hint at what it's good for (listen very carefully, he will say this only once). His final remark depends on whether you've completed aspect of V.
    • If you don't have one, you can ask about slow victims, leading the LM to mention the whip and Belethor will start selling them if he wasn't already (one time conversation).
  • [Added] If you walk around with SCB summons guards/targets may comment. 
    • With MCM option to disable this in the DEBUG menu.
    • Some comments you can further discuss with the guard (within 30 seconds and may need an active summon).

 

BAD(NoDB)

  • [Fixed] Forwarded Mobile Prison fixes.

v0.10.1

  • [Changed/Fixed] Optimized the Chain Beast bite stamina drain effect and fixed several bugs.
    • Allows list of conditions to be checked once instead of every second, giving a nearly 8x reduction. (All native code but still, with many beasts/victims around it could add up.)
    • Some effect conditions were incorrectly set leading to possible oddness (e.g. at a few levels the beasts would not have ANY drain, at high levels the drain would be astronomical (and way above `max drain' as all top 5 levels would be active at the same time - now it keeps increasing according to the added drain setting (till beast level 70 or max drain reached.)) - Might explain some earlier bug reports.
    • Lot of manual work in defining those, so hopefully I've done all of them correctly this time...
  • [Changed/Fixed] Cleaning, removing some not needed keywords.

 

BAD(noDB)

  • [Fixed] Recreated these plugins to bring them up to date.
    • Did not cover newer races/beasts. 
    • Broke recent fixes/settings (eg for the Mobile Prison Beast).

 

v0.10.0

  • [Changed] Stripping limited to `strippable actors' (non-commanded NPCs)
    • When stripping would happen now instead the beast will try to: banish Deadra(summons), turn undead and demoralize most creatures (cause fear).
  • [Changed] Optimized `stop combat with invalid actors' check 
    • Made it consider controlled actors (summons) and player team mates in its conditions
      • Should eliminate or at least significantly reduce `combat pauses' experienced with beasts fighting player teammates or summoned beasts fighting `non-targets' 
    • Converted checks from in-script to native to reduce script load a bit. (While it ran at most once in a few seconds, now it will only run if actually needed.)
      • Can take up to 3 seconds (down from 5-8) for a beast to realize it's attacking a now invalid target. 
  • [Added] Hits by pheremone beasts now cause arousal 
    • Not ordinary beasts that randomly use the pheromone outcome, only the `official' ones with visual effect (WaW quest and mine). 
    • Effect implemented but not added before.
  • [Fixed] Missing MCM text for new debug option.

 

Integration

  • [Change] QoL tweaks for the dominant dream quest 
    • renamed the game from `Wack a Mole' to `Dream Wacker' - that pun was staring me in the face, how did I miss it before.
    • Renamed Victims to Ami(Ali), Bell(Bob), Cya(Cid), Dru(Don) so easier to see which lane (A-D) a messages concerns.
    • Also added name in score notifaction so clear where score/penalty came from.
      • Known issue: When it gets hectic, the messages may start to trail. (Property of the debug messages that are used for this.) 
    • Increased restart delay after device so they have time to say their post-punishment line.
    • Added some description and objective + additional objectives that will show when you do something relevant.
    • Changed orientation of `mist flow' to hint at what it indicates.
    • Disabled the remaining NPCs in the test zone (that is next to the dream area) so they don't trigger some random events (like `entranced') during the dream.

 

  • [Fixed] Beitild not recognizing you've helped her in the MD aspect quest. 
  • [Fixed] (Arena) Missing conversation options when a champion returns 
    • Had to choose other option first for them to appear, now  they should be available from the start.
  • [Added] Allow access to the arena if you've `skipped' (why do I have to do all the work) the corresponding aspect quest.
    • Talk to the Lore Master about rumors. 
  • [Fixed] Option to skip perk checks in Dark Mine, Dark Mind quest implemented but not actually visible in the MCM.
    • Meant as work around for unsupported perk overhauls, but can be used irrespective of that so put it under the gameplay options.

Spoiler

Tips, Known Issues and Workarounds

Spoiler

General Tip: the MCM-status menu can often be used to resolve/work around issues encountered. In the MCM menu you can:

  • Choose who is targeted, tweak difficulty and other Gameplay aspects.
  • Control the mod; take different Debug actions, view and update the Status.
  • See how much of the mod content you have encountered under Achievements.
  • Skip ahead to where you ended up last time (eg new character or after update).

 

Pottential Issues:

  • NPCs generated from leveled lists may not play nicely when captured.  (No workaround yet.)
  • The caged scenario is a preview only and can break easily if used in unexpected ways. Workaround:
    • If stuck, kick the quest in the status menu or end it from the MCM Skip menu
  • Integration adds items around Skyrim - potentially conflicts with mods changing the same locations.
    • None known; Report any found so they can be addressed

 

Potential vanilla game issues that could affect this mod:

  • This mod can create hectic battles and NPCs tend to flip out in case of friendly fire, causing them to attack each other/you if that happens. Workaround:

    • Use the calm spell in the MCM>debug menu.  Only lasts a moment but, unlike vanilla calm spells, will make them forget about the friendly fire.

  • Sometimes pathing issues occur, especially with larger beast.  Workaround:

    • For Player use `struggling'; press motion keys to get temporary control. (Requires/consumes stamina, need to wait 5 seconds between struggles.)

    • NPCs: try bumping them if they get stuck/clearing the path if they cannot find their way.  They may teleport forward after a while if they can't progress (vanilla behavior).

    • If those fail, fast forward through the MCM>Status menu.

 

Temporary camera weirdness possible while struggling in certain devices. (Cosmetic only, no work around yet.)

    • Chaimhewast for (previous versions of the) SLUTS patch
    • Mytherious for (previous versions of the) SLUTS resume patch
  • and many others I've forgotten to mention...

 

Future plans

Spoiler

Don't expect rapid progress; depends on time and motivation.  I have very little of the former and the latter tends to come and go (especially seeing how frustrating it can be to build a decent story line within CK.) .
If you have ideas please feel free to post them. Many of the current features came from suggestions in the posts. If I like them I might try to implement them.

 

Voicing using XVASynth (since v0.5.0): Skyrim Chain Beasts now has synthesized voices..mp3

Well actually it's moved beyond a demo feature, almost all lines for which voice type models are available have been voiced, resulting in thousands of voiced lines. You will encounter only a very tiny fraction of these in any play through.

Nice job. I enjoyed the chainbeasts mod back on Oblivion and after testing this I can see it has the makings of a good mod or perhaps as HermausMoron suggests an outcome or something along those lines in another mod like DCL. The more Devious modders out there the better so keep up the good work.

Similar to the other posters, I just wanted to say I really like the idea of this. Especially the multi-stage capture mechanic that's based around stamina. When I play non-Skyrim adult video games, I often appreciate mechanics where the player's insufficient reflexes or foresight result in their capture, more so than typical ways Skyrim mods bind the player such as chosen/deliberate, dialogue/scenario-prompted, or triggered after defeat. It's also cool that this mod has fantasy feel, relating to the idea of a beast constructed from a living chain.

I agree, DD 4.0 added Heretic resources to the list of items you can use, but you could use HR alone if you want to script everything yourself. Those assets have actual body suit-like parts made out of chains, for a better final version I think.

 

I feel adding many chains to the model that aren't functional but merely cosmetic would camouflage the jankyness of the current frame. It would especially make sense if the mask, collar, and other pieces you might want to add in the future, were part of the visual model of the beast, such that it would make sense for the beast to have these items to give to the player, taken from the mass, rather than from a very skinny skeleton.

 

Not saying it would be easy, but from a bestiality perspective, if one of those cosmetic chains had a dildo on the end I can see an outcome where the player isn't stunned but raped first, then the item is put on during the animation or after. This would be harder I bet, because there probably isn't a bone in the skeleton that would work well for that, would probably work better if you could find a way to add enough mass to that region to add a strap-on made special for the model at time of sex, rather than move a dildo chain for just the animation, more animations to borrow from that way?, I know nothing about how hard that might be.

 

Hope you expand this to other monster models too, the ice snake monster thing from vanilla but a flying ball of chains for instance, or a spider made of chains, or... there's lots of possibilities here I feel.

 

I wonder if you could make a monster disappear during a certain attack, with the assumption that they attached themselves to the player as a full suit, wonder which monster would  be best for that, one of the ghosts but made of chains? Haunted theme? Would probably want to use some visual effects to make up the gap in animations though.

 

Edit: with the "monster becomes a full suit" idea, it would be cooler if you could make a new suit that looks like the monster, but with people wanting bodyslide that might be more trouble than you want. Might be easier to instead put several items on the player then kill the monster, creating a dead body "pile" of all other chains that didn't attach to the player instead.

Won't have the chance to try it for a while, but just dropping a line to call you an absolutely wonderful being, bringing this to Skyrim for us all.

Besides not having to deal with scripting DD 4.0 also has bodyslide support.

You may also want to look at I'll Take The Display Model for furniture placement and escape ideas.

Can You share in what other games did you find such mechanics?

i like this idea. i'd like it even more if you could just add them to the leveled lists of random creatures you can find around skyrim, and not just in one place where you have to activate them. :smile:

A idea would be to add a final level for some of the CBs like the dog one being locked to that frame so the player would be stuck running around on all 4s. lock each hoop around ankle wrist or neck and use the cat women animation  as a idea. Making some larger CBs with more they can attach then just attach the player to them. Sort of like how the Riding Styles mod works.

atetete: I just meant Japanese "hentai" games (mostly untranslated) like Fuuki Kenshi Asagi, Akakubi Arena, Princess Sacrifice, Lilitales, VH, and RyonaRPG. These games may have QTE events where you press timed arrow keys to avoid being grabbed, or stripping of clothing and sexual attacks mid-combat that lead to being incapacitated and raped for a random number of turns with per-turn lowering of HP or raising of an ecstasy gauge, or progressive bondage-equipping attacks that then require struggling with a 25-50% chance of escape per attempt, and so on. I won't say any more about this here since it's a whole subject of its own not directly relevant to chain beasts, but feel free to PM me.

Chain Beasts :open_mouth:

 

interesting and original, maybe if you have time or willingness to do for skeletons ?! nobody is interested in doing, maybe skeleton dogs and skeletons .  :blush:

maybe chains that are forced to crawl should not be lost if there is no furniture nearby? also npc do not want to stay in the furniture if a fight is going on ... it turns out an endless cycle ...

  Beginning to look better all the time, Thank you for the hard work.  I know I enjoyed the Oblivion Chain beast. I am looking forward to this as you improve it.

Nice proof of concept with an original and cool mechanic.

I'm with that, though I don't care if that mod is used to implement it. I'd love to see them show up in random dungeons.

Agreed, the main thing this mod seems to be missing now is some integration to skyrim - maybe it's possible to add them to random encounter lists?
