Asking nicely for the Imperial documents.

Of course, he said no.

Must suck to be an Imperial courier when all of Faida's customers are followers.

Yes it is Honeypopcorn yeah when I first seen it I was taken back a bit.... However surprised more stuff like this was not in game as there is many references to torture in the vanilla game.

I use HSO but I never do Helgen so I've never seen that.

I do not as well but was driven in there due to a snow storm so it was a surprise to see it.

[Grey Cloud]

I got a job to kill some bandits which I somehow took to be at the Abandon Cottage thing near the Western Watchtower. I'm in Whiterun, so why not? I get to the cottage and nothing. Check the journal and it's actually up near Roriksted that I need to be. Hmmn. This means either going the long route along the roads or cutting across the plain, both of which are dangerous - very dangerous for my solo level 8 PC.

 

I decide to make run across the plain and have a quick look around. I can see a CW battle; giant and mammoths vs giant spider and humanoids (possibly bandits); stormies fighting something and magic flying about in the distance. Gulp.

 

I manage to thread my way through all this and a couple of more as far as Greenspring Hollow. I stop for another look around and AARGH. I turn to find a fucking sabrecat in mid-air about 6 inches from my face. Scared the fucking shit out of me. First hit and I've got Witbane, third hit and I'm dead and asking myself why I didn't bring any backup from the umpteen followers who are in Whiterun.

 

Change of underwear while the game auto-reloads (luckily I've been hitting quicksave like it was going out of fashion). This time I avoid Greenspring and clamber across the rocky massif in the middle of the plain. From there I can see lots of fighting going on including those black, smokey skeletons who live near one of the altars. They are non-hostile so I cautiously head that way. Whatever they were fighting is dead and there are a couple of skellies still standing. About this time I recall that there is a follower at Gjukar's Monument so I decide to try for there.

 

Through the skellies and I run into a bunch of bandits including a level 40 bastard who has appeared in my last several games. I run back towards the skellies with him hot on my tail. The skellies step in and he goes through them like a hot knife through butter. Oo ek.

 

I spot a mammoth and head for it. I position the mammoth between me and the bandit and they set to. The smart money is on the bandit so I start pumping Healing Hands into it (money well spent there). Bingo! Bandit dies. No sign of the other bandits so I head for Gjulkar's again. And there she is, strolling around as calm as you like. "Come here, me proud beauty".

 

 

 

 

 

I wonder how someone wearing so much can still manage to have their thre'penny bits exposed. I decide to worry about that later.

We set off and a different problem immediately appears.

 

 

 

 

The concept of social distancing is completely alien to her. That is the distance she followers. I've never seen a follower who keeps that close. I decide to worry about that once we get back to somewhere civilised.

 

We deal with a wolf and a werewolf, well it was a wolf and 2 werewolves but the level 8 werewolf kept killing me. On the 3rd or 4th reload the level 8 one didn't appear so we managed to survive.

 

Killed the bandits with only one reload due to me dying. By this time my nerves were shattered so we fast travelled back to sign off the bandit gig.

 

We are now back in Whiterun waiting for the bus to Solitude. Going to get the bard for Animal Mansion Plus. Hmmn? There again I need to get to Riften so a better idea might be - bus to Riften then bus from there to Solitude and fast travel to Animal Mansion or do some serious follower hiring in Solitude or Riften, Solitude and Dragon Bridge ? ?).

... still trying to create a spot, for the PC to sit down on something.

 

It's working for my NPCs, but I can't get it to work for the PC

Does the PC auto relax in general? I know there is a mod for it so I would suspect that auto relaxing isn't something the PC does by default. I can't recall any of mine doing it.

Or do you mean if you click on the seat, for example, the PC doesn't sit?

This ☝️

Primarily, I want to create a spot for the player to sit down in a bath. But once I have the idea, I could imagine a few more places to sit down and watch "things".

Similar to the randomly chosen barrel or logs in my example picturs with NPCs. ?

(Without soap and water for your regular PC. ? )

 

Would that be an idle animation issue rather than an issue with the furniture?

[worik]

1 hour ago, Grey Cloud said:

No. The idle is no problem. It's just as plain and simple as:

 

Chair -> activate -> sit ✅

not-chair-but-just-a-planned-sitting-spot -> no in-game feedback to activate anything -> standing  ❌

 

And it's just a problem for the PC. The NPCs have no issues to sit whereever I place the markers.

 

Edit: and my last 3 hours of trial-and-error and searching here and nexus tell me that I am not alone. But until now, I only found workarounds.

The most elegant solution was to clone a chair and swap the underlying model with another object. The avaiable vanilla invisible chairs seem to be a dead-end for eveybody and a waste of time.

 

EditEdit: Partially solved ✅

As a bonus quirk, clock Sapphire at the rear right. ?

Meanwhile down at the track it is turning into a two-horse race (courtesy of @GenioMaestro's nifty little mod).

You can lead a horse to water . . .

 . . . even if you have to drag 'em by the schlong.

Yeah, that hilt might sting. At least, you've got some nice company. Can't go wrong with Leijona.

I have nightmares about leaping into combat, reaching for my sword and coming away with my left gauntlet. ? Perhaps I should put some serious enchants on it just to be on the safe side. ?

 

Leijona would be great if she stood a bit further away. The one in the thieves gear is Marcia who I've used before and sitting on the stool is Zsa Zsa who point-blank refuses to offer a 'follow me' dialogue option. Had to leave her until I find out the problem. Meanwhile I picked up Daenerys from the temple. I've used her before but here eyes keep disappearing and reappearing.

Finally after a lot of effort, I managed to complete the mission "Help the people of Falkreath (3/3)"

Just Destroyed Solitude and since I am A Thane in this retched city, I figured I would go offer my assistance to the Jarl , You know... try to keep my self in her good graces, it's a war after all . Wow! I didn't expect this! As I ran up to her, sexlab engine kicks in and she fucks me right there on the cobblestones! Ha!  I didn't initiate this but im guessing her arousal level was way up their    It's been a while since I've posted anything and I cant remember how to hide my pics (can someone remind me please TY)

I finally finished decorating the new shop for the new Lore-Monger for Devious Lore. I can now say with confidence that the time spent filling up shelves with books and clutter is the main reason Bethesda take so long to make their games.
