Summary:
This is a dark themed story driven quest mod for Skyrim. Like a real story, it is split into chapters which will be added one by one as the development moves on.
Warnings (read this before downloading):
Content Warning:
The story of this mod features dark adult themes like slavery, reluctance, blackmail, non-consentual sex, humilation and so on. Its not over the top (at least not yet) stuff, but if this direction is not your cup of tea, don't bother to download it.
Full Story Code Warnings:
Length Warning:
Every minute you play takes several hours to create in a story driven mod. Don't expect this to be another Dawnguard. Right now the very first chapter is finished. Its more like a preview (which also means - don't expect any orgies just yet)
Bug Warning:
There are probably quite a few bugs in the mod, which I hope to find and fix of course. However many bugs are just caused by Skyrim/The Creation Kit itself. When I tested the mod, sometimes some action in a scene just failed for no reason at all and it got stuck. Most times I could compelte the mod without any problems tho - however if you get stuck in a scene or dialog, just reloading and doing it again fixes it most of the times.
FAQ:
Will this mod be continued?
Possibly.
Requirements:
You need to have these mods installed:
- FNIS 4.0 or higher and the FNIS Creature Pack
- Nudes - FavoredSoulMeshes - ErectVersion
- A female nude body mod of your choice
- You need to TURN ON SUBTITLES in your settings
- You need to have a FEMALE PLAYER CHARACTER
Incompabilities:
Custom Skeletons are very likely not going to work / fit with the mods animation. For the XP32 Maximum Skeleton there is a compatibilty mode: Select the Dark Investigation Settings Spell in your Magic Menu and turn on this mode if you are using this skeleton. The vanilla will provide better results however.
- While I tried to avoid messing up any vanilla quests, due to bugs and pathing issues I can't promise that I succeeded in it. Therefore I do recommend to only keep this mod loaded while you play it - it won't do anything after you have the quest done anyway. No edits on your character or anything are done.
Conflicting / Incompatible mods:
- "See you Sleep" Mod
- Ultimate Follower Overhaul
Installation:
1. Download and install all required mods listed above
2. Download this mod and unzip it into your data directory
3. Run the GenerateFNISforUsers.exe which was provided with FNIS and is in your /data/tools directory
4. Play
Quest:
- The quest is started by the courier. Just go into any city after the mod is loaded.

I'm looking for volunteers to make this mod fully voiced. Please check out this post if you want to help.
Graphic Artists
You know your way arround creating or editing items / textures / effects in Skyrim and want to help out? There is always some item or outfit I need for this mod, so if you want to help me out go ahead and PM me. All I can offer is the timeless fame if a place in mod credits however
Animation Artists
I have to use existing animations for the sex scenes in the mod. While many of them are very well done, most are not perfect for the actual scenes I have in mind. For example, some are "one-piece" animations which don't allow me to set the proper timing, others don't quite fit the action (like looking to consentual when it is not in the scene) and several do not exist at all (groping, undressing, etc). On the off chance that someone with skill in this area comes along and wants to provide an animation tailored for this story, please contact me.

Thats it for now. More information and text to come. I appreciate any feedback, bugreports, comments - thats what will keep the mod growing
Asthai
BUT me taking breaks is not a bad thing for the mod in the end, as it keeps my interest in working on it alive. You may have noticed that several mods which have an uninterrupted, high activity tend to burn out at some point - which is not surprising as the authors (often) do have a life outside of Skyrim which catches up with them sooner or later. 
You don't need to justify yourself, it's a hobby as you say, no one has any right to demand progress from you.:)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for the bloody zombie apocalypse, and your mod of course :) Thanks for keep working! :)
ReplyDeleteThat cat must be related to my dog somehow:)
ReplyDeleteTake your time, bro!
ReplyDeleteWe will wait the time you will need. :)
SkatingJesus.
LOL! You got me good with that picture. Brought a smile to my face.
ReplyDeleteI do not deny that I come here every day and wait for progress in your quest. But I think (I hope) that all everyone realizes that you have a life outside of Skyrim.
ReplyDeleteVery foolish to demand something from you, it's not a job, right? Just a fad that is liked around and quickly get used to the good.
Good luck to you and do what you think is necessary.
(I hope that the "magic" Google translator is not very screwed up)
Please add "Another Sleep Mod" as an incompatible mod. It animates the player entering and exiting the bed and interferes with the Prologue scene where the player is in the bed at the Bright Path Inn.
ReplyDeleteAll I've said is "Mod's dead." and we have a nice little "progress" here lol. I knew this was the only way we could heard something from you. Look, I know it's just a hobby for you and we're not demanding anything, But if we don't see anything in months of course we'll think you might have quited. All we are asking is a sign that you're not dead. You can even say something like "I ain't done shit this month.". We're ok with that. At least we'd know that you're still in for it. Anyway it's good to know someone's finally voice acting Tursam.
ReplyDeleteStop saying 'we' when you mean 'I'.
Deletemake it sexlab compatible
ReplyDeleteHe has answered this before, he wants as few dependencies as possible so it will not require SexLab. However it is sexlab compatible, I run both with no issues at all.
Deleteyep, me too, everything's fine
Deletecan't wait to see the cat implemented in the mod
ReplyDeleteI Like your MOD,and I want to make one like this,but I do not know where can learn to use the CK, How to use the animations and many other CK use， to make i hope the MOD Scenes .Maybe your can give me some help.
ReplyDeleteIn here,I want see the Dragonborn sex.
I tentative plan a scenes,In Bright Inn,The Dragonbon beat Inn boss(I forgoe his name...),boss say,he can give the key to Dragonborn,do not kill him.make a Options Dragonborn kill the boss,or tell the boss to open th door,or Dragonborn take the key to open the door,when you Election last one,the boss will passed out Dragonborn and fuck her...but it you know,I do not know how to use the CK,and do not know to make the animations....I want to learn,3DMAX Tutorials it easy to find....but where can find the MOD Tutorials...
Language is not English, please forgive me
DeleteSomeone commented saying that Athstai has already stated he won't be using SexLab, is this true? Though it wouldn't be a 'dependency' as much as a huge aid and would add far more depth to the scenarios allowing for the story to branch out thanks to Sexlab plugins. I.e. procreation, ofcourse such plugins are useless without SexLab :/
ReplyDeleteHis reply to a post on June 9:
Delete"I try to avoid adding dependencies to other mods as much as possible, because it makes installing Dark Investigation more complicated for users. I also do not need any framework (script wise) for my mod - all current required mods (Sexis, ASX) are "only" there because of the animation files which I cannot just copy over without permission.
Loverslab would also require SkyUI and SKSE as additional requirements, which are not needed for Dark Investigations.
So the answer is: I would prefer not to use Sexlab and plan to remove the dependency at least for ASX when I find some time to create a replacement animation. Because several animators allow using their work in other mods (like Arrok) and some scenes in DI continue to have self-made animations I hope that in the end I will not have to rely on any framework mod."
I like SexLab, but this makes a lot of sense too. Just install DI and it'sready.
The newer animations used in SexLab are almost all from Arrak who has freely allowed their use in any mod.
ReplyDeleteAny of the animations that will help with this project are therefore available without having to include a requirement for that mod.
Having experimented with some of those mods and forcing sex with various characters in this mod often means breaking this mod's scripts and departing from the story in a breaking way.
I would say that if you are playing through this mod you do not want to have other mods deciding that because you are naked someone else should start having sex (with you or someone else).
The best thing to do would to be to disable those other mods so they don't interfere with the story in this mod.
Bottom line: SexLab is already going to cause future trouble because people will try this mod with some of those features enabled and inject sex acts into the story in a breaking way.
I think it would be a good idea to note in the Mod Requirements that other sex mods ought to be disabled whenever you are working on part of this story simply to prevent the injection of story breaking actions.
I want to make a slave of Dragonborn )
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't? ;)
DeleteIrileth, I guess^^
Deletesectretly she wants it to
Delete:D
Deleteehrr.. can someonw tell me how to get the extra scene mentioned , yknow, if you let tursam out of prison?
ReplyDeleteive done it but im not getting any extra scene. help?
You will have to look for it. Otherwise there is a spoiler here
DeleteThe link doesnt work. : (
Deletei really wna see that scene , i looked but couldnt find anything. please help!
there a rumors and think of a place where shady people are
DeleteSomething i always ask myself is will the Owner utilize all the other skills?
ReplyDeletewhat i mean is in the most mods there is none or very low realization that the character you play is a very Powerful (in terms of killing stuff). i mean you could totaly use her for your own needs but also let People disaper by her..
if no because to difficult or the story has a path that would not allow something like that i wont say anything but if there is the possiblity why dont do it.
ive tried the ratway and mant taverns........... still dont get the scene and you cannot grab the memory box either
ReplyDeleteWaiting patiently :D
ReplyDeleteBeen wondering if i can voice act on this lovely mod of yours. My email is jay_mvega@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteJust let me know if you have any lines that i can test out :)
Hey Jesus,
DeleteI am always eager to recruit new voice actors. Just take a look into the voice actor thread, pick yourself a role (Tursam is taken and not updated yet) and post or sent me a sample of your recording.
i cant wait for the next update great quest mod ^^
ReplyDeleteAgreed, I can't wait to see what happens with the bounty offered for the dragonborn
ReplyDeleteAny tiny little bit of news on progress?
ReplyDeletePlease?
I had already answered this in general recently:
Delete"Unfortunatly the progress is very slow at this point, as I am busy with other stuff (and voice actors seem to be lazy too ;) ). So no, at this time there will be no update. There WILL be a new version and a next chapter, but I can't say when."
Just stay tuned :)
Oh I will, that's sure. :D
ReplyDeleteJust getting a bit bored by many of the other Mods - there are so many Mods for frameworks or changes of game-mechanics, that you never could count them. And they usually get boring pretty fast (at least to me)
But how many good Adult Mods are there, that actually tell a story and are not just "talk NPC, f**k NPC"? Bet you could count those on one hand.
Thats why I played through DI about ten times - because there are so many details. And for the weekend I am planning another go - this time with a Character exactly as mentioned in the order book (Kajit female iirc). Am curious, if that will also trigger something... ;)
I think there are several reasons for this. The most important is probably that creating a story mod has a bad "invested time vs. playtime" ratio. It took about as much work to create these first two chapters as creating a well done framework mod, but while you (and the users) will use the framework all the time from then on, the story mod is over in two hours and there is little reason to replay it (for most people :) ). As a modders it seems to be more promising investing your time into something people will then use all the time, rather than a mod which is over in a flash untill the next update is done - which takes jsut as much time as writing a second framework mod.
DeleteAlso story mods cannot really be played by the author - after seeing each scene hundrets of times to get everything right when creating it, there is little point in playing the story yourself while you can use your framework in your own game just fine as it is generic.
Last but not least I do like to think that it is also a matter of skill, telling a interesting story and being able to matrialize it in the Creation kit - but that might jsut be my ego talking :P
I do agree tho, I prefer stories-driven mods much more than those focused on game-mechanics (which of course are still nice) - and well that's why I do work on this mod and actually enjoy creating it. Just not 24/7 :P
Great to hear this mod is still being worked on. :)
ReplyDeleteFunnily enough I'm also happy that you're not relying on the Sexlab Framework. Whilst there's no denying that it's awesome, and the extra scenes would be a good feature, I could never get them to line up as brilliantly as the scenes in this mod do. And as good as the framework is, they clearly look like 3rd party animations, whereas these look almost vanilla.
I was wondering if any one could point me in the direction of some guides on how to create the different parts of a story mod. I know how to create dialogue in the reation kit, how to create weapons and enchants, how to create buildings and interiors, and how to create quest, I just don't know how to implement the various animations into scenes. Like for example when in conversation you select the dialouge for some sex scene how to have that happen afterwards i can write the dialouge for it but don't know how to get the animation to play. If any body knows of any good guides that would be much appreciated. Great mod by the way can't wait for the next update.
ReplyDeleteWell, it's actually pretty straight forward. I assume you are already familiar with the Scenes tab in the CK. All you have to do is declare a Idle in the properties, and then at the point when you want to play the animation use YourActorRef.GetActorRef().PlayIdle(YourAnimation)
DeleteYou have to make sure that the Actor isn't doing anything else at this time (for example by assigning him a package which lets him do nothing) and you should probably use a time to wait for the animation to finish. And really that's that.
If you want to use your own or custom animations, you have to get familiar with FNIS, which isn't hard either and if you google it your will probably find lots of how-tos.
Thanks couldn't find the scripting i needed but im a noob so im not surprised i should be able to do what i wan't.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work on the mod to can't wait to see this thing continue.
