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.

Voice Actors
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.

ReplyDeleteHNGGGGGGGGGGGG
ReplyDeleteafter the prolog the quest markers are gone, and cant hide behind barrels <- does nothing
ReplyDeleteThat must be a problem/mod conflic on your side. I tested it right before releasing (and nothing changed in this part neither).
DeleteWhats the ID of chapter 1? maby i can forward it. Cant do showquesttargets because cant scroll up
DeleteLook for any scripts with zdi in them in the Data/Scripts folder and remove them, and try again
Deletefound no scripts with zdi in them
DeleteIt seesm that nothing happens when i drio the potion instead (ive tired sleeping before going to shydra)
ReplyDeleteAny suggestions?
It's not that hard, just behave like the Dragonborn on her adventures ;) No full spoilers just yet.
DeleteCould u say which is the moment to take the potion? I guess it has a bad end after wait a time, but maybe the moment is important, tried many things and nothing happens.
DeleteGreat job btw, best skyrim mod ever xD
Nope, the moment is not important, although after two days the effect wears off and nothing will happen then anymore. Its not one single location which triggers it, so its nothing complicated you have to search. But if you do search you might find it (or get found) faster ;)
DeleteOk found it, love that scene :P
Deletethere's the bandit end whats the other one and how do i get it?
DeleteYou don't have to drink it *instead*, and I actually don't recommend doing so because it'll fail the interrogation quest immediately. Instead, just use it on Shydra, and drink it later, after you're done with the interrogation quest. (Don't worry, the potion will stay in your inventory after the interrogation quest is finished.)
DeleteAlthough the ambush scene just hang up on me when the potion weared off and they were about to get rid of me. But then again, I could've just ran out of memory - the picture my task manager showed was typical for such cases: 93% RAM usage, and CPU load drops to zero. Will try again now.
> Don't worry, the potion will stay in your inventory after the interrogation quest is finished
DeleteWell that's actually a bug I guess, it should be removed if given to Shydra of course. Also I guess it doesn't really breaks anything and is even fine story wise to some degree (could have given only half of it). Still getting fixed for the next release :)
> Also I guess it doesn't really breaks anything and is even fine story wise to some degree (could have given only half of it).
DeleteYeah, it's MUCH better that way, if you ask me. And it's a shame you have no reason to return to the prison dungeon after the interrogation is finished. I mean, you could just overhear the two orcs shaming each other for being such pussies and not doing anything when you took their toy (Shydra) away from them, getting mad with themselves for that, and wishing you'd open the door again so they could show you who's the boss (because for me, the scene was simply screaming for that; I mean, it's a fucking orc, not a sheep, and no matter how much dragonborn you are, :p interrupting an orc in the middle of a brutal orgy will most likely cost you, or at the very least they would try to make you pay).
Or not the orcs, but just a couple random guards whispering to each other oh-what-would-they-do-to-that-sweet-little-ass-of-yours-that-wanders-here-back-and-forth-all-day-long things behind your back as you walk past them on your way home after a long, exhausting, but productive day of interrogation, deeply submerged in your thoughts about your next steps (or depending on how the interrogation went, feeling confused and angry with yourself because you were starting to feel something just when that guard for popped in and interrupted Shydra), and coming to your senses only to realise that you're on your knees in the barrack and their cocks are actually slapping your face and open mouth. I mean, since your mind is not affected, it could just register their words and make orders to your body without interrupting your train of thought.
Now, if you're still here, I'm not complaining about anything. I think you did an amazing job here, and so did the voice actors, especially Shydra, Tursam, that guy in Bright Path Inn (Wormos or something), and late Anray. Thanks you guys (and girls) for that, and for a perfect birthday present (yep, believe it or not, but 27th was my birthday).
> I'm not complaining about anything
DeleteWell, not that I've said it... :) Actually, the only thing I could complain about is the lack of the source code. Because sometimes I can't progress anywhere, sometimes the dialogues seem out of place, and having the sources could shed some light on whether it's my savegame is broken, or a mod conflict (as it was in my case with UFO breaking the prison door guard), or I'm actually supposed to do something in order to progress.
> (about after the end content)
DeleteYes it could be added and would be nice. There are several places where a bonus scene could be inserted too. It's just a question of time/work to do it. Might be added in a later update.
> About the source
I think I already mentioned this somehwere else, but the simple reason for not including them is that at this point (while I'm still working on the mod) I don't want someone else to mess with the story.
Instead of a bonus scene for chapter one, could Osst and Ackar just get released from prison and show up for chapter 2 or 3? Maybe as new recruits with the Slavers?
DeleteOne potential scene I was hoping for was Shydra forcing the PC to drink the potion, like the player having an option to hesitate, causing her to wake up.
Delete^ I like it. Also wish there was a way to have shydra take over pc but not fail the mission. All good though. Cant Complain.
DeleteAnd did I catch that Athstai said next update? Whens the release date!?!?!?!?!?!?
Yay, downloading... Day saved ;)
ReplyDeleteAmazing Work!
ReplyDeleteI second that!
DeleteI LOVE YOU.
ReplyDeleteIf I uninstall Dark Investigations, make a clean save then reinstall it I get to start the quest from the beginning again yes?
ReplyDeleteIt depends on the save game. If you use a save game where you already finished the mod, then no otherwise yes (but you don't need a reinstall for that :) ).
DeleteSo I'm encountering a problem, everytime I get to the fighting at the Bright Path inn in Chapter 1, I can't seem to trigger the next part like I seem to "kill" both Shydra and Tursam but nothing happens no matter how many times I do it. I'm just wondering how to fix that.
ReplyDeleteAs all scripting troubles, its most likely a mod conflict. Disable other mod / use a clean profile if you have a mod manager / make sure there are no scripts in the Script folder from other mods (esp if they befin with TIF).
DeleteAwesoooooooooooooooooom...
ReplyDeleteWooohooo
ReplyDeleteThank You So Much!!!!!!!! Needed this today.
ReplyDeleteI went to morbura. She was said to bring the mushrooms. By the way, does not pass to the next mission.
ReplyDeleteShe worked in mushroom valenwood. Where can I find my mushrooms?
Not in Valenwood, that's for sure ;) Or you you have to wait for the next (?) Elder Scrolls game. You need to investigate (or read the general comments thread, where this most likely has been explained by someone already)
Deletethere in nothing in the comments in English and if it is in English then they need to go back to school an learn to spell so i can read the comments!
Deleteso were am i meant to go? and why are there are no quest markers? and the journal does not update!
After you save the girl in the prologue, search that room for a note on a table. After you report to the housecarl and get Anry, or whatever his name is, head back to the farm and go inside. After the conversation, go to the cabbage patch outside.
DeleteThank you!
DeleteHi Athstai, i have a little problem, im using loverslab framework with the even actors height option, and nudes-favoredsoulmeshes , but it seems to be a problem cause in oral sex guys put the diks in girls eyes -.- i used the fnis last version but nothing helps, could u suggest something? also SoS doesnt go erected
ReplyDeleteYou are probably using a custom female skeleton, like xp32 (unp, etc) or anything based on those. They have different propotions than the vanilla skeleton and an animation can only be made for one. There is an compability option in the settings menu (spells->Dark Investigation Settings) which fixes this to some degree by resizing the actors to a different scale - its not perfect looks a bit better. SoS is not supported yet and again might mess with the alignment.
DeleteДоброго времен суток)
ReplyDeleteА вы можете сделать мод и на русском языке?)
0.26 есть на русском. Скоро будет 0.27
DeleteНу, удачи с обыгрыванием dragon semen/dragon scales.
DeleteHe ashtai nice mod. Still trying to get around what use there is for the potion. By the way are there any follow up when shydra "takes care" of you or does it end just there?
ReplyDeleteDue to it saying 2 bonus scenes, I'd assume. However, i have yet to find either. UGH!
DeleteOh wait. There's only 1 bonus scene for the new update. So no, I don't think theres a "take care" of you bonus.
Deleteomgomgomgomgomg excited
ReplyDeleteWhere is Morbura?
ReplyDeletehow can i see the "Shydra/Player" animations? i can only choose dog o guard animation..
ReplyDeletesorry for my poor english
After you leave her cell to find someway to "negotiate", talk with Anry, and ask for his help.
Deletehow did you find the dog animation cant find it i found the other 2 but cant find the last one
DeleteSame... been trying to find the bestiality scene but to no avail. Anyone got a clue? :/
Deletethank you,, the dog is located in the vanilla prison is called "guardian dog" its easy to find!
Deletegood luck!
Yea, I've seen the dog, but how do you get the bestiality scene going?
Deleteyeah im trying to get it going cant find how
DeleteOh, I found it.
DeleteSPOILER:
Choose the 'Negotiate' option, get the potion, give it to Shydra, and then get the dog to help you out by talking to it.
0.27 is a great update. I believe I've found both bad ends, and they're done very well.
ReplyDeleteHi, can you tell us how to get the 2nd bad end? I discovered the 1st one (SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER - Drink the potion after the end of the chapter, and see the bandit leader coming few hours later - SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER), but have no idea how to get the other one.
DeleteSPOILER
DeleteChoose to negotiate with Shydra, get her the potion, opt for Anray's assistance, grab some stuff from the trunk, pay her a visit.
Thanks a lot!
DeleteWhen i drink the potion must i go on the roads and search or just wait in whiterun ? ;p
DeleteJust play like normal. At one moment (it happened after 3 or 4 hours in game time for me, so, quite fastly), you will see a Bandit leader and his pal to come to you, and talkto you. And then, after that, well....You will see!
Deleteweird i have been running around for about an hour (irl) still havent trigger .Can it trigger inside cities or near whiterun
DeleteCant trigger it either where did it trigger for you ?
Deleteafter some time searching for the bandit ending i found it at the stairs of bleak falls barrow, they was going up stairs as i was leaving.the dungeon
DeleteWow still cant havent trigger after i walked to whiterun from solitude
DeleteKeep in mind that the effect of the potions wears off after some time, so if you have waited long enough (or fast traveled for some days) your heroine has escaped the danger. You can see wether the potion effect is active in your magic effects menu.
DeleteIts still active(about 1day left) but i never saw the bandit leader could it be becose i have OBIS on ? or do you have place where it has more chance to trigger ? btw loved the others endings ;p
DeleteFinally got it love that ending ;p
DeleteI can't seem to get the bad end to fire the way I'm guessing it was intended. I get ported to what looks like Redoran's Retreat with the 2 bandits.. but when I zone in every other bandit in the place aggros and kills me before I can even react. Anyone else having this issue? For what it's worth I'm using OBIS as well.. though disabling OBIS doesn't seem to have any effect.
DeleteIf this always happens (sometimes such glitches might appear now and then, it's a skyrim bug imho), it's probably a mod conflict. Disable other mods.
Deletewhen i update fnis i get this error and the animations doesn't work.
ReplyDeleteERROR(2010): Bad option in Animation List. Line: 0 (..\..\meshes\actors\character\animations\dip\FNIS_dip_List.txt): bsa
Your FNIS version is probably (way) too old. Update it.
DeleteFNIS CreaturePack? Is that FNIS Zoo? Can't seem to find FNIS CreaturePack on the Nexus
ReplyDeletenvm I found it
DeleteHey guys how is the new update? Is it better than the previous one? I was just wondering if I should play it now or wait for next version.
ReplyDeletePlay it! The new content is great; one of them totally unexpected and amazing.
DeleteI thought I was gonna wait till the bug free version. Guess it cant be helped. I will download it now. Hoping for more dragonslut actions.
DeleteTwo bad ends? And it is possible in more detail as to receive them.
ReplyDeleteThat ending if the dragonborn drinks the potion... NICE!! xD
ReplyDeleteShame though it only happens once. It'd make more sense if the potion effect was removed afterwards, but it's not, so why can't it happen again?
Actually the effect should be removed and there is code in for that but I didn't test it that much (because its really only cosmetical and will vanish after 2 days anyway) - so it might be a minor bug.
DeleteAnd what has to it happens after to drink a potion?
DeleteI wish it was possible to end up stuck with them forever (the animations would just keep looping until you exited the game).
DeleteI do not speak English well.
ReplyDeleteI went to morbura, but then did not receive quest.
She seems to me to find a mushroom.
Player at the end of the conversation, "i am looking for it" to be repeated
My computer problem?
Nah, more like a being-a-lazy-cunt problem. Because searching for the word "mushroom" on this very page doesn't require mad skillz in English. Also, there're more detailed instructions in the old thread on LL: http://www.loverslab.com/topic/7420--/?p=871866
DeleteI can't seem to start chapter 1. Will it work on a savegame where the prologue is already done?
ReplyDeleteYes, just talk to Irelith. You might have to wait 1 day (ingame time).
DeleteThanks a lot for the fast reply, i'll try, though already did to no avail.
DeleteIs there any scene that comes up after you release Shydra like in the Tursam branch? Would be pretty cool if some other devious situations were to happen to our beloved Dragonborn, haha.
ReplyDeleteI like male vs female. But not a tursam. Next chapter we will seen parwar vs dovahkiin.
DeleteAn option to make the bad player ending (the bandits) a random encounter would be interesting, maybe stop people nagging for an update every day if there's still stuff going on. The bandits could shoot the player with an arrow tipped with the potion, and then "test" out it's effect. Wouldn't require any new dialogue, just the player get's shot and a message comes up saying the feeling is somewhat familiar or something. Could add it to the bug fix update you said you're planning.
ReplyDeletei like this idea thumbs up ;p
DeleteA replayable theater scene aswell.
DeleteThat's good idea :D
DeleteGiven the theme of the game, it'd probably make more sense if after the first encounter they just command you to always follow orders or something like that. Then a few mini encounters could happen repeatedly from then on -- generally random folks taking advantage of the poor dragonborne slut. Like getting pimped by a beggar for some coin, servicing the barracks, and entertaining random patrons when you're in the bar.
DeleteBrilliant idea!
DeleteNo need voice actor just more fast update~(I'm allmost forgot this mod) this is high quality quest mod without voice!
ReplyDeleteallways thanks
Вопрос есть ли бонус сцены с шиндрой просле её секса с собакой?
ReplyDeleteChapter 1's bonus scene is bad ending?
ReplyDeleteOne is Theater scene.
Seriously spoiled,
ReplyDeleteShydra drunken potion. But how to move and capture Dovahkiin?
Try to get Shydra to talk by using her own tools against her...
DeleteSorry for my bad English.
DeleteShydra not free. but How she does capture dovahkiin?
Great updata.I have much fun from it.And there is a question.How can I use the dog? Whenever I talk to it,it just woof.
ReplyDeleteHow many bonus scenes in chapter 1?
ReplyDeletein total? in the shydra part? 5 i guees :o
DeleteYou Read Completion Status. Officially 2 follow Up bonus scenes in chapter 1
DeleteSome story Spoiler.
ReplyDeleteIf shydra have a dog trainner skill.
She can command the dog and get RAID dovahkiin.
"Some story Spoiler.
DeleteIf shydra have a dog trainner skill.
She can command the dog and get RAID dovahkiin."
What it means?
Is there Dog+Dovahkin scenes in chapter1?
I have one little issue , it seems the animation in the latest update does not support unp body skeletone. For instance there is a huge gap between shydra and player in gag scene.Everything else is fine. Looking forward to voiced version.
ReplyDeleteLoved the latest update.
ReplyDeleteHope to see more.
Keep up the good work!
A mod that started out great and has gotten better and better. Wonder if for a potential extra bonus scene- SPOILER- If you drink the potion and then speak to Shydra before finding the bandit she could accidently work out what you did and take advantage of it...
ReplyDeleteThat's originally what I thought one of the bonus scenes was lol
Deleteim stuck i found dani or how ever her name is spelt she gave me the fertaliser i grown the shroom but the dark elf wont update to start next phase or do i have to wait a set days ingame or get to a certian level or something else to get the quest to progress ?
ReplyDeleteRead what she says.
Deleteshe doesnt say a thing for text or voice i have fuz roh dah installed but no text at all from them
DeleteThis is excellent work!
ReplyDeleteI eagerly await the next chapter, and hope that you plan on finishing the story at some point, years in the future.
Love your story mod, really nicely done.
ReplyDeleteIf you would like I can offer my services for voice over. My natural voice is deep, however I can alter it a bit if needed for multiple characters. Let me know if you would like help.
damn i'm already looking forward for the next update o.o
ReplyDeleteI drank the potion on my character, and saved so I could test the things the bandits say. Was dissappointed when all they said was "Look at these strange clothes she is wearing" when my character was nude. I quickly thought of my own dialog that could happen when the player is nude:
ReplyDeleteBandit Leader: "Hey there, it's dangerous to walk around nude in times like these, but luckily for you, we help people like you, for a fee of course"
Player: *Gives money*
Bandit Leader: "That's a good girl now, seems you know who's in charge"
Bandit thug: "Hey boss, don't you wonder where the money came from? I can only think of one place she could hide it..."
Bandit Leader: "Yes, you're right. better take her back to our base to see what else she's hiding. Come with us"
Player: *Obeys cause of potion* (Player moved to cave and event continues from there)
Just my thoughts, ultimately it's up to you, and I don't normally walk around nude anyways, but yeah, otherwise great mod, love it, can't wait for the next chapter!
Great mod ! But I just I remember thet in previous chapters we can see more poping messages during proces (of rape or sex ) and I realy liked how you describle Dragonborn's thoughts . But in last update there was almost zero of em ... You do a great work but I (and many others) will be extremely grateful if you do a lil update to add them to the last update(Shydra 2's branch and cave bonus scene) ...Anyway YOU ARE BEST MODER !!!
ReplyDeletewhere is mushroom code?
ReplyDeleteFinaly chater 1 finish...for two years.... god
ReplyDeleteYes, only two years for a fan mod being written and coded by one person. How terrible that you're getting this for free, while it's basically a job on top of whatever Athstai does for money.
DeleteDon't bitch about it taking so long until you make your own similar mod.
I love the mod, take as long as you need to make it great, Athstai.
It was so good, love the mod,
ReplyDeleteLast play through i found (what i will call an) easter egg, if you try to talk to shydra with shydra gag already on, she gives you a single different line.
I love the little details, awesome!
Thanks to keep doing the mod :)
ReplyDeleteIs there something bad can happen to Dragonslut after having box recorded slave training?
ReplyDeleteYes. After you release prisoner T, and report to Dark Elf in Dragons Reach, go ask a bartender if she has heard any rumors. She will give you some interesting info about a new entertainment venue in Riften.
DeleteIs it only info, or You can do something in riften?
DeleteThat is so great
ReplyDeleteHey, Asthai! I love your mod and have been following it for a while. I have a few bug reports. First has already been mentioned by someone, it is when -SPOILER- Shydra has the gag on the player and is going at her with the strap-on, for the first "step" in the animation, there is a huge gap. The second bug is after I use the fertilizer, the magic effect lingers on for forever (as far as I can tell [It would be OK if you can get more mushrooms and make more potions for unlimited fun]). There is another semi/not-really-a-bug but I hope you can do something about it. I use SexLab's nude suit for guys so I don't see any "action" (Didn't have that problem before because I was using a continually nude male model but I realized that it wasn't the best mod to have in a college setting). Oh, and speaking of action, the bandits' and player's moves were all out of synch for me.
ReplyDeleteFor additional content later, I fully back this person and their idea. "Wonder if for a potential extra bonus scene- SPOILER- If you drink the potion and then speak to Shydra before finding the bandit she could accidently work out what you did and take advantage of it..." and also think we should keep the potion after you use it on Shydra. Also, if after Shydra has her way with your character, you can do a follow up where she does come back and "take care" of you and, through a series of events, your character can either be broken and used by the slavers or eventually break free and take them down.
I can't wait for future content! Where are the adventures of the Dragonslut going to take her next?!
I also plan on submitting a voice to you soon so keep your eyes peeled!
yeah i would love if you let her go eitheir you find shydra being turn in to a bitch (only if you let the dog mount her) or if you imprison her in to a whore for the guards (if you let the guard have hes way) or even better if you let her go she decide to get revenge on you depending on what you did to her (she makes you a public use if you use the guard or a breeding pet if you sue the dog) but of course this as are ideas for the very far future and if you like them of course but it would be great if there is something more after the end of chapter 1.
Deleteone more thing have you consider a donation system like patreon to help you make the progress for this faster or other donation systems. i think you hve a big fnbase to help you and you still do it for free but you give the option to your fans to help you do this faster. the reason i ask this is because i ahve seen many other projects and yours is the only thats it is interesting and have a good story and sex. i want to see this finished someday thats why i suggest this idea.
ReplyDeleteWhile money might make me spend more time working on it, I doubt there are enough users willing to donate. I would probably end up with 5 bucks and in return everyone would think I'm only in for the riches, which isn't quite a good deal :)
Deletewell dude you will never know until you try and if you keep it free but give just the option wouldnt hurt. and who knows with this patreon thing you could even make the game bigger by adding extra crap with special tiers. just saying you have the option
DeleteI don't think it's unreasonable to offer an option to donate. You could simply leave folks the option to pay if they enjoyed the awesome thing you gave them for free, and make it clear that the compensation may or may not have any effect on future projects. Quid pro quo, Clarisse.
DeleteI have a question regarding the problem where shydra and tursam are kill able at the inn. So I know this is a mod conflict and all at how you explained it, but is it possible to bypass this problem without removing mods? Could you simply just put the esp at the bottom of the load order as an alternative? I also read that this could be a scripting problem as you said, but I don't know what exactly to remove from the scripts folder from how you explained it. Nonetheless, your mod is freakin amazing, and I hope you continue working on this mod :D
ReplyDelete> but is it possible to bypass this problem without removing mods?
DeleteShort Version: Probably not.
Long version: There are different kinds of scripting conflicts. One for example is if another mod hooks on the same event DI is waiting for (in this case for example being low on health for the actors) and changes the behaviour so that it doesn't fires up for Dark Investigation.
Another one is related to the problem that the Creation Kit has (/had) no unique name for script files of different mods, except if you explicit tell it to do so. I didn't know that when I started so some script names are non-unique and if another mod has the same script file names they will overwrite the DI script, which obviously messes several things up. The only way to avoid this is not having script files from other mods in your /script folder (esp those starting with "TIF"). At some point I may fix this in DI by renaming the old scripts but I don't know how much work this is yet.
In any case: The easiest clean solution is just using a clean /data/ directory, install DI, FNSI and the nude mods of your choice and play it. Once you are done you can put your old data directory back and no mods are lost. I think some mod managers allow you to do just this with much less work.
Oh alright I see my problem then. One thing that I would like to report while I was dealing with this problem last night is that it seems to be fixed if you put it at the end of your load order. This part in the quest will otherwise not work if you don't put it at the end of your load order. Anyway, thanks for the help in clearing up the matter! I'm starting a new character tonight, and I'm gonna remove some mods to see if that will fix the problem without moving it to the bottom of my load order.
DeleteWonderful work ! Already many hours to try all possibilities of this scene ^^
ReplyDeleteMany Thank's Athstai Da !
I'm having a trouble, when i use the potion nothing happens, the effect do not appear in the actives tree. Anyone can help?
ReplyDeleteHello Athstai, there are a lot of praise here, and with no doubt you truly earned it. I only have one question: when will we get another update? :P
ReplyDeleteThere will probably be a voice update in a few weeks, depending on when Aryes and Toastman have time for recording the lines. Maybe (but thats not sure) I'll add a small bonus scene in this update too.
DeleteAs for the next major content update. Who knows. There is A LOT work to do: Figuring out the story, branches and scenes for the next chapter, creating a huge new location, probably working on some new custom animations for its scene and then of course all the other scripting, writing and stuff.
As long as it takes, we can wait.... sort of. Best of luck, and thanks again!
DeleteJust a suggestion, I really like how you handled those blackmail and sleepy scenes, so if you could include something similar again in the next update that would be awesome. The decision of whether to include these contents, is of course, entirely up to you. Whatever you do, you know you'll always have our support~~
DeleteHey Athstai you are a story writer and PM.
DeleteDon't waste time for another professional work.
Are you man recruits? Someone can do Level Designer.
Wow. Huge Update. You can make a team. It will be more fastest update.
ReplyDeleteAwesome high quality update as usual, I only got a tiny bug where the note you need to get the mushroom scene didn't spawn at the inn, but no biggie.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering, do you happen to be Belgian? The blog url would make one suspect as such, though it might just be coincidence.
Cheers! Keep up the good work!
The url of blogsport changes to whatever country your IP address belongs to.
DeleteI had a feeling that might've been the case, oh well, good job nonetheless!
DeleteBy the way, is the post with the list of characters who need voice actors still up to date? I was considering to see if I might be able to help you out on any of those.
i'ma belgian too!
Deletehow to unlock the bestiality content?
ReplyDeleteGoing to shydra branch.
DeleteCan you tell me where? Put in spoiler thanks
DeleteSPOILER:
DeleteAfter you give Shydra the potion and you need to get help from Anray or the guard, leave the old prison, the option will be right in front of you in the regular prison.
Absolutely incredible work as always, I love this mod! I believe that I've gotten all of the endings, but does anyone know what or where the follow-up scene for the Shydra branch is? Is it the bandit thing since that technically takes place after a bad ending or is there something else following a good ending?
ReplyDeleteAs of now, there are no bonus scenes after the good ends.
Deleteis there a bonus scene after the bad end?
DeleteGreat mod. Thank you for all your work. You're the best.
ReplyDeleteGreat Mod, I would like to ask if there is scene after Tursam is beheaded?
ReplyDeleteAs of now, no. The only Tursam bonus scene is if you let him go.
DeleteBad ending with Shydra is the best!
ReplyDeleteYes. Hail sHYDRA!
DeleteIn the order book you find in the inn, it mentions a female that was captured and delivered near Solitude, will she be in any of the chapters? Also have you got any bonus scenes planned for the Shydra branch?
ReplyDeleteHi not sure if this is doable or already been mentioned but might be worth having sound effects during some of the scenes (moans, muffles etc.) just think it would add a bit more atmosphere and impact. Awesome mod though.
ReplyDeleteIs any information about small update?
ReplyDeleteNot at this time. I asked Aryes (which would be the most important voice for the new content) a few weeks ago and she said she was up to continueing the voice acting for shydra, but had to do other stuff and voice acting for other mods first, so it would take a while. Also taking a small break myself to work on other things at the moment.
DeleteStill there is a good chance it will be out - at some point :)
Aw fudge. I was hoping to play through this mod again when it was fully voiced. Plus, I'm curious to see where the story goes. Oh well, I guess it's gonna be later rather than sooner =( Great mod, though. Cheers.
DeleteThank you for your reply.
DeleteI'm i bit to addicted to this mod o.o been checking this blog atleast 4 times a week for update/comments. Your work is very good Athstai and i'd like to thank you for your dedication to this. Can't wait for part 3!
ReplyDeleteCan we expect an update before Christmas? That would indeed sweeten my Holidays a bit ;)
ReplyDeleteIt took him more then a year or so to make the first Chapter, and that was much smaller than the second chapter will be so there wont be new content until next year at best and he also said he's taking a break from modding and the voice actors arent cooperating so he cant work at it anyway
DeleteHey :)
ReplyDeleteFirst of, great mod you programmed there, I had a great time :D
Now after reading some of your posts, I have two questions:
Firstly, you mentioned in one of your posts that you need Shydras Voice Actor to continue developing Chapter 2, but as far as I know, there is only one Outcome in Chapter 2 that could lead to Shydra reappearing as herself again (the bad negotioating ending where she flees the prison and the quest fails). In every other case she's either dead (killed by Anray) or mentally broken, thus making a cameo quite unlikely... So it does not seem to be a great priority to hire Shydras Voice Actor again because she won't play a major role again.
Secondly, I read the Mod Description and it described Chapter 1 as a story with 4 branches. So far, I only discovered 3, including:
1. Tursam: "negotiating"
2. Shydra: aggressive, with the two Orcs
3. Shydra: negotating, giving her the potion.
So the logically fourth branch would be an aggressive Tursam path, especially since it's very frustrating having to fulfill Tursam commands, but I don't now how to "unlock" tis branch because no matter what I say, it always leads to negotiating with him. Can you help me with this? :)
Thanks for the great mod!
No, I would like to hear Shydra (so Aryes) in the just completed branch of the first chapter, Shydra will have no role in the second chapter. And as I wrote my last information was that she will do it once she has time for it. Also this isn't stopping me from working on chapter 2 as soon as I feel like starting it, it's just something I'd like to have finished before.
DeleteTursam's branch splits later, letting you follow his commands yourself or choose someone else to do it. But you always have to negotiate to finish the story with him. Also in case you didn't noticed yet, there are two semi-hidden bonus scenes/locations, one for the Tursam and one for the Shydra branch which are worth checking out.
All right, thank you for your reply :)
DeleteIt makes me a little sad to hear Tursam and Shydra won't be around for chapter 2; although, I'll miss Shydra a bit more: Team Shydra!
ReplyDeleteShydra worked for the slavers, so the best that u could hope for is that she might have an older sister in the slavers rank who might appear in the next chap to have revenge on the dragonborn.
DeleteSPOILER
ReplyDeleteAfter I talk to old alchemist lady in she tells me to find a crying mushroom in Valenwood (?) and no info on how to get there? Anyone willing to tell me where the mushroom is? I've searched every place that has "wood" in its name but no luck :( Any help would be appreciated.
SPOILER
DeleteU need to get kolgrims fertiliser from daniy that is after u save her in prologue. Meet her in Audmen farm or something ,forgot the name. Harvest it outside the farm to get mushroom
Oh I cheated and used console commands instead. Finally managed to complete Shydra's branch. It had like 5 endings but the mod itself was buggy as hell. (especially the parts where we can't control the PC) I like Shydra's new voice though. But I don't get it how some of the lines are voiced and some of them aren't. Like you could just send all the lines to actors/actresses and be done with it.
DeletePresumably when the voice acting was done some parts weren't written/earlier version and it will depend on when the voice actor is available to do more. The buggy bit I find strange, normally for me if something can go wrong in a mod it does but I have found this very stable barring a very occasional quirk.
DeleteThe bug problem might be on your side. I have like 320 mods with like 240 .esps, a slighty bloated game at 22MB on a toon who played through all the main vanilla questlines, all the DLC, Faalskaar, Wyrmstooth, and Moonpath, and I didn't have any trouble; however, I could've just gotten lucky, I dunno.
DeleteHi just replayed the Tursam chapter but chose to refuse/ resist etc. SOILER-... .... ... ... Just wondered if you could add an extra bit in with the collar/ a different path as Tursam works out he can make the Dragonborn do anything once he has the collar on her, suggests its her own fault for not co-operating
ReplyDeleteSPOILERS It seems a bit weird that a naked lady escapes the dungeon. Wouldn't it make more sense (story wise) that she steals all your gear and pretends to be the dragonborn to escape. Maybe leaves her tied up with the strap on in her butt to get the same humiliation vibe. just my 2 cents. Love your wwork.
ReplyDeleteWhy naked? All her stuff is in the chest you just opened before. And given she was interrupted by the (surprised) door guard she couldn't spend too much time to do anything before escaping.
DeleteHey Athstai,
ReplyDeleteI know its somewhere buried in this site, but I slightly remember a similar quest mod you created for oblivion? Do you still have that? Does it have a short description somewhere with an intro to the story, and what it needs? How much is that completed?
The story is about "rescueing" hostages, although don't expect too much from it - it wasn't nearly as extensive and fleshed out as Dark Investigations.
DeleteAs far as I remember you need LoversPK and the dialog plugin for the script extended. Here is a downloadlink.
Maybe u could remake it for skyrim or add its content for dark investigation cause most of us dont have oblivion.
Deletelet him just work on the normal dark investigations ....
DeleteHe is not working on the normal dark investigation right now and I just gave my suggestion , its not a demand.
DeleteAs Oblivion and Skyrim use different scripting languages, it would be no simple task to put Dark Lessons into Dark Investigations (plus it would make no sense story-wise). I have played Dark Lessons and it was quite entertaining, but not as good as Dark Investigations. When Asthai chooses to work on a mod again it would be a far better use of his time to continue Dark Investigation
DeleteLoving the mod so far, but i've run into a snag "Some minor spoilers follow"
ReplyDeleteI have been trying to get the optional beastiality scene to play out. I have given Shydra the potion and have interrogated her. When I go to the old dragonsreach dungeon i try ro activate the guard dog but he just sits there and barks. I've tried doing this before and after talking to Anray as well. Did I miss something to make the dog a talkable npc?
When your quest objective is "find something to make Shydra talk", you can "speak" to the dog. If that doesn't work, there is a bug/scripting conflict in your game.
DeleteThis is a great Mod.
ReplyDeleteI cant wait for the sequel!
Thanks =)
how can i trigger the Tursam/Danica scene?
ReplyDeleteThank you for working on this. Best quest mod for Skyrim IMHO
ReplyDeleteAny chance for the dark investigation to go outside of skyrim. I know the slavers base is located in labrythinian but it would be nice if it really was an ambush
ReplyDeleteand the dragonborn will later find out that the real slavers base is located in an exotic island outside skyrim.
Creating the slaver's base itself will already be quite some work, I don't really see the point in increasing that by creating a whole new area. It doesn't makes sense story wise neither I would say. So: unlikely.
DeleteIf creating a new area is difficult than maybe the slavers base could me moved to solestein(dragonborn dlc). Story wise its pointless but it kind of brings more excitement to the gameplay. I think this mod should go to the next level but no pressure thats just an opinion.
DeleteNext level ? ... we are alredy to the next level with this mod :)
DeleteI have a question, is it possible to create skyrim animation which use static element like walls, table, chair ..., i think in terms of animation this would be the next level !
Yes. Several modders have already done so, for example xaz in his animation pack iirc
DeleteSpoiler warning...
ReplyDeleteIt's this next bonus scene?
"Are you crazy? Why would I... what the... that potion... it couldn't have been..."
I want a see how to use this potion another way.
