Version 105 Notes - Released 10-27-13
NEW FEATURES
No more radiant quests! - All formerly "radiant story" generated quests for Helgen's guards are now all overhauled and have custom dungeons. (see below) This means NO MORE unfilled aliases for the bosses! The new locations include:
Staadomaar Ruin & Temple - MASSIVE Nord ruin and new worldspace by Wererta. It is in my opinion one of the most unique feeling ruins in the game, and you don't want to miss it! Yes, it's THAT good!
Upper Embershard "Haunted" Mine - Medium sized mine with scripted "ghostly" encounters and really powerful boss. I'm really happy with how this level turned out and it was truly a team effort between myself with the basic level design and simple scripting, Yogo with his complex scripting and Wererta putting the finishing touches of clutter. Also, Piper did an incredible job with the voice for Hanna.
Pinewatch Mine - New mine by Wererta inhabited by bandits near Pinewatch who are making weapons and gathering their forces to attack Helgen.
Brittleshin Cavern - New custom level by Ionis the Bear added to Brittleshin Pass filled with Necromancers and Warlocks. The entire vanilla Brittleshin Pass level has been repopulated and is a lot more fun and challenging.
Shriekwind Sanctum - Small and interesting vampire lair by Ionis the Bear added to the vanilla Shriekwind Bastion level. Like Brittleshin Pass, Shriekwind Bastion has been repopulated and plays like a different level than before.
Skybound Crypt - Small nord ruin by Mike Hancho filled with bandits. The entire Skybound Watch exterior and interior has been filled with bandits preparing to attack Helgen. Fight your way through them to their leader and end the threat to Helgen once and for all.
More dialog - New misc dialog for nearly all of my actors! Now they shouldn't be silent if you try to talk to them. They won't really have conversations with you, but at least they're not mute, lol.
Cienna marriage option - Added the option to marry Cienna after you meet certain conditions. The main quest City on a Hill must be completed and Cienna must be tending her shop - NOT following you. The dialog to start the courting will NOT be valid unless she is in her shop! Cienna also must have followed you at least one time, and you must be wearing an Amulet of Mara. Once those conditions are met, you should have valid dialog to tell her you wanted to talk to her. If you're updating from an earlier version and she already spoke to you about being available to travel with you you'll have to go through that again because out of necessity I had to restart her quest. Just follow it like it was the first time you talked to her after the mission for Korst.
Joto gets a dog! - If you're clearing the new Brittleshin Cavern level with Joto for his evaluation, a stray dog will come from his hiding place and greet Joto and become his new friend. If you already evaluated Joto with one of the former radiant quests, you'll find the dog in the cavern if you go there by yourself.
Recruit-able guards - All Independent guards are now permanent recruit-able teammates when you want them to travel with you. After you finish all of the evaluation quests, just tell them you want them to come with you and they become teammates until you dismiss them! They also have options to access their inventory items so you can change their weapons and armor.
Haming gets a home! - Move Froki and Haming into the empty house on the hill if you wish to.
New voice actors! - New voice actors for Balfring, Joto and Altan. Unfortunately, Mike Quinlan was not available to voice more lines for Joto's dog quest, but I found Joe MacKenzie who did an amazing job on the part! He also recorded the new lines for Altan, and Daniel Hodge (the awesome voice for Wiglaf) re-voiced Balfring for me.
