Workshop Progress: Summer Update

Well met Spectators! It's been a few months since our last update, but we've been hard at work behind the scenes hashing out KRCE 2.0; the version of KRCE that will contain content other than the original Kaidan 2 base script. As we move forward with new content and scripts, KRCE 1.0 will always remain available for those who prefer the original content over whatever the Workshop chooses to implement in the future. We hosted two community events last week to talk shop about what we've been up to, what content we're focused on currently, and listen to the first batch of new scripts we recorded with our VA Paul Warren back in June. As per our March Update, these are the scripts that we have begun implementing lines for:

The Intro Overhaul Pack -- What started as just a 1 for 1 integration of WarTortle's Immersive Kaidan Start has now expanded to include a few new conversations and immersive details to help smooth out the narrative mystery behind Kaidan's past, particularly for players who are new to TES lore. Paarthurnax Quest Expansion Compatibility -- Created by the amazing JaySerpa, PQE hooks wonderfully into Kaidan's existing narrative about redemption. We've managed to work into a few subtle nods to Kaidan's dark past for players who haven't completed his personal quest.

The Book Pack -- In addition to creating new lines for each book Kaidan receives, we have also implemented a system where the player can then ask him what he thought about said book. Some of these books also have conditional dialogue, depending if the player has or hasn't completed certain quests. There's also a new mini-quest built into this book system that will unlock... The [REDACTED] Pack -- a brand new way to engage with Kaidan. Trust us, you're going to love it.

We also (very giddily) revealed the name and nature of the [REDACTED] Pack as well -- it's called the Training Pack! Rather than 'hides and trinkets,' Kaidan can now train the player in five martial skills (or increase their Stamina limit) as thanks for gifting him books. This feature is unlocked via the Book Pack mini-quest, which entails giving Kaidan all four books in the Eslaf Erol series -- Beggar, Thief, Warrior, & King.

Initially, you'll hear two different lines fire off after selecting which skill you'd like to train in; one before a fade to black, then a second one after.

There are three 'tiers' of skill mastery that will determine the dialogue you will hear after the second line; Novice is for levels below 35, Intermediate is for levels 35 through 75, and Master is for level 75 and above. The tone Kaidan has for these three tiers shifts from that of mentorship over a novice/intermediately skilled mentee to that of an equally skilled contemporary. Additionally, all of the skills have multiple lines to keep the repetitiveness down -- we won't spoil them all for you, but you can get a taste of some of the lines in the included samples. There's a few great easter eggs in there if you pay attention!

Our Creation Kit & Assets Team have been having a field day adding in sound effects to these lines to really sell the training experience, while the Writing Team has turned their attention towards the second batch of scripts slated for inclusion in our first major update. We're still hammering out the line count for what will be included, but we're looking to have anywhere from 500 - 600 new lines; as soon as we have a firmer grasp on the length of the prioritized scripts, we'll let you all know.

As always, we thank you for your interest, your ideas, and your continued support!

Workshop Summer Update Event

Howdy Workshop Spectators! The Staff have been hard at work throughout June and July; we're very pleased to announce that we have completed processing and voting on the first batch of lines (approx. 250) we commissioned for our first major KRCE update! We're aiming for around 500 - 600 lines to be included in the first batch of new content. With that being said, we'll be hosting two events this week via our Discord stage -- one on Friday, July 11th at 6:00pm CST and one on Sunday, July 13th at 9:00am CST! If you're joining our server for the first time, please ensure that you are reading through the #rules channel and agreeing to them, or you will be automatically removed from the server in 10 minutes.

We'll be going over what content will be in our first major update, listening to some of the new lines, and revealing the first of the two [REDACTED] packs that we've been working on.

For those who can't make it, there will be an update posted here on Tumblr after the event, to go over what was covered.

We'll see y'all then!

Low-key hilarious how 95% of Dragonborn end up with a Hoard. Absolutely peak intersection of narrative and game design. You consume ONE dragon soul and next thing you know you’ve got 175 wheels of cheese. You learn like 3 whole words in Draconic and you’ve got poor Lydia pack-muling candelabras across the fjords. I personally mostly Hoarded precious metals and gems, but I’ve seen people who Hoarded books and pelts and, like…there is No mechanical reward for this. Players just love to Hoard shit in that game. Absolute Dragon behavior.

"I asked ChatGPT-" okay well I asked one of the skyrim innkeepers, and she told me to slay the dragon at Autumnwatch Tower and then she glitched through the floor and I had to reload a save

If the player does the Thieve Guild questline when you make Kaidan narrative-centric, will it affect the player's relationship at all? The Thieves Guild is probably one of my favorite factions for lots of different reasons and offers the player a lot of perks. I want to know if he'll stop interacting with us or if it'll halt any relationship progression. I always do the Thieves Guild every run. If I update the Kaidan mod, I'm scared my game will break because he'll suddenly dislike me if my character is already really far in the Thieves Guild when before the update he was okay with it.

As mentioned here, there hasn't been any decisions made on which quests will be off-limits for Kaidan or how we want to have it impact the player, but we can say that the Thieves Guild doesn't really have a quest-line that fits our criteria of 'too morally repugnant for Kaidan to be complicit.' Hope that eases your nerves!

"now we need a skyrim remaster" DO NOT LET THEM RELEASE SKYRIM AGAIN

bear in mind this streamer's graphics settings are not being kind at all to the hair textures outside but he does look a lot better in game compared to the artbook imo

a lot of the argonians actually DONT LOOK BAD and are quite similar to the models in eso

[farshores]
