#modders that support hate list

Sure I'll toss my hat in the ring.

I'm kind of ambivalent about veilguard. It's my very first DA game I've ever played, I saw the companions everywhere after it hit the stores and the world looked beautiful and rich. My friends all love DA and they all MET through the DA Fandom years ago, so I wanted to engage in this new thing my friends loved!

It's a gorgeous game. The towns feel alive, the companions are funny and heartfelt and so different from each other.

The game feels fucking empty.

I really don't like that half the quests are just conversations. Why is speaking with the first warden a whole quest? I said maybe 3 things, he gets his ass handed to him by someone else (Dorian was it? I don't remember his name) and then u go wow cool thank god I'm not in jail! He's an idiot! And thats... it lol.

I've had to learn about the world through my friends giving me context from previous games. Some of the codex entries are weird, I really hate how alienating it feels to be rook. I don't get to join bookclub, I have to install a mod to make additions to the grocery list, it feels so rare that you actually get to engage the companions at the lighthouse during "rest" time.

I've been playing an elf mage - a (very smart in my hc) veil jumper, yet I'm relegated to "guy who hits artifacts with a rock to make them stop" and Ballara is constantly explaining jumper stuff to me that I should already know.

The weird "project" thing u decorate ur room with. U use that to establish (imo) natural talent and how studious you are, but the game never does anything with that. Half the flirt options in dialogue are things I would say to anyone I consider a friend, or was giving heartfelt support to. None of it feels very flirty. I'm sad I can't request kisses from romanced companions like you can in baldurs gate 3, it feels like such a small mechanic but I never take it for granted. I loved kissing my romanced companion good morning and good night.

Most of the quests feel really short and unfulfilling. The fight style is fun but all I'm doing is short lived fights that make my attention wander. Most of the gear you just find, I find the shopping experiences at vendors boring, but I do like the decorations. I kind of wish we had more decorating space tbh!

I like the game for what it is, but I'm happy I got it on sale cause I would never pay full price for it. I haven't technically finished the game yet cause I keep restarting (lot of rook ideas) but if I had to play it without mods again I just wouldn't have fun. It just stinks that it feels like rook doesn't even have to be around to move the plot. Everyone else has connections and rook is just making decisions the others don't want to make. Like I genuinely don't think rooks presence should have done jack shit during the dragon attacks? I get the politics of what was going on in minrathus but if that was going to happen rook being there shouldn't change the tide at all.

I'm just one guy. I feel like Treviso should have been hit more even when I help them because again, I'm just one guy. They just don't really give any explanation on why rook is good for the job imo, yeah yeah "unpredictable and doesn't know when to quit!" That's fun but they don't really engage with that for rook? We all get good gear, we all level our abilities, i hold everyone hands while they go through their personal quests, but what makes rook actually able to do this? Just sheer determination?

Like why aren't I even involved in breaking the hold elgernan has during the venatori conference with the Dalish prisoners? I just feel like as rook i don't do fucking anything at all? Most conversation I'm involved in happens without player input. There's not a lot of actual choices in the game. It feels like they could have added 30 more quests at least.

Idk. Thank god for modders (not the ones whitewashing I hope you all die in incredible pain, everyone who downloaded them too.)

Game just feels kinda empty. I'm glad I didn't pay full price for it.

The Violence ASKS!

Please feel free to throw down your most vitriolic opinions regarding any of these questions you are so inclined to answer for us :>

I am sorry for my late reply, friend, but here's the hills I will ABSOLUTELY DIE on: 1. Wabbajack lists replacing written-out, detailed modlists are handy, but a net negative for the modding community. You don't learn anything, and when one mod ends up in ALL THE LISTS that you absolutely hate, it's a HUGE issue to get rid of it and the wabbajack authors will not help, especially newbies. There's just no modlists-as-beginner-tutorials left, they're all wabbajacks.

2. Related to above: BUT MODLIST DISCORD SERVERS INSTEAD OF SEARCHABLE FORUMS.

This is a general thing going on in tech support, private Discords that can't be indexed by search engines and can be deleted in an instant with no archiving are a pox on all aspects of programming/tech support but especially modding where there's a lot of people trying to figure things out. And then when new people come in asking the same questions over and over BECAUSE THEY CAN'T SEARCH DISCORD the veteran modders and authors get pissed at them and run them off. It's sad.

There you have it. My most vitriolic opinion ha ha ha

[mwolf0epsilon]

Just like how Keanu Reeves became a National Treasure™, Josh becomes a National Treasure™

Josh has a huge fan base that wholly adores him and maybe wants to marry him (At least in my fics he gets the respect he deserves).

"Leo, when I asked for you to keep an eye on what's going on in social media regarding public opinion on the pro-android campaigns, I didn't mean this..."

The brunet glared In mild annoyance as Markus walked into the kitchen holding his laptop. His annoyance escalated to mild irritation when he noticed his Accord profile was online.

He promptly got up from where he was seated with the others, dropping his cards on the table on top of everyone else's (which made a winning North throw up her arms in anger at her sudden loss), and walked over to his brother to snatch it away from his hands.

"Don't snoop through my shit, asshole!" Leo growled as he set the laptop down on the table. "I've been keeping up to date with shit too, so don't get your panties in a knot..."

"Playing Fuck, Marry, Kill with a bunch of strangers online isn't keeping up to date with public opinions..." Markus groaned.

"Shit, they started a round of FMK? Nice..." Leo snorted before shaking his head. "But in all seriousness, that Accord server there, is an exclusive team of elite that I assembled for that little favour you asked. They're pretty good at keeping me up to speed on things... Sometimes shit doesn't really happen all day tho, so we get bored and discuss the finer things."

"Like Fuck, Marry, Kill?" North rose an eyebrow in disbelief.

"Yep." Leo popped the 'P' at the end for emphasis before beginning to type into the chat. The four androids noticed his chat handle was 'KingOfTheUrbanJungle', an obvious play on his actual name. Charming. "Usually it's pretty chill, unless there's been anything dodgy going on online. We got an expert keeping up with the shadier sort, and another that's been keeping tabs on android supporters and community modders."

"Isn't modding illegal?" Simon asked.

"Only because Cyberlife's pitched the hissiest of fits over their merch being potentially stolen and copied, or worse, repaired at home. Cyberlife hates DIY engineers and mechanics that have an eye for robotics...That sort of crap. They're intimidated." Leo explained as he left an inquiry on who the FMK prompt was for. "That's not even accounting for people who can't fucking afford their ridiculous insurance policies. You know they tried to bill dad after the cops shot you down..."

"They did what?!" Markus looked horrified.

"Yep. Tried to bill a bed-bound elderly man who nearly died of a heart attack. Dad told me they only got their tiny dicks back in their pants after Elijah Fucking Kamski rained hell on their parade since technically he has full rights to your software and design..." Leo shrugged "Score one for androids being property I guess... But only this once."

"Those sons of bitches..." Markus muttered darkly before the laptop pinged.

"Oh! Ooh that's a hard one..." Leo mumbled as he read the prompt, sent by someone going by 'LatinaLatte'. What an odd chat handle. "Damn."

"Is it celebrities?" Simon asked.

"Nope. She's asking out of Markus, Josh and North, who we'd fuck, marry and kill." Leo admitted with a grin on his face.

Everyone stared at him.

He gulped.

"...Obviously I would not fuck Markus...?" He offered "But I'm uh, not inclined to kill anyone so uh...hard choice?"

They still stared.

And then the chat pinged.

Someone going by 'LamentingMercenary' immediately presented their thoughts.

"Fuck North, marry Josh, kill Markus." Leo wrinkled his nose "Of course he would, what an ass..."

"Wow this game sucks..." North glared daggers. She was not too inclined with being the subject of someone's fantasies.

Another ping, 'LatinaLatte' this time.

"Fuck Markus, marry Josh, kill North." Leo read.

Another ping from 'MercifulDisappointment'.

"Can you fuck and marry Josh and kill both North and Markus?"

Leo cackled when 'QueenBitch' replied to the last comment with a clearly disappointed "No" while everyone else started laughing in chat. Leo nearly forgot he had an audience.

"Ok so uh, there's like a lot of people saying fuck and marry Josh...consistently." Simon pointed out. "Not one person has said kill Josh."

"It's rigged I tell you..." North grumbled. Leo blinked at her in confusion and then shook his head.

"Nah not really... There's like, a fan page of you guys, with polls and shit...Josh is like, #1 in all of it."

The others, including a very uncomfortable and flustered Josh, all stared blankly at him.

"...What?" Markus asked.

"You really don't know? Markus I linked you the damn Facebook page..."

"Nobody uses Facebook anymore!" Markus protested.

"Well fuck Markus, they still do and holy crap it's insane... Here." He quickly closed his Accord tab and opened up the ancient website that should have been dead and buried by now thanks to a lot of law suits, but that came back crawling from the grave every two years. Surely enough there was a fan page dedicated to the Jericho leaders and Josh scored the highest in popularity, with Simon coming close second.

"What the shit?" North gawked.

"Yeah... Crazy right? Makes sense tho, Josh is like...The perfect poster child here." Leo shrugged.

"How exactly?" Josh looked very uncomfortable.

"...Dude...You're nice. And nonthreatening? You help old ladies across the street, you're very gentle with kids, you help with the community..." Leo listed off "You're not... I donno, overly perfect and unapproachable. You don't openly fight people. You don't yell, you don't hide away at the tower all day... People get like, super nervous around Markus and North, and they see very little of Simon so you're like... The only Jericho leader they ever actually seen being a part of society?"

There was a collective silence from the four androids. They were stunned really, after hearing all of this.

It was a little hard to process.

"You're all doing good out there, fighting the good fight and helping who needs it... But yeah honestly you three are a bit too scary. Josh is openly kind and outgoing and that gets people more at ease..."

"So basically... People prefer Josh because he's just... Being himself?" Simon blinked.

"... Yep."

"...."

"To be fair, it's easier to get behind the cause of someone who reads to kids in his free time."

"I...How did you know about that?!" Josh frowned. He hadn't told anyone what he did with his spare time.

"It's on YouTube. Some of the androids at the tower uploaded videos of you with the kids at New Jericho. It's super cute dude."

"Oh god...That's really creepy! And embarrassing!" Josh covered his face with his hands in mild distress.

"It also apparently made a chatroom with 11 people horny for you." North pointed out.

"North, not helping!"

"Then stop being so cute all the time!"

"He can't it's in his nature." Simon shook his head sadly.

"Simon don't encourage her!!!"

Leo smirked as he watched Markus sigh and try to help mediate the ensuing argument, before typing into the private Accord server chat.

"Can we all agree Josh is like, a national treasure, and that deep down we'd all marry him?"

The chatroom seemed to wholly agree with him on that one.

And then 'G69D' commented.

"So would you fuck or kill your brother? I know for a fact you'd not go near North even with a 20 foot pole."

Leo grimaced and closed his laptop.

Dark Souls 3 Ps4 Hack

Known as being one of the toughest games out there, it’s easy to be intimidated by the Dark Souls series.

I remember the first time I heard about Dark Souls. Those tales came with stories of controllers being thrown and destroyed, rage and salt compilations all over YouTube, and that mocking “You Died” death screen.

PS4 button prompt mod? (PC) Title, I want to play with ps4 buttons. A community dedicated to everything about Dark Souls 3. Created Jan 20, 2013. Dark Souls 3 Must-Have Mods? I recently upgraded from my PS4 to a PC. I've never owned one before, but so far the quality of gameplay is astounding. I repurchased DS3 in the hopes of getting some cool mods to try out. What are some necessary ones to download? Also, what are some mods that change the game completely into something unique? Dark Souls 3 Tweak is a tool for Dark Souls III, created by Kaldaien. Description: Dark Souls 3 Tweak it a tool that allows you to configure and optimize Dark Souls III’s graphics in far bigger way than what the regular game’s menu offers.

It took me a while to get into the series to be honest. But countless frustrating hours and deaths later, I finally did it. I defeated the Lords of Cinder and linked the first flame. No game had ever given me the same sense of accomplishment as Dark Souls III, and I still haven’t found a game to top that experience to this day.

And as the fandom continues to grow, there are a number of mods that enhance the experience even further. For both newcomers and veteran players alike, here are my picks for the absolute best mods you can add onto Dark Souls 3.

It’s also important to note that most of these mods can get you banned so it’s better to enjoy them offline.

That Dark Souls III patch we reported on a few days ago has been put through the ringer by Digital Foundry and the results aren't too surprising. The support for PS4 Pro has given the game better.

20. Comfort Mod

For those who are new to the game, it’s easy to get frustrated and turn back. Especially if this is your first Soulsborne experience.

The unforgiving nature of the game can easily be a turn-off to newcomers.

Modder ss7877 has provided a way to make your DS3 playthrough much more relaxed.

By making changes to two of the early game items, the Comfort Mod makes your game… well, more comfortable.

The Life Ring and Covetous Silver Serpent Ring now have updated stats and buffs to help you stay alive through your journey from the beginning all the way to the end of the game.

With buffed max HP, FP, Stamina, souls gained, and HP regeneration, you’ll find that Estus Flasks aren’t as crucial as they would normally be.

If you’re just getting into Soulsborne games and would like to experience what it’s all about, without the infuriating difficulty, well this is the mod for you.

19. iGP11

iGP11 is pretty much an essential, almost all graphical mod. Probably the best out there.

Although it gives you total control over textures in the game, most graphics mods are simply presets for iGP11.

You’ll need this one for most of the visual changes on this list so I consider this more like a basic staple: it won’t do much by itself, but definitely good to have.

18. All PS4 Controller Icons for IGP11

A lot of PC gamers prefer to use the PS4 controller. Especially for third-person games like DS3.

Whether you’re just used to the DS4 layout or just don’t have an Xbox controller lying around, you probably hate when how must games don’t have DS4 support.

Lucky for us, EASKATER presents us with a simple fix.

The All PS4 Controller Icons mod replaces all the Xbox icons in the game with the correct PS4 icons.

In a game like DS3 no one wants to accidentally hit the attack button when you really mean to dodge. When every move matters, this mod will help keep you alive regardless of controller choice.

17. Draw Distance Increased – ULTIMATE

Dark Souls has come a very long way graphics-wise since the release of the first game back in 2011.

Though DS3 is arguably the best-looking game of the series, that doesn’t mean there aren’t any improvements to be made.

Almost all games nowadays have that one scene where you’re taken through a mountain path where just over the cliff is a gorgeous view of the world. A chance to take a break from the gameplay and just appreciate the game’s visual design.

As there are multiple moments like this in DS3, Draw Distance Increased improves on the level of detail seen from a distance.

This fixes an issue many gamers had with the game where textures would take too long to load when far away from the character.

Overall a great graphical upgrade that makes the game run smoother and look much better than it already does.

16. Spaghetti Penguin’s Enhanced Blood Mod

Violence in video games is always a touchy subject. But most gamers would agree that it just adds to the immersive experience of games we love.

Games like Doom and God of War even bank on the goriness they’ve become known for.

Spaghetti Penguin’s Enhanced Blood Mod aims to improve on just that: making blood and splatter effects more realistic. Building on the Red Blood Mod by SniperWolfP, this mod changes the color of blood in the game adding shades of crimson and dark red.

The overly bright spilling effect and environment textures are now more realistic. Just what you’d be looking for, right?

15. Color Clarity

There are many visual presets available for iGP11. But Color Clarity is probably one of the best in my opinion.

Some mods make the game way too dark, while others just take too much away in terms of detail.

Color Clarity is a great mod if you’re just looking to make everything look better. But without completely changing the look and feel of the game.

The default washed-out look is made much warmer.

In effect, colors are now more vibrant making the world look more realistic.

The details in the environment pop more, while gameplay is not affected. Shadows and brightness are not changed so everything is still as visible as in the vanilla version of the game.

14. Visual Infusion Effects

A simple mod that adds visual effects to infused weapons.

A huge part of Dark Souls has to be the different weapon builds that you can explore. Making each playthrough interesting, you can choose to maximize different weapon types, as well as explore upgrade paths depending on what best suits your playstyle.

Though adding elemental effects to your weapons has a huge impact in terms of gameplay. It may appear underwhelming as it does not change the weapon designs at all.

Visual Infusion Effects aim to change that.

As you can guess, fire weapons now appear as if they are burning. Poison weapons have a purple glow. And lightning weapons have that electrically-charged appearance similar to the Nameless King’s Dragonslayer Swordspear.

Dark Souls 3 Boss Rush Mod Ps4

A small mod, but you’ll definitely feel the change when hacking through bosses with a flaming sword.

13. Moonlight Greatsword Restored

Continuing on weapons in the Dark Souls series, fans of the older games are probably familiar with the Moonlight Greatsword.

One of the rarest swords in the game, many Dark Souls players were excited to see whether it would make an appearance in the third game.

But many players where underwhelmed, as the appearance of the weapon was drastically changed in Dark Souls III.

Modder zARCADEz wanted to bring back the iconic look of the Moonlight Greatsword from the previous games.

Reapplying the bright green glow, getting the sword in DS3 is now as exciting as it was in the previous games. That color is most likely where it gets its name, after all!

12. Darkdrift Reborn

Darkdrift is another hidden weapon in Dark Souls III.

As with most hidden items that aren’t easy to get, you were most likely expecting something grander than what the vanilla version of the Darkdrift looks like: a translucent katana that pretty much looks like every other katana in the game (except this one is see-through).

Obviously, someone felt the same way (or maybe it’s just his favorite weapon and wanted it to look cooler).

This mod makes multiple visual changes to the Darkdrift, adding a black flame when used to strike.

Dark Souls 3 Mods On Ps4 Gamestop

No question, this makes the Darkdrift a truly badass weapon. Which it was meant to be.

11. Vulgar Bonfire Text Replacement

The next two mods on the list don’t do much, but are fun to enable.

As the name implies, you should probably keep these away from the kids.

A simple change to the bonfire text, instead of “Bonfire lit” it will now read “It’s Fuckin’ Lit” every time you discover a new bonfire.

Dark Souls players know how a bonfire may be that last light of hope after repeatedly grinding through the most difficult areas of the game.

This simple mod somehow enhances that feeling of achievement when you finally get to that next checkpoint.

10. Vulgar Death Message Replacement

Similar to the Bonfire Text Replacement mod, Vulgar Death Message Replacement changes the death text of the game.

Yes, we all know how iconic that “You Died” fade to black screen has become.

This just changes it into what you’re probably thinking after dying to the same boss for the 30th time.

Somehow though, the mod makes it less annoying to die in the game. Which is always welcome in Dark Souls.

Again, you’re probably going to want to keep the kids away from this one. But then again, if they’re already playing a DS game…

9. Hunter’s Combat

Newer fans of the series are probably more familiar with Bloodborne.

One of the newer games by FromSoftware, Bloodborne veered away from the medieval theme of the previous games and took a more gothic, Victorian approach.

With the Hunter’s Combat mod you can merge a Bloodborne experience with DS3, replacing vanilla weapons, animations, and movements with ones found in Bloodborne.

Good fun for fans of the Soulsborne series as a whole.

8. Wex Dust

Invasions are a huge part of online play in Dark Souls III.

If you enjoy the PvP aspect of the game, you’re probably familiar with Red Eye Orbs.

However if you’re focused on PvP right now, you know how difficult it can be moving from area to area just to find someone to invade. Dince Red Eye Orbs only look for players in your current location.

With this mod, players can now purchase a new item called “Wex Dust” from the Shrine Handmaid. Similar to Red Eye Orbs, except this time you’re matched with players from all areas of the world.

A simple fix to avoid the hassle of finding other people to play with.

7. Ten(10) New Classes

For the more veteran Dark Souls fans: if you feel you’ve gotten the most out of the game, having played through it so many times that there just aren’t any more builds you haven’t tried before, this is something to look into.

10 New Classes does exactly as it says: adds ten unique classes to the vanilla version of the game.

You can now play through the game as either a Spear of the Church, Thorns Knight, Slave Knight, or Wandering Knight, among quite a few others.

Each class has a different set of starting stats as well as new appearances, so now is the best time to get to your next DS3 run.

6. Enable Classic Poise

Many Dark Souls fans were disappointed with the poise mechanic in DS3.

They felt the updated poise mechanics were flawed or even worse, not working at all.

Luckily you can use Enable Classic Poise to make poise stats work like they did in the previous Souls games.

Especially helpful if you’re into tank builds, give this one a try.

5. StraySouls

There are those Dark Souls fans who love the game precisely because of the challenge. Believe it or not, there are mods out there that actually make the game even more difficult.

If you’re into that kind of thing, check out StraySouls.

It basically randomizes enemies, so the trial and error approach we’re all used to no longer comes into play.

You can randomize everything from normal enemies, bosses, and NPCs.

You can even multiply the number of enemies up to 9x the amount in the vanilla version. Why you’d want this, I don’t know. But if you love a challenge(as if vanilla wasn’t enough) check this out.

4. Challenge Mod/NPC Stat Modifier

The next three mods come in a pack by Zullie the Witch. Known as the Challenge Mods pack, each mod gives the game a different kind of difficulty from the original version.

The first is NPC Stat Modifier, which allows you to change HP, damage, and defenses of the NPCs in the game.

Now when summoning NPCs for boss fights, they’ll have the stats that you chose for them.

Whether this makes the game harder or easier is entirely up to you.

3. Challenge Mod/First Person Cam

The next mod is First Person Cam. Yes you read that right.

You can now play Dark Souls III in first person perspective.

As if dodging and parrying attacks wasn’t hard enough, you’ll now have to do so with a much more limited FOV.

Of course, what makes it more challenging is that the game wasn’t intended to be played this way.

This should make for an interesting reimagining of the game.

2. Challenge Mod/Aggression Mod

Last on the list of Challenge Mods is the Aggression Mod.

Simply put, enemies will notice you from farther away and be more persistent in chasing you down once sighted.

As if we needed much more of that in Dark Souls.

Time to git gud, git even better, and prepare to die even more.

1. Cinders

Cinders is probably the largest Dark Souls III mod out there.

A complete overhaul aiming to provide a fresh experience of the game.

Weapons have been rebalanced, making new builds viable and even really fun to test.

You can now even complete the game with a ranger build, focusing on bows rather than swords.

There are additional weapons too, along with new upgrade paths, NPCs, and more.

Basically with Cinders you get tons of additional content from DS gamers themselves, with an unlimited amount of ideas for improving on a game we all love. Definitely give this a try if you can.

WK Followers - Weekly Creation Kit Update 01

Curious about the progress of the mod? Then pay this blog a visit at the beginning of the week and take a look at my weekly CK Updates!

Developer Journal: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12

This week, unfortunately, was a little slow. I’ve been sick with the flu ever since Christmas. When I was finally beginning to feel better... I caught the stomach flu. Go me. Lucky for you these kind of things don’t stop me from modding. As long as I can drag my ass out of bed and sit in front of a computer, I will work on these followers.

So, with that out of the way... shall we begin?

HIGH PRIORITY:

Interior Cells:

First of all: Most of my interior cells have actually been completed a long time ago. There’s not much left to do except for optimizing and navmeshing one or two of them. Here’s the thing, though. Navmeshing? No problem. I don’t know what all the fuss is about; it’s straight forward, simple work. But optimizing? I can’t tell you how much I hate it. It’s simple in theory. Set up a couple of room markers, make sure your references are within their borders, connect them with portals. Then pray to whatever god you might believe in while firing up the game and hope that parts of your dungeon won’t fade out in the middle of your test run. In my case, 95% of the time it just doesn’t work out and I need to start all over again. It’s time-consuming. Frustrating. But I’m getting there.

What does that mean? Everything I need has been built. Dungeons have been populated and navmeshed, as well as partially optimized. Lights and FX will probably be changed a couple more times until I’m satisfied with them. What I haven’t completely set up yet are the locations and encounter zones. In fact, only one dungeon has them assigned for now. But it’s simple enough, easily doable in the course of an evening. I don’t think I’ll tackle this in the coming week, though. There’s things that are far more important on my to-do-list.

Quests:

Seeing as this is my first proper CK Update, I’ll also let you know where I’m on these. Every one of my followers has several quests that are unique to them. Adding their mental models (where I store their opinions and dialogues), player monitiong, blocking topics, introductions and romances, it’s safe to say every follower has at least five+ quests associated with them. Their mental models are completed. But, if you’ve read my last journal entry you might already know that - when I started this mod -, I made glaring mistakes in the dialogue view. I’m still ironing these out. In fact, I’ll be doing so for quite some time, I’m afraid. About the personal quests. They’ve been penned down more than half a decade ago. I had more ambitious goals in mind. Imagined my followers differently than they turned out in the end (what is it with characters just hijacking your stories all on their own?). Three of them have been finished, but need to be changed a little. Proofread, balanced, optimized. The other three I have to re-write completely. I’m just not satisfied enough with my work.

What does that mean? The essential quests, like follower dialogue, combat dialogue, opinions and commentary are as good as completed. I usually add commentary lines whenever I come up with new ones. They’re always expanding. This could probably go on forever and ever. If I wanted to, I could stop working on them right now and you’d still have plenty to discover. But as long as I’m still working on other parts of the mod, I will continue to add new lines. Personal quests need to be re-worked. A lot. And while writing the quests definitely won’t take too long, implementing them will. Don’t worry. I’ve gotten a lot better with this over the years, though. If I ever hit a snag, I’m sure I’ll figure it out in a couple of days, and I’ll certainly let you know if I expect it to take longer than that. Quests take the highest spot on my to-do-list at the moment. They also eat up most of my time, especially with the Creation Kit constantly crashing while I fix my old mistakes. (If you’re a modder yourself and you find yourself in a similar situation... did you know that you can tell the Creation Kit to create backups of your .esp every couple minutes? A lifesaver, that feature.)

LOW PRIORITY:

Actors:

Supporting and minor actors are portrayed by placeholders for now. I’m still not sure if I want them to be standalone, too. That’s a lot of work and barely pays off for them. Of course, they all look unique in my mind, but I’m debating the necessity of it. 

Magic:

My mages use personalized spells. I’m note sure if they’re balanced enough yet. With all the magic overhauls out there it’s almost certain they’re not. I guess I could always fix this up once the mod’s been released and the complaints come in, but I still want to hold myself to a certain standard. Perhaps I’ll download these overhauls and play with them for a while to see how bad it is. Patches can always be released later, if needed.

Models & textures:

Blending, blending, blending! So much blending still needs to be done. I also need to ask for a couple of permissions that I couldn’t secure yet. The main reason being the mod authors having left the Nexus/ dropped off the face of the internet. As stated before, if I can’t secure permission, then these models/textures will be replaced and/or removed.

CK & folder structure cleanup:

Really low priority, for obvious reasons. I don’t know how many more of these assets I need.

TES5Edit:

The final step before release. I’m sure you all know why this has to be done. I’m familiar with TES5Edit, no big deal.

SO... TL;DR?

Dungeon optimization, quest implementation and bug fixing’s eating up most of my time. Actors, magic and assets need to be reviewed and (probably) overhauled before release. When’s that? No ETA yet.

... And that concludes our CK update of the week. Thanks for your interest in my mod and the support you show me! It’s quite overwhelming, actually. I’m really excited to share this journey with you and hope to see you around!
