Systematically Ruin Nazeem


GlytchMeister

Recommended Posts

Ok, so thereâs obviously a LOT of mods out there that enable the player to have fun killing or otherwise screwing with Nazeem.

 

But I am a bit⦠detail-oriented.

 

So hereâs the idea:

 

Thereâs a mod that involves Nazeem getting busted for tax evasion and imprisoned, and Chilfurrow farm is abandoned, but thatâs not enough.

 

Thereâs also mods that restore wintersand manor and alter ahlam and nazeemâs AI to take advantage of them.

 

I want to be the one who busts Nazeem for tax evasion. I want to be able to buy Chilfurrow Farm as well as Wintersand Manor (on the cheap if Iâm a Thane of Whiterun because they were seized by the Jarl), and I want Ahlam to be happy about her trash husband being removed from her life, and to be available for marriage.

 

And finally, when heâs released from jail (unless it makes sense for him to be executed or held for life), I want his attitude adjusted accordingly. No more holier-than-thou haughty snotty sneering. Maybe use that voice line synth tool or even just fully revoice him so his ego and attitude are reduced to match the tiny, sorry excuse for a man that he really is.

 

The quest doesnât even have to be that complex. Just talk to Proventius (maybe after youâre in the thieveâs guild?), he asks you to look into it, and you take a couple books - a true ledger and a cooked ledger - and hand them over. After that, everything else is taken care of by the guards.

 

Those are the core features. Below are really just little bonus bits that would be nice, but I havenât seen anything like them before, so I donât know how possible they are.

 

Maybe make it so the player can make Chilfurrow farm a profitable business. No tax worries, of course, because theyâll be Thane, but maybe have a chest or a strongbox that respawns some gold, and be able to farm alchemy ingredients with the hearthfire system. Maybe even have the amount of gold tied to how much the planted crops are worth.

 

Of course, if you donât want to marry Ahlam, maybe you could just have her function like a housecarl for Chilfurrow, retaining the income functionality while you let Lydia hold down Breezehome and you get to live like a real Thane in Wintersand.

I think the apostrophe and ellipses problem stems from a text encoding style mismatch. My aging brain won't recall what it is, but I think it is from newer versions of rtf-8...

 

I use firefox, and maybe it is the setting that allows web pages to use their own fonts? This is a wild guess, BTW.

The site only likes the more standard forms of appostrophes and triple periods, rather than fancy apostrophes and single-character elipses.

Just use the actual key found on a typical keyboard, disable any font replacers for this site.

 

Condescending and rude as Nazeem is, him being actually guilty of tax evasion just doesn't seem proper. I'd rather see that as a Thieve's Guild deceit.

Thats a good idea, actually. Make it so Nazeem ticked off Olfrid and so Olfrid decided to have Nazeem framed. It is in-character, Olfrid is a sneaky, underhanded man. He knew about Thorald Gray-Mane, and he has the Thieves Guild forge prison records to save Arn, and he is very proud and petty.
