Bumpity bump bump. Seriously, though, anyone have any ideas on how to do this? Create a custom faction that gets special abilities and a new appearance without losing their initial race in the process? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the tips, Jokerine. The more I think about it, the more I think I might try to emulate vampirism for the faction - it would allow members to keep their racial abilities, give them the new abilities, and give them a new texture. I would just need to set it to take effect when the player joins the new faction. The question is, how would I do that? Would it just be like making a new race & then (somehow) have the effect applied of changing the race to factionrace?

Hey guys, I'm new to modding and was looking into possibly making a new faction. Thing is, before I do it I want to make sure that what I want to do is even possible, and that brings me to my questions. The faction I want to create, which the PC would be able to join, would tattoo their members on their initiation. Is is possible to give custom texture overlays to factions as opposed to races?Is it possible to give custom powers to factions, and if so, how?I know that I could give do the above with a new race, but the problems with that are 1) the player would not be able to join the faction unless he was a member of the race and 2) the members would lose their racial abilities in favor of the new race... I would like to allow the members to keep their racial abilities in addition to gaining the benefits of joining the faction. Any help and/or insight that any of you could offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for the assist Thomriis. I had to uninstall everything and start from scratch, and it turns out that the bug itself is still there! However, on the flip side, I *was* able to buy a horse from the Whiterun stables, which is done by dialogue option. Perhaps it's no longer a problem? I don't know, but I'll keep you posted when I find out more. Thanks again.

Actually, no, I'm playing on a PC (my laptop) via Steam and the SKSE launcher. :) Although, you're right, all of the instances I came across of other people with this bug have all been on platform systems. Gold normally shows up in Misc, or All; or, at least it used to, before this bug hit. Now, it only shows up at the bottom of the screen by my health stats. Like I said, I can buy from vendors and such not a problem, since I still have the gold on some level. The problem is when I try to use the gold in some kind of dialogue option (which is why I'm stuck in Solstheim, since the sailor takes the money for the trip by dialogue option rather than the buy/sell interface). As for the patch I'm using, I have to confess that I don't know, honestly. How would I find out?

Hey guys! I'm kind of new to these forums, so please forgive me if I make a mistake or post this where it doesn't belong. The problem is that my gold is no longer listed in my inventory (normally found under miscellaneous or all). I still have the gold (the gold I have can be seen at the bottom of the screen near my weight allowance). It's not a problem with merchants, since I can buy and sell items with no problem. It *does* become an issue, however, when I try to use my gold with anyone by way of dialogue. By way of example, I first noticed it when I tried to sail back to Skyrim from Solstheim - I couldn't leave, since the transaction with the sailor is done by way of dialogue option. Switching to another save game doesn't fix the problem, either, since whatever causes this bug it infects all the other save slots. I've searched here, google, and several other skyrim forums for a solution to this. While I've found others who have reported the same issue, I haven't seen anything by way of a fix, solution, or workaround. Anyone have any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
