kieranfoy Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Many of the inhabitants of the Shivering Isles are intersting people, but of all of them I found Cutter to be the most fun. Cute, a little sexy, and utterly psychotic, she's almost like an elven Wednesday Addams, all grown up and forging weapons. She'd be the perfect opurtunity to make a romance\companion mod that's not all sweetness and light. I'd be happy to write up a few quests for it, if someone would be willing to do the actuall modding. I can write quests and documents and letters and such, and have soooo many ideas. For example, you first get together during the Lady of Paranoia quest, when you Herdir to electrocute her. For some reason, her disposition goes down when you do this in the unmodded Shivering, but given that she likes pain, I would think she'd be grateful, and maybe even interested iin you. You might also bring her the heart of her rival, Dumag Gro-Bonk, as a token of your love... Mwahahahaha! Given her comments, I'd say the romance should be written for either male or female characters (yes, she's at least bi, after all, she made some pretty lecherous comments about Syl). Oh, and for Slawter, here's a picture of Cutter: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grmblf Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 haha that sounds funny! I wish I could write dialogs and AI packages to make quests like this, but this is something that escapes me by now. Do you plan on voiceacting her dialogs yourself? just kidding, but it'd be great to give voice to her insane comments. Are you planning on making it exclusively for an adult public or just want to stay into the limits of what's permissible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you planning on making it exclusively for an adult public or just want to stay into the limits of what's permissible? Well, I honestly can't answer most of your questions definietively, as it mostly depends on whether or not anyone takes up the md. As I said, all I can do is write it. I don't think it'd be voice acted if I had my way, though, as the difference between the new lines and old would be too great. Better no voice acting then bad voice acting, eh? As for the adultness, I figured two eps, one for the adult version (maybe nudity, some swearing and a very graphic journal (Cutters Journal, that is),) and a relatively family-safe version.

grmblf Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 In fact you've answered my only serious question, that was about adultness, and excuse me if sometimes (or always) I write in a misleading manner, that's because english it's not my native language and most of times I write things directly as I think them and the buggy translator application that runs in my little brain isn't capable of some grammatical operation, and thus I write things like "Are you planning..." instead of "have you thought / was your intention to ...". For the adult version notice that you can't relly on nudity, as it depends on body mods, but you can, indeed, relly on dialogs and journal entries, but foremost on first person dialogues, to make it really sweet and spicy. That was mainly what I was asking in my post, if you have a story in your mind in that direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieranfoy Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 That's a goodpoint, really. I suppose that having two versions of each dialogue would be a bit much, so maybe it would be one 'adult-only' version. Nothing excessively graphic by the games standards, though. I mean, there was some pretty heavy innuendo in unmodded Shivering. This mod wouldn't do too much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eavantiger Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Actually, this is quite a good idea. I wish I knew how to mod... I would certainly help you. I've always thought that SI hasn't gotten enough attention from modders. Maybe, like you said, she could ask the player to do various tasks, maybe start with stealing Dumag's matrices (I don't know if that's the plural), then try to drive him out of business, and then maybe she wouldn't be satisfied and would ask you to kill him.This could go many different ways...

Pronam Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 You could simply create one esp which holds a safe version which can be turned in a non 'safe' version..as for lines. When you reached the point creating them it's no problem creating some more... How about doing this one yourself?With some advice here and there things like these are easily made.

Well, I'm sure it's easy enough to do for people with the right brains, but I'm not orderly enough in my thinking to really 'get' modding. I'm more the flighty artistic sort. I need someone who's good at modding to do the modding. Anyway, how would one switch from 'safe' version to 'not safe'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good ideas, all of them. Some quests, I figure, could be done by using her as a 'quest giver,'you know, she mentions something and your journal states that it 'gave you an idea,' you could get quests by asking NPC's for advice, and some would just pop up after a certain amount of in game time had passed after a previous quest. And, it IS a pity that SI has been largely ignored. Never understood why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eavantiger Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Oh, I thought of something else.. Maybe, as you start to gain her trust, she could start forging unique weapons? Perhaps that part could start by her saying something like "I had some spare metal and time.. so I made you this" and it could be a little ring or something. Then if you told her you liked it, she would start making other stuff? There are so many weapons that're modders' resources that look like something that might be made by a denizen of SI. I'm just brainstorming. :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
