LE Follow to Kill

[Sluggy42]

A great idea for assassins. Adds a new line of chat to most NPC's that can make them follow you. Please make this a standalone mod if its made.

 

How it works:

 

New chat lines for you:

Your child wants you, their crying, follow me, i'll take you to them

Your child needs you, their hurt, i'll take you to them

 

Person could reply in these ways:

Where is she! (Follows you)

Where is he! (Follows you)

What happened? (You have to reply in one of these ways (The person will only believe one answer):

a. They fell over (If false will think its a joke, if true will follow you)

b. They were bullied (Might say by who?, might say their child is strong enough to defend themselves)

c. They cut themselves (Might say their child is smart enough to not cut themselves, might follow you)

Oh, leave him be, he's a strong lad (will not follow you)

Oh, leave her be, she's perfectly capable of taking care of her self (will not follow you)

I don't have any children! Guards, Guards! (Guards come and put you in jail)

 

Depending on your Speech levels, is how far they will follow you.

Women will follow you further than men will

Certain races will care less about their children and not follow you

 

If someone hears you and knows the person you speaking to does not have children they will tell on you to the guards

Drunken people have very high chances of following you even if they don't have children!

If you are carrying alcohol and you need to lure someone away who has no kids and is not drunk you can have a drinking contest to make them drunk

 

This my mod idea. If you decide to make the a real mod please credit me and add a link in your description. I would like it to be compatible with Dawnguard and Dragonborn if its made. Hope you like it and please comment, send suggestions and praise!

first this is your idea, but we as modders are not required to ever mention your name.

second there is no existing script that has characters over hear your conversations (that is why they will walk up to you while you talk to someone else and make an idle comment as though you just walked past them) so I don't know how we can do that, because that's a completely different mod that would need to be made right there. third why would a woman follow you further?

fourth most people in this game don't have kids.

[Sluggy42]

Ok, so woman would follow you further because they care about the child more. The thing with not so many people have kids can be fixed by adding more kids (Less in places like Riften) to people who own shops and such. If its not required to credit me I'm fine with that. With the people over hearing you is it possible or is it not?

[DoctorKaizeld]

the issue with women caring more is that this is Skyrim Male Nords are protective of their families and care greatly for their children so that would actually be lore breaking unless you separate Nord males from the rest. adding more kids would not be a good idea, maybe just a different type of distraction for people who don't have kids. im not sure if its possible... I'm an NPC modder, but I have never thought of trying it. it could be possible I guess, but who knows.

[Sluggy42]

I'm still very new to skyrim so if Male Nords are protective they can follow you further. The distraction for other people could be:

Dogs

Cows

Dying Crops

Free food (Beggars)

Ale (Addicts to it)

Hopefully it is possible to do it :)

This is awfully complicated, an easier and more lore friendly alternative might be the option to ask if an NPC "Wants to make a bit of coin" since everyone is liable to take money, even the rich. Possibly a persuade option and if that fails just an actual bribe to make them follow you for a short while, this wouldn't require any new dialog either, since just snipping a simple "yes" "no" and "hmmm" or something to that effect would do as a response.

Personally not a mod that is something that I'd be interested in and I'm no modder either, I'm just trying to suggest a simpler and easier to implement alternative

[Sluggy42]

Ok so your newest post says its to complicated but saying they could make some coin only works with poor people because rich people wouldn't need it. The complications are so you have less chance of making them follow you.

From a "noob" modders perspective i would consider this "too hard" for a single person to create. This 'simple' mod would require days, if not weeks to perfect.

 

Because most scripts are non existant. And thus needs to be created. Which is frustrating and can be hard.

 

im not a pro and won't say this is impossible. Just that its probably a to big request to make...

[DoctorKaizeld]

its not huge, because there are scripts for NPCs to follow you. so it would just be a few scripts and than adding them to the NPCs in game.

Mind you im not talking about that script im merely talking about the eavesdropping part.

 

You dont honestly believe i did not already know about the follower script? i have played skyrim you know..

i do mod in my free time.

 

 

i suppose you could mix some scripts like when you've done a certain thing a NPC will greet you diferently.

 

Like when you've killed Mirmulnir (first dragon) Guards will says new quotes like "by Ysmir you did it!, you killed a dragon!..."

 

though im not sure how one would implement that script into this type of mod.

 

i would think that the script would run after the player has said something and then limiting the script to any npc in the local cell.

ofcourse the npc you ask would also need a child flag so the other script would know when one had a child or not.

 

 

 

Btw. You get jailed for asking them to follow you cus their by saying their child cries and they should follow you? and they dont have one? seems a little i lack the proppa word for it... sorry
