TheMastersSon Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 (edited) I punched Lucien Lachance in Fort Farragut and he followed me outside to finish the fight. With some help I got him all the way back to Skingrad. If he follows me into Summitmist Manor will he be stuck there? I'm partially through the DB quest and he's scripted to die soon. Any ways around it? I've managed to keep Donton past his scheduled demise. Also, why does Lachance stay put in some houses but not others? If he follows me into my house in Skingrad he immediately leaves. Really I'm not that bad a host. Edited February 8, 2011 by TheMastersSon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker879 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I did some poking around in the Construction Set on our friend Lucien and see that he has two entries, LucienLachance and LucienLachanceHunted. The LucienLachance entry has AI packages to get him to Fort Farragut and then wander there after you've started the Dark Brotherhood quest. This entry also has the standard default wander at current location package. Could be that when he 'seems' to stay at some houses his AI package has not yet updated leaving him using the default package (wander current location). Other times the cell change (e.g. entering a house) triggers an AI package refresh. The LucienLachanceHunted entry's AI packages are for near the end of the quest-line. He doesn't however have a LucienLachanceDEAD entry, as do some who suffer scripted death (e.g. Biene Amelion has a BieneAmelion entry and a BieneAmelionDEAD entry). It will be interesting to hear the results of your 'experiment'. Glad to see I'm not the only one who likes seeing what loopholes you can find.

TheMastersSon Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 Thanks for the info. I reloaded the game and Lachance no longer flees Rosethorn Hall. I think my weapon was drawn last time so that's probably why he wasn't sticking around. He's in the basement, now I just need to figure out what to do with him. He's not a follower (unless you smack him first), and even then it's not good for much because he immediately gets sidetracked by fights with other people/things who invariably kick the snot out of him. Lucien isn't a very fast runner and Donton is a much better fighter. I'll see if he gets stuck inside Summermist Manor, but I think he'll just vaporize if I continue on the DB quest. I checked my basement at Rosethorn after Next of Kin and he had disappeared, and I had to reload an earlier game to get him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker879 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 A question for you, if you don't mind. Are you doing this to get a follower or just for the sheer pleasure of trying something. The reason I ask is there's far better followers available via CM Partners (http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=7819) or one of the individual partners (e.g. Companion Vilja @ http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=28977). There's also the 'roll your own via the Construction Set method', which will offer you all the challenges you've ever hoped for (well at least it's done that for me :laugh: ).

TheMastersSon Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 Thanks. It's mostly the latter, just enjoy messing with the stock game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
