metaphorset Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Hi guys, I'm not really sure if this is a problem related to some mod... Skyrim did a really crappy job with random encounters during all of my 5+ characters but now it seems to get worse. I remember my first playthrough in 2012 when 7 out of 10 random encounters were those with the fugitive and his stolen enchanted item and - of course - the random dragon attack and M'aiq. After that I started some other playthrougs (none of them finished) where I mostly got the old orc with the two dead sabre cats, sometimes the fugitive and M'aiq plus dragon attacks.During my last attempt to another complete playthrough I ended up with over 10 Charmed Amultes because I always stumbled upon the revelers. Not counting those ones where I didn't have any Honingbrew Mead in my inventory. After a complete fresh install I now get Hook, the Afflicted on his way to High Rock, at least 15 times in a row. I passed M'aiq once quite early in the game and also had one encounter with the revelers and one with an angry Bosmer. And, well, the dragons... Anyone with similar problems out there?

Ellorienne Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I've had the same problem. I fixed the afflicted refugees for myself by changing the required level in the story nodes or something like that (or just complete the quest). I don't know how to fix the other ones. M'aiq often hangs around in one place for quite a while, and Balbus seems to stay where he spawns. You could increase the chances of encounters by getting the more encounters mod. That might help if you're looking for something in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metaphorset Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 Ellorienne, thanks for the hint. It seems indeed to be a problem with the "The Only Cure" quest. In my former playthroughs I tend to ignore the Afflicted, this time I decided to talk to him. I went to Solitude, saved there and went to Meridia's shrine. Normally every reload would get me a different encounter but in my case I got the Afflicted five times in a row.Then I triedSetStage DA13 10 and tried again and got Thalmor Justiciars, lots of shock magic and a fast death. Yay! Now I'm going to visit Peryite's shrine and do the SetStage thing without cheating... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
