simtam Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Hi all, The topic of Skyrim alternate starts that have Helgen not yet ruined comes up from time to time, and a recent Reddit discussion https://old.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/comments/df4ky0/an_alternate_start_that_still_has_helgen_intact/ prompted me to make an ETA announcement, for 2019-11-11. Not everyone reads reddit... Here's what's going to be released by that date, at the very least: an update to S.M.O.K. LAL Extension (it is for Skyrim Classic) - there is already a row of levers that enable main quest quickstarts (but really they just wrap "setstage mqNNN 1" console commands), so I guess it will be one more lever labelled as "start before Helgen is in ruins" and displaying a message box "option not supported on LAL, use Helgen Unbound or Skyrim Unbound instead". Also more documentation, and call it S.M.O.K. 1.0.a version 1.0 of Helgen Unbound (currently hidden, available by PM), which will act as a reference implementation of S.M.O.K., so it will be split into base mod and an addon mod. Quite a lot of technical changes might end up in the addon mods, but at least vanilla Helgen bugfixes should be put in the base mod.a proof-of-concept add-on mod, presumably some subset of my story mod, that can be started either with Helgen Unbound and experience something in Helgen before it was ruined, or through the LAL Extension after Helgen was ruined (and then it might add something to the ruins for players to investigate). Perhaps both in one plugin, perhaps separate plugins for these two use cases.and SSE ports of the above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
