There are also 'gray area' choices where the player will be faced with making decisions with repercussions later in the mod. That might add a map marker, give a clue, or open a dialogue sequence with another NPC later. For instance I've started placing mod Easter Eggs in the dialogue of NPCs the player will likely talk to. Those of you who have played Mass Effect or the Witcher games will understand what I'm talking about.Īs the mod's story branches out there will be sections of the narrative the player might miss altogether. Some outcomes are predetermined for the sake of the story but some key elements hinge on what the player does. The NPCs' personalities and the player's actions write what happens next. I have a story concept and I'm placing the player and the NPCs I'm using into it. There isn't a foregone conclusion or mediocre plot twist the story is centered around. The mod is going to be a problem for people who can't wrap their heads around that and I doubt the mod will popular because of it.Īnyway, I'm writing the story in a 'non-Bethesda' way. That isn't conducive to what Skyrim players (and Bethesda game players in general) are used to. It's my intention that the player play the mod 'as intended'. This isn't going to be a 'run around and do whatever you want' type of mod. The mod is a narrative adventure where the player has a defined role and the NPCs I'm using react and interact with the player in the context of that role. Though it's not mentioned in the description you'll also want Fuz Ro D-oh – Silent Voice (opens in new tab), without which unvoiced dialogue doesn't work.Įven with all of that set up in advance, most of Fort Knox's women were stuck in glitchy outfits that hung down weirdly, presumably because I hadn't installed the right mod for making them all boobier or whatever.I've been working on the mod's story and it struck me that some players will not like this mod. You'll als need either of Skyrim's competing animation mods, FNIS (opens in new tab) or Nemesis (opens in new tab). That explains why to run it you'll need to first install the ZaZ Animation Packs (opens in new tab), which comes in two versions compatible with either of Skyrim's competing mods designed to make every woman's body look pneumatic. When I return to the bar in my new getup, a drinker with a cybernetic eye is still staring at me, but that's probably just because they're jealous of my stylish gas mask and cardboard armor sleeves.įort Knox is now available on NexusMods (opens in new tab), after initially being released on the NSFW mod portal LoversLab.
