When I first encountered them, I was half-way through the Companions questline.

Playing a good-karma werewolf character made that first encounter with them hilarious for me, but also was nice that they simply told me to back-off instead of actively provoke an attack.

Shows they have some semblance of restraint in contrast to 90% of the other NPCs that openly assault the dragonborn.

Is this compatible with the Stendarr's Beacon Enhanced mod?

just a quick question, where can i find them?

@Queep I once made an entire build based around the restoration spell "Poison Rune"
as well as alot of alchemy. Almost finished the dark brotherhood quest, but ended up marrying a lusty argonian maid, Beating nazir into the ground, and running away to elseyr with the lizard lady that I married in vegas... Sorry I meant riften.

@High functioning sociopath
I generally tried to avoid any contact, but if it was unavoidable (such as Hermaeus Mora) then I generally went with any possible "daedra are evil" responses. Ended up being a great character. Restoration gets really fun once you restore stamina as well.

@Qweep
What about the quests where you can betray the daedra?
(Ie: Go with nelecar in the black star to steal azura's artifact, Killing barbas and making clavicus vile weaker than ever, saving sinding, giving the shards of the razor to silus, killing namira's priest and sparing the arkay guy, ect.)

I remember making a character just to play as a vigilant. Sticking to heavy gloves, boots with robes and hoods, only using 1-handers and restoration magic, rejecting all daedric quests... Good times.

VOTSD IS OUT! http://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/profiles/76561198189078709/myworkshopfiles/?appid=72850

@Shadowfyre Maybe Pelagius can be the estranged child.

But here is one for you....Re-unite Sheogoroth and Jyggalag via couples counseling. With the dragonborn being the counseler, heh.

LMAO! Sounds like Twilight Zone meets Skyrim. But still pretty cool! The quests I'll be making on my end will be focused on some old forgotten lore from Morrowind. As a modder, I haven't messed with too many quests before, so this will be new for me.

@ShadowFyre How bout' you, If you have any weird ideas that would seriously mess up someone's Immersion, I need them. Making a quest for every single inn/Jarl's castle in skyrim is very difficult.

@Shadowfyre Ok, How do these ideas sound? Hyjacking a sunbird of alinor to blow up a vampire stronghold, Fighting Cthulhu in the sunken city of r'lyeh that just so happens to have popped up in dawnstar, Hunting the elusive "Roof man", Going through an oblivion gate just to end up in one of sanguine's party realms, Finding a long lost dwemer artifact known as the "Aetherial Gun", Escaping an imperial prison.....In space, Thwarting the return of the dwemer who happen to be obsessed with sweetrolls and for the big finisher, Going all over skyrim to collect pieces of the shattered cloud district to defeat "LORD ZEEM" Once and forall.

If you'd like, we could put our heads together sometime for the benefit of both our mods.

And to answer your question, not at all. First off, some people don't use nexus and only steam. I don't post my mods on here, so those types are out of luck unless they download yours. And no, I like that you have a fresh approach to this mod idea. Though, once my 3.0 is out of beta, I plan on expanding into some quests.

Ah, so that explains it. When I created the new Carcette, I fixed her training bug by hijacking the vanilla dialogue and altering a couple things. The downside of doing that is that it makes the vanilla Carcette useless for training, which isn't a huge deal when she disappears at lvl 10 anyway.

@Shadowfire301
Just so I know that I have not been losing sleep over nothing, Is there a mod on the nexus that unites the Dawnguard Vigilants and the Silver hand under one banner, and then spreads this new "Vigil of the Silver Dawn" All over skyrim giving you missions to kill random monsters? Some of which include Gangster hagravens, The Ghost of Mannimarco and Cthulhu?

@Shadowfyre301
I have never been able to get dialogue working, And I do terrible voices.
So I used A Dragonborn script to make Message boxes appear when you talk to the npcs.

LOL, the nexus version has a Husky named "Stendarr's Little Helper". Still, I like that we both had a similar approach in our mods :) I'm actually curious to know how you used a Dragonborn script in yours.

@ShadowFyre301 Well I had never heard of that mod until now. DAGNAMMIT!
Atleast mine has a giant flame atronach named moe.

This mod has more or less been done already on the nexus. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/83350/

@Fairyfran Bottom left corner of the map, Right around fort dawnguard.

sorry should be beacon?

where do I find the beaon?

@Luxy the Jacobin
There are a few scripts in dragonborn that I needed.

why does it require dragonborn?

I have uploaded a new mod! (It is not VOTSD, or East empire company: expanded.)
I would have done EEC, But I felt that you couldn't have decent Swashbuckling adventures working for the equivilent of the British East India Trading Company. So instead I made "Blood Horkers: Expanded"! So go do the pirate thing while I deal with filling every inn in skyrim with Vigilants of stendarr wearing dawnguard helmets weilding silver swords!

(early morning crappy typing...)

I learned this the hard way. Under `file``you will find a `create archine`option, and a window will open to create a .bsa file, that will include all your scripts, fx and voice files. What is not made clear is that the CK will auto matically pack your scripts and your fx files, but not your voice files. You need to open your Data...Sound...voice..mod name..voice type.....and pack those .wav and .lip files. just alt-A adn drag teh whole lot...don`t have to copy. Rename the file to match your mod on the prompt, end it with a .bsa. Then close that up. Now upload your mod to Steam.

+ rep me, i am dialogue and voice actor kind skrrrt pap pap

Ok then. I am able to get dialogue working. But after I do the mod becomes impossible to upload because it needs an "Archive" What does that mean?

Ha..ha..ha...Let me know if you need advice with dialogue

After I am done with the VOTSD and a SPACE BATTLE with thalmor using a HYJACKED SUNBIRD OF ALINOR Then you can be sure of some awesome pirate stuff!

This is a great idea. I`m always delighted to see those vanilla plot ideas that were never realized come to life. I`d love to see the East Empire Company Expanded.

Thats pretty gay, just cover it in "w33d" clan tags

Should I make it PURPLE or maybe cover it in BUTT HUMPING TENTACLES?

Erm, i dont know, dont suppose it would look like a viking longship like every other ship in elder scrolls

Tsaesci! The snake people that live on akavir! What do you think their boats would look like?

a what boat?

[GP] .F.O.Y.N.E.S. What do you think a Tsaesci looks like? And more importantly, What would a Tsaesci boat look like?

Sounds sick, AC black flag style? xdd

@HermitKermit What do you think of an expansion of the east empire company? Like where you sail boats all over Nirn to random islands? And maybe have awesome boat battles.

no problem. you asked for ideas. mine happened to not be what you wanted. :)

@HermitKermit In oblivion, The knights of the thorn were a glorified group of boy scouts who couldn't really do anything right. Moreso they only protected Cheydinhal so it wouldn't be very lore friendly to have them in skyrim. Also, The expanded series is about taking already existing factions and expanding upon them, Not adding completley new ones. (Even the mod I'm making now is just using 3 existing factions and putting them together.) Sorry if I sounded rude. The idea would be great for an oblivion mod.

Have them as daedra hunters/guardians of the outposts of skyrim. That will give them reason to be at each inn and will also be lore friendly, give or take. The ones in oblivion protect a particular city from "any threat." In skyrim, they could protect outposts and little "defenseless" hamlets from harm.

Add the knights of the thorn faction from oblivion and expand on it. My two cents. http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Knights_of_the_Thorn

Oh and a town entirely full of Bill Cosby's please

Sounds pretty good, acknowledge me in description for being the creative genius behind it or imma sue yo ass famalam xx

sounds lit

@[GP] .F.O.Y.N.E.S. Ok, So how do these sound? Karthwasten is being attacked by a Balling gang of hagravens with machine guns, The Sunken City Of R'lyeh has risen at dawnstar, Markarth is being harassed by a giant skeever that reproduces extremely quickly, In Whiterun. Vampires have defaced jorrvaskr, In morthal werewolves have defaces Alva's house, Because shegorath thought it would be funny solitude has now granted full citizenship to goats, Dragon bridge has a very persistant troll problem, And a swarm of werewolves is moving on windhelm. What does everyone think of those ideas?
