This is a little questpack that lets you join the Society of the Performance Arts, who identify themselves as the biggest bard troupe in the Iliac Bay.

I eventually want to turn this into a full guild mod with its own guildhall, faction, ranks, benefits etc, when I figure out world data overrides and everything else I need to mod in a guild, but for the moment it's all handled through a questpack, like the carthographers guild quests from QP1.

The startup of this questpack plays out in a similar way to my Perform At Taverns mod (and I guess I should probably merge them lol): Once you get the initial quest (BG0) Running, you'll occassionally be offered the opportunity to perform to entertain people in taverns. However, once you get an Amazing performance (identified by the "you get a standing ovation" message), a few days later you'll receive a letter from a member of the guild offering you the chance to join. If you accept, you'll be given a magical talisman which, when used inside a city, will reveal to you the name and location of a member of the guild who will offer you a quest (this is just a temporary solution until I give the guild an actual guildhall).

Right now the quests include:

BGQ1: Perform as a jester at a local noble's birthday party (Success depends on a Personality attribute check)
BGQ2: Help the owner of a library attract more clients by doing a live reading of a book (Personality attribute check)
BGQ3: Sing at a tavern to entertain a squad of orcs (Orcish skill check)
BGQ4: Help a noble write a speech (Etiquette skill check)
BGQ5: Perform at a teather play (Randomly picks between an Etiquette or Streetwise skill check)
BGQ6: Help a guildmate who's supposed to go to a rehearsal find a lost script (this doesn't include any skill/attribute checks, it's just a fetch quest)

I'm open to ideas for more quests, and for ideas for benefits, services and things like that for when I eventually turn the guild into an actual faction.

Installation:

Unzip the file inside StreamingAssets/Questpacks. If you're going to use it in an existing save game, you'll have to manually start the questpack by opening up the console and typing "startquest BG0" (or "startquest BG2" if you don't want to skip right to the part where you are asked to join the guild)


EDIT: Had to release a fix bc I realized I made a mistake in the code that made the BG0 and BG1 quests start multiplying indefinitely. It should be better now.
