Nilheim Bandit Quest Fix
v1.0.2
by tarlazo (SE-to-LE backport by Darklocq)
2021-08-15

This is a Skyrim LE backport of the mod "Nilheim BQ Fix" by the prolific
tarlazo (with permission).

Original Mod Description:
=========================

What it does: The Nilheim bandits can respawn and, after the Telrav quest,
behave like normal brigands. Console-addicted players might as well skip
this.

[spoiler]
I also took the liberty of renaming the crooks to "Bandit" right from the
start; setting up a quest just to rename them later felt like a waste of
game resources [and a possible source of conflicts]. I know they're
supposed to be "Guard" to cleverly deceive the clueless player who
approaches the tower without getting the quest from Telrav but ... they
live in what's obviously a bandit camp, "guarding" a few corpses most
likely thrown from the tower; they're supposed to be Telrav's guards but
don't even bother looking for him while he's 50 meters away and the
"wounded" Telrav doesn't bother to give them a holler and ask for help,
he needs your help ... the game's afoot, Watson. Instead of awkward
guards, they'll be bandits taking a break between banditing shifts.
[/spoiler]


The Unofficial Patch isn't required but fixes errors in the Telrav quest.
Better have that, too.

Installation and Requirements
=============================

* Only the base game is required.
* "Unofficial Skyrim Legendary Edition Patch" (USLEP or USLeEP) is compatible
and recommended.
* "Nilheim - Misc Quest Expansion (LE)" is compatible and recommended.

Install like any other mod, with a mod manager or manually. Use LOOT to sort
load order.

It is recommendable to use Merge Plugins Script for TES5Edit, the Merge Plugins
stand-alone app, or the zMerge feature of zEdit to merge these two Nilheim
patches along with other minor mods, to save mod slots in your load order

There are no known compatibility issues to patch for. If one arises, it will
probably be with a sweeping "bandit overhaul" mod. Actually, mods (there are
at least two) that turn Nilheim into a player home could also conflict, and
should load after this mod at the very least (depending on what they are doing,
this may or may not get rid of the bandit respawn points).


Boilerplate
===========

Thanks to tarlazo for the original mod. I (Darklocq) add no restrictions of
any kind to this backport; it simply has the same permissions as the original
(quoted above), and any permission requests should go to tarlazo not to me.
