   [edited 07/28/2020] I'm back! I haven't had access to a system that would run the game for a long time but now that is solved. I had to get something capable of playing this and Baldur's Gate 3. I've been playing through the mod again after having gone back through her in Oblivion. I wish they would have kept the ability for companions to initiate conversation. If someone has figured that out, please let me know. I will attempt to fix the marriage issue. Some years ago someone emailed me that he wanted permission to post a fix for it and I have not been able to find it. Again, if you know, let me know. I'm also going to try and make her atmospheric comments a bit more rare. She's too talkative and I'll try and fix it.

   This mod's Quest is Broken definitely needs an update.

   Can you not marry her if you're already married ? i downloaded the mod 300 hours in, already married to mjoll. Does it break the wedding part ? been to Riften a few times with amulet of mara equipped, nothing ever happened. just finished the main quest for viconia btw. would be grateful for help on this (quest finished but the "win her heart" isn't checked)

   didnt find any readme included.
   
   running on LE. have same issue as previous person on SE (post dated 30 may 2020).
   getting this line from her:
   (Viconia looks like she has a question for you but remains silent and continues on with what she was doing)
   available response:   (...)
   after which it repeats. can only tab out. follower becomes unusable after that. line stage 166-168 something. looked it up in tes5edit.
   
   it appears as a result of main quest has not been progressed far enough.  but how far? please include that somewhere. very confusing.
   
   other problems noticed with few (flirt) interactions. didnt change past stage-whatever>86 to their another(more affectionate less violent?) variant.
   
   overall fun follower if not for errors

   What a masterpiece!!! I just reached that part where she surrenders, worth the wait. One of the reasons I play this game is for follower interaction. Ambriel is another mod that leads to a surrender and I enjoy the mod a lot. But I think Viconia is superior. Dare I say more sophisticated ? My only critics would be better comments and awareness of place. Also, stop her rough responses to requests after the surrender. She is not the most beautiful mod. But the feelings engendered and hearing her backstory makes her beautiful. Thank you for the experience now go create another great follower.

      Thanks for the kind words. I'm going to be working through this mod again now that I have a system again that is capable of playing Skyrim. I'd like to fix the marriage issue, I thought someone posted a fix but I can't find it. I'd also like to make her atmospheric comments a little more rare, put some kind of timer on them. It also bothers me that she talks over people taking to you. I'll see if I can fix that too.

      Just curious about something:  I've started this mod about seven times (or is it eight?).  Each time, she ends up being so vile, so insulting, so over-the-top offensive, so blatantly hateful, I have to give up and get rid of her.  It kind of becomes an exercise in masochism -- see how much horrific abuse you can tolerate before you grab a sword and chop her into pieces.  I keep restarting this mod because, other than her thoroughly repugnant personality, it is an extremely well crafted mod.
      
      So, I was rather hoping she eventually..."mellows" out?  But she never has for me.  So, my question is whether you've been able to play this mod through long enough actually to see some kind of "mellowing" of her repulsive character.  Does this EVER happen?  Or is this just wishful thinking on my part?  Because, based on your observations, it sounds as though she never really changes at all; that, even after she shows a tiny degree of mellowness (???), she is STILL insulting and hateful.  Am I reading your commentary correctly or is this even an accurate assessment?  Thank you.
      
      ADDENDUM:  I'm giving this a ninth attempt.  Maybe I'm missing some player dialogue hidden within one of the dialogue trees?  Is that where I can find some appropriate replies to her insults.  For example, the moment she sees me, she says, "What IS that smell?  Is that you?" or something like that.  I keep hoping I'll find the player response where I can reply, "If you don't like that smell, close your legs."  Or something to that effect.  Maybe I must hunt through the various dialogue trees to find something like this.  Or maybe if I use a female player character?  Obviously, she despises men.  Maybe another woman?  We'll see.  I know there must be an answer to this puzzle.  Just have to be persistent, I guess.
      
      UPDATE: I tried approaching her in a female player character.  She was just as foul, as insulting as ever.  So that isn't it.  Also, I noticed that her dialogue doesn't really make any sense; it is disconnected from the reality of the situation.  So now, that's confusing as well.
      
      YES, ANOTHER UPDATE:  I believe I've finally figured her out - I hope. Apparently, it is necessary to be totally accepting of her initial horrific behaviour. By persevering, showing her that no matter how mean and insulting she may be, you are not going to back down - you will not reject her. In fact, through your conversations with her, you will come to understand why she turned out this way and you're determined to prove to her that there are decent, loving individuals in the world, that you are one of them and you are absolutely determined to win her heart. Of course, if my theory is full of crap, I guess I'm screwed, as she'll probably tire of me and my incessant kindness and just cut my throat while I sleep. We'll see...
      
      YET ANOTHER UPDATE:
      Well, it seems I must sit down at the table of shame and eat my every word.  Gods I was wrong about her.  Not about how she is initially, of course.  In the beginning, she is horrific.  But finally, after some dozen or so starts/games with her, I reached that golden, beautiful, heart-wrenching moment when she actually opens up to me.  My god, I was weeping like a snot-nosed rug-rat.  She has turned out to be the very best follower/companion/friend I have ever known in this game.  (Sorry Serana, Sofie, etc.)  The depth of her character is such that  even now, after many hours with her, she is still revealing new information that can cut me to the heart or make me laugh like a little kid.  I'm at a point now where I think, I suspect, that she has dedicated herself to me, but still...  Will she ever feel the Love that a regular man/mer feels?  That remains to be seen.  But my hopes have grown exponentially with this mode that she will, eventually, some wonderful day, actually say that she Loves me.
      
      AN OBSERVATION(?):
      I tried, again, to run this mod with a female player character, thinking perhaps Viconia would be more receptive to a woman's attentions, seeing as she was raised in a powerfully matriarchal society.  Boy was I wrong!  The dialogue for her is so obviously written from the point of view of a female Drow speaking to a MALE surfacer that there simply is no way to play this mod with a female player character and not encounter many illogical dialogue choices on Viconia's part.  It is quite obvious that she is always assuming that she is speaking with a male surfacer, not a female.  I thought that perhaps her dialogue would change, somehow accommodate the change from male to female player character, but it does not.  So, if you play as a female, you will constantly butt heads with dialogue that makes no sense, that violates the immediate situation, that makes her seem blind to the reality of her surroundings.  She constantly referred to my female character as a male, in spite of the fact that my character was standing right in front of her, buck naked and quite obviously extremely female.  So, I don't know.  Perhaps, in future, the mod author might contemplate altering the mod to accommodate this possibility - that the player character might be female, not male.  But I guess we'll have to wait and see.  Regardless, I've grown so attached to Viconia, I am no longer willing to give her up.  She now comprises every load order in which her character fits logically.
      
      YES, ANOTHER UPDATE:
      Curious how this mod started out being one of my most hated; yet, she has ended up being my most loved and appreciated follower.  At this point, I'm not sure I could even play the game without her. One piece of dialogue has the player state that Viconia is the most exotic woman the player has ever encountered. This is no exaggeration. And she is more even than this. Once she "breaks" and finally gives in to the player's relentless kindness and compassion, Viconia becomes as close to "real" as possible for an AI game character. This really is a bit "spooky" when this is accomplished. I suspect a very great deal of that "real" personality can be attributed to the faultless and brilliant performance by the voice actress. She truly makes Viconia come to life, to breathe and to speak and to communicate like a genuine human (sorry, I meant "Drow"). There are very few characters in Skyrim whose voice actors achieve this pinnacle of perfection, but Amber Lee Connors, without question, achieves this easily.

   Hi Sultericdrums
   
   I try to use merge plugins 2.3.1, it checks error , it display Viconia.esp 's error, i.e. Errors[0]: [INFO:XX053A91] ('I'll never get used to this damn cold. How does anyone live here?' in GRUP Topic Children of aaViconiaIdles [DIAL:XX04684A])
   Errors[1]:INFO \ VMAD - Virtual Machine Adapter \ Data \ Info VMAD \ Scripts \ Script \ Properties \ Property \ Value \ Object Union \ Object v2 \ FormID -> [01053A92] < Error: Could not be resolved > , <-- is one of 78 errors.
   All errors are about INFO and DIAL.XX : load order
   
   Are these errors normal?should these errors be ignored ?

      If you are loading merge just to check for errors, you should use Tes5Edit instead. Then you can follow the error and find it on the esp if you want.

   I know that this is a niche mod, but I still feel there's so much potential unrealised.
   
   Pros of this mod:
   
   *Unique dialogue, and romance path, not generally a staple of either pop culture or fantasy stories, without being too .... gratuitous... or Gorean... nor too explicit, but with enough to ensure you understand the dynamic at play and the nature of Viconia, her wants, and needs.
   
   *The above is supported in many ways purely by the quality of the voice actress, who oozes sexy, hot, power and seductive carnal, primal, allure and dark daring promise.
   
   *Reveals a history and nature that can explain her nature, and power... she is quite kick-as*... WITHOUT painting her as some kinds uber muchkin OP chosen one, which saves her becoming unlikable.
   
   *Is awesome in battle.
   
   *Doesnt ask questions too often, but when she does... they can be surprising, like your views on the current geo-politcal situation in the Empire, and who you side with, and her answers are individual...unique.. and of conviction... ergo.. she does not change her answers over all, based on yours, or pull punches, like some custom voiced followers will. She supports who she supports, and will challenge you on it if you have a different view. Things like this are rare, but work for a Drow.
   
   *Has some interesting idle and observational situational dialogue. I like her awareness of the Forsworn, and her simple breakdown of the only true issue with them, for example.
   
   Cons of this mod:
   
   *Tons of lines of dialogue, and clear evidence of eager participation of highly skilled voice actress....that is only accessible through a single option of interaction.
   
   *Missing almost all the immersive and interactive features of just about any other custom voiced follower who spoke as much.
   
   *All the dialogue is contained within aforementioned single trigger branch, and all furtherance and changes, all future dialogue responses, and all conversations, are dependent entirely on HER initiation after reaching a predetermined affinity or time period.... there are few ways to reply to them as well, and no chance for you to revisit them.
   
   *Lacks any additional custom follower abilities like stories, reading to you, or singing... I personally HATE singing followers that do those thing (except Auri from Song of the Green because she is adorable and I will kill anyone who argues with me on that point).....BUT.... such things flesh out and make use of the custom voice and AI the follower has. Viconia has tons of dialogue, but it's all locked behind triggers, and there is no alternative engagement options that give you even a little more depth, like theses (if her main dialogue absolutely has to be locked away on her terms, which I am not sure all of it did).
   
   *Ultimately, this follower exists for ONE reason, complete her mission. The mission begins as soon as you recruit her, there is no option not to, no preamble, or any preconditions or prerequisite quests.... the mod just foists it on you..... and that reason, ultimately, is broken. Win her heart? Which is meant to be brought to closure by her marriage... but the marriage is BROKEN.
   
   *Could really benefit from quest awareness, and more situational dialogue. The lack of such, given the volume of voiced lines, is very noticeable and somewhat befuddling.
   
   *A few voice lines are unvoiced... like if you fondle her butt AFTER she is c*ckstruck with you, and other's are TOO loud, and full of static, obviously being added at a different point to main dialogue.
   
   A lot of potential here, but fizzed at the end.
   
   If the marriage worked... this would be at least a 6 or 7 out of 10... even with how limited she is as a truly custom voiced and AI'd follower, but unfortunately, it does NOT work, and given that's the sole mission, the sole point... and the effort to get there.... that's .... well... I need to score this pretty low. Lower than what I say I would otherwise.

      I had notice some of the same issue so you said I could say
      
      She is well voiced and worth keeping around in the game. I just hope these issues can be worked out and she is expanded on story and game play wise.
      
      Edit: It no big issue but she seem not to notice whether you character is male or female as seem to always assume your character is male ATM it kinda funny as I just chalk it up to her being where she from and not familiar with surface folks.

      If she gets some expanded dialogue trees, actually get's a few branches of interactions from YOU, not needing to be initiated BY her, and if she gets a small quest arc with a few stages, and that is married to some quest awareness, some interactions with NPCs, and some practical functionality, like making something for you, or selling things for you, or even just singing for you, or telling some stories.... maybe to like even say Recorder or Auri level, two great, though not Vilja or Lucien level followers, then she would be a fantastic top tier follower.
      
      Well... if she got that, her missing voice lines got done, and her too lough and static ridden ones got fixed, and MARRIAGE WORKED.... as well as the above anyway.
      
      As I said... there's SO much potential here, she's a diamond in the rough, for sure, but she'll turn to a little dirty nugget of coal if she is not given the polish she deserves.
      
      For now though, I'd even settle for the marriage to work.

    Your SSE version has not correct ported as it has the wrong file header, ... have you read this?

       I'd noticed that too. I put it through the Creation Kit "wringer" and it spat it out as Form 44. I deleted the textures and NIFs it created and, since Viconia is a BSA in SSE, she did not receive the Bethesda Horse Face. She's all OK. So, if people are willing, it can be safely done until a new ESP is supplied.

       That port is now obsolete. Grab my new port here: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/40282
       
       My port is Form 44 & all meshes have been properly optimized for SSE. The BSA causes CTD on load since it's in Skyrim LE format, not SSE format.

    I was looking for Viconia DeVir for Skyrim SE, but your mod didn't come up. I saw a version by Neverwinter Knight, but it is just the common regular voiced follower. Are you still putting her on Special Edition? Kudo's to Neverwinter Knight, for making a follower, but I don't need another typical boring follower. Skyrim LE and SE are being swamped by boring followers. I like that your follower is different, and fully voiced, and possibly surprising. I am not sure why I can't find her, I am thinking of porting her myself, but you know her best, so I thought I would ask here first. And besides that, I just found her on Oblivion, cause that is what I am currently building, so I am not in a rush for SSE at the moment. I am going to try her with her oblivion quest into the underdark, It sounds cool and fun and never played either of them before.
    Let me know if you are still porting her thanks.
    
    Edit: I would be interested to hear your response to zeldasword just because I have tried to fix those types of errors in the past, some successfully, but most not. I have never seen a glitch that I could point at and say, yeah that is where that came from, but I would be interested in learning more about that sort of thing.
    Have a great day.

       @sattyre
       Viconia has already been ported. She's listed just under "Viconia" and you can find her at https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/7858
       
       I found her by checking out the authors name and then looking for mods they've done for SSE
       
       I just downloaded her and have not personally verified it's working yet (will be soon!!!) I stumbled upon this after finding a replacer mod for SSE that links back to the original Viconia. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/31200

       Thank you for the detective work. I think because the conversion doesn't have comments turned on google doesn't seem to find it important.

       That port is broken. I've posted a brand new port that has been properly converted to SSE format unlike the other port. The plugin is still Form 43 & was never unpacked from the original BSA, resulting in CTD when loading the game. My port corrects this & yes, I have Sultericdrums' blessing to upload my properly-converted port. See my post above for the link.
