Readme for Immersive Idiots: Roderick Redbeard
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Installation:
Use NMM or place the contents of the archive's "data" folder in the corresponding folder of your Skyrim directory.

Changelog:
I use the Nexus' changelog function. Reference the mod page.

FAQ's:
Q: Is this a quest mod or a companion mod?
A: It's both, really. It began as a straightforward questline called "Unnatural Selection" and then ballooned into a larger project when I got behind the mic.

Q: How do I start the second quest?
A: Wait for Roderick to return to Jorrvaskr, then ask him about additional work.

Q: Where are the other "idiots"?
A: In my imagination and some scattered notes. They might be brought to life at a later time.

[If you don't play Fallout: New Vegas, ignore this next question]
Q: WHY ARE YOU RELEASING THIS SHIT INSTEAD OF NEW VEGAS BOUNTIES III?! I WANT MARKO'S SOUL!
A: Production on NVBIII is ongoing. I spent a grand total of two weekend on this as a means to update my lackluster skills with Papyrus. Relax.

Q: Does this release signal your move away from Fallout? *gasp*
A: I don't take an either/or approach to Fallout and TES. I enjoy both, and I can see myself bouncing back and forth between them for the foreseeable future. However, I won't be producing large mods for TES until NVBIII is complete.

Q: Based on that vague jumble of blather you call a "description", I gather the "plot" involves speaking with a garrulous, quirky questgiver who dispatches the player to kill unique entities. How very original.
A: Fuck off.

Q: I'm using Jagoff5000's "Immersive ENB Nipple and Combat Overhaul", and your mod is too hard. Can't you make an easier version?
A: I have a solution. Close your eyes, gently caress your nipples, and whisper, "Immersion" repeatedly. Then uninstall and un-endorse.

Q: Is this mod *really* lore-friendly?
A: Probably so, but it ultimately boils down to the tastes and temperament of each player. I'm not going to agonize over it for such a small mod. For larger projects, I'll be much more thorough.

Q: Why do I have to complete the Companions questline first?
A: When I considered how to best insert a drunk, murderous pervert into Skyrim, my inclination was to take a "damage control" approach with respect to vanilla content. Considering the supreme stupidity of the Companions' questline, I thought Roderick's presence could only help.

Q: So does this signal the scale and quality of content that we can look forward to in future Skyrim plugins? *cringe*
A: No, this was just a sideshow that aided in refreshing my skills. I have design documents for "real" quest mods, rest assured.

Q: Who voiced Roderick Redbeard?
A: Orson Welles.

Q: I found Roderick's voice acting to be unbearable. Can't you hire/recruit/provide sexual favors in exchange for the services of/threaten a "real" voice actor?
A: Uninstall and un-endorse. And fuck off.

Q: Is Roderick related to the character from your "Prophesy of Pendor" Let's Play?
A: Maybe...

Q: Why don't you take descriptions and/or readme's seriously anymore?
A: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Sorry, I just... do you know how many players ignored them when I did take them seriously?

Q: What motivates you?
A: Alcohol and old movies.

Q: Do you believe in God? (People ask this kind of shit in PM's)
A: Buy me a drink and I'll give you an answer.

Q: What's your sexual orientation?
A: IMMERSIVE!

Q: You were drunk and sleep deprived when you threw this together at the last minute, weren't you?
A: GET OFF YOUR FUCKING HIGH HORSE! (Yes)
