Skyrim Special Edition

This new version offers:

FIXES

  • Stormcloak prisoner escorted by Imperial soldiers removed from equipping soldiers script.
  • Re-fixed the traveling package of the Whiterun Orc.
  • Fixed missing entries in Civil War NPC list.

FEATURES

Adventurers
In Dragonstone there are Adventurers, among other generic NPCs.



These adventurers are doing the same thing to what the player is doing: adventuring. They are all named "Adventurer" and they all are generic.
Some have things to do, some are looking for their next challenge. Some are happy in their pack, some want a new fellowship. Some are interested in a close friendship with the player, some are friendly but won't follow the player.

This is what this new update brings: the player can ask for help from some of these adventurers. This means these adventurers can be recruited as followers and will follow the player as their leader!

Adventurers that are recruited and are leaders of a pack will continue leading their pack. Which means you recruit the leader, you recruit the whole pack. But only the leader takes direct orders from you.

Some adventurers won't want to be recruited. They are doing other things or they just don't like taking orders (from you). They might have an affiliation with another group of adventurers and don't want to break it. Or they may already be on their own quest and don't want distractions.

Radiant Encounters
Another feature this update brings is new Random Encounters:
  • Camping bandits
  • Battles
  • Patrols
  • Camping civilians (adventurers/hunters/merchants/mercenaries/etc.)
  • Camping troops (stormcloak/imperial/forsworn)
  • Vigilants of Stendarr
  • Thalmor Justiciars
  • and more!



Examples:
Couriers
Hunters
Adventurers
Mercenaries

Merchants
Giants
Bandit Patrols
Forsworn Patrols
Imperial Patrols
Stormcloak Patrols
Thalmor Patrols
Vigilant Patrols
Warlock Patrols
Thalmor and Stormcloak Prisoner
Imperials and Stormcloak Prisoners
Stormcloaks and Imperial Prisoners

Battles:
Imperials vs Bandits
Imperials vs Stormcloaks
Warlock vs Atronach
Vigilants vs Atronach
Stormcloaks vs Thalmor
Bandits vs Mercenary
Hunter vs Bear
Bandits vs Giant
Giant vs Giant
Stormcloaks vs Ice Wraiths
Imperials vs Wolves
Warlock vs Warlock
Warlock and Skeletons
Bandits vs Merchant
Vigilants vs Vampire
Forsworns vs Sabre Cats
Vigilants vs Skeletons

These random encounters are added to the encounters Dragonstone already offers.
They are totally random though, and have a low probability of happening.
This is intentional, the thought behind it is to not overwhelm the player with modded encounters everywhere.
They are supposed to be organic, fit into the Skyrim world as being part of the game and happen very rarely.
This should create a pleasant surprise when/if the player encounters them.

I hope you enjoy this new version of Dragonstone as much as I enjoyed creating it.
