Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I get rid of the quest items when Chasing the Current is complete? Yes, dump those letters from River.
• Do I need to start a new game when installing for the first time? You should be able to add this mod mid-save.
• Do I need to start a new game when installing 2.0, when I have 1.0? 100%.
• When the mod updates, can I still use the same save file? I have over 80 hours in! Yes, unless otherwise indicated. Like above.
• Where is Irin, and why did you choose that place instead of Akavir, for example? Think of Irin as just another place outside the Elder Scrolls universe. And why, because Kat and I just wanted to name a place. That's all. :)
• How come they comment on Skyrim quests that are in my journal but we're not in the location where I got the quest anymore? The intention is that they comment right when you reach particular stages of Skyrim quests. Example: If you've accepted the Golden Claw quest from Lucan from the Riverwood Trader, but you're letting the quest sit in your journal in that stage, then you will still hear "Perfect. We get to kill some bandits" from Katana when you load the game and you're all the way in Solitude.
• Why can they get summoned to most places? To consider modded setups. If you want to follow lore, don't summon them into Soul Cairn, for example. ;)
• Is Katana Asian? Mixed Asian, sure. I really just based her looks on myself.
• How'd Katana get her scar? Back in Irin, things got heated in a bar after her friend Shale riled up one of the crueler guild members (an assassin) with petty insults. That assassin's blade gave her the scar as she rushed in front of Shale.
• Why are the quest locations so far from each other? The main quest is not meant to be digested all at once.
• Can I make visual replacers? Of course, you can! Get that DP.
• Can I use the voices in your mod for AI? Absolutely not.
• What happens to Katana's regard system after I complete Chasing the Current and I did things that go against her values? She will still treat you like a friend since you were there for her, but certain commentary may not be there. 
• Why'd you get rid of the other body types? I don't want to troubleshoot potential issues with multiple body types anymore, sorry.
• Any plans for interactions? Likely not going to happen. 
• Can you please make Katana and Megara marriage candidates? Nope. They are in a relationship with each other, and not with the player.
• Can you port to insert platform here? Sorry, no! This means I'd need to strip the mod of its assets.
• Can I have/see Katana's rifle? Not by default. If you know your way around mods, you can do anything.
• Can I have Takiyo? Not by default. If you know your way around mods, you can do anything.
• How come Katana does not want to trade and stuff? Check out this trust document.
• I'm stuck, for some reason. Help? If Skyrim decided to act funny, please check this document for setstage console commands. Also, be mindful about hitting the button to advance dialogue too fast. Doing so may cause scripts to break, for anything Skyrim-related. 
• Final battle question:

  Why isn't River taking any damage? Because you need to kill Elli first.
