About this mod

A port of sagittarius22's Black Horse Courier Reborn mod

Permissions and credits
My first time using creation kit, so I have no definite idea of what I'm doing. This is also my first upload. If anything in this mod is broken, I doubt I would be able to fix it, but I can try.

Back in the days of LE, one of my favorite mods was Black Horse Courier Reborn. Sadly, it was never ported into SE. I did this for myself, but decided that if anyone else loved this mod, then sure. Let them be able to use it.

I have not tested this for compatibility with other mods.

Sorry if text is small. I have no idea on how to fix that.

From the original mod page -

This mod reintroduces Oblivion's Black Horse Courier in Skyrim. 200 years after the event of the Oblivion Crisis, the company is back to
bring news to the inhabitants of Tamriel. The Black Horse Courier is now
unsupported by the Empire, and therefore is sadly not free anymore.

So, how does it work?

You will find reporters in some cities (particularly in taverns) in Skyrim. These reporters will sell you two types of papers:

  • Special Editions are quest-related. As you finish main quests, they will get reported in the Black Horse.
  • Normal Editions are procedurally-generated papers. Random sentences will be created. For example: "A [dragon type] has
    been [action] by [actor] near the city of [city name]. People of [city
    name] are [feelings] about this." This creates the opportunity for
    sometimes dramatic reports, or more humorous ones. The news related
    there are purely for roleplay purpose, but the last section, named
    "Jo'vassa's rumours and gossips", will give you some real tips, for
    example where to find word walls. The Black horse Courier will also
    report the death of some important NPC's and people who may or may not
    be involved in the death. For example, the Courier reported the
    disappearance of Katria... Sorry Katria, you will be remembered.
    Jo'vassa also gives you some tips for the gameplay. Won't spoil you the
    surprise!

If you don't want to buy the newspapers, you can choose to subscribe for 500 Septims. Just talk
to a reporter and tell him you wish to subscribe. A courier will deliver
them from time to time. Your subscription will expire after a month or
so; you will get a warning via the vanilla courier system when that
happens.

Also, when you read a newspaper, there is a small chance that it will increase your "Speechcraft" skill, just like skill books.
