Version 1.0.4
- General
- - This is a focus of improvements to Elana across the board with a new feature or two.
- - For those making addons to her, you'll need to sync up her base actor record. One perk and one spell was added.
- - In inventory, her imbued gems are just shorted to "Gem" (instead of Imbued Gem) and have their designation in parenthesis after the object, so that you can make sure you only have one of each type (Healing, Damage, Protection, Summon).
- - Touched up her makeup slightly to give it more emphasis.
- - Increased Elana's Relationship "Points" required to get to max relationship to 700 (to be in line with my other offerings). Doesn't affect anything if you're maxed out with her, otherwise will increase your current range slightly. There are more ways to acquire relationship with the addition of Forbidden Knowledge, below.
- - At the end of the Intro Quest, the player has the choice of recruiting her (if there's room in the party) or telling her you have some other things to finish up (or that you have no room if you are full). She will always mention she stays in Riften, no matter what you choose.
- - All of her quests now complete all objectives, if any, when finished.
- Combat
- - Elana has minimum level of 5 (down from 8).
- - She now works in medium/long (versus far) range. Her Darkbolt spell now has a significantly smaller range (4096 units), which keeps her a bit closer to the player and to targets.
- - Darkbolt's Magic Resistance debuff is now resisted versus fire and it's debuff is reduced to 7 Magic Resistance, but can stack within a 4 second window if the target is hit again with Darkbolt.
- - She now has a baseline spell, Essence Leech, that does damage similar to flames but can absorb magicka. Magicka cannot be aborbed from constructs. Has custom effect nif. This does identical damage to flames but also drains 6 Magicka.
- - Deadly Vermin's effects tweaked so that friendly fire towards guards and bystanders should have a lower chance to cause chaos.
- - All hostile spells either require Elana to be a teammate and the opponent hostile to the player OR Elana isn't a teammate. Hopefully this will reduce bystander aggression.
- - Darkbolt requires Destruction skill 25 and Nether Cloak requires 40 (up by 5). She will always use Essence Leech. This should be less OP for low level characters hitting Bleak Falls. Doesn't affect spells based on Formulas.
- - Elana's spell rollout from formulas is now solely script driven. She still has the spells but doesn't physically cast them. This keeps her from overwriting strong spells causing weird casting loops if more than one gem or valid materials are in her satchel.
- - Her spell rollout is now cached to a 4-item array, using the best spell in each category. This is significantly faster. Cache is built on game load, opening her satchel or finding new formulas.
- - Many of her spell effects have had their appearance touched up. Spells are now cast with purple-blue light in hands. Deadly Vermin cause purple explosions.
- - Optimized and improved combat scripting.
- Quests
- - Elana's Intro quest can now be completed if Bleak Falls Barrow is completely changed or you're using a container overhaul that changes them. If the urn (containing the soul gem) or the first chest (containing the rabbit legs) doesn't exist, those items are instead spawned in the boss chest. The boss chest uses a chest based on the chest found in the dungeon.
- - Intro Quest all items are separate objectives. This is more streamlined.
- - Intro Quest, the formula now goes into Elana's inventory.
- Formulas and Encounters
- - Valid formula locations are now added to a "visited" list as the player enters those locations. This should keep formulas from randomly seeding where they weren't present before within a short timeframe. The visited list now holds up to 200 locations. This is not anti-cheese as much as removing erratic behavior of leaving an area then returning shortly later to have a formula just pop-up.
- - Necromancer spawns changed for lower level players. There is a 40% chance they will spawn. This is a minimum of 2 with a 50% chance of 1 additional if the player is higher than level 9, 50% chance of 1 additional if higher than 14 and 50% chance of 1 additional of higher than 19.
- - Necromancers no longer have armor spell nor boost to frost damage and are 90% of the player's level. This should make them a bit easier to handle. They no longer follow the player outside of interiors, if possible.
- - There is an option under the behavior sub menu for toggling off Necromancer spawns, if they are interfering with your game.
- Dialogue and Idles
- - Many combat and miscellaneous lines are given cooldowns to reduce repetitiveness.
- - Idles are all now given a slight percent chance so that they are randomized more. Flirty and romantic lines are have the chance of normal lines.
- - Added several new dungeon idle lines.
- - Huge overhaul on the more generic lines to give them more of Elana's colorful flair and style. Interacting with her should feel freshened up.
- - Added dozens of new combat lines.
- - Reduced chance and added timeout to some combat lines. Rattling them off too much.
- - (+) indicators removed from topics and instead descriptive words are used, such as (Quest) or (Features).
- - Restructured dialogue options so almost everything shows under her Talk (Features) menu. Opening her Satchel is now inside this menu. Wear inventory is now under an Appearance sub menu. There is also a Behavior sub menu for more set and forget options.
- - "How are you doing? Any thoughts?" now shows on the main dialogue for Elana if it is actively ready (it has a cooldown) or your relationship rank is less than 3 with her. After max relationship with her, it disappears.
- - "I'm not sure about searching for all of these ingredients." or the "cheat mode" is now on the main dialogue and you can opt in or out. I think this makes it more obvious for those new to playing with Elana that if hunting for ingredients isn't your cuppa, you can turn it off. Once it is used, it disappears from the main dialogue.
- Feature, Wigs and Jewelry
- - You can now give her wigs and jewelry that have their own separate containers. She will periodically change into multiple wigs or jewelry. She can offer to add some wigs she likes first time you talk to her about the wigs. You can use any wigs or jewelry from other mods.
- Feature, Forbidden Knowledge
- - Elana now has a Forbidden Knowledge that opens once you help her discover at least 6 formulas. She accrues Knowledge Points by finding Tomes of Dark Secrets on defeated enemies and when she experiments at an alchemy station. Both situations give her 1-4 points. This was created to give her long-term progression even when completing her initial content. She receives a small amount of relationship points in either situation.
- - Elana will hint at this via an idle comment when she reaches 6 formulas.
- - Tomes can be looted from enemies defeated by the player, Elana or any teammates. Usually valid enemies must be decent with Destruction, Alteration or Conjuration magic but there is a chance it can drop from any humanoid. If a slain opponent has a Dark Secrets Tome, their body will glow with purple wisps. There is a rolling chance of Tomes dropping, starting at 15%, with a timeout between drops.
- - When you have acquired one or more Tomes, on the main dialogue you can give them all to her. Trade dialogue doesn't apply here and it's signifcantly faster to use this option. Once used, they become "read" and can be sold for gold. She will comment about it when you exit the dialogue.
- - For every 3 points in Forbidden Knowledge she acquires, her Knowledge Rank increases by 1 (starts at 0). Each Rank influences any of her spells or fire spells by increasing Magnitude and Duration by 0.5%. For example 30 Ranks would give her a bonus +15%. It would take 100 Ranks to get a significant bonus of +50%. Elana has a Max Rank of 250.
- - Ranks also improve summons in stats along with duration, with the exception being the Deady Vermin. Stats are increased 3 points per Rank.
- - The obsolete "Infamy" Actor Value is used for Elana to track this and to provide a perk calculation for the bonus.
- - You can view all of her Forbidden Knowledge statistics by talking to her.
- Fixes
- - When activated, Easy Mode for Gems now removes all non gems from her satchel and puts them in her inventory, leaving only gems.
- - Fixed an issue where not immediately taking Elana then trying to recruit her afterwords would fail on the first time.
-
Version 1.0.3
- - Missing hair textures now pathed correctly for enemy NPCs.
- - Picking up a formula should complete optional Formula objective in the miscellaneous section and complete the running quest.
- - Whispering Shroud no longer accidentally activates Corpse Healing.
- - Formulas no longer drop if Elana is not a teammate (follower). This prevents an annoyance if setting aside Elana for later in your playthrough.
- - Formula drops have a one-hour timeout before respawning.
- - Necromancer attacks are now randomly occurring (25% chance) when nearing a dungeon that contains a formula. Only 3 Necromancers spawn baseline, chance of 4 if player is level 15+, chance of 5 if player is 20+.
- - Enemies now scale to 100% of player's level (was 110%) and minimum level 1 (was 8).
-
Version 1.0.2
- Fixes:
- - Elana can now deliver idle lines while doing her introductory quest.
- - Idle and looting lines now require her to be a teammate.
- - Reworked the looting lines backend system and fixed a couple of bugs.
- - Fixed a handful of idle lines missing cooldowns.
- - Blocked Elana commenting on purchased items.
- - Added object bounds to the staff in the event this might cause an issue with other mods.
- - Corrected issue with Elana variable getting stuck causing her to not update worn items, create potions or buy ingredients.
- - Elana no longer contratulates the player twice if leveling up, if NFF is installed.
- Settings (Talk Menu):
- - You can now set idle frequency to never, if you wish (toggles from frequent to normal to rare to never).
- - You can now toggle on or off player looted lines.
- Installation:
- - Installer now installs Elana as an esp, esl-flagged file with no esm flag. This may fix some issues with the file causing a CTD for some players. The mod doesn't have anything to do with reference handle limits, so should be fine. There should be no issue with changing this in existing game (I have been testing this situation with no issue so far). However, I will also have an esm version in miscellaneous downloads if there is one.
- Interaction:
- - Elana can now comment if the player picks up valuable items (over 100 gold in value).
- - Several janky lines reworked.
- - Elana and Seraphina have reduced chance of Attack, Taunt, Enter and Exit Combat lines and all have cooldowns.
- - Several combat lines have cooldowns.
- - Lowered Relationship gain by around 25% overall so progression is a bit slower.
- - All dialogue that has to do with setting mod options are now in a sub menu, "I'd like to change some things.". This area just had too much clutter.
- - The dialogue option "I'd like you to use the staff to imbue some ingredients." has been changed to "I'd like you to convert ingredients to an imbued gem."
- Changes:
- - Using the Skeleton Horde has a chance to summon Pee-Wee Vermit as one of the crew. He is smaller than the others and fights with a giant bone (funny bone?) that can cause chaos damage. A little tribute to Paul Rubens.
- - Loot lines are far less likely to be said at the same time as other Nether's followers.
- - When asking Elana to wait, tracking quest is set active (only works if Miscellaneous is also active).
- - When entering a location with a formula, the formula is tracked with a quest marker (Miscellanous quest). It is active if you have Misc section active.
- - The cheat mode, where you can learn all spells instead of having to track down ingredients, can now be activated at any time and is called Easy Mode. Previously, it could only be done when you found all formulas. Though you can still do it after finding all formulas, you can ask her to do this at any time. This option now adds a gem to her chest when finding each formula, bypassing the need to track down materials. Furthermore, when you first activate this feature, it will give you all gems that you do not have for formulas you have already found.
- - You can now turn off Elana's Essential flag, making her killable. She starts off as Essential and you can turn if off after helping her with her intro. If updating this mod in an existing game, to get Essential/Non-Essential feature to work, you will need to target her in the work in console and type: resurrect to refresh this setting since it's baked-in from the base.
- - Corpse Healing reworked. Much more accurate to find bodies and heal allies.
- - Halved Seraphina's chance to paralyze.
- Quest Content:
- - When with Elana and retrieving formulas from a dungeon, there is a chance that rival necromancers will also be in the dungeon. They appear in groups of 3-5 and will seek you out. They should clean just like the formula system if you move from a dungeon to another or change your mind. Once you find all formulas, you will no longer encounter these rivals.
- - When traveling around Skyrim or Solstheim and Elana is in your crew, there is a chance that Mages from the College and hired Mage Hunters will be encountered in wilderness areas near roads. They really want that staff back! They can appear in groups of 3-5 and may be slightly challenging.
- - When you have discovered 4 or more formulas, you can be also encountered by Mage Hunters that are seeking to recover the stolen staff that Elana carries. Defeating the leader will start a quest, called Unstaffed, that allows you to help resolve this issue. This encounter tends to occur more often along the roads of Skyrim, where normal random encounters occur.
-
Version 1.0.1
- Changes:
- - Corpse Healing is no longer spammy. Can detect up to 3 dead bodies in range that can each heal a hurt ally for 90 Health. Should not heal the same ally twice within 5 seconds. Dead bodies cannot heal again if they have already been "tapped" (uses "Has Been Eaten" game variable).
- - Corpse Healed target can now say "Healed by Magic" comments.
- - Skeleton Horde skeletons now do 20% more melee damage.
- - FOMOD now points to Nexus mod page.
- - Potion changes: Bewitching Bat's Brew lasts 60 seconds. Detect the Dead lasts 60 seconds. Skyclad Potion lasts 30 seconds. Creature summons are a bit stronger (40% of level, somewhat higher health).
- - Dispel and Bunny explosions no longer have Force, just in case.
- - Vermin hostile check changed to hostile versus player OR hostile versus Elana (specifically).
- - Elana now has some extra Friendly Fire protection. Uses OnHit/OnCast events with State to prevent spam, 3 second cooldown for checks. This should help to resolve friendly fire or neutral fire situations. Can be turned off or on in her Talk menu (it is on by default). Once switching between on or off, might take a combat event to fully go into affect (within 3 seconds).
- - Elana's core single-summon minions now have Friendly Fire protection. Uses OnHit/OnCast events with State to prevent spam, 3 second cooldown for checks. Can be turned off or on in her Talk menu (it is on by default).
- - All of Elana's damaging effects require hostility to Elana (specifically) or the Player.
- - Elana corrected to spend time in Mistview Keep, any day, from 6 pm at night until 2 am. At Haelga's from 2 am until 8 am. Then randomly wanders the market area in Riften otherwise. No, she doesn't get enough sleep. To prevent alteration of Actor record, Haelga package added to controller alias, only if not teammate, not current follower faction.
- Fixes:
- - EFF install option is now separate from Vanilla. Also will install an esp (esl-flagged) to allow recruitment to work properly under EFF.
- - Added missing brow texture for Seraphina.
- - Marriage now offers the option "Move into spouse's house" to prevent permanent dialogue block. It actually doesn't really have any effect since Elana doesn't own a house but otherwise, it's too many conditions to remove the block (well over 20 and it won't work for those without AE installed, so let's just not worry about it for now).
- - Corrected multiple cold weather idle lines that were rapidly firing.
-
Version 1.0
- Initial 1.0 Release. ESL Flagged. BSA for most files.
