📋 About This Mod
Created By:
Tested & Played using OpenMW
This mod reworks the Dark Brotherhood Assassin spawns to simulate them being hired and tracking the player. The first spawn is between 28-56 days, afterwards it's 21 days or less. (v1. 01)
The Alt version of this mod forces players to wait until they're level 3 or greater (including the tracking time) before the Dark Brotherhood Assassins will start to spawn.
This mod should simulate the amount of work and time needed before Helseth reasonably decides that the player is a threat and hires the Dark Brotherhood to go after and find us.
The Assassins themselves have not been edited for compatibility with other mods. Only the scripts mentioned below were edited out of the default files.
Morrowind & Tribunal
-The "db_assassinScript" has been further optimized for "fair randomization", looting and removing the corpse(s).
-Fixed the 2nd spawn timer to randomize the assassin spawns from between 4-21 days.
-I've edited the "db_assassinScript" to provide a bit of variety and randomization between each spawned assassin.
The assassin script is utilizing "DontSaveObject" and "setDelete 1" to minimize impact of save file size.
-Assassins are given 2 seperate abilities that fortifies each of the attributes from 0-15 or drains them from 0-10. Each ability is first fortified from 0-15 and then drained from 0-10.
Players have a 1/3 chance to successfully loot a spawned assassin's corpse.
-The "dbattackScript" has been edited to provide the experience mentioned in this mod's summary.
-The "dbattackScriptOLD" has a new line added to the top that forces it to stop running.
