MWSE Dark Brotherhood Delayed

This is a lightweight MWSE-Lua script that reworks the conditions for Dark Brotherhood assassin attacks. Instead of stalking you from day one, attacks are now tied to your progress in the main quest and the Tribunal expansion.

Description:

• []Story-Based Timing: Assassins will not bother you until you have reached a significant point in the story. Attacks begin only after:[/]

   - The Archcanon is ready to see you (B8_MeetVivec 5).

- OR you have defeated Dagoth Ur (C3_DestroyDagoth 50).

• []Logical Conclusion: The hunt ends naturally once you start working for King Helseth's confidant, Tienius Delitian (TR05_People 1), or if you survive all waves as per original mechanics.[/]

  []Assassins usually spawn behind the player. I’ve tried to prevent them from getting stuck in textures, which is especially important indoors. Please try to leave some open space behind you before resting to avoid issues.[/]

  []Blocks the original "dbattackScript".[/]

  Original Mechanics Preserved:

The mod respects the vanilla leveling and difficulty system. According to the game, assassins of varying skill levels appear depending on your level. The difficulty increases at character levels 4, 10, 20, and 30. Starting from difficulty level 4, if this is not the first attack during the playthrough, you will be attacked in pairs.

The chance of attacks decreases with each attack, eventually reaching zero. The maximum number increases with each difficulty level, but there can be up to nine in total per playthrough.

  Localization / Translation:

The mod includes support for 7 languages (English, Russian, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Polish). Since the "waking up" message was originally hardcoded, it is now handled via the i18n system.

If you find a translation error or want to improve the phrasing for your language:

• []Open the i18n folder in the mod directory.[/]

  []Find the .lua file for your language (e.g., eng.lua or deu.lua).[/]

  []Edit the single line containing the wake-up message.[/]

  []Please let me know! Send me a PM on Nexus or leave a comment so I can update the mod with your correction.[/]
