📋 About This Mod
Name: Dairânath Avari - male romance companion Author: Mondstein Version: 2. 3 Date: 2. December 2010 Category: Companions other This is the Read Me ===================== Dairânath suffered. How long he didn\'t know, but he wished that this would find an end. His body was dead and his soul trapped within like a bird in a cage. He couldn\'t breath, couldn\'t move, the only thing he could do was wait, wait until someone delivered him from this torment. Remembering his death, he felt the pain again, rushing like icy fire through his body. A scream wanted to erupt from his mouth, but his lips decided not to move. He knew that Da\'iass, the dragon god he had worshiped was near, watching him silently, delighted to see his agony. \"I know you want it.\" Da\'iass stated. \"You want to be alive again. I can feel it, your soul is calling out to me.\" It was the truth, he felt it deep inside. \"I am here to grant you this wish.\" Da\'iass whispered against his mouth. \"Once you failed, but this time it will be different. I\'ll make sure of that.\" NEW IN VERSION 2. 3 ================== - Finally fixed the bug with the cats. But be cautious: If the previous version you used as you got Belle (without collar) is Version 2. 1, then you have to use a old save of the time before you gave a name to the cat otherwise the game will crash while fast traveling. If you used Version 2. 2 as you got Belle (without collar) then make sure you never did disable the cat (maybe she was there after fast traveling) otherwise you will get a CTD while fast traveling. In version 2. 3 the AI of the cats is reworked (the cat has now a wander package that is used in the Holding Cell) and therefore I don\'t need to disable the cat anymore in the Holding Cell. Result: CTD\'s are gone ... - I added a few greeting lines to Dai for the romance stages, if you decide to run around naked in the great wide open. - I splitted the downloadable files into a file that contains the meshes (alternate meshes without piercings are included; install them (say \"yes\", if asked to overwrite), if you don\'t like his piercings), the textures and the sound folders and one that contains two .esp\'s (one named Dairanath Avari - male companion, the other one named Dairânath Avari - male companion; install the one the game recognizes ... some localizations have problems to recognize the \"â\"). NEW IN VERSION 2. 2 ================== The reported bugs are fixed! - No more evil double face bug. - Sigil Gate script works properly now. He will be teleported to you, when you are back in Tamriel. - His disposition changes now slightly (from 45 to 55 ... I don\'t like him grinning even with the fix) the further you get in his quest. - Belle does not crash the game anymore when fast traveling (but you have to use an old save (with version 2. 1) before Belle (without collar) joined your party otherwise the game will still crash on fast traveling). - Y
