Translations:
French, by Ruonikenshin
Brynjolf and Vex are made-over and can be Recruited!
This mod also edits appearance of Tonilia (hair) and Sapphire. If you don't want that, remove in SSEEdit. Don't ask me to.Highlights:
New faces! Brynjolf and Vex made-over
Fully voiced, all vanilla voice
Recruit as Enhanced Followers
Marry if female (Brynjolf only)
His own horse, Angus (goes with the whole Scottish persona!). Vex's horse is named Sheiko (from Zelda-Link).
Default body mesh & texture, and face texture from your setup
"Let's have a chat" after TG03: Dampened Spirits
Let's talk about your outfit: Choose between...
- Nightingale (if TG08A: Trinity Restored is completed)
- Farm clothes, randomized no hat
- His regular Thieves armor
- Fine clothes, randomized no hat
Give him a gift: if you have any drinks, specific books, or daggers
Helmet toggle: Auto-unequips helmets when not in combat (default on)
Ask him to fight with you: does nothing, just fun lines. I don't know to actually do that.
What are you drinking?: Inns, randomized
What's that smirk for?: option to begins romance, see Romance below.
Brynjolf Gifts Player:
If you take him to your house, he'll give you a weapon, once.
Begin romance after TG03: Dampened Spirits
You can take him to a Player Home and have a drink together :)
Ask about marriage after completing TG09: Darkness Returns
Ask again after TGLeadership: Becoming Guildmaster
Go to Temple of Mara to get married. (New separate quest; vanilla marriage quests were not altered.)
Troubleshooting:
If you get stuck unable to move at the wrong time/place, cc "coc RiftenTempleofMara"
Vex, Delvin, Tonilia, and Karliah should go to the Temple and be witnesses, so hopefully it happens, if not... then it glitched and I can't help.
Recruiting:
Brynjolf can be recruited after TG09: Darkness Returns => return Skeleton Key to the Twilight Sepulchur.
This was done because if recruited the first time you're actually allowed to speak to him after TG03: Dampaned Spirits (most of his topics are by default Blocked due to ongoing Thieves quests), even if you could tell him "Follow me," he would not physically come with you, and if you Fast-Traveled with him he would just start walking away. I examined his AI packages to see what could still be overriding mine, but have not found a solution. Other Br
