📋 About This Mod
Also available for consoles.
Description
Changes the outfits and classes of the quest givers and targets in The Dark Brotherhood Forever radiant quests.
ESL and ESP flagged ESL options are available, so it won't take up a plugin slot.
NPCs altered:
-
[]Blasphemous Priest - Given the monk/priest outfit, and the priest class. So now he seems like a priest.
[
]Dishonored Skald - Given the simple leather armor outfit, a lute, a steel sword, and the bard class. He's really a skald now.[]Visiting Noble - Given the fine clothes ("01") outfit with a hat, and the 1 handed warrior class. Fits his dagger.
[]Reckless Mage - Given the spellsword class. Seemed more fitting than a wizard, with his light armor.
[]Seasoned Hunter - Given the ranger class. Now he knows how to hunt.
[]Poor Fishwife - Given the beggar class. They're wearing the outfit of a beggar already, anyway.
[]Coldhearted Gravedigger - Given the citizen class. Gravediggers aren't really the warrior-y types.
[]Beautiful Barbarian - Given the scaled armor outfit without a helmet, and the barbarian class. Grug smash.
Compatibility
Incompatible with any mods that edit the same NPC records directly.
(At 300+ plugins and I've had 0 conflicts. Let me know if you see one, I'm actually kinda curious.)
Compatible with nearly everything else. When in doubt, check in SSEEdit for conflicts.
Compatible and recommended to use with Bald Astrid for Dark Brotherhood Ending, if you want another logic tweak.
Install & Uninstall
Install through your mod manager or drop into your data folder.
Existing saves won't have it take affect until the quest is completed/the NPC(s) despawn, to my knowledge. Haven't tested.
Uninstall by deleting from the mod in your mod manager or delete it from your data folder.
