📋 About This Mod

TLDR: Additional dialogue choices, new lines and more exposition with Kesh, Peryite and Orchendor

  • []Orchendor is no longer a "default baddy". He now has fitting combat lines and even explains his motives for betraying Peryite if you let him.

    []Possibility of getting rid of the Afflicted and completing the quest without having to "cavort with Daedra".

    []Option to destroy Peryite's altar, before or after summoning him, with different outcomes. Say no to daedra, children!

    []If "cavorting" with Peryite, you will have more choices, including accepting Spellbreaker or not.

    More detailed changes:

    • []COMPLETELY VOICED: Every option explained here comes with new voiced lines made off vanilla spliced lines.

      []VANILLA PATH AVAILABLE: The vanilla path for this quest is still there, it's just expanded and improved with more options.

      []ATTACK KESH: After learning that Kesh is worshipping Peryite, you have a new dialogue option to start combat with him.

      []KESH'S JOURNAL: Kesh is now carrying a journal explaining his motives and what's going on at Bthardamz (Can be looted or pickpocketed)

      []NO CAVORTING! Summoning Peryite isn't necessary anymore to complete the quest. After reading the journal, your character learns of a "brewing plague" at Bthardamz and can decide to go stop it without talking to any daedric prince.

      []I'M NOT YOUR PUPPET: If you decide to summon Peryite, you will have new dialogue options:

     1. Agree to do his bidding, vanilla style

    2. Say you will clear Bthardamz but only because it's the right thing to do

    3. Tell Peryite to fuck off find himself another mortal and fail the quest

    • []ORCHENDOR HAS A PERSONALITY: Orchendor, who in vanilla is just a default enemy that automatically goes aggro, now has a conversation section before the combat, where he will explain his motives and question you about yours. I've also added unique combat lines to this boss battle to make it more unique. He's a bit crazy, but what did you expect from a Peryite worshipper anyway!

      []OPTIONS, OPTIONS, OPTIONS... If you did NOT summon Peryite before kiling Orchendor, you can either still summon him (to get your reward or simply to have a chat) OR you can destroy his altar. If you know you don't want to have a chat with our friend Peryite, you can save yourself a trip by destroying the altar when you first encounter it.

    • SHINY SHIELD... If you decide to talk to Peryite after Orchendor is dead, you will have new dialogue options regarding the reward:

     1. Happily accept Spellbreaker. Peryite will be pleased.
