📋 About This Mod

Hey, fellas and gals, David here with a brand new Wintersun patch!

Today, we're covering Thieves Guild Alternative Endings aka TGAE by anbeegod.

If I had a dollar for every Wintersun patch I made by now, I'd have $10. Honest pay for honest work.

What this mod does

As usual, patches between quest overhauls and Wintersun take 2 minutes to make: go to the said quest record in SSEedit, copy with overwrite, drag a couple of Wintersun records that were overriden, save. Go the the main script that had a conflict, copy the three lines from Wintersun, place it in the same fragment from the quest overhaul variant of the script, compile. There you go, you just made a Wintersun patch.

But(t). I tend to take it a couple of steps further. I analyze (stop it) the quest. Sometimes make a quest map. I see where I would place the points of favor change. Consult with my spreadsheet of deity dispositions on what other deities would be affected.

With TGAE, it's Nocturnal. Surprisingly for a Daedra, she doesn't have that many strong enemies. So the only two foes this mod tracks are Stendarr and Ebonarm, these two fellas really don't care for them Daedric folk.

Okay, enough with the chit chat.With this mod installed, you will see the prompt to follow Nocturnal, as indended by Wintersun.

Also, you will get favor drops boosts from Nocturnal, Stendarr and Ebonarm depending on your choices at the end of the "Darkness Returns" quest.

Requirements

Well, it's Thieves Guild Alternative Endings and Wintersun, duh =)
