Flashy(JoeR) - Sometimes They Leave

Starfield Stories Vol. 1 - Sometimes, They Leave

Do you remember your first time reaching the Unity, talking to yourself, seeing representation of some of your major achievements? Pretty cool moment, to be sure. And then taking those wondrous steps forwards, urging yourself through the Unity, wondering if everyone on your ship was making the same move, heading to their own Universe.

Except, that illusion of wonder got shattered the very first time you decided to turn around and go back to your current Universe and found everyone still there, citing they weren't ready to go yet. Every single one of them. Every single time. As a narrative thread, I could suspend disbelief on the prime universe. But in every single subsequent one? Where any and every variation could be at play? No...

This mod changes that. Now... sometimes, they leave.

How It Works:

This is very much a "fire and forget" type of mod. It sits latent in your load order until you hit MQ305, entered the Unity interior cell, and start talking to your other self. At that time, it does some script magic to determine who among your active crew on your ship, if anyone, decides to go through the Unity.

This is NOT just a "text message" to give you some head canon variability, to have some conclusion to your current universe's narrative! If you opt to back out of the Unity and return to your ship after talking to yourself, you will very much find those crew members are no longer available (until your next Universe).

For clarity, to keep it small in script size and resource requirement, the mod will only handle a maximum of three crew members to go through Unity.

The mod will only fire once per Universe. If you go to Unity and noone else goes through, thats it. If you have some that do go through, but you decide not to at that time, upon your return, this mod will not fire again. If will require reset through NG+ to continue to do what it does.

Seriously, aside from maybe closing off the remaining Constellation member's personal quests, you won't notice the missing crew.

As I said, its largely a mod for RP purposes, to add some actual variability to the whole scenario.

So, who can leave?

Aside from the remaining members of Constellation, all of the base game and DLC named crew members are valid options, with the exception of the Adoring Fan - I mean, do we REALLY want to subject TWO of him to a single Universe? That would be unconscionable! 🤣

What About Mod-Added Companions / Crew?

Mod added companions will not be affected by this, out of the box. But they cou
