"Well, good morning, Sunshine" got me acting UNWISE

Paul is very good at acting (⁠｡⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧ Thanks for the support!

Hi There! Sorry to bother you with this little question but: is this version of Kaidan Male Player friendly?

Absolutely -- Kaidan can be played by a male player platonically or romantically with no problems.

[kaidanworkshop]

Thank you for the early Christmas gift! I've been looking forward to the Worshop's release of our favorite Akaviri! <3

Our staff has been able to (mostly) relax and enjoy their end of year holidays, and we were thrilled to be able to get it out before the end of 2024!

Hope you'll continue to support us into the new year!

Hi team! First of all, let me say THANK YOU for doing this mod. I’ve only been playing Skyrim for a month and loved the original Kaidan mod�� but having heard some of the stuff re: the other team, I’m kinda squicked out now. I was initially worried about how you guys could do this justice, but I have to say, you’ve soothed any worries and the new VA is AWESOME! I swooned watching the trailer lmao. That being said, I do have a couple of questions?

1. I know you said Lucien’s lines aren’t involved, but have you managed to do anything with Inigo? 🥺 I loved how they interacted before, but I completely understand if you haven’t as I haven’t seen an update for Inigo in some time.

2. Are there any plans to integrate a family patch for Kaidan? I believe the AiO team were going to work on something like that, and I really liked the idea. No worries if not, it’s not a deal breaker.

But yeah! Sorry for the long ask. You guys are doing incredible work and your honesty and transparency (especially around budgeting, betas, and discord announcements!) is incredible! I wish you all the best ❤️

Thank you for the kind words! To answer your questions: 1. The KR:CE 1.0 only has interactions with Serana at this time -- with regards to Inigo specifically, their mod author is currently unavailable to do interactions as they are focused on development. There is a pack of lines available for modders to use to splice together dialogue (as is the case for the existing Kaidan-Inigo banter pack), but obviously, that means the conversations are very limited. Therefore, he's much further down on our priority list for CVF interactions. 2. In all honesty, no one on our staff knew what you meant by a 'family patch', and Google was also not helpful (lmao), so we're going to say no, we don't have any plans for that content. We have a future plans tab on our Nexus page, as well as our Discord.

Workshop Update: Kaidan Revoiced - Community Expansion 1.0 Launch!

After two years of development, the Kaidan Workshop Staff is proud to present Kaidan Revoiced - Community Expansion (KRCE)!

First and foremost, none of this would be possible without livtempleton graciously giving us permission for our project! Throughout the years, the assets she's allowed the Skyrim modding community to build upon has kept Kaidan alive in thousands of modlists, providing the opportunity for even more players to enjoy her original creations; we're very honored to be added to the list of modders whose creations are inspired by her work. When we started the Workshop, we had no idea if anyone would even notice our project; a new voice actor, a new iteration of an already established character, and no product to show for it in advance. The only thing we could offer the general public at the time was the promise of transparency and community cooperation throughout the process. So we created a budget for revoicing Kaidan, a plan for community involvement, and hit the ground running. We added new staff, taught ourselves new skills as the scope of the project evolved, and leaned on the advice, ideas, and encouragement from our community. Alongside the (mostly) monthly updates on our Tumblr and taking suggestions from our 'I Had An Idea!' Discord channel, our methods for ensuring transparency during development evolved; our Community Team began hosting public meetings via our Discord to discuss our current workflow, answer questions, and conduct live script readings of our original scripts, to ensure that our Writing Team was matching the original tone set by livtempleton. We also streamed our beta footage on Twitch, trying our best to stress test the new framework built by our Creation Kit Team while also taking more suggestions from our audience for future content. Finally, we were incredibly pleased to be able to host an Open Beta for KRCE this past October & November for our Discord community, as a special thank you for their support. We were able to get some excellent feedback on some of our new follower features, as well as hunt down any missed audio or errors our internal testing missed. All in all, it took many, many people to bring this mod to life, and our Staff is incredibly humbled and grateful for the support of everyone involved. While this 1.0 version will be available indefinitely for those who prefer it, the Workshop Staff is very excited to begin creating more original content moving forward into 2025! One of our original scripts for the Daedric quest "Pieces of the Past" is in the 1.0, so you can check it out to get a sense of the tone our writers are going for! You can read about what content is present in our mod, as well as find the answers to commonly asked questions in the KRCE Mod FAQ. Keep up with the project via our updates on Tumblr, or join our Discord server!

The Kaidan Workshop is a community-led, non-profit project that aims to build upon the original LivTempleton Kaidan 2 mod. Our project is strictly non-profit; all funds raised are to commission Mr. Warren for his services. You can read more about what the Kaidan Workshop is here.

Workshop Update: November 2024

The Kaidan Revoiced: Community Expansion Open Beta has officially concluded! From the entire Workshop staff, thank you to all of the participants!

[kaidanworkshop]

Hi there!! I hope you're all well. I was a member of the discord server a while back and recently noticed that I was just... not in the server anymore? I'm not a big discord user, but I joined again, and it says I cannot see the chat history in many of the chats. Is there something I need to do to see the chat? Should I send staff a message? I didn't want to bother anyone with this, but I just want to make sure I didn't do anything wrong haha. Thank you and take care!

Howdy! Check out this ask.

[kaidanworkshop]

Workshop Update: Open Beta Is Live!

It's finally here Spectators! Our Open Beta is officially live! You can find out all the details (as well as the download links) on our Discord server. We can't thank all of you enough for believing in our vision for Kaidan and helping us see it through. With your help, we can chase down any last minute bugs before we release on Nexus!

[kaidanworkshop]

Hey it’s Uh Time?

It is.

[kaidanworkshop]

Hey all! I hope you're all doing well, thanks so much for all the hard work you've done. I jumped on the bandwagon late, I actually only dove back into Skyrim after a lengthy break and stumbled upon Kaidan a few weeks ago. I've been reading up on everything you all have done and it's amazing. I did try to jump in on Discord to join in on Friday but I didn't have permission to attend. All this to ask, will the beta be available to all or is it exclusive to specific discord members? I'm happy to wait for a finalized product! Just thought it might be fun to help out in the only way I could.

Howdy! If you didn't have access to our Discord, your name probably appears in white -- you still need to read and agree to the rules by hitting the dragon emoji in the #rules section (your name should turn red or orange!) As per rule nine in our server ("This project retains the rights to its scripts and its previewed content") and out of an abundance of concern for our content in development, we've decided to host the open beta through our Discord server. It allows us to centralize our debugging efforts and feedback we receive from our testers. Feel free to message us privately if you still need assistance getting access to the rest of the server! And thank you for the kind words!

[kaidanworkshop]

is the open beta going to be on nexus mods? Or is there somewhere else we have to go to access it?

Please refer to our most recent post!

[kaidanworkshop]

According to the results of the poll so far most people are wanting to wait for the completion of new lines before release. Was curious if you all had considered a public beta for those of us who are impatient and want to play workshop Kaidan now or as soon as possible completed or not. I just really miss having Kaidan in my game ok. 😂

We've been sitting on this ask for MONTHS because we wanted to do a surprise open beta. Super duper sorry about that, but hey, surprise! Sincerely, The Workshop Staff

Workshop Update: Open Beta Announcement!

Happy Spooky Month Spectators! We've got important information to cover, so let's jump right into it.

During our [REDACTED] event on Friday, we announced our upcoming Open Beta! Open to members of our Discord server, we will be shadow dropping a link to the beta version of KR:CE sometime in the next two weeks. We are seeking the help of the community to track down any mod incompatibilities or bugs, so we can get them ironed out before our release on Nexus.

To prepare yourself and your mod lists, you can refer to our updated KR:CE Mod FAQ, as well as our new Beta Tester Guide.

Next, we are recruiting new staff members for our CK & Assets Team and our Community Team!

As our community continues to grow, having more staff will help us better meet the needs of the Spectators, as well as help speed up production times for KR:CE post-launch. You can apply here.

Finally, we have commissioned two Spectator artists to help create material for the KR:CE Nexus mod page, but we are also seeking a graphic artist with experience in web page design. We will be posting an official commission request for our Art Volunteer community later this week.

We thank you so much for your continued patience and cooperation. With your help, we can make the public launch of Kaidan Revoiced: Community Expansion a smooth success!
