I can’t imagine why 🤔

Why did Game Freak remove this feature?

[nightfall093]

He knows 😂

Loaded up an old Skyrim file and he's looking at me like I did something WRONG. Why, Taliesin??

[nightfall093]

Happy birthday Skyrim, you dumbass game, you. ❤️

[nightfall093]

He’s so pretty 🥰

@dynamite124 day 276 of trying to convince Taliesin to sail back to the summerset isles and commit ✨patricide✨

[nightfall093]

Crazy Cat Mer Taliesin would like to battle!

Back into Pokemon at least for the time being… if Tally were a Pokemon trainer, what time would be his favourite? (I’m guessing Ice but could be wrong).

He wouldn't care much about Pokemon types, he'd only collect cat pokemon.

One of Taliesin's lines for when the player wants to hug him.

[nightfall093]

Interested in me, are you? 😘

Xelzaz Version 1.12.0 - The Dawnguard Update is now live!

Xelzaz Version 1.12.0 - The Dawnguard Update is now live on Nexus and Bethesda.net! Featuring commentary for the entire main quest of Dawnguard, new interactions with followers, new unique model for Xelzaz's Mind of Madness 'reward', Xelzaz's new unique daggers and even a new food item! The update adds over 600 new lines of dialogue! Here are the patch notes:

Xelzaz Version 1.12.0 - The Dawnguard Update

NOTICE: Any characters that are in the process of, or that have completed the Volkihar questline will have Xelzaz abandon them after updating or installing the mod. This will happen even if Xelzaz hasn't been recruited yet, Xelzaz will simply continue on to High Rock on his lonesome. If you wish to have Xelzaz along for the Volkihar questline, please bring him along when you are joining the Vampire Clan for the first time.

This update features commentary for the main quest for the Dawnguard expansion! Other additions include bug and typo fixes, more conversations with Xelzaz, interactions with other followers and new surprise content for players that are able to find it!

Bug Fixes and Typos

Fixed some typos.

Removed disruptive conditions from some dialogues.

Added a 10 minute timer failsafe for Xelzaz finding Varona that ends the scene should he have gotten stuck.

Moved scripts checking for quest stages of Thogra and Lucifer's (Nebarra interactions) quests to a new player alias, to prevent potential script spam from the game thinking Xelzaz is constantly changing locations.

Tweaked the timer on the script forcefully equipping Xelzaz's Scarf should he be wearing his default armor, to prevent him from equipping it during fast travel.

Sinderion's Journal will now be cleared from the list of aliases attached to the Crimson Nirnroot quest, allowing it to be dropped once it is no longer relevant. (This will not work retroactively.)

Added a check that Xelzaz is following in order for him to be able to handover Roovi and the Propylon to Malborn during the Main Quest.

Additions

Added new greet lines.

Added new goodbye lines.

Added a new conversation about master spells at the College of Winterhold.

Added a new conversation relating to Master Sul after reaching 100+ Relationship and having been told a certain story.

Added new unique daggers (Kukri) for Xelzaz.

Added a new unique model for Xelzaz's Banquet Fork, which now may also be used as a weapon. (In saves that already has Xelzaz with the fork, simply leave it in his inventory and greet him until he says "Hm?" and it should swap it to the new model/weapon.)

Added a new food for Xelzaz to cook: "Lava Foot Soup".

Interactions

Added new interactions with Remiel.

Added new interactions with Redcap.

Added new interactions with Lucifer.

Added new interactions with Nebarra.

Added new interactions with Thogra.

Troubleshooting

Added a line on the Roovi debug dialogue script to tell the player if Xelzaz is in a scene or not. (Translators will likely need to update this script: BPUF_TIF_05F1A5E1)

Quest Commentary

Added commentary for the Dawnguard Main Quest line.

Added (more) commentary for 'Discerning the Transmundane'. [See changes further down.]

Changes

Disabled asking Xelzaz to cast Healing Hands on an injured player if they are a vampire.

Gave Xelzaz his own unique version of 'Reanimate Corpse' with conditions preventing him from raising animals. This should stop him from raising fearsome chickens for battle. It will unfortunately also mean that every creature that has the keyword 'animal' will not be raised by Xelzaz, such as trolls and bears. (On existing saves you will need to go toggle this spell back on.)

Added a check to prevent Argonian players from spamming Jel greetings when meeting Xelzaz for the first time for disposition.

Made Xelzaz's comment about being given Frost Resistance increase his disposition towards the player.

Revoiced some old lines.

Altered the journal entry for 'A Lawman's Ambition' to encourage players to spend more time with Xelzaz prior to bringing him to the Hammerfell Gate.

Removed commentary on getting the (Dragon) Elder Scroll from Main Quest commentary. It is now instead located in the commentary for the quest 'Discerning the Transmundane'.

Made it so the persuasion check at the Hammerfell Gate will always succeed if the player has Telvanni Bug Musk applied (in case people have patches nerfing it.)

Altered line about 'Altmer eugenics' to 'Altmer traditions'.

Added a line to the bleedout scrips preventing Xelzaz or the followers he interacts with to comment on each other going down if they are already in a scene. (This was done to prevent, for example, Xelzaz from crying out about Khash being injured way after combat has ended, due to already being in a scene while combat was happening.)

Upon death or when permanently dismissed, Xelzaz's tracker will now be removed from the quest log.

Misc.

Migrated some of the Main Quest commentary to Discerning the Transmundane commentary.

Added failsafes to Remiel-Xelzaz-Redcap Winking Skeever scene

Xelzaz's Saltrice Noodle Bowl's meshes and textures were modified in order to allow the bowl to be reused for more unique foods. Thus the noodles have a new mesh path. This means you must update the AE plugin if you are using it.

Xelzaz AE Plugin 1.12.0

Compatibility

Changed the mesh path for Xelzaz's Saltrice Noodles.

Added hunger and warmth effect to Xelzaz’s Lava Foot Soup.

Fixes

Added Xelzaz's small treats (from Sweets and Such) to the AE treats formlist.

As a citizen of the grey and depressing UK, the urge to yell “LOK VAH KOR” at the sky is strong.

Sometimes when I'm playing Skyrim I just shout at the sky in worship of Kyne. Sorta like the Greybeards do.

[nightfall093]

Looking for a cuddle?

[nightfall093]

I made some palicos

[nightfall093]

He looks gorgeous 🥰

Now all we need is footage of him screaming in panic as the house burns down. 😁

[nightfall093]

So today on Skyrim:

Iorek gets stuck on a log while Caryalind and Taliesin team up to beat the shit out of Xelzaz for no apparent reason while Remi commentates on the latter’s condition on the sidelines.

All we did was kill a bear. ;_;

[nightfall093]

The struggle is real

[nightfall093]

He doesn’t like Stendarr’s Aura either, I’ve noticed 😆

I’ve never met anyone who hated the Candlelight spell more than Tally LOL

When most are smoll and he be tall, that light be burning his corneas.

[nightfall093]

Yeeeeay :3

Could we here more about your plans? :0c

At the moment, I'm working on a small update to add a tracking system for Taliesin in case you loose track of him and don't want to use his summon spell.

And to have the ability to hug him. Very important!

After that, I want to update his introduction quest - some things might get retconned as we iron out the wrinkles and get into implementing his personal quest. Maybe even find a way to change his clothes since many want him out of his robes.

Don't worry though, Taliesin will still be his grumpy, sassy self.

In short, I want the next update to be BIG.
