#I have to finish it first lmao

[moonnen]

So I’m playing through Vigilant for the first time and I have so many thoughts. I stayed up till like 3 playing it last night and I’m currently at work on a break so I’ll give a small summary of my thoughts.

Spoilers for Vigilant ( Skyrim mod )

Keep in mind I’ve only gotten through Act 3 and I’m at the beginning of act 4 barely even started because I told myself I had to go to bed last night. I’m not gonna break every act down into massive paragraphs I just want to summarize my thoughts on a first play.

ALSO keep in mind I’m playing alongside with Gore and Auri as they both have Vigilant commentary!

First and foremost Vigilant is fucking incredible.

Besides maybe the first couple of quests in act 1 the writing is impeccable. Not that those first quests are bad but they aren’t great. It’s a bit jumpy and mostly a “go here do this kill this thing okay move on.”

So act 1 in the beginning eh.

BUT BITCH

The end of act 1 is FUCKIN CRAZY.

As someone who adores and loves the dark souls series the feeling this mod gave me was almost exact to how the trilogy of souls games made me feel. For a Skyrim mod that’s fuckin insane.

Granted I am running lots of combat mods so things are more fluid then they may usually be, I would say some combat mods are necessary. Like a dodge mod and maybe some animations. Vanilla combat would make this experience pretty lack luster in my opinion. The bosses themselves are incredibly well made. Down to the design, the music, the arenas. Again it gave me the feeling of a souls like!

AND GIRL I HAVENT EVEN FINISHED THE MOD!

There are some triggering themes. Please keep this in mind if you are also considering playing vigilant. It through me for a loop when playing it and I had a little cry sesh after. I do think they are handle in a subtle and respectful way however. Take care of yourself first 🩷

Not to even mention the MASTERPIECE that is GoreDevs work on Gores commentary for this quest line. It is beyond phenomenal! The work he put in is truly incredible and getting to act 4 with Gore was a wild ride not only because ya know vigilant but also GORE!

Overall I’m loving vigilant and I’ll give my full and final thoughts when I finish it. As I’m writing this I am now back home and about to hop back in! Yippie!!!!

Sequel to this

[jinxed-sinner]

Since I’ve already made it abundantly clear that Lucifer’s touch-starved as fuck in To Preen An Angel’s Wings I need to add a scene at some point after his and Alastor’s deal is done and Alastor’s healed where Lucifer’s just feeling really down so he shapeshifts into a cat in an attempt to cuddle Alastor again (still completely oblivious to his own romantic feelings, but realizing at this point that Alastor his acknowledged some level of platonic care for him). Since Lucifer’s shapeshifting doesn’t change his appearance drastically there’s an exchange that goes something like this:

Lucifer, in his cat form: *curls up on Alastor’s lap, purring*

Alastor, knowing it’s Lucifer by his markings: Lucifer, I know it’s you. Get off of me.

Lucifer: *starts kneading Alastor’s thigh*

*Alastor’s ears lower, but he just accepts his fate despite his instinct being to throw Lucifer across the hotel lobby*

I think this could just be an entire chapter immediately following their deal being done where Lucifer’s just trying to get Alastor to acknowledge that yes, he cares, yes, they genuinely bonded while over the duration of the deal, and yes, Alastor cares enough to help Lucifer deal with severe touch-starvation, even if Lucifer has to be shapeshifted into an animal for Alastor to be genuinely comfortable with it. I also think it’d be funny if they experiment with what species makes Alastor most comfortable.

Lucifer, shifted into a deer: What about a deer?

Alastor: You realize I eat raw deer for breakfast?

Lucifer, shifting into a dog: What about a dog? Dogs are therapeutic, so it might be therapeutic for you too!

Alastor, visibly shaking: I think I’d rather die a second time.

Lucifer, shifting into a cat: Okay, a cat then? Cats increase humans’ lifespans, and their purring has healing abilities!

Alastor: Not that I care but I doubt Husk would be happy about it.

Lucifer, shifting into a goat and visibly annoyed at this point: What about a goat, the classic devil’s animal?

Alastor: Actually, I think I prefer the deer.

Lucifer: YOU IMPLICITLY THREATENED TO EAT ME IF I SHIFTED INTO A DEER

They do decide on a deer because it relaxes whatever deer instincts Alastor has and Lucifer is assured that Alastor doesn’t feel like eating him any more than he usually does if he’s a deer (prompting Lucifer to literally yell “THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN ‘ANY MORE THAN YOU USUALLY DO’???????”)
