I’m sure you get this a lot but I keep reading your url as chongoblongo and I hope you never change it. I hope I’m always wrong

I do get this a lot, and while I've been gunning to claim "chongo" for simplicity's sake, the chongoblongo confusion is always fun.

Skyrim Mods PSA:

If you ever see the CreationClub's Nordic Jewelry reuploaded to the Nexus or one called "Traditional Marriage", report them.

Basically, a Nexus-alternative that hosts bigoted, disgusting mods reposts them with links to their website for the purpose of advertising/trolling.

Hit the Report Abuse button, then "I believe this mod is breaking the rules" then

For Nordic Jewelry, report Stolen Content and list the website it's stolen from as bethesda.net

For Traditional Marriage, report Inappropriate Content -> Abusive Content -> then explain that it removes gay marriage opportunities (which is against the ToS)

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.

[SSE] Expansion and Romance Add-on for Miraak Follower Dialogue Overhaul

NEW! Updated file here!!!

I've decided to share the current version of my expansion and romance mod for Miraak! It's standalone, doesn't require the originals, since I built it atop of the Dialogue Overhaul mod.

Details under the Read More.

This is a test/alpha version of the expansion. Bugs may be found in this version, and you can send me bug reports via ask on my blog ^-^

Downloadable from Google Drive. Install via MO2 (recommended) or Vortex. Further instructions are included in the readme.txt file inside the compressed archive.

This is only available for Special Edition.

PLEASE DO NOT SHARE THE FILE ANYWHERE! Especially not on the Nexus, LL, or Bethesda.Net, I do not want to get a cease and desist from Todd. Please also don't share this file with people whom I have blocked from my blog. I've blocked them for a reason. I hope you can respect that.

Other than that, have fun my fellow Miraak enjoyers~

Bethesda.net dropped some delicious lore for Starfield, and I love them for that. Very good to know this stuff heading into a new roleplaying experience for sure.

[atombonniebaby]

Yay, I finished RJ's room!

It is fic related, so lots of little details, like the Lamplight painting... (I head-canon that Nate did that one! The old boy has some hidden talents, and knows the place personally...maybe a little different than he remembers, but he took inspiration from what MacCready told him!) I also got the idea for no chair at his desk from Little Lamplight!

Mini Mayor MacCready (Mac is Mayor of Sanctuary in my fic) he has a room in the little giftshop, run by Knick-Knack (Knick-Knack's Knick-Knacks) Rj has a room to himself, with books and a typewriter in there (and coffee mugs!) but no chair! Kinda like he is always on the go...(still not quite sure why he has a bathtub in there tho! 🤣) Most of the decor is from a fallout 3 workshop pack and another one called "creative clutter" and it is probably one of the best workshop mods out there (only on Bethesda.net!) I reckon my favourite detail is that he has stabbed the alarm clock with his pocket knife!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Took a break from Doom Eternal close to the end of the game because it crashed, and I thought I should play something a little more lightweight to give my Switch a breather. Plus I was really in the mood for more old school Doom; I've really been struggling with the resource-management aspect of Doom Eternal. Just too frigging complicated for me to grok and engage with fluidly. 😵‍💫

Too many systems to balance, too many plates to keep spinning.

So I booted up Doom II, and was pleasantly surprised to discover all of the modded third-party WADs that Bethesda has now officially published for it.

I've been playing through TNT: Evilution and it's super fun! Some real noodle-scratcher levels in there!

Only real downside is that Doom II tries to stay online and always connected to Bethesda.net, which makes the entire game hang whenever my flaky wifi drops out, and it's just... Why? Why would you make it like that? And there's no way to stop it going online either. You just have to wait for it to timeout enough times that it gives up of its own accord. Real pain in the ass.

Aside from this port's BS tho, god I love Doom II. Just doesn't get any better than this. 😇

[vault81]

also a really fun thing that skyrim creations does now, when you sort out your load order and close the load order menu, the game un-does it! you can't even save it to bethesda.net because it doesn't actually save the load order, it just says it does!

I've recently discovered an obsession with Derkeethus.

He's the perfect in-game husband. Don't come at me with the "He's a deadbeat" "He never comes home" Yk why? You moved him too far away from his job. It's your fault :(

Most Hearthfire homes are too far from Darkwater for him to effectively go to work and come back home. He's stuck in an endless circle of 'go home' 'go to work' but he never make it there.

He tries to walk to his job at Darkwater Crossing, but can never make it before he has to go home. He never makes it home before he has to go to work again. You see where I'm going with this? Okay.

Solutions are as follows:

Have him permanently follow you

Download a mod of a home that is closer to Darkwater I know two and will put them below

Don't marry him

hello ! im a new fan that came along with death shroud (i intend to give the rest of your stuff a listen at some point!), but i was just wondering how you started the podcast itself? especially since it's a storytelling podcast revolving around Bethesda's ip. i think what you're doing is super interesting & something i definitely wanna try my hand at bc i love the world of fallout & want to tell more stories in :) also thank you for organizing fallout for hope !

Hey there!

Thank you! I had a weird trajectory that Bethesda themselves covered in a Community Spotlight article they did a few years back. lol Fallout 76 Community Spotlight: CHAD: A Fallout 76 Story (bethesda.net)

I also just shared a post with some thoughts and suggestions for other people interested in taking their fan fiction and turning it into a podcast. :)
