Reflecting on the story of Unslaad tonight and I just find it so interesting that both overarching antagonists of the Vicn Trilogy, Molag Bal and Hermaeus Mora, and by extension Hoholaugh and the Black Owls in regards to the latter, each manage to be so horrifyingly villainous while also being the most pathetic characters in the whole story. Each of them is desperately attempting to force you to give them what they need to escape their own destruction, trying with everything in their power to beat you into submission with the worst horrors imaginable, only for them to be practically crawling and clinging onto your ankle while desperately pleading for you to stop and help them by the end. Each seems like an impossible foe at the darkest moments of the story, but when you look back after it's all over you can see just how pitiful they always were.

"Laugh at such matters, Dragonborn. For the Prisoner holds the reins of fate in their hands."

I also think of it as a nice callback to Vigilant that you can defeat Hoholaugh by offering him forgiveness, but with a very different outcome compared to the souls you grant peace in that story, and honestly I think it's the most damning option of all for him. He looks out upon the world and the understanding of what he's done, how he's been used, and all that he was never and will never be able to be part of hits him all at once. That's the key thing, too. I think Hoholaugh doesn't just know in this moment, he understands. Molag Bal will never understand, and neither will Hermaeus Mora. The Prince of Fate is too stuck with his head buried in all his stolen words and, even moreso, his own fear to have any capacity to look at the world and truly comprehend the magnificence of it all. But in the moment after he's freed, Hoholaugh understands, and it destroys him.

"The more I think about it, the more I feel... I could have been a part of this world if only my Lord Herma-Mora participated in its creation..."

The greatest revenge you can have against the Black Owl is to take none at all, and I think there's something brilliant to that.

One of the crowning achievements of VIGILANT is how it elicits pity from the player for Molag Bal whilst never depriving him of his villainy. His corruption permeates the story and the first three acts would have you think that you are in for an epic confrontation against an impossible foe. Instead, you find him cowering behind his throne as Jyggalag's onslaught ravages Coldharbour, begging for an escape. You face down the corruption of Bal within yourself as it desperately clings to you, willing to cling onto anything it can. The means by which you're able to escape Coldharbour, to free yourself and others from his mark and face down every horror he has committed: he just simply cannot understand. The Lord of Domination is rightfully feared but he is also pathetic, and in some ways, is a slave to himself as much as he would be others.

I like to think that the crews of the Vigilant and Springhawk have a leaderboard of “most swear words used in a cohesive sentence” Ar’Alani has first, second, and fourth, Samakro has third and Lakinda (unbeknownst to her) has fifth. Most of these records come from people talking about Thrawn.

VIGILANT

Hello Friends,

After a few weeks of work, I have finished the first version of the VIGILANT commentary patch! It adds ~140 lines of commentary, both location-based idles and conversations with the player. VIGILANT is a story best experienced alone, at least for the first time, but if you scare easily or get lonely, it is now possible to bring Auri along.

Because of the way VIGILANT is made, the patch has a few quirks. For instance, Auri will occasionally either follow you into places she's not meant to (like dreams) or not follow you into places she should. I recommend liberal use of the summon spell in the latter case. Another quirk you need to be aware of as of this first version of the patch, is that Auri will assume that you have made the good/correct choices throughout the story, even if you haven't. This is because I haven't yet figured out how to track Vigilant's Karma system, and because of the mod's sparse use of clear quest stages. Therefore, if you intend to do an evil/bad playthrough, leave Auri at home. I really recommend that you use the voiced translation by Aelarr.

Finally - because of how long VIGILANT is, I've only playtested the patch once. Let me know if something seems to not be working correctly.

Good luck on your journey, Vigilant of Stendarr.

I know the signs are already showing, but here’s a direct advance warning to the people that if I start speaking in strange verses and gazing into the void more than usual it’s because Vigilant has me in its grasp again. Beware that I could start playing Skyrim again at any moment within the next month and when I get to that quest you will KNOW.
