Frequently Asked Questions: Legacy of the Dragonborn - Omni-guides/Tuxborn GitHub Wiki

• A museum to Solitude that you can use to display your loot and artifacts acquired through the course of your playthrough, including places to display items from several of the other mods in our load order
• Its own multi-part questline, which proceeds as you fill your museum with displays
• Several NPCs you'll work with as the museum develops
• A player home attached to the museum, with a full suite of crafting stations, as well as its own custom storage system accessible from elsewhere in the game
• Bundling with Moonpath to Elsweyr
• An airship, the Dev Aveza, which you'll receive after running Moonpath to Elsweyr
• A wide variety of artifacts brought in from previous Elder Scrolls games

So don't be afraid to give it a try! But also, if you do run into performance issues, please inform us, so that we can work to address them for a future release.

If you are a Steam Deck player, for best Legacy of the Dragonborn performance, we recommend that you choose the Tuxborn - Deck or TuxBFCO - Deck profiles.

You can try to use the Tuxborn - Handheld or TuxBFCO - Handheld profiles, but you would be at risk of replicating the earlier performance problems if you do so. If and only if you're considering playing the same save on your computer and your Steam Deck, then you could consider using the Handheld profile on your device, since it's compatible with the Desktop profiles and the Deck profiles are not.

However, if you do that, we suggest that you restrict all action at the museum (and if you want to be extra cautious, action inside any building in Solitude) to your computer. Outside of Solitude, performance should be normal on the Deck.

Once pass the 400-500 range for display count, you may see signs of some smaller performance issues inside the museum. We don't know yet if this is a matter of Tuxborn needing more work in this area, possible changes introduced by the latest SteamOS update, or maybe both. Players who see this consistently, please report this to the #txbn-support channel, so that Ouroboros and Omni can track the issue and start working out the scope of the problem.

In the meantime, try one or more of these suggested workarounds if you start seeing performance issues in your museum:

1. Try to structure any given play session so that you do museum business first thing. The museum does seem to perform worse after you do a long session of adventuring.
2. Similarly, consider cutting down the average length of your play session. If you've been playing for three hours or so, you might want to save and come back again later.
3. If you are running more than one follower at a time, consider leaving them elsewhere before you enter the museum. One of these approaches should work:
   • Tell them all to wait for you in the Explorer's Society guildhall
   • Tell them to wait for you out in Solitude proper
   • Leave them somewhere else entirely
4. There are three settings in LOTD's main MCM you may wish to dial down to minimum values. These are all under General > Visitor Settings:
   • Daily Tour Chance
   • Vanilla visitors chance
   • Idle Frequency
5. If you start to see issues in the Safehouse in particular, consider avoiding loading up the Sell Cart with too much at once, as that's one of the big performance hits.
6. Minimize the amount of food you store in the Safehouse, since the dining room and kitchen have dynamic displays that update depending on what food you have in storage.
7. The smelter in the crafting room has a switch you can toggle on that shows an actual fire. Recommend leaving this off if your Safehouse starts being cranky. Ditto for the lights and fireplace.

LOTD is almost entirely self-contained, plot-wise. So it won't impact any other mod content in the load order, or vanilla Skyrim content, if you don't play it.

What you'd miss out on therefore would be LOTD-specific content, including but not limited to the following:

• The ability to run Moonpath to Elsweyr, if you are interested in doing so
• Access to the Safehouse and the Dev Aveza
• Access to the LOTD Achievements system, which is one of the few means in Tuxborn by which you can get additional perk and/or attribute points
• Several unique items available only as LOTD Achievement rewards
• Additional conversation options with the modded Lydia, and Remiel

All five of the NPCs you recruit for the Explorer's Society can also be recruited as followers:

• Marassi
• Eriana
• Latoria
• Kyre
• Madras

How useful they'd actually be as followers, however, is open to debate. At the very least, for RP purposes, keep in mind that all five of these people are in Legacy's story as relic hunters, not necessarily as warriors. They can and do engage in combat when LOTD's story needs them to, but it's not their main point. And stats-wise, especially as you proceed into middle and later stages of your playthrough, you will very likely be able to do better with other followers.

But still, they are an option to consider. Each of their pages on the LOTD wiki has a little detail of unique things they can do if you happen to use them as followers. In particular, Latoria is described on her page as a capable Destruction mage, so that might be helpful for lower level characters.

At least a couple of these NPCs (Eriana, Latoria) are listed on the LOTD wiki as leveling with the player, as well, without a specified level cap.

BE ADVISED: the linked pages here for Marassi and Kyre do contain major spoilers for the overall Legacy plot. Do NOT scroll down too far on their pages if you want to avoid those spoilers. Fortunately, you don't need to to see the info about using them as followers.

In addition to the five members of the Explorers Society, once you have 350 displays, Marcus Flynn will spawn as one of the museum patrons. After you speak with him, you may randomly encounter him in a dungeon later, at which point he'll offer to join forces with you. If you take him up on it, he will then be available as a follower later.

He is fixed at level 25, so he would most likely be useful as an early game follower.
