Missives for the good guys - Wildlander-mod/Support GitHub Wiki

Introduction

This is a patch for Missives (SE) developed primarily for the Jobs expansions for the Wildlander modpack, however we decided to make it available for the entire community to enjoy.

This includes several bugfixes along with missive boards inside of towns as well as cities.

It significantly expands the quests available so many that in order to keep it ESP-FE - It now has 2 quest plugins, plus a optional one for adding boards in the minor towns and villages.

Requirements

Plus a New game. Seriously. Don't add this to a existing playthrough.

Included Bugfixes

  • Fix the vampire quest so that guards don't kill them for you
  • Fix the rewards so the value of the item is taken into account.
  • Fix the bounties so the value of the item is taken into account.
  • Notify the player when they have a bounty from a failed missive - along with its value
  • Skypatched NPC groups so that the correct groups of NPC's are selected for quest givers instead of relying on quest Conditions.

Added Features

  • Addition of missive boards inside of minor towns (with optional mod)
  • Show tracking marker to fugitives / Thieves and vampires once you are in the same hold
  • The missive board give more details on the quests in the missive note.
  • NPC exclusions have been moved to SKSE\Plugins\Skypatcher\npc\ExcludedNPCS.ini to allow for easier exclusions from all quests using Skypatcher.
