Alyieneth - A Skyrim NPC

Alyieneth - A Skyrim NPC

Project Overview

About

This project is a Skyrim NPC, who has fled from difficulties or endured them all her life. From an early flight from Morrowind on wich she lost her parents to bandits, to the current flight from the Gray Quarter where she killed a Stormcloak in self-defense using her werewolf beast form.


The project aims to be long term, giving her actual growth from a woman in beggar's rags to a properly integrated NPC in Whiterun. It does not currently aim to provide a follower and likely never will, her new home is the place she'll stay at.

    Good morning,


    I just thought I'd give a weekly state of the project, so you see where it is going and how it is developing. All data is since last week, so not the total.

    Alyieneth

    Planned

    • Voice Lines: 67

    • Interactions: 5

    • Werewolf Lines: 6

    Implemented

    • Dialogue: All dialogue is ingame already, the only exception is interactions since they bug out without voice files

    • Economy: the economy and automatic growth over time is complete for now, simulating her going from beggar level to forager/hunter on her own and clearing her debts

    • Inventory/Sales: Inventory and sales have been adjusted to more accurately represent the availability of a knife or lack thereof. No longer are animal parts sold without the required tool available

    • Full Moons: The full moons now affect her aggression level on top of her stats, meaning she dets way more aggressive when the moons are up.

    Bjorn Goldbeard

    • Voice Lines: 25

    Implemented

    • Training: Bjorn is a trainer for two-handed weapons up to level 50
