Arthmoor Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Disappointed with how ruthless and unforgiving the Blades were at the end of the main quest? Felt like you should have been able to put your foot down and make them see reason? Well now you can! This mod is a simple, yet badly needed modification to the post-MQ quest the Blades give you to kill Paarthurnax. Approach the quest as usual. Listen to the Greybeards and Paarthurnax. Should you decide to spare his life, return to Delphine or Esbern and explain it to them. You may have to be a bit forceful in the process. They may not like what you're telling them, but they're supposed to be there to serve the Dragonborn, right? Should you choose to go through with slaying him, he will not be alone. Paarthurnax told you he was going to try and teach others the Way of the Voice, and he'll have his first group of students listening intently. Or, well, whatever dragons do when they're perched on rocks looking at each other. Are you a ruthless savage like your Blade companions, or will you show compassion and forgiveness the Blades don't appear to be capable of anymore? Make your choice, Dragonborn! Downloads AFK Mods ModDB Bethesda.net - PC + XB1 Installation Requirements Skyrim Special Edition 1.6.1130 or greater. Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch 4.3.0 or greater. You will need to turn on subtitles to see the text for Delphine and Esbern's dialogue additions. Alternately, download and use Fuz Ro D-oh - Silent Voice to see subtitles only on those NPCs with no voiced audio. This requires SKSE64. DO NOT extract the contents of the BSA file into your Data folder as loose files, or let your mod manager perform an equivalent function on the contents of the file. Doing so will cause things to load in the wrong order and break the game. Skyrim is intended to load a BSA alongside it's ESM/ESP file. Circumventing this causes issues which I will not provide support for. If you insist on going against this advice, you will receive no support for the problems you generate as a result of this. Installation - Wrye Bash BAIN Drop the archive into your Skyrim Special Edition Mods\Bash Installers folder, then install as usual. Make sure the mod is active in the Wrye Bash mods tab. Installation - Manual Drop the The Paarthurnax Dilemma.esp and The Paarthurnax Dilemma.bsa files into your Data folder. Activate the mod using whatever management tool suits you. Uninstall Don't do that. Uninstalling the mod will break things beyond repair. If you insist on ignoring this, you will get no help with trying to undo the damage that will be done.

Leonardo Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Last night, I finished the MQ and after I did that I completed the quest for this mod. However, I notice that the quest dialogue for Arngeir has a loop and won't go away unless I exit the dialogue. Although, not entirely sure if it matters but I did started the quest during the MQ (Alduin's Wall I think). Could that cause Arngeir's dialogue loop later, after I finished the MQ? = Check Mods This is a report on your currently installed or active mods. === ESL Capable Following mods could be assigned an ESL flag but are not ESL flagged. * icepenguinworldmapclassic.esp * lighterdbs.esp * moredragonloot.esp * PassiveWeaponEnchantmentRecharging.esp * Skyrim Unlimited Rings And Amulets SSE.esp * SkyUI_SE.esp === Active Mod Files: * 00 Skyrim.esm * 01 Update.esm * 02 Dawnguard.esm * 03 HearthFires.esm * 04 Dragonborn.esm * 05 ccbgssse035-petnhound.esl * 06 ccbgssse036-petbwolf.esl * 07 ccbgssse064-ba_elven.esl * 08 ccbgssse060-ba_dragonscale.esl * 09 Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch.esp [Version 4.2.3] * 0A Campfire.esm * 0B TravellersOfSkyrim.esm * 0C SkyUI_SE.esp * 0D icepenguinworldmapclassic.esp * 0E AmazingFollowerTweaks.esp * 0F Barrels and Crates.esp * 10 Relationship Dialogue Overhaul.esp * 11 Ars Metallica.esp [Version 2.0.6] * 12 lighterdbs.esp * 13 moredragonloot.esp * 14 PassiveWeaponEnchantmentRecharging.esp * 15 RDO - AFT v1.66 Patch.esp * 16 Breezehome Loft Crafting.esp * 17 Heavy Deathbrand.esp * 18 TravellersOfSkyrim - Vanilla.esp * 19 TravellersOfSkyrim - Dragonborn Addon.esp * 1A ReportXYZ.esp * 1B Cutting Room Floor.esp [Version 3.1.8a] * 1C Skyrim Unlimited Rings And Amulets SSE.esp * 1D Point The Way.esp [Version 2.0.6] * 1E Oakwood.esp [Version 1.0.6] * 1F Run For Your Lives.esp [Version 4.0.3] * 20 Honeyside.esp * 21 Trade & Barter.esp * 22 Keld-Nar.esp [Version 2.0.4] * 23 Darkwater Crossing.esp [Version 2.0.6] * 24 Dawnstar.esp [Version 2.0.5] * 25 Fall of Granite Hill.esp [Version 1.0.5] * 26 Shor's Stone.esp [Version 2.0.4] * 27 Bring Out Your Dead.esp [Version 4.0.7] * 28 Skyshards.esp [Version 2.2] * 29 Falkreath.esp [Version 1.0.2] * 2A Manor Roads.esp [Version 2.0.3] * 2B Kynesgrove.esp [Version 2.0.7] * 2C Helarchen Creek.esp [Version 2.0.6] * 2D Telengard.esp [Version 1.0.5] * 2E Whistling Mine.esp [Version 2.0.6] * 2F Soljund's Sinkhole.esp [Version 2.0.3] * 30 Karthwasten.esp [Version 2.0.5] * 31 Rorikstead.esp [Version 1.0.7] * 32 Dragon Bridge.esp [Version 2.0.5] * 33 Provincial Courier Service.esp [Version 4.1] * 34 The Paarthurnax Dilemma.esp [Version 2.0.1] * 35 CWQuartermasters.esp [Version 2.0] * 36 boundworkerstools.esp * 37 Skyrim Map Markers.esp [Version 1.8] * 38 MudcrabMerchant.esp * 39 RDO - CRF + USSEP Patch.esp * 3A Keld-Nar - Trade and Barter Patch.esp * 3B Open Cities Skyrim.esp [Version 3.1.6] * 3C Bashed Patch, 0.esp * 3D Dawnguard Map Markers.esp [Version 1.0.1] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthmoor Posted October 7, 2020 Author Share Posted October 7, 2020 Which dialogue of his is looping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonardo Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 This. After I clicked that the "Don't worry, I have decided to spare his life" or similiar (the last answer of 3) has a loop. Also, I didn't get a journal update after speaking with Arngeir since the journal directed me to talk to both Arngeir and Paarthurnax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthmoor Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 That's not the topic that leads through my alterations. The text prompt for mine is "The Blades want me to kill Paarthurnax." I don't see that on your list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonardo Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I just checked and you're right, but the topic shown in the picture I posted came up after I picked the topic you posted and after I clicked on the "Don't worry. I'm not going to kill Paarthurnax." topic I get the same topic shown in the first picture. And that's the loop I am talking about. I took a picture just to show what topic I picked.

Arthmoor Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 That has nothing to do with this mod. That "loop" exists as part of the vanilla game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonardo Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I see. Although, I need to ask. Is that something for USSEP to fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthmoor Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 No, being able to reselect a used dialogue isn't necessarily a bug even if it seems weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonardo Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Fair enough. Have you consider to change the dialogue for Arngeir in your mod, perhaps add a journal update for talking to Arngeir first or reverse it to first talk to Paarthurnax then Arngeir? Because Paarthurnax said that the Blades can trust him and he knows it, but the Blades don't want to admit they actually can trust Paarthurnax.

Jebbalon Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) Spoiler You have to talk to (yell at) Esbern for that option to be 'finalized'. Yeah? Edited October 9, 2020 by Jebbalon spoilered it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackPete Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Does your game meet the installation requirements? It requires Skyrim Special Edition 1.6.318 or greater and Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch 4.2.6 or greater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthmoor Posted December 3, 2021 Author Share Posted December 3, 2021 That sounds like a console UI message which is telling you that you don't have ALL of the mod's requirements installed, as Pete said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
