Someone else is CoC, Incorporating Kvatch Rebuilt (partly). Options

What it says on the can.

I have a need to test multiple post-MQ quests, but don't want to spend time creating testing characters that do the whole MQ. So I need a mod I can install that has another character be the CoC, and in my case, I'd like them to have been rewarded by making them Count of Kvatch.

This thread is intended for discussion of features that would make my mod - I need to build one anyway for my own use - into one that others could use.

I'd expect to use it by creating a character, doing a few quests such as MG up to University entry, SI past the Gatekeeper, to establish character access to everywhere. The character would not visit Kvatch and thus not even start that part of the MQ.

Adding in the mod would allow console SetStage to position the MQ and Kvatch events as I need them. I.e.

• Move Martin to CRT.
• Open city gates. ( I often need to let the player recruit Prizna for Gweden at this stage )
• Close city gates.
• Lock Imperial City while the CoC battles Dagon, and the Temple gets altered.
• Start rebuild - Lock Kvatch
• Complete rebuild - Open Kvatch rebuilt with an Imperial CoC as new Count.

I'd imagine that Oblivion Gates near cities would be demolished and the area "restored" during the Kvatch rebuilding stages. The Siege crawler at the site of the Battle for Bruma would remain as monument. A few remote Oblivion Gates would remain (but no burning ones).

I also need something similar for MG/FG/DB questlines. I may build in optional stages in this, or make them separate mods. The latter may be required by game mechanics anyway.

Suggestions? Requests?

Edit: A few requirements I can think of:

• The player does not get addressed as CoC
• All other post-MQ dialog is enabled
• Temple district has Dragon statue
• Temple District roads may be repaved at Kvatch rebuild stage

I've had great luck with that No Champion Conversations mod. No one has called Buffy the champion of anything or said a peep about her participation in any of the MQ. No Hero of Kvatch, Champ of Bruma, Champ of Cyrodiil, statue talk at all. I confess she has not talked to Ocato in her post MQ world - will have to seek him out and check that. Folks do ponder the future of the Empire and comment about going to see the dragon of Akatosh and mages talk about the metaphysical implications. Soldiers express relief the crisis is over, but ponder the future of the Empire. Most folks seem to express confidence in the Council's ability to hold things together - somehow.

Regarding the statue, since Buffy is a custom race, it is a known glitch that the game will build a Bruma statue, then promptly crash everytime you subsequently try to enter Bruma. I use a separate small mod to fix this - which it does. The pedestal for her statue is there, but the statue is gone. That fix mod says the same thing can happen if you let them build a statue of you during Kvatch Rebuilt in Kvatch. The mod can be applied to fix that as well, but having that statue made is optional so Buffy simply declined.

Ah, the complex worlds we weave! As you know, Sirs Mazoga and Agronak are the Champs of Cyrodiil and Fanador (Adoring Fan) is their squire. Making Mazoga a part time companion was easy. Doing that with Agronak was beyond my ability and, given my limited abilities, I didn't feel I could easily get both Agronak and Fanador in Buffy's world as companions. So we sacrificed Agronak (and just pretend he is Mazoga's consort) in order to free Fanador as a part time companion. So Buffy could travel with the real Mazoga and/or Fanador if/when she chooses, but would need to create a special companion if we really needed to have an Agronak in her game (which we don't). Gee, look at me waffle on here.
