Skyviatar, Loviatar in Skyrim? Options

[SubRosa]

Ever since Persephone paid her first visit to Markarth, I have been kicking around the idea of porting Loviatar to Skyrim. Namira's ring adds a the cannibilism perk, which would be perfect. I found a mod that improves cannibalism, but for some reason the author decided to have it turns the cannibalized corpses into ash piles. Which I really don't want, as I will have manually markfoedelete every one. I tried modding it to remove that part, but I am not really sure if it worked.

I was also thinking about poison. I could give her 100% resistance like Persephone has. But that is only half right. Loviatar lives off of poisons, toxins, and corruption. So poison should heal her. I could mod all the poisons in the game to do healing, but then if she uses it against someone, it will heal them as well. So I would need to mod things so poison still harms others, but heals her. I think I can do it by editing the existing poison magic effects and putting in a check to see if it Loviatar. If it is not, then the poison will work as normal. Then I could create a second effect with a similar check, but if it comes back positive for Loviatar it will do healing. Then I would have to add the new effect onto every poison in the game.

And of course I have spent some time looking at outfits. So far I am looking at four I like:

Tribunal Robes

Ebony

Deadric

Witch Battle Armor

Right now my thought is for the Witch Battle Armor to be her standard adventuring outfit, and the Tribunal Robes her town clothes.

She is also wearing the Jack of Blades mask in all, and Grace Darklings Hood and Hair. The mask is enchanted to allow her to breathe normal air (a replacement for her gas mask filled with cyanide that she wore in Fallout 3).

There is no hurry on any of this. I still want to play Saya, and I was planning on doing some Fallout 3 before either. But character creation is my favorite mini-game!

She is a Breton. That seemed the most scientisty of the human races.

She does not have a Dwarven Centurion yet. That was just a test to make sure my dwarven summoning mod works. It does look badass though!

Loviatar will definitely be doing Namira's cannibal quest. In fact she is half way through it already. But I am giving her the cannibalism perk right off the bat. Namira's Ring will just be extra flavor. I will probably wind up changing its enchantment though.

I can see her doing many of the other Daedric quests. The ones my other characters refuse to do, like the Molag Bal and Boeithah ones. Or the Black Star side of the Azura quest. The fun thing about playing Loviatar is that she is not constrained by pesky things like morals or honor.

I could see her doing Dawnguard from the vampire side, but that is predicated on your becoming a vampire. But that could never happen. Loviatar's Prometheus Serum-infused body would literally eat the vampire disease. The same with lycanthropy. So the Hircine quest is out too. (My Poison Absorption mod also abosrbs diseases, so rather than contract them, she receives healing).

I did start playing Loviatar last night, starting out just outside Markarth. I was using the Cannibalism Reloaded mod. But I was getting CTDs, and it looks like the scripts in that were the cause. I removed the mod, and had to use a save game editor to remove the scripts. But the test run I did afterward was CTD free. So hopefully that resolved it.

There is another cannibal mod out there, I think it called Bloody Cannibalism? But it does some things I do not like, such as change the corpses to body parts. I am not sure what it does to the items in the victims inventories. It might just dump them on the ground. But even if it just deletes them instead, all those bones are just going to contribute to save game bloat, which I do not want. Worse, the mod uses scripts, and after all the CTDs I was getting from the last mod, I am very gunshy about another mod heavily dependent upon scripting.

So I think I am just going to make my own Cannibal mod, like I did with Fallout 3 and NV. All I am really looking to do is add an option to carve up a corpse and get an item of Human Flesh instead of devouring it right then. Plus maybe change the effects of devouring and create a few cannibal recipes.
