I've had numerous people ask me what's next in the Hearthfires series, and one suggested Forsworn. I initially rejected the idea, as they usually live in tent camps, or have a resident hagraven if they live anywhere else. Even in the later case, they'll still pitch tents inside whatever structure they're using.

But that shouldn't completely rule this out. If a Forsworn bed is actually a skin tent with a hay pile and fur inside it, that's quite constructible, and the rest of the space can have normal furniture, crafting stations etc.

So now I'm trying to decide what to build inside. A cave is probably easiest, just needing a hole in a hillside somewhere in the Reach, but a tower/ruin entrance is also feasible for a bit of architectural variety.

Hagravens and briarhearts seem to go together, but are possibly a faction that doesn't align with Madanach, although you do find a briarheart at Druadach Redoubt. So I'm considering a post-Cidhna quest to go establish a new camp, as part of the new Reachman kingdom. Find your empty tower/ruin/cave and furnish, then the recruits will arrive to join you. No briarhearts or hagravens will turn up, as you're in charge, and those are "boss" characters.

I may still have a mage NPC that's considering the change into a hagraven, and even started the process. That could provide a sub-quest to reverse it, after she changes her mind.

Dialogue could be the usual issue, but there should be some already around for Forsworn talking to each other. Merchant dialogue for smith, alchemist, should also be there in a Breton voice.

---

The other project that was Breton-specific, was the Red Witch, but that has issues with a lack of sailor dialogue, and I'd have a lot of work to do converting it to be build-your-own. The former is much more of a show-stopper, as it needs multiple voices, and I only have one.


SubRosa - I edited the title to fix a typo.

I'm starting on the grind of creating the Misc Item tokens for construction, and their Constructible Object recipes. These are mostly clones of the BYOH ones, but everything needs the attached scripts replaced, item Id re-assigned etc.

The letter from Madanach that starts it all off may get delivered by a forsworn, if I get all the ducks in the right row. So far I have managed to spawn one in the right location near the player, nut without a valid package, or dialog to make the delivery. And each of those depends on the other, and dialog sharing (so he can use the existing dialog) is broken in the CK. It will probably get to beta with the regular courier.

I'm also struggling to decide on what the player gets sent to do while Drusilla transforms back from a part-hagraven to a normal (if scrawny) forsworn mage. It could be as simple as reporting progress to Madanach in person. I think you can go to Druadach Redoubt without a fight at this stage, as you have done Cidhna Mine in order to start it. However, logic suggests that you'd wait to see if the potion worked before telling him.

I'm also having issues with making weight-adjusting clothing. I'd like Drusilla to grow a bit as she recovers, maybe up to weight 30, but if I don't sort out my workflow, she'll be stuck at 0. Her feathers and claws "suit" only needs the one weight, as she needs to be cured before she can grow anyway. I want her to have a unique outfit so that she doesn't get lost among the recruits once the place is fully established.

The esp I put together for Khajiit had a vegetable garden and grain mill. I may make that space a choice between that and a plant-your-own alchemy space using the BYOH planting soil patches.
