Manbreaker Mod, Skyrim Mod Beta based on a transformation comic

[Lurkergg]

Awhile back I made a short transformation comic based on a Skyrim follower named "Uthgerd the Unbroken." You can see the comic here http://www.hentai-foundry.com/pictures.php?pid=133835 if you have not seen it yet.

I have finally finished the mod based on the comic.

I need some testers to test it before I post it on Skyrimnexus, I was hoping some of you would be willing to help me out with that.

Quick F.A.Q

"What does the mod do exactly?"
It changes the basic look of Uthgerd the unbroken follower in Skyrim, gives her some additional abilities and changes her look as she levels!

"Wait . . . you mean she does the exact same thing like in the comic !!?"
Well, no, not exactly. She has a younger look from the start, but as you level (she levels with you) she will grow taller, stronger and start growing horns.

"what do you mean by stronger? What abilities does she gain?"
She will gain a passive flame cloak effect while in battle, it wont be visible on her but you will see attackers get hit with fire when they hit her with melee attacks. She will also get the ability to summon Daedra. First it will only be a flame Atronach, but after she hits 40 or so she will start summoning a custom Dremora known as a Manbreaker. The Manbreaker dremora share a similar look. Its not known if Uthgerd got her Daedric appearance from them or if they came into being through her.

"Combat wise, how is she different?"
Well first thing I changed her combat style and class. Her original form has her in a class that levels her one handed weapon and block skills while her combat style was that of a two-handed weapon bandit boss. I made a new class and combat style for her that fits her two-handed weapon aggressive battle demon theme. I changed her to be essential, so she will not die. That being said do not expect her to do all the work for you. She can do pretty dam awesome at higher levels, but she will need the gear to do it. The more you invest in her the better she will do, like any follower. At higher levels she even has a magic resistance to help her tank for reckless fireball throwing dragonborns.

"What exactly do you want to hear from us while we beta test this?"
Any and all bugs you run into, feedback on how well she handles different combat situations in any and all levels and combat with anything/everything in skyrim and any feedback you have.

Email me with any bug reports or feedback at Lurkergg@gmail.com or post on this thread. NOT THE ART THREAD IN THE OTHER PART OF THE FORUMS.


Known issues:

"She doesn't have a HEAD!!!?"
If you can still see her teeth, then simple leave or enter a building. Making sure where ever you end up has enough room for her transformation effect. She should have a head after that. If it continues try the console command "setnpcweight 100" and make sure you click her in the console command mode before using the command.

"She is naked"
This may be effected by your already in-progress save file or the fact followers automatically only use the game default outfits when they are not with you. Simply trade her a piece of gear and she should put on the best gear available in her inventory."

"She is bald."
I am pretty sure I fixed that. But please let me know if it pops up.

"She couldn't solo the dragon for me!! > "
Working as intended.

Requirements:
CBBE body mod: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=2666

For now that is all. She is using an apachi hair model but that is included in this beta folder to allow for easy beta testing. It will most likely be a required mod when I post it on skyrim nexus.

Started a new game to test this out, i'll let you know how things goes as i level up. By the way, i think this might be better as a stand alone companion (maybe getting a quest related to Uthgerd and dremora in wich you get a tainted magic clone? XD)

[Lurkergg]

That is one of the possibly idea I have to make the mod run smoother. Problem is I still need to learn alot more scripting for that to work and you never know when you would run into the old uthgerd again >.<

But it is something I will explore

Also make sure you have CBBE installed. The armor makes the game crash if it is not installed

[Expander]

Well, no probles so far (lvl 12), only thing i found out, is that she disappears sometimes, only to return to your side some 10-20 seconds later. Just once she returned to the inn after traveling with the horse cart.

Oh, and i'm tinkering with CK as well, my purpose is to make a conjuration perk that lets you gain size/height/stats when you absorb souls if you don't have a ready soul gem. (after all, who said the dragonborn is able to drain only a dov's soul? >.>

[Lurkergg]

Glad to hear that even if she does get lost she heads back to her normal spot. I have never once used the carriage so I had not though of testing that >.<

Thank you for testing this by the way. I hope to have some more art to go with my posting of it on skyrim nexus soon.

Well from what I could see it worked well for me. The only problem I had was that fuuuucking darkened head problem, but I believe that's because I haven't gone in and manually deleted the mesh files from my NPC Editor mod of Uthgerd.

[Expander]

well:
Growth by level up: check.
Horns growing: check.
Spell casting: check.

The only thing that bugs me is the screen shaking thing when her script starts >.>

[zdarkness]

Oh right, I forgot to mention that. The shaking thing is annoying as hell, yeah.

That is actually something I put in the make sure the mod was working. It is intended and I will be removing it.

[Lurkergg]

IT IS DONE. Here is some art for you.

Thanks you guys for providing the last pit of testing I needed

slight issue with the mod, might just be my graphics setting being on LOW, but i can see that there are some seams that need polishing, otherwise it looks nice.

Also the skin on the female nord looks kinda plasticy in some area, again that might be due to my graphics being on LOW. if anyone else has this issue with the other settings let me know so i don't have to think it's me.

Congrats on the mod. Not my things as she looks too manish for my tastes but I support the idea of a evolving follower fully. Now if you ever make a character that goes from cute to sexy badass wolf girl were-wolf thing, I'll be all over that.
