Workshop Progress: December Mini-Update

We are very pleased to announce that we've scheduled the final recording sessions for the KRCE 2.0 update with our VA, Paul Warren! The final line total for this first update is massive -- just over 700 lines! -- and touches on a wide variety of quests and features.

We even have a new [REDACTED] surprise for you all, something the community has been begging us for since we announced the project…

We'll be hosting a public Workshop event in the weeks after our final VA session to present the new material and set expectations for our second Open Beta event!

Other than that, as always, we thank you for your continued support!

Currently experiencing Kaidan revoiced…

But GENUINELY Paul Warren brings this extra depth and emotion to Kaidan that works incredibly well. There’s something so genuine there that I hadn’t even noticed was missing before. I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to finally open the game and try him out. I’m obsessed.

Workshop Progress: Fall Update

Greetings Workshop Spectators! We're closer than ever to the first content release for KRCE 2.0; the version of KRCE that will contain content other than the original Kaidan 2 base script. As we've stated before, KRCE 1.0 will remain available for those who prefer the original content over whatever the Workshop chooses to implement in the future.

After our last announcement, we took a look at the different scripts in production and discussed which seemed the most suitable to be included in this initial update. We wanted to prioritize content that players would need to start a new save file to see, as well as begin laying the groundwork for some of our future development goals.

The staff finally settled on a mix of scripts that will bolster Kaidan's reactivity during some of the major quest lines, as well as his commentary regarding the player character and their actions. We plan on revisiting many of these scripts as we continue to build upon them after implementation. So! With no further ado, we've settled on these scripts for inclusion in this first mass release for KRCE 2.0:

The Intro Overhaul Pack -- What started as just a 1 for 1 integration of WarTortle's Immersive Kaidan Start has now expanded to include new conversations and immersive details to help smooth out the narrative mystery behind Kaidan's past, particularly for players who are new to TES lore.

Paarthurnax Quest Expansion Compatibility -- Created by the amazing JaySerpa, PQE hooks wonderfully into Kaidan's existing narrative about redemption. We've managed to work into a few subtle nods to Kaidan's dark past for players who haven't completed his personal quest.

The Book Pack -- In addition to creating new lines for each book Kaidan receives, we have also implemented a system where the player can then ask him what he thought about said book. Some of these books also have conditional dialogue, depending if the player has or hasn't completed certain quests. There's also a new mini-quest built into this book system that will unlock...

The Training Pack -- Now, after giving Kaidan a number of books to enjoy, he will offer to train the player in a number of different martial skills.

New Major Quest Line Commentary -- While Kaidan has existing dialogue for the Skyrim Main Quest, College of Winterhold Quest, and Companions Quest, we felt that there were sections that deserved more attention. Kaidan will now have more robust commentary for these three quest lines, as well as the associated radiant and side quests associated with each (e.g. ritual spell quests).

Unlockable Titles -- As per a suggestion from our 'i-had-an-idea' channel, we're adding unlockable titles to our Nickname system. Once a player completes either the Companions or College of Winterhold quest line, they will gain the ability to ask Kaidan to refer to them as Harbinger or Archmage, respectively. You can also ask him to refer to you as Thane, for those who love the feeling being a noble. As we add dialogue for the other factions, we will update the title list accordingly.

I’m Glad You’re Here Compatibility – A dedicated set of dialogue to go alongside the popular “I’m Glad You’re Here” mod by WhiteWolf424242, complete with Nickname and Title integration.

The Roleplay Pack – Skyrim is a huge world with many customisation options, and even more player characters; this pack aims to have Kaidan react to player driven roleplay options. Kaidan will be able to comment on where the player is from, what gods they worship, even what their background is – all chosen by you.

Kiai Commentary -- Kiai was a bit of an afterthought in the original mod, so we wanted to show her some love and created new dialogue for obtaining and naming her. Now Kaidan can finally be the horse dad he's always wanted to be!

More Idles -- To top it off, we're including an assortment of different conditional idles and reactions to make Kaidan a bit more emotive to the world around him, without making him too chatty. There will be a little of everything in here, but some of our favorites include new healing lines, player death lines and new reactions to casting spells on Kaidan.

All of these additions amounts to just under 700 lines of new content, which is nearly half of the original line count for Kaidan. Just like before our KRCE 1.0 launch, we plan on hosting an Open Beta for this new content to help us chase down any bugs before release. We're thrilled to show you our hard work and get your feedback in the coming months; as always, we thank you for your continued interest and support!
