🎉 Ashe: Crystal Heart Prologue - Public Release! 🎉

DESCRIPTION

EDIT 05 (November 22nd 2024):Final Release Early Access OUT NOW! Check most recent Patreon posts. :)EDIT 04 (October 2nd, 2024):🔥 Ashe Prologue - Final Update Before Full Release! 🔥

Hey everyone, I've just released another update for the Ashe Prologue! 🎉 This one's packed with improvements and fixes, and should be the last update before the full mod launches (unless any critical bugs pop up!).

Download the new FOMOD below and install it over your existing mod. For all the juicy details about what's changed, check out the full changelog on my website! [Link to changelog]

Highlights include: full vanilla NPC awareness, Campfire Talks (Ashe's version of Drinking Buddies), SMP hair support (finally!), balanced weapon stats, spooning, and a handy tracking marker with teleport!

For Xbox users:Update the mod as usual.

Also, for feedback (having finished the Prologue) and general bug reports, please fill out this feedback form! [Here]

KNOWN ISSUES/PLANNED CHANGES:

Navmesh Issues: Ashe might get stuck on the terrain. Use MoveTo Player or teleport spell (if you have it) as a temporary fix.

Smithing & Spellcasting: These features are implemented but unvoiced and might have some bugs.

Solitude Dialogue: Ashe's Solitude dialogue will be updated in the full release to reflect her Riverwood relocation.

I'm so excited to finally share the Ashe: Crystal Heart Prologue with the whole world! It's been an incredible journey so far, and I can't wait to hear what you think. 😊

Requirements (PC):

Nemesis and DAR/OAR (For Custom Animations)

SKSE (For Additional functionality)

Quick Instructions (PC):

1. Download and install the FOMOD HERE. // (If you had a previous version of the mod, delete it and install this one on top of it).

2. Run through the options*.

3. Place Ashe near the bottom of your LO.

4. Build meshes in Bodyslide (if you chose an outfit option). You'll also be able to choose between heels and non-heels for Ashe's boots.

5. Run Nemesis.

6. Enjoy!

*(Quick Note for Remy Option: RCO= RSkyrim Children Overhaul)

Quick Instructions (Xbox):

1. Search for the mod, or just click this link.

2. If you had a previous version of the early access, delete it from your LO.

3. Add it to your library and make sure "Ashe - Fire and Blood.esp" is activated in your load order!

Quick Playthrough Hints:

Look for news pamphlets about Ashe in the world - they'll get her quest started! Or talk to Ysolda in Whiterun!

If you can't find them, she's hanging out at the Winking Skeever in Solitude.

You'll need 200 gold to recruit her.

Once she's in your party, just chat with her, and her story will unfold naturally! 😊

Feedback & Bug Reports:

Once you've finished the Prologue, please fill out this feedback form: [Here]

ALL bug reports go here too! Kindly select the "I'd like to report a bug" option.

While this Prologue build is stable and shouldn't cause any save game issues, please let me know if you encounter any bugs! This version includes some bug fixes and improvements based on feedback from our amazing Patreon supporters!

What to Expect:

This Prologue contains all content up until the end of Chapter 1 ("Revelation and Reflection"), including most of Ashe's radiant features (though some dialogue is still unvoiced and/or unmastered).

You'll also find other NPCs and locations placed in the world, even though their content isn't fully implemented yet. Feel free to explore and get a sneak peek at what's to come!

The Prologue is a separate mod and will not be compatible with the full release. A new save will be required when the full version is available.

Get Ready for the Full Ashe Experience!

The Prologue is just a taste of what's to come! The full release of Ashe: Crystal Heart (coming this Thanksgiving) will feature:

The Complete Story: Experience all seven chapters of Ashe's epic journey!

Expanded Follower Features: More features like teleportation, Ashe combat skills, expanded magicka features, etc...

Enhanced Lore Integration: Ashe will react to more vanilla quests and have expanded banter with NPCs.

Romance: Develop a deeper connection with Ashe and explore a romantic storyline.

I'm also planning to continue supporting Ashe with ongoing updates, adding new quest commentary, storylines, and features even after the full release! 😊
