Planned Content

• Custom Content (Oct 2023-Feb 2024)

• Bugfixes

• Vigilant Quest Commentary (External Patch)

  • The highly anticipated mod support for Vigilant will have hundreds of lines in dialogue, with Serana commenting on the entire Vigilant epic. This will be an external patch and not built into the mod, though this commentary will be highly recommended to experience - as it is fully relevant to Serana's character. 

• Full commentary support for each of Skyrim's vanilla Daedric quests, to be done in three parts. The second of which will be Part II, this update. This part will include:

  • The Break of Dawn

  • The Taste of Death

  • The Only Cure

  • Discerning the Transmundane

  • The Mind of Madness

  • Waking Nightmare

  • Ill Met By Moonlight

  • The Cursed Tribe

  • Pieces of the Past

  • The Whispering Door

  • Expansions of commentary awareness to existing daedric quests. These are but not limited to: rewrites, new dialogue during quests, or commentary on the daedric artifact quest rewards.

• Expansive Romance Rewrites

• Hearthfires Children Interactions

• College of Winterhold NPC Banter

• Ashe Follower Banter

• Celine Follower Banter

• Daegon Follower Banter

• New Batch of Custom Names + Conversations

  • Custom Names integration during Dawnguard and quest commentary.

• Bugfixes

Important Note: Due to SDA development ending, I may not be able to get to many of these requests. Once the V5.0 changelog is finalized,  this section (along with the relevant channels on Discord) will be independently closed.

Vampirism Cure Quests

• Vampire Side:

  • Side quest for those who embraced Harkon's gift and romanced Serana, offering a path to cure your vampirism for her sake.

Banter/Awareness and Mod Support

• Banter/Awareness with custom-voiced followers (WIP Collaborations)

• Mod Support:

  • Legacy of the Dragonborn

  • Beyond Skyrim: Bruma

  • Elysium Estate

• Serana's Custom Home (Standalone Mod)

• Similar to what I did with Trueblood, this will be a standalone and optional, but officially-sponsored and "canon" mod to the whole SDA experience. Serana will have a custom home that you can build with her, Hearthfires-style. SDA will likewise have commentary on this, which will be extensive and to a much more immersive extent than the general house commentary (both vanilla and modded) seeing that this is the "canon" house for Serana.

• Lucien Banter

• Ashe Banter

• Daegon Banter 

• Gore Banter

• Kaidan Banter

• Eris (from Light and Shade) Banter

• There Is No Umbra

• Skyrim EC support

Small note on awareness vs. banter: The former means that Serana can comment on said follower being in the party, but banter is a step forward with actual conversations taking place between NPCs. Banter is always preferred, but not all follower mod authors or VAs are still active in the community. Dialogue splicing is still possible (take Sofia and Inigo banter for instance) but it is very time-consuming and limiting for scriptwriting. I prefer not to do that, but there can be exceptions.
