From a69d10c8cdb37717cc59d5ab37ff29c779f7f1a0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Fortier Date: Wed, 4 Feb 2026 20:33:07 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Patch Companions C02 "Brotherhood" (induction) so member does not hang Patches the single Scene in the quest to fix the hang if a member (not Leader) steps on the ceremony hotspot. The fix is innocuous to the standard game. It was an obscure bug. There's a hidden (not in the the quest log, a bit of an easter egg) objective to speak to the QuestGiver (Vilkas) before going to the ceremony. IF the Leader does not talk to Vilkas AND the member steps on the ceremony hotspot AND the Leader does not stop on the hotspot Scene would hang, so the quest would hang with player controls frozen. The reason is the scene required Vilkas to be present. The hidden objective makes him be present. If the Leader triggered the ceremony (or joins it), Vilkas is told to run to the ceremony. If Member triggered it, well, Vilkas did nothing because he's controlled by Leader. Isn't this fun? Anyway, fixed it by only requiring always-present NPCs to speak their last line. Separate topic: I made this as a separte ESL-flagged ESP. I think now that ESLs exist and are cheap, not burning slots, it makes more senses to keep patches separate rather than bundling them all into one ESP and losing context of what is changing what. But that's debatable, so if there are strong arguments to merge every patch into one .ESP glob, let's hear them. --- GameFiles/Skyrim/SkyrimTogetherC02fix.esp | Bin 0 -> 4984 bytes 1 file changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) create mode 100644 GameFiles/Skyrim/SkyrimTogetherC02fix.esp diff --git a/GameFiles/Skyrim/SkyrimTogetherC02fix.esp b/GameFiles/Skyrim/SkyrimTogetherC02fix.esp new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..256f8d8199a0035daada97c4f810f3e6eec8f44f GIT binary patch literal 4984 zcmeHLNpI6Y6n<<6UyL2mxl_QCby{xKvi`(1<3K#x2}JXhyUuiG!OK_0}r~_I>*y zoLEl$22OC}&V^ffpIyYBZ13%B8vrY0l=I z(Ih3f`}yIKp&!g%NZWagw)%tv|9|4oaTUAQ_|Frxo@^^?ZKHImH(M=FkJTsKYGF)O z6^-Uh>n*L~G!nFn3YlU{mtrcFI@@#RbcTC$GDA;-_2=h1zpbW@jwOa9mT2#yj90o| zQPp~}r!PSr$m~zXoX)VhNlNmt0Y*f8OYNi!O4STCqr6$Ss*Kun-Kcr$bG=`l$!AD#emSW|ilZZcM7O<6fFpQ}yc; z%wC)+c@4tLejK+seu*Q9rkir^j52QOQAT}Sc`7oH)X4Xj&4Cy?5W8Auf^wQ~6}LJ& z?7EefNIvoK=14d=$zJXf^8bztW%G~Qvv^4m-B~C{3hjTK!wSI=NSP8JdGx zD@oY62K_aKEy40pHzR4q==QDH4WyMp%UER7z7^58XNCizV>v!-p!`U2yg>?CokGD! zJf3VHZDus&qpQ42n~ZoI-&<&qtI*&;X{O|xZ`McBj78G~-gHIMl$&Ve@Czxw zjZ7owB;HoUCDf9*1cY~xB)ws?2OO+E9DY{LyaHnk)5>M@Ky&?;ox2FcBkWNgfopN; zwhdtucNAevnFs@k@M|p$3u6_=G817$E5bk`{7MV^!7M*xl%dr17DmmcBRdJf&(k;k zr49jG-rwiGmBv-6T=z<2lSa*dUuoHfc7%i!tQH_~g+VNJuzgWT?zJi9@hekHP`g=7 zCMe9EAQU+J_wIzOialBw3r?m5NIZC$)w+MgB{JoK( zaATtmV)6i4%Iessg+VPI_#(as&tmc*WY+gNefA8X;|)p^JqAC45}#+9n-BU*R^Bgq&@GJdpj86Rbl z=EDZ3zJvfIAv|2U5RS2k?Bh7=MHongAH*$;^I8_xaV?CqUW9=}_
