Would you consider making a patch for Experience Quests Tweak? With your Heart of Dibella loading last, the quest doesn't give xp when using Experience, and EQT loading last breaks your quest expansion
Quest starts twice if you broke in before (uncaught). I broke in to steal the statue but was never caught. I got the letter from the priest. Went to talk to her. She started out nice and all. I agreed to help. When the talking was done. She started again, saying I need to do something for her as punishment (starting the quest again vanilla way).
It's a good idea but making it so you have to be the thane of the Reach just to get the alternate option kind of defeats the whole purpose. This means you have to do 2 bounty quests for the Jarl (the second of which requires you to be level 20 or higher) + 5 miscellaneous quests for citizens in the Reach + spend 8,000 gold to buy Vlindrel Hall (which you might not even want) and then finally having to wait for the courier. It's just way too many hoops to jump through to start a quest when I can just start it normally by picking a single lock. I think making it so you only need to help 5 citizens in the Reach to start it would be a better way to do this, especially since it doesn't lock out players who are lower than level 20 or don't want to buy Vlindrel Hall.
"There's an alternative way to receive Mother Hamal's letter: If you help at least 5 people in the Reach region, she will get word of your good deeds too"
I don't play the game thinking "Now I'm going to do X quest". You just play the game, and you encounter quests as you play them. That's the way it should be in my opinion, encountering quests naturally as you're having fun adventuring and questing in Skyrim. But yes, if you just want to do the quest for whatever reason, then go the vanilla route which is still available.
My bad. I missed that part of the description. And yeah I agree with you that the best way to play probably is to just let the quests come naturally. Unfortunately when you've played the game as much as I (and many others) have and you know it like the back of your hand, that's a lot easier said then done. Especially since we know many quests (such as this one) offer rewards and perks that help you build your character a certain way. It's one of the reasons why a lot of people wish they could play Skyrim for the first time all over again. Anyway thanks for the quick response. I'll give this a go.
When is the choice for Agent of Dibella meant to come up? I completed the quest and got the perk, increasing damage against "the sex I'm attracted to", but if there was a dialogue option to choose this, it never happened. I delivered Fjotra to the temple, Hamal told me to go pray at the alter, and I received the perk like the vanilla quest normally goes. I do have The Heart of Dibella - Quest Expansion - Ace Bonus installed and I wonder if it may be outdated and causing this error.
You need to ask about the reward during the dialogue. Seems like you missed that. As of version 1.05 you should be able to change the reward after the quest too by talking to Mother Hamal.
you get the letter is just a flavour thing, there's no quest for that, when you read the letter just go to the temple the priestess will run up to you, and tell you to sit then you sit and wait
So the letter really doesn't do anything? Because I sold it almost immediately after I read it, but I did read it, and went to the temple, Senna was there on the main hall, and I was only offered vanilla dialogue choices. Additional dialogue about choosing the required boost appears if I break in, speak with Hamal, and then speak with Senna on the way out. Do I need to arrive and then wait for Hamal to come out of the Inner Sanctum, is she the one I need to speak first? Will she even come out, or did I break the quest by selling the letter in the first place?
I played with the mod with the new condition, of helping people out and becoming thane, and I got the quest fine. However, after rescuing the girl, when I got back to the temple the door to the inner sanctum remained locked. I couldn't lockpick it open because the girl kept reporting it as a crime, i had to use the console to unlock the door so I can finish the quest.
Have any of you experienced this? Is there a way to update the mod to unlock the door when Hamal first reaches out to you?
@aarchieee Actually, I opened the console, click on the door, then typed unlock. That unlocks the door. This was 2 weeks ago but iirc getting in doesn't count as trespassing in-game anymore even if you unlock via console.
this mod is amazing!!! definitely a must-have in my load order each playthrough
however, as a male player who plays male characters, i would like to request some sort of a failsafe to make sure mother hamal is always in the main hall of the temple until fjotra is returned, because half the time i enter she's in the inner sanctum where i have to pickpocket or lockpick into, and as a male character who likes to follow the rules on certain playthroughs, it kinda takes me out of it to do that and/or console command moveto player.

JumpHey you! You're finally awake!
You were trying to watch my summary of the last 3 years of modding right?

Yeah, this mod needs to be updated
however, as a male player who plays male characters, i would like to request some sort of a failsafe to make sure mother hamal is always in the main hall of the temple until fjotra is returned, because half the time i enter she's in the inner sanctum where i have to pickpocket or lockpick into, and as a male character who likes to follow the rules on certain playthroughs, it kinda takes me out of it to do that and/or console command moveto player.
thank you for the mod though, amazing work!!!
