Happily Emmie After

Description
Happily Emmie After is a mod to the DOS 2 campaign that re-designs the “Finding Emmie” quest, offering players a chance to give Buddy and Emmie a happy ending. The quest begins in Fort Joy and can be resolved before leaving the island, though the epilogue and final wrap up takes place on the Lady Vengeance after escaping.

NOTE: Due to the number of modifications made to this quest, the mod must be enabled before you load into Fort Joy for the first time!

For veteran players, or anyone who wants to experience the quest without completing all the other content in the tutorial or Fort Joy, we also offer the Furry Tails Adventurer's Guide. This additional mod will provide each player with a book that enables quick travel to key locations, the ability to quickly finish the tutorial or Fort Joy, and provide power ups that grant Pet Pal, leveling, or gold.

Finally, if you are a fan of Buddy and Emmie, be sure to read this article from Rock, Paper, Shotgun about Pets Immortalised in Video Games by Their Developers. It features the real life backstory for Buddy and Emmie and how one Larian developer brought these characters to life using the personalities of his own dogs.

We hope you enjoy this re-worked version of the quest and welcome your feedback!

What other animals deserve a happy ending?

@yolli11 #jinjiyanazadi - Thanks so much for the comment. I agree that Nimue did a terrific job with the writing. :-)

Thank you so much for the mod. I needed some help to finish the quest, but worth every step to completion. :meadowlovebadger: I needed this happy end and you guys did a great job writing it :happystar2022:

@cmalimartinez, all I have to say is ❤️😭❤️. I'm so glad you enjoyed it and appreciate you stopping by to share!

@cmalimartinez - Glad you found the real ending :-D Seeing those puppies still brings a smile to my face every time, that scene was really fun and satisfying to write. Nothing wrong with a few happy tears <3

OMG, I just finished the quest yesterday and I was in tears! I thought when Buddy and Emmie ran off on the beach that was the end of the quest, but then I captured the Lady Vengeance and then I saw the "real" ending; after that, I ugly cried (in a good way).

Oh, . I've been looking for blankets on beaches, swamps, dungeons...orz
Windemere  [author] Jun 16 @ 5:21pm 
@Slein Jinn - Interesting take. :-) I just couldn't give up on Emmie, and in my mind Buddy would not move on so quickly so long as there was a chance to be reunited with his true love. But perhaps another twist would be for Birdie to be best stud at their wedding!

@千秋此意 - Sorry I missed your question earlier. Here are some hints, with each one giving more specific clues

1. The blanket is in the vicinity of Sahelia's Cave.
2. The blanket is in the area with the frog encounter in Sahelia's Cave.
3. The blanket is in Mody's Fort, which is in the area with the frog encounter in Shaelia's Cave. Look for the ladder up to a platform that requires a jump or teleport to get up there.

[1/2] (What kind of limit is 1000 characters?)

Google seems to suggest maybe I'm somehow the only person on Earth looking for this—seems inconceivable; maybe I'm weirder/more creative than I thought?—but what about introducing Birdie to Buddy? I get why the base game doesn't let you "save" Emmie—that she's meant to be too far gone to go back. I also get why everyone finds that such an unsatisfying conclusion to such a gut-wrenching quest—no closure, no one moves on. It's reasonable to break our hearts about Emmie, but it's not so reasonable to just leave us heartbroken with no light at the end of the tunnel the way the base game does. But it seems like there's an obvious solution staring us in the face that addresses both the original design and people's dissatisfaction.

[2/2]

Why not introduce Birdie to Buddy? I feel like Buddy and Birdie are perfectly set up to be mates. Buddy is older, maybe wiser, but still kind and overflowing with love that really, desperately needs an outlet. And Birdie really needs someone to love him and be patient with him. Having them become mates would give you the much needed closure on both of these quests. You'd know Birdie has someone to look after him and help him get back on track, and you'd know Buddy isn't alone anymore.

Anyway, I intend to try this mod for my next playthrough, as it seems to be widely acknowledged as the go-to solution for this quest. I just thought I'd toss in my two bits here since it seems like every discussion about this quest anywhere on the interwebs inevitably ends up pointing to this mod.
