Same issue as previous comment, can't seem to get Seto's early recruitment to work. She either rebuffs for not meeting whatever the requirement is or the conversation simple ends without an answer nor recruitment.

It used to work but for some reason I can't get Seto's early recruit dialogue to trigger at all now. Tried on 2 different saves (different characters and everything), tried importing, nothing. Got 22 relaitons with Shek, have all stats higher than Seto but after I say "But what about what you want?" it just ends the conversation.

Its supposed to have her evaluate you and reject you if you don't meet the requirements or offer to join you if you pass, but no matter how many times I hit I repeat the conversation nothing happens.

Hello, I would like to translate the mod into french. First, do I have your permission? Second, When I am in FCS I check the base files and your mod, then choose translation. But how do I save the files to only have a translation of your mod and not everything from the base game translations? Can someone explain that to me? The translation guide doesn't help for that part because it assumes the game doesn't have a base translation.

If I check only your mod, of course it loses a lot of references and not everything shows up to be translated.

Anyone know if this is able to be turned on mid-save?

It always seemed to me that Seto had too little original dialogue for a unique recruit, anyway thanks for creating this addon.

howdy howdy, I'm not sure if this mod is still being updated or if you're keeping an eye on it, but I opened this in the FCS to make sure the dialogue wouldn't kill me on impact. I've been burned by dialogue mods before, so it never hurts to be safe.

I ended up cleaning up some typos and minor word choice quibbles in the dialogue, but didn't mess with the overall *contents* of this mod at all. Taunting the heir apparent of the Shek Kingdom (or just being a vulgar ass) is the kind of reckless nonsense kenshi lets you do in vanilla, and you didn't go too far imo.

The problem is the only way I'd be able to share these grammar fixes is to post a mirror, or share my version of the .mod file with you directly.
I'll default to keeping this version of the mod to myself, unless you give me the go-ahead one way or the other.

War maidens mod makes it much easier to get seto

The recruitment doesn't trigger in spite of having met the requirements and picked the correct dialogue path. I'm pretty sure this mod is broken.

i like this, shes such a hard to get and interesting recruit but she doesnt have much unique dialogue, great job!

Does this fix the bug that prevents her from joining your party in the first place?

Literally exactly what I was looking for.
Do I need to import the game, if haven't recruited her yet? I know with changing stats of a character you would need an import for the changes to take effect, but I don't know about dialogue packages.

My game kept crashing whenever I tried to talk to Seto after handing in the bugmaster. I fixed it by deactivating your mod, don't know if it's a bug or a conflict with another mod but just I just let you know

over-the-top extremely obtuse and vulgar flirting is part of shek culture, bunch of flatskins in the comments don't get it

Can we get patch notes? Always curious what you've added to Seto's dialogue pool.

Best Goirl

Those lines are based, don't listen to the haters.

Apologies if this is the wrong mod, but it seems this is the mod which starts with Seto asking if you're admiring her horns.

Could we have an alternative dialogue option with her where we don't act like a creepy pervert to even talk with her? It's really cringey and so... out of place compared to the tone of the rest of the mod description.

It's your first interaction with Seto and does a disservice to the rest of your efforts thereafter.

With this mod you can recruit her before turning over the bugmaster or the Pheonix but you need at least 20 relation with the Shek and your character needs to be stronger than Seto, and you need to pick the right dialogue choice.

This will immediately make the Shek your enemies as you are effectively stealing their princess. Once you reach a higher level of relation with the Shek, Seto will leave with you and you will not become enemies with them.

The recruit dialogue at higher relation with the Shek is effectively a bug fix for vanilla. Sometimes in vanilla the dialogue for Seto to join your faction wouldn't trigger, so this adds in a dialogue tree that comes in after the stone golem gets the bugmaster or the Pheonix

Iirc you have to be at 70 relations with the Shek Kingdom, I'd double check her wiki page to be sure. Capping and handing in either bugmaster or phoenix gets you a lot of good favor with them, and you can make up the difference by handing in bounties.

what are the requirements for recruiting her before handing the bugmaster/phoenix in?

Is this mod compatible with Genesis? Seems Esata isn't talkable anymore after I added this in (After talking to her upon giving up Holy Lord Phoenix to the kingdom)

I think you've done a really good job capturing Seto's personality. The mix of dutiful and sorta naive warrior sworn to your protection as the Battleborn is really fitting. I hope you keep expanding on her pool of dialogue.

no idea, never used genesis. Modifies seto's dialogue and some biome dialogue. I would just put this before genesis in your load order, so that anything that genesis does would overwrite this mod. Might miss some of my stuff, but it shouldn't affect genesis, unless they modify seto.

Is this mod compatible with genesis?

Safe to add mid-gamer without needing (reset Killed NPCs) import?

Yeah I use all of those no issues

Is this compatible with Dialogue+, Dialogue Expansion Project, Let's Talk and CTF Dialogue?

Extremely needed, thank you so much!

nanogiraffes a good dude props for shoutin him out

Yeah you will just miss some stuff that will only work if Seto is still an npc

Will this mod work if I have already recruited Seto?

Thank you.

That absolutely alright. Please go ahead!

This is a machine translation.
Hello, I am using MOD to make this great set cute.
I have translated this MOD for myself, but I would like to get permission to publish a Japanese translation of this MOD patch to spread its splendor, is that okay?

I think your character needs to be stronger than her and you need something like 10 reputation with the Shek. After that she should join you.

So on another file I'm trying to recruit her early (I'm ok with making the Shek mad for awhile) but I'm not sure what the requirements for her to join are. I got the stat requirements apparently since she stopped saying I'm not strong enough but now she says she needs to know me better. Can you please tell me what I need to do now?

From the mod description: "Added NPC recruitment dialogue. Now you can chat with Seto when you first meet her and potentially recruit her without capturing the Bugmaster or the Holy Pheonix."

arn't you suppose to capture the bugmaster or the pheonix from the holy nation?

When I tried to recruit her without 80 reputation she says she will only follow one who is worthy. What's the requirement for her to join?

I think you could more clearly communicate what's going on while also developing Seto's character here. As a rough example:

[PC]: So, what happened?
Seto: Shager planned one last charge with his weakened army.
Seto: He believed it the only way to redeem his honor.
Seto: Bayan knew it to be an honorless mass suicide, and said so.
[PC]: Fighting words for a Shek. What happened to him?
Seto: He remains advisor to Esata the Stone Golem.
Seto: But only because she came to his defense.
Seto: "This man speaks... [continue]

We lose some of your imagery about harpoons, but that amplifies the bit near the end where Seto talks about the three day battle. If she only provides exciting details during the combat, and tells the politics bit with less enthusiasm, that reveals more about her personality.

Tonally, it looks like you're going for a playful main character and a more military Seto. I like this choice, but it's a little messy in this snippet.

Seto's "Truth sister" line doesn't really fit the matter-of-fact style of the rest of her monologue here. I'd expect the PC to be saying a line like that.

Seto doesn't use any contractions, which fits. The PC's line "It is not like we are going anywhere" is formal and looks like a Seto line. "It's not" seems better.

Seto says that the suicidal charge would gain back Shager's honor, but two lines later says that such a charge would leave the dead Shek "with no honor."

The line between them, beginning "Bayan, Esata's advisor..." conflicts with the opening lines of the monologue where Seto makes it clear she will refer to Esata as the "Stone Golem". It also has three characters in it, which is confusing in an eight-word line.

"Bayan, Esata's advisor" is also a weird thing for Seto to say if she knows you've met Bayan. This is likely.

This is long, I had to break this up into three comments, please feel free to delete or ignore. I like the idea of this mod but didn't get past the preview screenshot. I mean this criticism constructively and encourage you to keep making mods.

The dialogue in your preview has several errors in it.

The very first line is missing a period at the end. Ending punctuation seems to come and go. There does not seem to be a stylistic reason for this.

Lines 2 & 3 by Seto use different cases: "the Stone Golem" vs "The Stone Golem." The lowercase 't' is appropriate here, but consistency is more important.

"Suicidal" is spelled wrong.
"That's" requires an apostrophe.
It should be "weakened army", not "weaken army."

There are missing commas all over the place.

@Red Cloud. I was running through Dreg, and do not have Seto but one of my characters (Ruka) said what are you looking at Seto? Also, entering into Vain one of my Human characters started talking about the Shek Empress even though I have never talked to Esata.

I imported anyway, bugmaster disappeared but they still let me recruit Seto and ally with the shek so I'll take it lol

This mod shouldn't affect esata or Bayan as I didn't modify their dialogue. I have heard of other people having the issue where they can't find them. Sometimes esata moves around ones the world states have changed and she can end up in bad teeth. I did mod in a work around for recruiting Seto. If the world state for the bug master being dead is true then you can talk to her and recruit her with no penalty to relationship with the Shek. I did this because sometimes even when you hand in the bug master the dialogue for recruitment doesn't trigger and their is only one shot at it. This way if it doesn't trigger you can talk to her afterwards anyway.

I don't know if it's because of this mod but i don't have anything else that touches Estata, but I can't find her or Bayan inside the shek HQ. I already have the bugmaster on my shoulder so if I import to fix it I will probably lose him and have to do it all over again. Help?

Not gonna lie, I loved that dialogue in the preview. subbed

So you can now recruit her without being deemed worthy? yep that would annoy them alright lol.

@Mr. Bunny. In vanilla you need to hand in either the bugmaster or the Holy Phoenix to the Shek Kingdom, and not be allied with UC , HN, Traders guild, slavers. The problem is a lot of the time the trigger to have Seto join the party is buggy. So I added dialogue work arounds so that if you do turn in the bugmaster or the Phoenix you can recruit her by talking to her.

can you tell me how do I properly reqruit Seto??
