Freedom for Nightingales

Description
Allows to free living Nightingales from the Oath to Nocturnal for Dragon Souls. Nocturnal sells a spell to summon Mercer Frey.

If you feel uncomfortable knowing that your soul is being sworn to serve a Daedric Lord, you can change it. After Skeleton Key related quests are done, Nocturnal can be summoned in the Twilight Sepulcher. Offer her Dragon Souls, and she will agree to free you from the Oath. You won't be a Nightingale any more. The entrance to the Twilight Sepulcher will be closed, you will lose your Nightingale armor and abilities. But freedom is better.

Brynjolf and Karliah can be released too. If you talk to them before have bought your freedom from Nocturnal, they have appropriate dialogues. Brynjolf isn't happy about all this in any case, so once you've talked to him - Nocturnal will accept payment for his soul too.
Karliah is a Nightingale from the very beginning and wishes to stay one. So normally you are unable to discuss Karliah with Nocturnal. But if her relationship rank to you is 4 (which is lover) or/and you two are married she won't be pleased with her destiny, and also can be freed from the Oath.

For Dragon Souls you can buy a spell to summon Mercer Frey as your ally. He fights for you and his only presence improves your skills. But randomly he will go hostile (you killed one another, after all). What you gain while he is with you:
. better sneaking
. better pickpocketing
. lockpicks are unbreakable
. noise from armor is reduced
. walking and running doesn't affect detection
. can pickpocket equipped items and weapons
. you don't trigger pressure plates, but he still does, :) and :(

I made it for my main playthrough, but maybe it will be useful for some of you. I apologize for mistakes in English, bet they are. Lipsync for Brynjolf is awful, I will remake it. In the code there are some places which I will remake too (it works, but it pains to look at how it was made).

Fun Fact: This mod's option to release db's soul from nocturnals control is meaningless to db lore-wise, as DB being a fragment of Akatosh is schleuded to be claimed back to him from the start, which takes priority over any daederic princes contract.

As Listener, I do believe that Sithis has first claim to my soul. He is also the oldest entity in existence, so I would think he has seniority over all others. :)

Ya, that is what I am trying to figure out.

Brynjolf is a Nord, I marry him. MY lass is Breton and since she is Daragonborn, she is welcome at Sovnguard. so rather Nightingale or Freedom from Nightingales, Lass with spend etrnity with her Brynjolf. What more could a lass want????

The entire point of Skyrim is to sell your soul to demon gods, why remove that feature?

Part of my roleplaying venture is to wait for all the daedric princes to fight over my soul once I'm dead. Why would I want to free myself?? :steammocking:

(sorry the reply can't be to long, so I'll need to seperate it to serveral ones.)

I know thie request sounds weird but I no nothing about modding, and I really want to become the grandmaster of the thieves guild (with his soul attached) and then head to Morrowind to meet Sapphire's father. ( I know you can have the story-line without being the grandmaster, but still, it's a role-playing thing.)

Again, thanks for the effort.

(sorry the reply can't be to long, so I'll need to seperate it to serveral ones.)

But sometimes I really miss the legendary heist in White-gold Tower and break the daedric curse and then become the protector of the poors, not a rich bully who have no soul, literally.

So thanks all you guys for showing there are people care about this, too.

And... still, can you release a LITE version for SSE maybe? I mean, maybe without Twilight Sepulcher closing, without summoning Mercer, or releasing Karliah and Brynjoff...etc, without anything that could mess up the game. I just need a dialogue that Nocturnal says "Fine, I'll release you." "I have no interests in your afterlife." something like that.Nocturnal won't even need to show her face.,just some texts would be fine.

Thanks for the reply. It's great to see people who don't feel right about the whole "sell your soul to a daedra" thing. it did raise some discussion years ago but very few modders try to solve this problem, and even fewer ones made a stable version of this. Like most of the community just don't care. I mean, right, it does not give any major impact to gaming experience, but it's a role-playing game, and the quest line just isn't convincing, not enough reason to give up your soul and serve a daedra prince for eternity.

I can get that TES4 and TES5 have very different tone in story-telling. In TES4 you feel like a hero, a champion, a ser knight, you even became a GOD eventually. In TES4 it's all about heroic happy ending. And in TES5, the story tried to tell you that the world is cruel and there is no happy ending. There's different beauty in both of them, I really get it.
