i have no idea friend. i haven't touched anything skyrim related since 2015. i believe all codes started with the same letters... zx i think they were. he is outside that one big town, the neutral one. whiterun? in the plains. you can find him there and maybe by tagging him you can find his code.

Maevera, the mod is unfinished because my computer freaks out on skyrim and the creation kit. i cannot continue the build. nor can i finish the alternate universe sequel for the hardcore fans of the bystander mod. you probably didn't miss much if you have the journal. every time i included something, i mentioned it in the log. ... aside two or three things you'll probably never find unless you cheat or spend the rest of your life looking for it.

**potential spoilers**

Not really sure where to start with this mod... I went to the outpost, which led to the island, which had "The Way," which led to a group of dudes that I couldn't kill yet..... Found the journal in Whiterun that, I assume, is meant to lead you through the mod. Found the statue in Riverwood with the sword, along with the vault behind it... but at this point, it seems like I prematurely reached the end of the questline? The vault is badass, as are the weapons, and I'm probably just missing something.

Give me some advice, Wes? Is there really any specific order that I should be doing this in and am missing? I feel like I went to the end of the questline the minute I encountered it, becaue judging by the ratings and comments, there's a lot more to it than I've found. x.x Want to enjoy this mod to its fullest, help me out so I can? Thanks in advance.

first town. can't remember what it's called because my skyrim on PC is fucked. there's an island nearby with logging stuff. also nearby is a tomb. also, there's a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot hidden in console starting with ZIX prefixes

enjoy what you get. :) try killing King Kahn. i had a more powerful Ging Kahn in Let The One King Rule follow up mod to this but it was so powerful it destroyed my pc and now i can't even play skyrim, let alone work in the creation kit.
TheThirdReaper 28 Jun, 2014 @ 4:24pm 
The outpost just has a note in it saying that it isnt fineshed
what should i do?
Wes Lesley  [author] 22 Dec, 2013 @ 11:50am 
i don't recall. you can crowbar open the files, and find it? :) or else you can just go to settings, turn down all sound except music, play the sequence and just TrackID™ it or something?
Ksathra 17 Nov, 2013 @ 10:29am 
Well, a little past the trials, but yes. I enjoyed that piece of music during the raw carnage. And sorry for being vague; just trying to be considerate of people who haven't played through the mod yet.
Wes Lesley  [author] 17 Nov, 2013 @ 2:53am 
... in the trial rooms of the Way? uh... hmm...
Ksathra 13 Nov, 2013 @ 4:51pm 
Merely out of curiosity, there's a particularly epic song that plays in only a couple of very specific rooms. It does a fair job of making you feel pretty awesome during the events it's playing in, too. What's the song's name and where did you find it, if you don't mind me asking?
Wes Lesley  [author] 13 Aug, 2013 @ 10:23am 
1/3rd of the way from whiterun to morthal, is Ging Kahn's camp. In a straight line, like a bird would fly.
giant wall of knowledge is alduin's wall, duh.
FIND THE VAULT OFF RIVERWOOD, on the opposite banks. the book you'll find there should cover almost everything. I think.
MickeyD1369 13 Aug, 2013 @ 5:00am 
Thanks Wes...found the light but not the dark yet...still looking lol...found the gift in High Hrothgar... :) sweet bee was looking in the wrong place...still looking in Shor too...others I was wondering about were "no man is an island" is that the statue? written in books but the name is misspelt?? and the 1st of 3 steps on Birds path between centre city to city in mud?? and the "giant wall of knowledge"?? Sorry to be a pest Wes...I know you must be sick of questions for the "riddle-challenged" among us lol
Wes Lesley  [author] 11 Aug, 2013 @ 1:59am 
respectively, light and dark are two swords you find on the benevolent island, in the little house you can access, it has a "little house" in it, you can use the door. find the swords there. you can find the island through the benevolent outpost on the way to what'sitcalled, riverwood? near some falls. shor in the stone is a sword in a stone in shor's stone. house high up is mount hrothgar, check the cabinets. and ... I dunno the rest anymore.
MickeyD1369 5 Aug, 2013 @ 4:19am 
Hey there Wes...I suck at riddles...am stuck in a number of places...light and dark side of the sword...read the bit earlier in the comments but still got nothing...shor in the stone, house high up in the snow winds where whispers rule, the riften Sweet and Bee one...all help greatfully accepted cos as I said...I suck at riddles...thanks Wes :(
Wes Lesley  [author] 17 Jun, 2013 @ 1:02pm 
Check the inns. especially the one in whiterun. The real one. Not the crappy one no-one visits.
cam_clark98 17 Jun, 2013 @ 1:01pm 
where on earth do i find the pamphlets please? got no idea where to find them?
Wes Lesley  [author] 24 Mar, 2013 @ 3:30am 
The next mod, "Let The One King Rule", has an even more powerful Ging Kahn. And an even more powerful army. Because *points and laughs*!
Hope you enjoy the Benevolent Bystander!
Technocrat 23 Mar, 2013 @ 6:16pm 
Without console my Dovahkiin can fly, teleport, force project, mind warp, phase through objects, and stop time. He is also invulnerable, immune to all diseases and negative ailments. His destructive power is such that a single slash of his blade is enough to reduce any being to nothingless. Also, his Fus Roh Dah is on a global scale. He must wear power reduction equipment that reduces his strength, speed, durability, regeneration, and destructive power by a billion fold, yet still Ging Kahn appeared as a harmless fox before him.
Asius 18 Feb, 2013 @ 7:13am 
darn, i only waited 2 days
Wes Lesley  [author] 18 Feb, 2013 @ 3:36am 
or you could wait three days, and they'd "leave" you opening you up to hang out with anyone.
Asius 16 Feb, 2013 @ 7:05pm 
nevermind solved it by using consol command i found, it is set playerfollowercount to 0
Asius 16 Feb, 2013 @ 6:42pm 
I accidently deleted the mod files, and when i reloaded i didnt have sam, after reinstall, she keeps telling me that i already have a follower, any advice
Wes Lesley  [author] 13 Feb, 2013 @ 4:27pm 
Rowdy has some glitches. it's because of his power... roid rage, call it. anyway... in my next mod... the follower is going to blow you away!
Lilibean 13 Feb, 2013 @ 3:27pm 
When I tried to tell Roddy that "We needed to part" he would freak out and attack my horse and anyone around us. In case others have this happening to them, my solution was to take him to a cleared bandit cave and leave him inside. Just remember which one because when you want him as a follower, he will be standing there waiting.

Thanks
Wes Lesley  [author] 2 Feb, 2013 @ 4:57pm 
the pamphlet has clues to find the bystander. the bystander leads to the vault. somewhere in the vault are THREE secrets.
Wes Lesley  [author] 2 Feb, 2013 @ 4:56pm 
The book is hidden. check around the benevolent outpost for clues.
5gaddict 2 Feb, 2013 @ 4:42pm 
book*
5gaddict 2 Feb, 2013 @ 4:42pm 
@Wes, are you referring to the pamphlet, and if not, where can i find this bool
Wes Lesley  [author] 2 Feb, 2013 @ 3:14pm 
Ford Prefect, there's a map to the vault in the book Benevolent Bystander.
Wes Lesley  [author] 2 Feb, 2013 @ 3:14pm 
No, Ducklings. you haven't killed Ging Kahn. All you did was slow down the body he uses in this dimension. ^^ and you made him angry. silly boy.
Technocrat 2 Feb, 2013 @ 3:01pm 
I have once again slain the weakling known as 'Ging Kahn'. After I infiltrated his lair through a back door, I slew the coward with a spell of Telekinetic Execution which propelled the bug at FTL speeds through the above ceiling, into the farthest reaches of Mundus, then finally returning to this realm and crash-landing onto the ground. Afterwards he had to be scraped off the ground, just like the dog droppings I knew him to be. I then turned my back to decimate his entire army with a single cast of Fire Storm, which btw was now a global spell whose range exceeded the entirety of the Benevolent realm, and then went on to obliterate the neighbouring dimensions.
5gaddict 2 Feb, 2013 @ 1:39pm 
I am having trouble finding this vault....


Wes Lesley  [author] 16 Jan, 2013 @ 1:50pm 
You don't find IX. he's not in the game (... yet). you can find Ging Kahn! Try the lighthouse.
dr3nd4r 16 Jan, 2013 @ 1:32pm 
Still can't find the ninth guy, go to the island and search everywhere, only found a couple of awesome swords and a door in the lighthouse that lead me to certain doom. Need help
Wes Lesley  [author] 14 Jan, 2013 @ 4:58pm 
@Deweytr.18 try getting married without having either of them as your active follower at that time. bring a big fucking stick. and go to the Island, enter the lighthouse, make it through to the other side alive. ... bring a bigger fucking stick. and maybe some sort of weapon that isn't shit, like a stick. Like, say, bring an axe. Bring an axe that isn't shit. ... it's 2:00am, i should get to fucking bed.
Ailanthus 14 Jan, 2013 @ 12:19pm 
i love this mod man, it blows my mind, basically adding some challenge to my day o day rampages. only one problem, rowdy and sammeressa go on a killing spree when i tell them to go home, i have rowdy trapped in a cage and sammeressa, well i shouted her off a cliff and have no idea where she is lol but dude keep up the great work!!!
Iris 13 Jan, 2013 @ 9:03am 
Found it! Thanks!
super_chicken42069 13 Jan, 2013 @ 1:00am 
this completely looks like something i desire in games and that is to search for stuff even if its right in front of you i really enjoy games like that because if its just in front of you easy to find then whats the point of the game i like searching for stuff even if the game doesnt have that its habit and i subscribed to this mod in hopes that it will pan out to what i enjoy so if its good ill keep otherwise well yeah
Wes Lesley  [author] 12 Jan, 2013 @ 3:54pm 
@Brettcor : Check out the Outpost. Get low. Find interesting places to hide.
Iris 12 Jan, 2013 @ 3:23pm 
Can I get a hint on the location of the benevolent bystander? I cant figure out any of the clues in the pamphlet- I found the statue, the outpost, and the vault, just havent found the actual thing I'm looking for!
Eru Ilúvatar 11 Jan, 2013 @ 11:38am 
LOL... If 'you' hadn't, I'd be more than a little worried! XD
Wes Lesley  [author] 11 Jan, 2013 @ 11:37am 
I've found it. :3 several times.
Eru Ilúvatar 11 Jan, 2013 @ 11:37am 
Oh, otherwise, great mod... just started checking it out :D
Eru Ilúvatar 11 Jan, 2013 @ 11:36am 
Just wondering if anyone found the 'gift' that's in Whiterun, because I've followed the clue fairly well... "Water under a bridge"... can't find anything. Mmm...
pengboy08 10 Jan, 2013 @ 12:27pm 
thanks i just waned to find those 2 books i figuerd out the clues in the book they wernt that hard to solve ant wait for the next update
SquishyMage 9 Jan, 2013 @ 6:23pm 
I did read, but I didn't see the dungeon thing, just a few treasure maps and a sword. Hopefully it'll be a real challenge. You ever played Dark Souls? If so, is the challenge comparable?
