Lottery - Duel Mode

Resolve your conflicts like a true Nord! Fight a single battle with any NPC, without breaking faction ties and with no strings attached. Killing opponents is optional.

Classic Edition + Xbox Edition

Let's talk about Roggvir.

In his final moments, watching the toxic crowd, Roggeville chose his final words to speak of tradition. According to him, the challenge of fair fight is a custom in Skyrim and should be respected even from a legal point of view.

Despite this, we were unable to present our own challenge to the NPC. Our closest option is to commit murder and then reload the previous save.

This is not good enough. This mod fills that gap.

[What this mod does]

This mod adds (and automatically unlocks) the shout of a single shout to the player. When all three words of the shout are used, NPCs in the player's crosshair are challenged by the player to a fair fight. In order for the target NPC to accept the challenge, they must maintain a negative relationship with the player. Don't worry too much, though, as it's natural to duel someone.

If the NPC accepts the challenge (read: has a negative relationship and is not currently following you), you will fight them. Their allies won't jump to their aid, and their faction won't declare you an enemy. When the player character or enemy's health drops below 20%, they will become unconscious. The battle ends here. If you win the duel, you can choose to perform the downed target by attacking it again (which will kill the essential), or let them survive by holstering the weapon. If you lose, NPCs will allow you to move on and continue their careers.

Duels are not without risks. If enough damage is done to a weakened enemy, there's a chance that you or one of your combatants will accidentally kill the other. If you kill your opponent in a duel, there will be no bounty or aggression. It was a fair fight and people died fighting.

As a bonus, if you enter a duel without a weapon equipped, your opponent will follow suit, allowing you to freely engage in fistfights with NPCs. These also tend to result in death less frequently than typical duels. When opponents are injured, they feel desperate. Based on its base confidence, health thresholds can be implemented. Once they exceed this threshold, they have a chance (proportional to their health percentage) to ignore that they are in a fist fight and hurl weapons at you.

Any changes regarding NPCs will not be made permanently to enable them to participate in duels, so it is safe to use on any NPC. If you want to keep them alive, be careful not to kill them. (Please note, this is not limited to humanoids. If you want to drink the dog, then I challenge the animals)

To toggle between allowing your followers to help in a duel or not, simply use the first word of the shout. By default, the mod does not allow them to help. To toggle between allowing base NPCs to be killed, use the second word of the shout.

Subconscious enemies will be plundered. Just target their body and activate them. An escape system has been added, which works very similarly to the despair system mentioned above. Once an enemy's health exceeds a certain threshold (depending on confidence), they have a chance to escape combat, proportional to their remaining health. You can chase a fleeing target and hit them, knocking them down, or let them put some space between the two of you, ending the duel. Finally, a sparring system was implemented. Equipped with challenge shouts that activate friends or powerful targets, you can choose to talk to them or remain silent. If you remain silent, you'll find that the system works essentially the same as a duel, only this time there's no pain or risk of death.
