FAQ
Q. What patch level is required?
A. None, but you should be running the latest patch.
Q. Do I need Dawnguard, Hearthfire or Dragonborn?
A. No.
Q. Do I need any other additional mods or plugins like SKSE?
A. No.
Q. Is this mod stable?
A. Yes. None of the events included in this mod should cause your game to crash unless another mod is somehow interfering. If you come across any problems please do not hesitate to post a message on Nexus Mods or Steam. Sometimes the siege npc's - usually three bandits - may stand still. If this happens let me know what hold you're in so I can check it out. This mod uses the 'EE_' prefix so the risk of a potential script or quest clash should be low.
Q. Is there more to come?
A. Yes. If you would like to suggest a random event post a comment on Nexus Mods or Steam. For now i'm keeping the random events as pretty simple and balanced as possible.
Q. Will the Silver Hand or Vigilants of Stendarr come after me?
A. The Silver Hand will only come after you if you're a werewolf. The Vigilants of Stendarr will come after you if you're a werewolf or a vampire. Only the Vigilants of Stendarr you meet on the road that are specifically trying to purge you will be hostile to you. Killing these Vigilants should not make other Vigilants hostile to you unless you kill them in proximity to non-hostile Vigilants. The Silver Hand will continue to persue you after you have killed their leader. Curing yourself of lycanthropy will stop these two events from occurring.
Q. This mod seems to put a lot of vanilla followers out in the wild. Won't they get killed?
A. Followers and other unique NPCs included in the random events will be marked as Essential for the duration of the random event. When they return to their normal location their status will be set to what ever it was set to before the random event happened. You don't need to worry about them returning safely; they're scripted to return in much the same way as vanilla encounters.
Q. Will this mod increase dragon encounters?
A. This mod adds the chance of a dual dragon encounter, but the risk of encountering this event is intentionally low.
Q. Doesn't the courier already randomly appear on the road?
A. Yes, but not the courier that delivers letters to you. The courier event was added to help him find you if you have the http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/46693/? mod by Arthmoor installed. Once he's done he'll run back to his house/scripted to be returned.
Suggestions
Should you come across any problems with the mod post a message here or send me an email to wyrmstooth@gmail.com.

You do not need to suggest random encounters that are already set up to happen.
Also if you would like to suggest changes to any of the encounters included in the mod for better immersion, let me know and I'll see what I can do.
