I have a personal Starting Overhaul that totally removes the need for Helgen, so I've been working on a Mod to remove the town entirely. What I want to do is wall-off where the town used to be, and remove all of the pathing for the area so it is inaccessible by normal means.

My issue is, last time I played the Clavicus Vile Daedric Quest, his Dog lead me through Helgen-- what I'm wondering is, if I do this, will the Dog find another way around, via the available paths, or is it programmed to go through Helgen somehow, and therefore it will end up running into a wall and "break" the quest?

whoah....

so, for the dog: as long as there's a working navmesh, possibly with preferred paths set, he should find his way.

the REAL question is though:

you really think that's gonna be the biggest problem you'll get when completely removing an entire town...? )
