Been looking for some interesting, immersive alternate starts. Thanks for this!

Is all good, but if I remember how it is, you automatically get marked as a slave when you spawn with shackles, whereas you don't if you don't spawn with it.

It's just my preference that you start with it.

I know this mod is pretty old, but I thought it would be worth letting you know that you don't actually need to start with any shackles. When you get enslaved, shackles should be spawned into your inventory and get automatically equipped.

It should wear off, but I forgot if the counter resets if you get recognized.

I just tried the Slave Traders start. Quite fun! Question: I have watched the ex-slave status expire and refresh a few times. Does it ever actually wear off? With 10% slave appearance, I still get chased out of towns, pretty regularly.

I find this mod is a great way to start a new character. You can build up some basic skills during your many escape attempts, and you can find some friends to join your squad if you help other slaves esape. The mod is really fun from an RP perspective.

@Wanaskiwin AI packs are basically what determines how an npc acts.

But anyways I'm about to test this out now. Great idea Blankimedes! I've got no idea why they removed the slave starts in the first place.

AI packs?

dont give AI packs to player controlled players it breaks the game

i think it adds story that u start as an escaped slave. its when the persons life got interesting, then enter the player, the characters life then radically changes.

this used to be an option way back when this game was just startin out. It was the only one I would choose after trying out the start options

Hope it's working well!

I love this dude thanks for adding it

It was indeed the problem, thanks for mentioning the AI!

I think that was the only thing that would cause any problems (other than probably hive shackles and the fact that your character isn't ment to start out as a blank slave).

Ah, I did set the ai as that, i'll see to it. I was trying to figure out *and failing* to get the character to start with the obedient slave job with the slave stat before giving the shackles. Forgot to remove that, whoops.

I guess I spoke too soon. Seems like if you're an ex-slave for Holy Nation, if you go anywhere near a Holy Nation town, the character will try to get back in cage.

I avoided the Holy Nation and with 58 hours left before ex-slave status expire, I got caught by Shek guards for trying to pick lock to their shop. Now I'm a slave for the Shek Kingdom (which I don't even know is a thing. Do Shek even have slaves?)

Now whenever I go near any Shek town, the character will try to get back in cages belonging to the Shek. LOL

I think this happens because you set the AI as "Slave only squad", so once the character become a slave, it will always behave as NPC slave. Not exactly sure since I didn't try to remove it.

It was a fun run tho. Hope you'll find the solution for this issue.

Well, a simple reload seems to fix it. It was really bizarre how she keeps trying to get back to her cage. LOL. Anyway, thanks for the mod. It's a fresh start for me.

I'm currently in Rebirth with this mod. Everytime my character manage to escape from the cage, she'll go right back in it voluntarily.

Even when I ran past the guards at the gates and run away from Rebirth, whenever I leave her alone, she'll try to get back in her cage in Rebirth.

Has this happen to you? I'm going to try to import to see if it still persist. BRB.

Great! Would love to hear if there are any problems that could be mended with basic knowledge on FCS!

Nice one dude. Was thinking of giving a slave start a try for a while now since rock bottom start no longer do it for me. Will give it a try for my next run :D
