To make NPCs friendly in Skyrim, you can follow these steps:
1. Begin by entering the console command by pressing the tilde (~) key on your keyboard. This will open the console interface.
2. To become invisible to NPCs, use the command “tdetect” in the console. This will make you undetectable by NPCs, allowing you to freely interact with them without triggering hostile reactions.
3. Next, you need to add yourself to the faction that the NPCs belong to. This will make them friendly towards you. Use the command “AddToFaction 0001c21c 0” to add yourself to the faction. Replace the faction ID “0001c21c” with the appropriate faction ID of the NPCs you want to be friendly with. You can find the faction ID by searching for the specific NPCs in the Skyrim Wiki or by using the “help” command in the console.
4. It’s important to note that the faction ID “0001c21c” is commonly used for the player faction, so using this command should make most NPCs friendly towards you. However, some NPCs may belong to different factions, so you may need to use their specific faction IDs to add yourself to those factions.
5. Once you have added yourself to the faction, you need to progress the relevant quest to initiate friendly interactions with the NPCs. Use the command “setstage 00022a02 1” to advance the quest to the next stage. Again, replace the quest ID “00022a02” with the appropriate quest ID for the specific NPCs you want to interact with.
6. After setting the stage, locate the lookout NPC and talk to them. This should trigger the quest and initiate friendly interactions with the NPCs.
Remember, these commands are specific to Skyrim and may not work in other games or versions of the game. It’s always a good idea to save your game before using console commands, as they can sometimes have unintended consequences or cause glitches.
Additionally, these commands should be used responsibly and in accordance with the game’s intended play experience. Altering NPC behavior can affect the game’s balance and immersion, so it’s recommended to use these commands sparingly and only when necessary.
Making NPCs friendly in Skyrim involves using console commands to become undetectable to them, adding yourself to their faction, progressing the relevant quest, and initiating friendly interactions.
