Description:
DangerSense Ability : Sneak - Marksman Leveled / Sneak Toggled / Hostility Life + Death Detection with Heart Rate Sound FX
Feral Instinct Questline : All New Questline – Discover ‘The Beast Within’ – With Video Cutscenes & Voice Over Dialogue
:: DangerSense Players Guide ::
:: Quick Description ::
· DangerSense "Feral Instinct" is an advanced mod for Oblivion designed to increase the immersiveness and role-playing possibilities by empowering the player with a 6th Sense type Danger Sensing ability.
· The ability is gained through the wearing of a unique item, the Wolfsbane ring. To obtain Wolfsbane you must travel to the Shrine of Hircine (Marked on the Map) and activate the Feral Instinct Journal. You can then decide to obtain the ring through the Questline or receive the ring and complete the quest later. If you decide to come back and complete the quest, the Wolfsbane ring will be removed before commencing.
· The questline features a unique and semi-professional storyline by Statue, with 6 Video Cutscenes between quest stages. You as the player become involved in a sinister and cursed plot to discover a cure to Lycanthropy, which inevitably leads to the discovery of the DangerSense ability.
· Full Voice Acted Dialogue is included and made optional via an inventory added setup item.
· The DangerSense ability is only activated during sneak mode, once sneaking, you have the ability to sense the hostility status of the surrounding targets. This is displayed with a Red Membrane Effect Shader for Hostiles, a Green Membrane Effect Shader for Friendlies and a Light Blue ‘Spirit Essence’ Particle Cloud Effect Shader for Corpses. The effect shaders pulse to signify the targets spirit pulse or life essence, this can be set to 4 seconds or it can level with your skill level, to signify your DangerSense ability increasing. There is also a feature to be able to detect your targets through walls and objects called X-Ray, this can be constant or leveled.
· The range at which you can sense your targets is leveled with either your Sneak level (Assassin), Marksman level (Ranger), or an average of the two (Hunter).
· Also, when you detect a hostile target (and that target hasn’t detected you) a slow heartbeat sound effect will play, signifying your heartbeat. But when that hostile target detects you, then a fast heartbeat sound effect will play, to signify sensing being detected. In addition to this, the effect shader will pulse twice as fast to show you who has detected you. There are optional Heartbeat Sound FX supplied in the Data > Sound > FX > danger_fx > Optional Heartbeats Folder if you want a different sound.
· All of the aformentioned features are customizable through a Message Box menu system that is activated when you remove the Wolfsbane ring. You can set your particular playstyle. What Skill level your DangerSense ability level increases. The range of each DangerSense level. The pulse timing for the effect shaders. X-Ray settings. And you can even turn the shaders completely off and play with just the heartbeat sounds for hostiles or turn the sound effects off as well.
· You must be wearing the Wolfsbane ring and be in sneak mode for the ability to be activated, if you unequip the ring to customize your settings you must remember to re-equip it.
· Below you will find the In-Depth Description of each DangerSense Customization setting.

:: Hints & Tips, Compatibility and Installation ::
Hints & Tips;
· If you are using the Quest Pop-Up Removal mod, you may miss some important information, and will need to check your journal on a regular basis.
· Quest Start Hint: Hircine, whose sphere is the hunt, the sport of Daedra, the greatest game, the chase and sacrifice of mortals; known by the names The Huntsman of The Princes, and The Father of Manbeasts.
· If you want to know what DangerSense level you are at, just go to your ‘Ability’ page.
· Any mods that affect animal behaviour can affect the hostility checks. You may experience Creatures switching back and forth between Green and Red.
· You will probably hear your heartbeat before you see the hostile, this is because you may not be able to see the shader effect yet but you can sense the threat.
Compatibility;
· A brief list of compatible mods includes: OpenCities, OOO, Francescos, Creature Continuum, LG's Unscaled Enemies, G’s Loot mod, Kobu’s Player Leveling, Natural Environments. There doesn’t appear to be any major conflicts with any major mods.
· This mod should work with all previous save games, but I cannot guarantee there won’t be any issues due to other mods that you may have running.
Installation;
· Please delete any Previous .esp Versions!
· Optional new Heartbeat Sound FX are provided in the Data > Sound > FX > danger_fx > Optional Heartbeats Folder.
· Drag the DangerSense.esp and ALL the Texture, Sound, Meshes & Video Folders into your Oblivion ‘Data’ Directory.
· Download and use Oblivion Mod Manager to patch your BSA files and load DangerSense last in the Load Order.
