I think something is wrong with the way I did the starting quests, and that's why devourment is acting up when I'm a male character (I don't like being predator.) For instance, you can skip the entire walk with ralof or the imperial guy by sprinting ahead all the way to Riverwood and telling the appropriate NPC before the person who helped you gets there.
You also don't have to talk to the riverwood trader guy to initiate the golden claw quest, there's actually two ways to initiate it: overhearing the bandits in bleak falls barrow, or talking to the riverwood trader merchant. For those of you who still do have it working, can you tell me EXACTLY what you guys did in the starting quests?
because no matter how many times I restart skyrim from the opening scene, it won't let me be swallowed after I reach riverwood. My modlist is below if you need it:
I literally cannot enjoy the mod at all until I know why this is happening, and how I can fix it. (IE: I can't be swallowed, ever. Even if I ask, the NPCs just make a silly face and don't swallow me.)
