Thalmor wizard: “So a naked, starving Khajiit somehow broke into the embassy, took all our garlic and the laundry, then just wandered around confused, demanding to know where the doors are. I don’t know how to explain it, so we’re not telling anyone what happened.”

Stenvar didn't have the mod installed, so every time Doug went through a new door he had to run all the way across Skyrim to get there. That's true loyalty.
Imagine if the NPCs using the doors were also affected by this. You'd keep finding random (dead) civilians in Apocrypha or confused Thalmor in Sovngarde.
Nah, they're absolutely affected by this. But they know where the doors lead, so when a Riverwood guy wants to go sleep, he begins a journey that will take him all the way to Dawnstar, through the Blackreach, turn left at Miraak, and a quick walk between left and right doors of Sowngarde; all to reach his own sweet, sweet bed, just in time to wake up and go all the way back to Riverwood.

Stenvar has been doing side quests while Doug runs around in the background. Stenvar is the true dragonborn. Stenvar in the main character. You are Stenvar’s companion.
This sounds like a fantastic concept for a light novel. Imagine an isekai where the protagonist's "cheat" skill is a passive that teleports him to a random location whenever he goes through a door. Of course the very first door would send him a to a backdoor of the most dangerous dungeon in the world where he finds the endgame loot in a boss reward chest, because he ended up in the room that's AFTER the boss fight.
24:00 Imagine using your fist and a broom to shape red hot metal. Pretty sure squid dad has been messing with you from the start. You never left their realm, just madness left.
I assume that the follower passing through doors thing is affected badly for this, as the exact places are mixed up. I believe it sends followers somewhere between ten feet and over a kilometre away from the player, hence why Doug never saw Stenvar at some maps or it took him a while to arrive or he'd be exactly there with him. These NPCs were never meant to deal with mods as chaotic as these.
Sorry to bring back a comment after 3 months, but followers don't actually go through doors. They're moved to the last door a player used to go into the area, but if its the first time the player is in that area the follower is moved to a default-marked door instead. Since DouguelDouguel isn't entering these areas the intended way, the "default door" the follower is placed at rarely matches the one he comes out of, so Stenvar basically has to clear the entire dungeon just to get back to him. It's why even in the base game, sometimes when you go into an inn or shop, your follower will sprint into screen from a side room or backdoor instead of being next to you (Belethor's in Whiterun is a pretty common candidate, iirc).
god skyrim companions fucking off when you go through doors happens in the base game sometimes and you’ll find them 30 minutes later after you mourned their loss and found someone else then it’s a whole awkward ass reunion i stg
Me: watching Doug’s vod of him running through randomized Skyrim doors. Doug: uploads the highlights version just before I finish the final hour to spite me.
@@yaldabaoth4807 He said in a previous stream that he did play through the game once back around the time it came out. So technically he has met Paarthurnax and defeated Alduin once, just back in 2011 or 2012 or something.
Stenvar is FREAKED that last run was so winnable cus both Falkreath and Dawnstar are part of the overworld cell, he didn’t have to go through any more doors.
A useful tool for this would be some kind of spray paint mod that you can put X or checkmarks over doors with, so you know what doors are prospective of good things.
Every time DougDougDoug uploads I'm happy that this channel exists-I don't really watch livestreams but the edited-livestream format means even more Doug content to watch
