Apologies in advance if any of this has been addressed before.
Have a few problems I've been running into and I'm not entirely sure how to fix them or if they're currently being worked on.
1) I have Vore Queens enabled, and while they've been fairly rare out in the Commonwealth, they've been the vast majority of settlers showing up at settlements. Out of 19 people at one settlement, there are 15 Queens there, which seems like its way too much, and I don't see an option in the MCM to decrease their spawn rate. Also sometimes they unequip their stomachs and just look like normal NPC's but naked.
2) As pointed out in an above comment by Rumir, the willing > unwilling dialogue option that starts digestion is too short and does nearly no damage. I suspect this is because most NPC's have a completely basic vore level and as a result have poor acid damage and can't keep things down.
3) On that note, Bria seems to be having this issue with combat swallowing. I haven't experimented with other companions on the new save I made for 3.0, but on previous versions my companions seemed to actually be leveling their vore skill up when using it, but so far it seems like Bria is not. She frequently struggles to keep things down for more than a few seconds, and is doing almost no damage to them while they're in there. I have had to equip her with the Devour weapon to get her to actually eat anyone, as it seems the unarmed devouring isn't working for NPC's, so that may be affecting her damage some.
4) Lastly, I'm having a fairly frequent bug where you ask your predator (from a friendly nom) to digest you, and your health drops and you get the "succumb" message, but the 'death' doesn't actually happen. Instead it pops up the struggle menu like you get when you're combat swallowed, but if you fail it, nothing happens and you can talk to the predator again. Couple times it's even given the "quit to menu" option despite the 'death' still not having properly triggered.
EDIT: 5) Just started having a weird thing happen where Vore Raiders, or any female NPC equipped with a devour item, when they hit me and the "devour" effect is supposed to trigger, my character just turns pseudo-invisible and can't be hit by anything. Context vore still works properly though.
Very much enjoying this new version with a few of the addons merged in though, overall it's a much nicer experience, and I'm really digging the fact we have a functioning Reformation. I know we got the Raider Vore mod partly implemented, and maybe I've been unlucky to not get it yet, but I'd love to see some random encounters like the vore raiders on the bridge that demand you feed yourself to their boss that the mod had. Also, having played with the Zombie Walkers mod which has an optional system to take over settlers if the PC dies, I'm wondering if it'll be possible to implement that for predators if the PC doesn't have or take the Reformation perk? You can kind of do that with console commands and the looksmenu mod using the presets, then disabling the NPC and 'becoming' them, but something more official would be great.
