Eheh, obviously with mods you can find lots of ways. There is also a mod which allows you to fall from great heights by making you almost immortal for a few seconds while making you unconscious at the same time.

On most steep hills you can walk obliquely across and slowly down the hill without taking any damage while trying to go straight down may get you killed.

Exactamundo!

didn't work. nvm, i got down somehow lol

Probably your character has low agility or athletics or acrobatics or whatchamacallit.

Yea thats pretty amazing how Bethesda made a form of natural mountain climbing skill where as certain skills improve it gets easier to go up mountains and go down without getting hurt. Maybe in TES V we'll see wall climbing like TES 2 DAGGERFALL

My level 19 character is just about ready to try his luck at Cybiades once more this weekend. Hopefully he'll do better then my previous level 7 character


Hail Deathless Aphrodite! Bringing movies to life in virtual reality worlds.

Go at it and let me know! Break the villagers free once more! And make raw meat of all those werewolves!

WOW! I've finally begun this quest. It's already awesome although my char is too weak to continue the quest at this stage (He's level 8).



Thanks already for the mod, Deathless A.

thank you for the second chapter, gotta try it out, it's been a while since the last time i've played oblivion, but i think, it's time to revive it again

btw. do you consider introducing a level requirement for the pc in order to be found by dinillo?
i think it might help fixing the little glitch with meeting him with your newly created character at the beginning of the game.

anyway, keep up the excellent work!

Thanks to you, and if you liked the first part, wait till you see the second episode!



That's a very interesting idea actually. I like it a lot. Gotta take notice of this, thanks!

Well, I guess I'm just weird.
The way I play my characters don't know about all the quest. I don't seek them out actively, but either I stumble upon them or the quest giver finds me.

There seems to be a bit of a difference between MW and Oblivion modders in this regard, though. I can remembers at least two good mods from MW, where a messenger tracks you down once you're above a certain level/fame/rank.
And installing new mods in an on-going game is alway less healthy for the stability of the game.

I had to give up my first Oblivion character, as I found out that playing a good hearted, pure fighter with a 2H weapon was just too frustrating, especially the Main Quest was hopeless.
So I never got to Anvil.

Now I'm playing a Necromancer, so I will have to turn him down politely, since the "begone, peasant" option is not available.

But in my next game playing a good guy I'll defintely give this mod a shot, even though I don't have as good memories from Daggerfall as most of the other old farts...

Ok, I've just made a version for you: you can find it here.

http://www.deathless.it/mods/cyb/CybiadesLevelcap.zip

This adds a level cap: Dionillo won't look for the player before he's level 10, and won't even talk to the player (besides a simple greeting) before he gets to level 10.

When you try it out, let me know how it goes.

Thanks, I will!

Great!

This is a great mod, Deathless, although I found the first one too short, and the island was lifeless. Maybe you should add some deer or wolves besides the ocassional mudcrab. I'd like to live there, but I'm a huntress, so I need something to hunt.

I'm not sure I understand what you meant in the other thread about losing some textures if I'm using exnems.

Well actually I wanted the island to be quite on the barren side, so I didn't put many animals there. I may add something to do recursively there, but my intention was mostly to create the setting for a quest and not to give the player a place to return to, the tower was just a plus. Since the island is quite small, I didn't think it would make much sense to add wildlife.
Yes the first quest is short, but that's because I don't like long quests very much, I wanted to create something brief and shocking, like an Hong Kong gangster movie . To create a much longer quest with the same level of customization and originality I think I obtained, I would have to mod 24 hours a day for a year... Which I almost did to get the two episodes out...

About exnem, there are some body replacers which use another folder instead of overwriting vanilla textures. I'm not sure about exnem, I never use body replacers, but I know (thanks to Hellbishop) that Robert's male body makes some tattoed bodies I created look like plain bodies, and stuff like that. I'm not positive this happens with exnem too. For instance, in the village there is a girl with a totally scarred body because of arson, you should check out if her body is like that or looks like a plain body to see if exnem brings the same problem.

I just finished the second episode, and I have to say, I liked it alot. I found it better than the first. It was more difficult too, as I died multiple times. The dungeon was just incredible with some excellent textures and artwork. The maze was my favorite part, and the part I was stranded on for awhile. I was lost for 2 game days in there, hehe. It was scary too, with the werewolves howling, it being really dark, and the possibility of never finding my way out and starving to death. I'm using a hunger mod and I was almost out of food, so I really could have died down there...but I like that. Adventures like that really get you to role playing, you know.

The background sound effects(haunting voices, growls, screans and moans, and snake hisses) was incredible as well, for both chapters. It reminded me of Doom in a way, and the scattered bones laying about when you were walking to that tower in the first episode.

The creatures you added were great too, especially the giants and the giant clanfears. I liked the Godzilla sound effects the giant clanfears made, lol. It was funny, but alittle out of place. You could tell it wasn't actually coming from the creatures, but I'm not going to take away points because of that.

The voice actor, although lacking some emotions in places, was sixy, the voice I mean. Well, I liked all the voices.

The sword you acquire at the end of the dungeon is now my weapon of choice(nice texture, BTW).

Now I have some questions; How do I get Modaxe's ring out of my inventory? And can I bring some of my CM partners here, or maybe on the quests whenever I do them again.

Overall, this was an incredible mod, and my first quest mod. I just wished it had been longer

Thanks, I'm particularly glad you found the second episode so challenging. And that you think my voice is sixy .
About Mordax's ring, it's still a quest item so you can't get it out.
You can bring your partners in the first part of the quest, although the quest is not done for that so it would be a little quirky. I think you can bring them on the second part too, into the dungeon. You can bring them to the island, if they have a teleport function of some sort.
About the duration of the mod, as I've said, I decided to choose quality over quantity for this one.
Thanks for all your kind words.

Am I in the right bit?

Just downloaded the mod, the two files thing, and created an omod in OMMG. Everything looks fine but I can't get the game to start. I think I read that you have to hang around in a town for a day before someone approaches you. I did this in Chorrol and Anvil but no-one comes up to me.

Do I have to do something else or is there a patch or something for this?

Thanks in advance

Emma

No there's no patch, what you described is exactly what you should do. Since the mod has thousands of users and nobody has your problem, I think there may be something wrong with the way you installed the mod. You must have these files in the data folder for the mod to work correctly:

CybiadesDungeon.esp
Cybiades.esp
Cybiades.esm
Cybiades - Dungeon Meshes.bsa
Cybiades - Dungeon Textures.bsa
Cybiades - Dungeon Sound.bsa
Cybiades - Sound.bsa
Cybiades - Meshes.bsa
Cybiades - Textures.bsa

You need to check both esp files for the mod to work. Let me know if this is of help.

Is there plans on any future continuation of this mod? I really enjoyed the first two quests a lot, so here's hoping there are some more to be had.

I've installed this and am level 6. the man invited me to to travel to the island (doubt that counts as a spoiler since it says the game's based on another island!) but I don't want to go yet in case I can't go back or am too low level?

You can embark on your trip to Cybiades at any point you wish, the quest will wait for you.

Still having trouble getting started.

I have all the files mentioned above in the Data folder. They were installed there by OOMG and it looks ok. (Both esp files are tiny KB files; is that right?) Both esp files are checked when I start. I was originally running the latest OOO 1.3 only as an additional mod but I also tried the game with OOO inactive. I also tried the mod with different saves and different cities.

My main tries were with going to Anvil and hanging around the front gate for 30hrs.

I may have to come back to this mod a bit later as it all seems a bit odd. I'm wondering if there is anything else that I might try or check.though?

thx

Emma

Actually, there were plans, I had already started working on chapter 3 (The Lost Island) but right now I seem to have exhausted the sacred fire of Oblivion modding. I'm not really sure when/if it will burn again...
