Best stronghold expansions

Post » Sat Jul 17, 2010 12:05 pm

What are the best expansion mods for the Redoran and Hlaalu strongholds? I already know the best one for Telvanni: Uvirith's Legacy. (I suppose if you think there's a better one you could go ahead and post it, but I won't believe you.)

Edit: Oops, this was supposed to be in the Mods forum. Would the first moderator to see this move it, please?

Renthan Expansion (Braetheon made it) for Haalu. Haven't seen if Redoran ones got finished.

and there is a better telvanni one, its called Buildinig Up Uvirith's Legacy (BUUL) it combines Building up Uirith's Grave, and Uivirith's Legacy, its very good, and also, i dont think there is one for redoran, when i get a little better with the CS i think i might try to make one.

You're right, no love for Redoran stronghold, the most I've found it's a very useful strider outpost, but no Redoran stronghold modifications at all.
I think we're not much "redorans" around the place XD

There are some mods for Indarys Manor if you do a ES search or search on PES. But I have no idea what they are like.

There MUST be some redoran mods, since we French do have mods for Redoran Stronghold (and I think most of them - if not all - are translations of English mods).

Here is the http://morromods.wiwiland.net/spip.php?rubrique51 to these french mods. Don't try to use them (they aren't compatible with the English version of the game), but their names could help you to find the English versions.

Hope this can help you. :)

(I would recommend Redoran Stronghold update + Bal Isra Unleashed)

I'll take a look at those, Raven, and thanks for the linkies :)

edit: I've made a research in PES and found this one by Centurion:
http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=1555

But didn't find the Bal Isra Unleashed nor the Redoran Stronghold Update you mentioned above. I'll take a look at the Nexus. Can you provide the authors names?
Perhaps a research by author would be easier.

I did another research typing "Indarys manor" instead of "Bal Isra" and found this interesting one:

http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=666

I'll take a try at this one.

There are quite a few, apart from the ones Zimnel mentioned:

http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=1360 (also affects the other strongholds)
http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=8252 and http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=8260 by Talus
http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=1165
http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=796
http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=649
http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=840

There are also a couple of mods that add fast travel to Bal Isra:
http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=2549
http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=806
http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=8483

Note that several of these mods appear to have significant problems (dirty GMSTs, broken quests, etc.) so pay attention to the comments and check them before use.

That's why I didn't linked those, Helena, I read the comments in each one, and most seemed broken, buggy or not ended.
It can't be compared with the hugeantic work did in Uvirith Unleashed or even in Rise of house Telvanni, that's why I said Redoran house has no love in modding terms.

I still thought they were worth listing so the OP can decide for himself. I must admit that I haven't tried any of them personally (apart from downloading some of them so I could examine them in the CS). It's true that there isn't really an equivalent of Uvirith's Legacy / Rise of House Telvanni for Redoran - though in terms of dialogue/quests, as opposed to buildings, the http://www.lgnpc.org/ mods expand greatly on the Redoran towns and faction quests. There's one specifically for http://www.lgnpc.org/mod-indarys-manor and it's apparently compatible with most of the stronghold expansion mods.

The Fench versions have been cleaned (every mod uploaded on this website must be clean, that's the advantage of a smaller community :P)

Place Forte Redoran de Centurion (original tittle : Centurion's Redoran Stroghold Extension) was made by... Centurion. :P

Bal Isra Unleashed... is Indarys Unleashed, in its English version.

And finaly, Redoran Stronghold update was made by "MaxiPete". Please note, though, that it was translated in November 2002. So it seems to be a VERY old mod, which explains why it is hard to find...

In case you're desperate and want to try the French mods, there's a kind of translator avaliable http://ressources.wiwiland.net/spip.php?article1006 that should translate enough for the mod not to crash. Of course, the cells name will remain in French, and there might be some bugs, but it should be playable.

You can find it at the bottom of the page, it's called "Le Hotdogizer 4.7 (Fran?ais vers Anglais)" (The Hotdogizer 4.7 (French to English)), between "Le camembérisateur" and "Le choucroutisateur" (first one English to French, second one English to German).

I don't know how it works (never had to use it), and I don't even know whether the readme is in english.. So you might have to try a bit (hope you studied French at school XD). Oh, and the file in .7z, which can be extracted by softwares such as WinRar, 7zip, etc.

Hope this helped you. :)

No, BUUL is used along with UL, not instead of it. BUUL is simply BUUG with a couple of fixes to make it compatible with UL. (I use UL and BUUL in my current game.)
