Whilst a great idea and lots of it is awesome I've experienced a few issues I don't know if are intended.

One kind of Shadow Knight guy Tyr Lochel or something was on a killing spree in Cheydinhal, only to be battered unconscious again and again (this one resolved itself after he'd killed a Dragon Knight and the guards had walked a bit further away from him after he was made unconscious)

In the Shrine, the entrance to the common room, the door mesh is one-sided in a way (it looks fine when leaving the room but it's invisible from the other side, aka looks a bit wierd)

Talking to one of the Shadow Squires, asking one of them to fetch me Namira's Humor "Tears" and then I was attacked by Ed-something, the guy who doesn't respect you but gives you a quest (sidequest? as Mirage told me to go rest for a few days but he still gave me that one, fetch bowl of Plague from a cave) I then proceeded to kill him, the shadow Squires, Dark Guardian and another guy but got no message or bad effect from that (I had on TGM then as I was going to re-load)

Just thought I'd tell =) still awesome though!

hmmmm. tough fix, OOD can detect if you're evil or not and Tyler likes to wander the streets at night. He is just flavortext really for anyone who has read any of the Godslayer Chronicles (shadowfall/hinterlands). Thanks for bringing this to light.





Weird, I'll check it out but probably not much I can do about this one. Cinkei atm is at work making more Armor choices for the haven so I wont ask him to fix it if it is a mesh problem.


Yeah ethin at the current version 1.03 has a "setdisposition -80" line in his code when he tells you about the quest, I have no clue how that was included but will get rid of it asap. Sounds like you had alot of fun killing them lol!. I envy you! *loves to hate ethin, that prompus ass >.> treats my master thief like she's a furry little kittycat. wait till i stab his him in the neck while he's sleeping, that will show him who needs catnip! >.>

I just loaded RoS and noticed that the Namira shrine map marker was removed. I have just done the ring quest with this level 10 character; is that going to be a problem with my ongoing character?

No, it was removed because the Shadows have returned and Namira has hidden her presence from the outside world, the shrine and all are still there however now you have to travel through teh storm and darkness to reach them.

I found out why I was still having problems: You changed the name of the mod in the update! I was like "How the hell can I be getting that mod to do anything when it is disabled? What? I have two copies of it? How the f... Oh, that's how", and I frowned.

Yeah in the latest version (i got, from the 5th) is called return of shadow.

And the one before that is called return of shadows. :blink:

Or mabye its the other way around... Im not sure

Version 1.03 is the correct version and the right title is "Return of shadows" with the s

Downloading, looks like a very good mod, and everything looks great.

Anthrop Gald's Goods updated
7 different Namira's Scythes Added
Glitch after collecting Souls Fixed (hopefully or i'll stab cs)

If any one has any ideas of thinks they would like to see added to chapter one feel free to post them ! We work to give you the most pleasing sinful evil mod in Oblivion.

Also, Thanks everyone for your comments, those of criticism and positivity. Those that delighted in what they saw and those that found flaws. All has been appreciated and very helpful.

this update includes some pretty good content.

Downloading now, going to try it out soon.
Looks very promising.

Wow looks really good, have to try it out next time i play my evil char

I love the haven! Its awesome! And when you kneel, the effect is awesome. (You know what im talking about :toughninja: )

Do you use custom eyes for some of them? Cuz i use a mod that adds alot of eyes, so it could be that mod adding the *weird* eyes.

Awesome mod! Keep it coming! :woot: :woot:

If you enjoy Return Of Shadows PLEASE vote for it as mod of the month!

Guys, I'm working on adding some more content to the mod myself. Tc can add his shops, but you just wait until I get through adding my goodies to the haven, they'll have you drooling on your keyboard while exploring the new rooms in the haven (It's just stuff being added to the haven, there shouldn't be any new meshes, so I'll release as a hotfix for a smaller download). Anyway, we have added a massive amount on content to this mod in just weeks. If there is anything you want in Chapter I please let us know so we can get it added. We are working mainly on the haven and adding more eye-candy. New quests will go in Chapter II, though we have an outline for whats going in it, we might be able to squeeze in a few good requests.

Anyway, in the near future, expect those promised scripts in the readme. Again, any changes I make will be released as a hotfix so you don't have to download the same thing again (it'll probably just be a replacement ESP). The changes will also be merged into the main download packages so anyone just getting this mod won't have to get 2 packages. Basically, there's no reason to wait to download as I will make any updates so easy a Dre'mond can do it.

if anyone needs any help with anything please just ask

I'm having a strange glitch...after I'm given the quest to kill Strongwolf, I beat him up a bit then he teleports me somewhere high in the air above an arena and I'm stuck there. Can't move or do anything just sit there in the air. Any ideas?

We're constantly working to add content to this mod, I hope you've enjoyed it so far!

Yey another update. I take it that this won't reset my current progress (which is not much I'll admit, but I started a new char and it was tough in the FCOM environment heh)?

*wonders why some people are still so inconsiderate as to post spoilers and ruin the experience for others * *sighs*

Please remove your post with the spoilers as even with tags people may still accidentally view them. If you have questions that relate to a quest simply private message me and I will do what I can to answer them for you.

Make sure you have installed version 1.05 of the mod and that you have OBSE version15 or higher installed on your computer.


If you pay attention to the Npcs, strongwolf in your case, he will tell you the reasons why he does what he does.

It shouldn't

The post that tc2r is referring to has been deleted.

Thanks Y,


The 1.05 files have been uploaded onto Tesnexus which is also back up. Enjoy
