Thievery in the Imperial City, MTCThievesGrotto, and Thieves

Post » Sat Dec 10, 2011 4:14 pm

Thievery in the Imperial City, MTCThievesGrotto, and Thieves Guild HQ: Unhealthy Competition all sound like interesting expansions/enhancements to the vanilla Thieves Guild content. I'm wondering if anyone can comment on whether all three can, and should, be played together, or whether some subset of just one or two makes more sense? Can they be enjoyed by a character who doesn't mind a bit of sneaking and intrigue, but whose stats aren't especially geared toward stealth (I'm playing something like a battlemage right now)? Are they all lore-friendly ("Big Tony's Deli" in TGHQ:UC sounds more Sopranos than Cyrodiil)? And are they compatible, with each other, with Better Cities, Unique Landscapes, and with major quest mods? Comments on the Nexus suggest that MTCThievesGrotto conflicts with Heart of the Dead, while Unhealthy Competition when patched still has some minor landscape issues with UL. Anything else to be aware of, that isn't listed on their Nexus pages?

And finally, are there any other quest/story/NPC-oriented Thieves Guild mods you would recommend that tie into the vanilla TG quests and locations, and that can be enjoyed by non-uber-stealth characters?

Thanks much!

You can play them together but they will not necessarily interact with each other - it is not as though your would get a TG overhaul.

I can't speak for Unhealthy Competition but Grotto has a bunch of mod incompatibilities and perhaps even stability issues, but it has been a while since I had it loaded.

Better cities has a Thievery in the IC patch.

Thievery in the Imperial City is one of the better mods I've played. Of course, I haven't actually played the game in several years, so I'm sure there are a lot of other mods of the same or even better quality, but it's still a damn good one.

Can't comment on the listed mods yet because I haven't played any of them yet.

But, you asked for other type Thiefy/stealty mods, check this thread out:

Bump it while you're at it too.
