I am a writer, and I need to know if I can write a story that heavily uses the storyline of this mod. If you do not respond, I will continue writing as if you had given me permission.
For the life of me I cannot get the Cleon dialogue where he leaves the group after arguing with Allecia to trigger. In the mod guide it says to rest/wait but that doesn't seem to work. I would appreciate any insight on this.
Bumping this from previous comments - according to Arilita, resting and waiting is not enough. First there is a 25 min real time timer. So go do something else first. I opted for leaving the game open and training skills. Eventually then resting 1 hour a few times worked for me, for both arguments.
Hi, after escaping the fiend Allecia keeps completely disappearing so I can't continue with her. I am trying to make a series for this mod but will have to end it if there is no fix for this. Moveto player doesn't work. In the guide it says she should be hiding in the throne room but she's not there.
This and RTT are some of my favorite mods. I doubt you check this anymore, Simyaz, but if you do, thank you for these stories. They were honestly very formative back when I played them in 2010 and they still stand up when I play them today. Some of the most memorable moments from my Oblivion playthroughs come from your mods. I'm watching my fiance go through a playthrough of Oblivion and he cried at the end of RTT - I can't wait to see what he thinks of ToTF.
A few notes for anyone who wants to know more but doesn't want to read all the comments: [Minor Spoilers]
You need compatibility patches with Better Cities and Unique Landscapes. Better Cities' patch comes bundled in with the main BC download. Unique Landscapes has a patch in their Patch Compilation.
You may want the ToTF quest delayer. In fact, I recommend it - the story makes more sense if you've reached a decent level and done a decent amount of quests already. Alternatively, don't activate it until you're ready.
The mod does not shun female characters. There are very good explanations for why people are saying things like "I think you're him." and it has nothing to do with failing to recognize your gender. There are a few instances where bugs cause gender confusion and some lines that could be worded better ("in voice" comes to mind - I believe "in mannerisms" was the intent), but the mod definitely acknowledges your gender outside of those few instances.
The mod DOES establish some things about your character's backstory, and you don't get much say in the matter. A large part of the story is coming to terms with and living with the backstory that's been established.
Killing someone after they yield is not 'good' even if you feel you are justified in doing so. Read the guide if you're morally confused but still want the good-aligned ending.
If your first follower dies, you won't be able to play Part 3. Read the guide if you want perfect outcomes and to experience all content. You can screw up and not give yourself enough time to get perfect outcomes fairly early on in Part 1.
The console is your friend and can set anyone essential at any time. If you have OBSE use 'setRefEssential 1'. All NPCs in Oblivion are as dumb as bricks, nobody will blame you for making a follower Essential. You can turn Essential off with 'setRefEssential 0' if you come across any paths where the character needs to die.
Simyaz tends to use heavy scripting to control the flow of quests. It's actually fairly easy to get past bugs if you're comfortable with opening up the Construction Set and reading his script files and figuring out what he's looking for. If you're not comfortable with that, though, brace yourself for bugs. The heavy scripting is the single largest point of failure in his mods and the most difficult to work around if you're uncomfortable with the console and Construction Set. I have a post walking through how to understand and work around his scripts here (for RTT) that might help someone trying to find a solution for strange bugs.
Hey, you seem super knowledgeable about troubleshooting Simyaz' mods, I was wondering if you would be able to help me? I'm right at the beginning of the questline, currently at the point where I'm supposed to rest and check myself for telling marks for information on my ancestry. However, some other quest triggers must have been firing after I went to sleep and my character hasn't searched for the rune since. I was wondering if you knew the quest variable for TOTF as in your RTT guide [zzrt1.RuinStory], and if so what might the necessary stage be to check myself for the runic markings on sleep?
I searched almost all previous 129 pages to find a solution to my problem but I havn't found one. Ardenous task that was. Is there any solution when the Alchemyst at the university doesn't give us a potion after we give her ingrediants in "Redemption" Quest? I swear, I tried even waiting for 2 whole weeks in game just out of curiosity. As I'm not experienced enough, I couldn't find right Id for the potion and I guess even If I manage to find quest ID and skip that part , it is likely I will breake someting else since quest seem heavy scripted.
Quest seem to be good (Havn't finish everything so far so I can't say for everything). Not all decisions seem to be my style but I appreciate effort in making very immersive narration and pretty unique story. Must say I really like "Legacy". Complex nonlinear quest like that is a rare sight nowadays. Twists, charaters and atmosphere made it memorable in my eyes. I've seen a lot of complaint about so called "impossible riddles"... Sometimes when I was reading those complaints I was wondering if these guys were lazy, malicious, or something else. They were fine. Move your head a bit, listen to your gut a bit and don't be afraid of shooting in the dark.
I hope to see stories like that more in the future, wherever it would be.
I just want some Confirmation... is this a composition of his other mods(with additions) or separate... and if the former, does it include Ruined-Tails Tale?
Edit: And either way, is i compatable with the "Malevolent" mod by the same creator? I just want to be sure.
I can't get the second argument between Cleon and Allecia to trigger. I used the command %0.f ZZTotF.Timer4 and it gives me -5. Supposedly that's a big problem but I don't know what to do. I keep reloading the save just before the first argument happens, but the next stage keeps having the same problem.
Wanna make sure I didn't install it wrong. You say there are some voice acted characters? So far the visitor you get when you sleep and the extra bookseller dialog are all silent; is that normal? Maybe only characters you see a lot when the story gets going talk?

The background "Canon" is only applicable when you play the mod, so your basically agreeing to it when installing.
Perhaps add a flag that he only appears when ur level 20+ it's god damn annoying.
