About this mod
Do you dare walk in the footsteps of the Gods? Are you prepared to experience a whole new side to \"The Elder ScrollsIV: Oblivion?\" Download \"Et in Arkay Ego\" an expansive quest MOD for Oblivion, and begin your epic adventure into the soul of Tamriel
- Permissions and credits
Arkay says: Honor the earth, its creatures, and the spirits, living and dead. Guard and tend the bounties of the mortal world, and do not profane the spirits of the dead.
So the citizens of Tamriel have been taught about their God of Life and Death eon after eon. It is one of the Ten commands, and one of the building blocks upon which societies and civilizations have been built.
But what if Arkay, the embodiment of the eternal life cycle, had perished long ago? What if a secretive underground society - rumored to have unmatched magicka - fiercely guarded secrets such as this? What impact would it have on the Imperial Cult religion that has flourished and brought order to a once chaotic world?
And what if you were allowed to discover this awful secret? What would you do with this divine knowledge?
This opportunity awaits you in: "Et In Arkay Ego," an expansive mod for the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
...
As an adventurer in Tamriel, you come across a collection of documents that hint at an amazing secret - that the God of Life is dead! Following an interesting trail of clues and quests, you will come across an underground society thought to have perished thousands of years ago. From the idyllic-minded Shepherds of Arkay, to the lore-minded Brothers of the Underground Stream, to a bard humorously singing your praises (or shortcomings) Et in Arkay Ego is a mod unlike any other.
This mod will feature over five hundred new voice files, an original quest and history, over thirty new NPC's (non player characters), twenty books, ten locations, items, images, meshes, textures, spells, and music. Players will experience a whole new side of the "Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion" on an epic adventure into the soul of Tamriel. Do you dare seek the knowledge and power of a God?
In addition, in an effort to reach a wider range of players, we have created two versions of our modification. These include "Et in Arkay Ego" and "Et in Arkay Ego - The Spiritus Version." "Et in Arkay Ego" contains no body meshes or textures and is, therefore, compatible with all body replacer modifications. The Spiritus Version offers the mature gamer the same immersive and dynamic MOD experience contained in the original, with the meaningful quest-related enhancement of naturism allowing the player to enjoy the natural beauty of Cyrodiil wearing only the life-giving air that surrounds him/her. This option was made possible by use and permission of "Fantasy Figures Base V0.5" and "Seamless Male Oblivion Body V3.0" modifications.

INCOMPATIBILITY
=============================
Et in Arkay Ego is incompatible with Unique Landscapes: BravilBarrowfields, ColovianHighlands, and Lush Woodlands. Never fear! Vorians has created patches to allow compatibility. These patches are available for download at: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=13834
* SoloPlayer, a TES Nexus user, also reports that: "Arthmoor of UL team edited the Lush Woodlands Unique Landscape and now the UL Lush Woodlands patch for this mod is not needed." Thanks for the heads up, SoloPlayer.
A patch for compatibility between Et in Arkay Ego and the Shivering Isles Expansion is available for download on this page. Thanks so much to dev_akm for your help with this.
A patch for compatibility between Et in Arkay Ego and the Choices and Consequences Mod is available for download on this page. Thanks so much again to dev_akm for your help with this.
A minor conflict was reported between Et in Arkay Ego (EiA) and Tears of the Fiend (TotF) by Simyaz. An EiA location (Knights of the Circle's headquarters) is located where one of the houses in TotF is. Thanks to q0rra for reporting the conflict! Thankfully, a compatibility patch has been created. Our great gratitude to somebodys_kid for creating this patch! The patch is available for download at: http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=24624.
A minor conflict was reported between EiA and Kvatch Rebuilt. This conflict is resolved simply by loading Kvatch Rebuilt before EiA. If the load order is reversed, there will be a terrain tear in front of the cave Kvatch Rebuilt adds. Thanks so much to somebodys_kid for reporting and sharing the fix for this error.
