Original Path of The Skull Bearer
Upon playing the mod, I had come to be very interested with the story and quest line. However, I felt that the mod could use a little more oomph, more of a dark and nightmarish tone to it. Plus, there were some buggy areas that I wanted to fix. After tweaking a few things and speaking with the mod's creator, I am now putting out the update! After a couple months of work, even from the initial release, much has been changed, fixed, and added to this amazing story!
What this update does is mainly changes a lot of the sounds within the mod. The voice of the skull is much more demonic. Also, I used some of my own, custom-made music in the mod as well. This update also fixes bugs by either fixing script issues, or by making work-arounds.
I have polished and repaired the mod as well as extended it, making this mod provide the experience it was made to give!
For this mod, it is recommended to keep the music on. If you prefer to keep it off, do so, but turn it on during the "Ceremony". Some dialogue is within the music file.
Warning Against God Mode, God Weapons, etc.
=======
I myself use God Mode and weapons, just because I like the feel. However, as in every quest, it is best to leave God Mode off to keep the challenge. I strongly recommend NOT using God Weapons that have ridiculous amounts of damage, ESPECIALLY God Bows. High enchantments are fine, but high damage itself is very bad. Some creatures in the game are heavily scripted in some areas, and using a God Weapon on them has caused the game to crash on some occasion. So, if you're able to smuggle your God Weapons into the quest, please do not use them. Have some integrity :).
In short- no problems with God Mode, lots of problems with God Weapons.
Also, NEVER use the TCL command!! It WILL break the quest progression!!

Known Bugs
=======
None in repeated playthroughs on my own system. CTD due to the mod itself has now been removed as of 2.01!! If you run into the disappearing landscape bug, try a different load order. I am aware of the "money doubling bug"; until I make a fix, consider it an extra reward :).
