Donation Points system
This mod is not opted-in to receive Donation Points
This mod at its core is simply about exploring - the simple joy of wondering what is behind a locked door, opening it, and finding that what is behind is unexpected. I really enjoyed walking around mods like Dreamborn Isles, Carved Brink, Vigilant...and wanted to create an experience that didn't attempt to present anything 'more' than simply that, a fun series of pretty environments to explore and collect in - no pretense of a grand story or expansive quest, that so often falls short. A hybrid of dungeon and scavenger hunt with new lands elements; the way forward is not open to you. Players will have to find the right key to each door to progress. Examine the journals, read the books, piece a story together - or dont, and just have fun wandering around.
LOCATION IN SCREENSHOTS :)
FAQ: IS THIS FOLLOWER FRIENDLY? STRAIGHT UP, THIS IS DESIGNED AS A MINIMALIST SINGLE PLAYER EXPERIENCE WITH PLATFORMING/JUMPING ELEMENTS SKYRIM NPCS DONT LIKE. LEAVE YOUR WAIFUS HOME FOR THIS ONE FELLAS.
WHAT AM I COLLECTING? WHAT ARE THE RULES? WHATS GOING ON HERE? TEN UNIQUE WEAPONS, A SHIELD, SOME UNIQUE LOOT, THERES NEW BOOKS, TWELVE NEW GEMS (SINGLE INSTANCES), TWO PLAYER HOUSES, AND A METRIC TON OF VANILLA LOOT. YOU WILL LEAVE THIS MOD RICH, AND WITH A FULL INVENTORY - FAIR WARNING. IT'S LIKE AN OLD SCHOOL ZELDA DUNGEON - FIND THE KEYS TO THE RIGHT DOORS. KEYS WILL ONLY EVER BE RIGHT IN THE OPEN, OR ON AN ENEMY, NO EXCEPTIONS.
HOW MUCH GAMEPLAY TIME/CONTENT IS THIS? IS IT LORE FRIENDLY? EXPECT A SOLID COUPLE HOURS. IS IT LORE FRIENDLY? YES, BUT FAIR WARNING: THERES SOME OF MY OWN LORE IN THERE. ITS NOTHING JARRING AND ATTEMPTS TO BE CONGRUENT WITH PREEXISTING LORE / ATMOSPHERE, BUT ITS DEFINITELY THERE.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD KNOW? THIS MOD IS AIMED AT MID LEVEL OR HIGHER PLAYERS, BUT ANYONE CAN WANDER IN. TURN YOUR ENB OFF INSIDE THE ORNAMENT SEA AND WORLD GARDEN. THERE IS A WALKTHROUGH IN THE ARTICLES TAB FOR WHEN YOU GET MAD/STUCK. BRING A TORCH AND AN EMPTY INVENTORY :3
SQUEAKY CLEANED WITH TES5EDIT.
ISSUES: THE ORNAMENT SEA HAS A LOTTA STUFF IN IN IT. POTATO RIGS MAY COMBUST - LEMME KNOW HOW IT GOES <3
BUGS: NONE.
COMPATIBILITY: DOESN'T TOUCH THE VANILLA GAME WHATSOEVER AND SHOULD BE COMPLATIBLE WITH EVERY MOD. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU RUN ACROSS A PROBLEM, I WONT KNOW OTHERWISE AS IM DONE WITH THIS PROJECT - THE ENTRANCE IS ENTIRELY UNOBTRUSIVE, UNOBNOXIOUS AND SHOULDN'T CONFLICT WITH ANY MOD. LET ME KNOW IF SOME OTHER MOD PLACES SOMETHING BY THE ENTRANCE AND ILL MAKE A PATCH FOR THAT MOD.
