"Aren't you worried that someone's going to walk in here? The entrance isn't exactly hidden, you know."




Why did I create this?

Dungeons and ruins in Skyrim are generally underwhelming in my opinion. They are way too straight forward and made to be easily traversed. Exploration isn't a thing as there is only one path. That isn't fun in a game primarily about dungeon delving. Dungeons should be challenging, confusing and interesting. Embershard mine is a dungeon that you've run a thousand times. It's most likely you'll go to after leaving Helgen and it's starting to get boring. With this mod you won't get bored as you can actually choose different paths and explore new areas.

What has been added?
A lot of new paths, rooms and enemies have been added. Everything added fits with the theme of the original dungeon, I always strive to be lore-friendly. I want my creations to be indistinguishable from the vanilla game. I have also taken care to not add to much loot as to not inflate the players wealth and power but there should still be some rewards for the player to find. Embershard Mine should be about 10-20 minutes longer now.

What I want to achieve

An interesting new experience ideal for both new and returning players. You might get lost and have to retrace your steps, and that is the point. Fighting bandits in an abandoned mine shouldn't be on rails. Now it isn't!



Installation
Install with mod manager of your choice.

Do not install while your character is inside Embershard Mine as some things might get weird.
