Generally, with very few exceptions, I like to practice cathedral modding. Simply put, it just means my work is creative commons (Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike), so as long as you say where you've got it from and don't put it behind a paywall, feel free to do whatever you want with it, have fun! I generally would like to hear from you if you do make a translation, bug fix, scathing satire, etc. I'd love to see it :3

Alternate Start - Live Another Life by Arthmoor Dwemer hatch door by the Duathfel team Egg of Time book ported by InsanitySorrow Big thanks to MysticMalevolence for their alternative Papyrus script used in their mod I Used to Be a Dungeon Boss Like You, without which I'd never get this thing working.

This is an addon for Arthmoor's Alternate Start - Live Another Life, and now with support for Scrab's Alternate Perspective as well!
Initially this was just a fun little mod I made for a barely lore-friendly Dwemer playthrough, but a lot of you seem to like it! I've updated the mod with a navmesh, redone the scripts from scratch, ported it to Alternate Perspective and just might be working on a sequel ;) I hope you enjoy!
You wake up in a Dwemer chronostasis pod, a device used to preserve its contents against the effects of time. You are, as far as you know, the last of your kind. How much the world has changed? How much has it stayed the same after four thousand years? How will it respond to a long dead People waking up once more? And what if that supposedly dead person is also Dragonborn? Why were you locked away, and what were the Dwarves planning in doing so?
This mod requires Alternate Start - Live Another Life or Alternate Perspective. Install with a mod manager of your choice. I'm not supporting manual installs because, seriously, in 2024?
Please choose only one main file! The Last Dwemer makes edits to the BlackreackZcell02 cell (Silent Ruin), and the Wilderness cell just outside. I've only touched the skill book, the chair, and the spinny blades which are now disabled. The edits are minimal so it shouldn't have many incompatibilities but if another mod edits BlackreachZcell02 I'd recommend checking to make sure my edits aren't overwritten.
Q: How do I get out of Blackreach without an attunement sphere? A: There are multiple Dwemer lifts that will take you directly to the surface.
Q: Why does the stasis field look so bad? A: Sometimes for whatever reason the game decides not to load the stasis chamber asset properly and I have absolutely no idea why but I'm looking into it. In the meantime, it seems that reinstalling the meshes folder works as a temporary fix.
Q: Do you have to be Dwemer to use this? A: Nope! Maybe the Dwemer threw a Nord into stasis, a Chimer turned grey the second they awoke, who knows what those big brained elves were up to.
Q: But wasn't there already a "Last Dwemer" in Morrowind? A: Your character doesn't have to know that ;)
Q: What happened to the Dwemer, anyway? A: I think they became skin for a giant timebending robot but who even knows?
Q: How did this Dwemer survive? A: When in chronostasis, a person is kept outside the construct of time. Any events that happen outside stasis do not happen inside it. Or maybe they're just a special boy/girl/person, it's your character so you make the rules!
Q: Why does the Dwemer in the pictures look like that :\ A: Dumac was half-orc. Bthar-Duum is Dumac's science daughter with the Underking. She's got a lot going on with her heritage, which is why she looks a little orcish. I think she looks nice :)
Q: I think the Dwarf-Orc is cute, could I have a RaceMenu preset? A: Here you go!
Q: This isn't lore friendly :( A: Don't worry about it ;)
