About this mod

In the ruins of Nchuand-Zel, beneath the city of Markarth, lies the workshop of a long dead Dwemer. Inside, a fully upgradeable and customizable Dwarven Centurion. Repair it, upgrade it, and watch it stomp your enemies into the ground.

Features:
  • A short quest following the events of "The Lost Expedition" that sends you into a previously undiscovered section of Nchuand-Zel. The quest will only start if you have the "Dwarven Smithing" perk unlocked. If you've completed "The Lost Expedition" and have the "Dwarven Smithing" perk unlocked, just fast travel to any city or town, and a courier will give you a letter from Calcelmo, starting the quest.
  • A heavily modifiable Dwarven Centurion follower that doesn't count towards your follower count. The upgrades and their requirements are specified below, under a spoiler tag, and the requirements to fully upgrade it are pictured in the User Images, but they are not specified in-game. This is intentional. I wanted to leave the upgrades mysterious. 
    You can charge the Centurion with filled Soul Gems and check its current Soul Charge by clicking "Status" in the menu that opens when you activate it. Its Soul Charge will decrease by 1 every second the Centurion is active.
    Note: if you upgrade the Centurion, you will not be able to retrieve any items used in the upgrade. This is a planned feature for some of the upgrades but it is not currently implemented.
  • A very short story in the form of a journal, written in the months just before the Dwemer disappearance.

Known Bugs:
If you are playing SSE version 1.5.97, the quest may hang after you kill the three Centurions in the Workshop. If this happens to you, just open the console and use the command "SetStage DC_DwarvenCenturion_Main 55" and the quest will continue as intended. This should not happen if you are playing the most recent version of SSE.

This mod might be partially or completely incompatible with Perk Tree mods. If it removes or replaces the Enchanter perks, you will not be able to fully upgrade the Centurion. If somebody wants to make a compatibility patch for a specific mod, contact me for any information you need to make it.
  • Partially incompatible with Ordinator - Perks of Skyrim, as it replaces the Enchanter perks. If you don't mind using the console, then it shouldn't be hard to add the fifth level of the Enchanter perk via console when you need it. Other required perks still exist, though some of them have new names.
