Return to Helgen V4 Released

[NanoByteGhost]

Return to Helgen V4 is now available.

Unfortunately Steam Workshop is erroring out when I try and upload it here (AGAIN) so the version steam has is now out of date.

You can get Version 4 from my website linked below.

About:
Return to Helgen is an epic quest mod thats been 18 months in the making and is finally finished. It takes you from being a prisoner in Helgen to Governor of a restored Helgen, all the way up to becoming an Emperor at war with the Aldmeri Dominion.

It has over 40 quests
Over 400 NPCs
Over 1000 lines of recorded dialog.

There is nothing like this inside the Elder Scrolls community, not on this scale, covering this subject matter.

Enjoy.

PS I am modder and modders are not paid for this, keep that in mind before moaning to me about stupid crap and we will get along just fine.

How come you didn't put this on Nexus? Sounds great tho.

[NanoByteGhost]

I used to use Nexus back in the Oblivion days and one day I woke up and my mods where gone and another team where cleaning to be owners of them. Nexus had handed them control over my mods. So I complained and nexus banned my mods and moderated me to hide what they had done. A few 1000 of my mod users at the time saw them do it. So I have trusted, nor used nexus since.

Nexus has nothing like this.

Well I can definitly understand why. Sorry to hear that happened. The reason I play Skyrim so much is due to great modders like you. Not that Skyrim isn't a great game all by itself. Some day modders may unite and create their own great games.

[NanoByteGhost]

Some do mate.

I personally believe Skyrim is lacking factions, past games had plenty of factions but Skyrim is rather basic. Which is why so far I have added several new factions to Skyrim in my mods. Its slowly starting to feel like a decent game to me.

The mod sounds great, I'll download it on my next playthough. As a modder don't you have some sort of protection in regards to your mods. Something like copyright. I thought that Nexus was suppose to protect the mod creaters from having their designs stolen by others, but it sounds like their the ones doing the steeling. I'm glad I read this post, if I ever create a mod I sure won't post it on Nexus.

mpd: This mod will restore helgen for you and add a hunters guild and merchants smithy and such even if you never play the civil war quest or join a side. And can be enabled at any time. So you might as enable it. You will still benefit from it.

This sounds amazing and I am really looking forward in becoming the Emporer.

Hey Giskard I need help, during the Battle for Helgen and the Final wave my game freezes is there a patch i need because I checked no other mod is doing it.

[NanoByteGhost]

Well the mod works fine for everybody else mate, your the only one i know of with that issue.

[NanoByteGhost]

PS i dont do load order support because most TES players use tools that cause random issues like this. But I did explain it here. You should read it.

So someone ported this to SSE and released it, presumably without permission? And it doesn't work it CTD's constantly :(

It's not on Nexus it's in Skyrim itself (dunno what that system is called for mods!) I'll grab a screenie.

Says it was uploaded by NanoByteGhost?

[NanoByteGhost]

I am currently porting the mods across to the Skyrim SE version for the PC and Xbox1 on Beths own site. I dont use nexus so anything on there has been uploaded without permission.

PS thanks for your concern, appreciate it but its all fine. At least on Beths site its fine.

[PlaceboPRS]

Hi NanoByteGhost thanks for the reply, if you're currently porting that means the one on Beth net isn't uploaded by you? I look forward to trying your version, never tried the mod before in old Skyrim and it sounds great :)

[NanoByteGhost]

I have uploaded 3 mods so far for the PC and Xbox 1 to Beth.net.

TEG Return to Helgen
TEG DarkLore Grimoire (this was too big for Steam originally)
TEG Demon Hunters

I still have these to do.

TEG Skyrim Fighters Guild.
TEG Solstheim
TEG Telvanni Hall

and I may hold back on TEG Windhelm, the Stormcloak/high King mod because it messes up the Skyrim Cart Sequence. Depending on how friendly people are I may remake it from scratch.

I am hoping to get the other 3 uploaded soonish, got to test them first make sure they all work okay and dont crash anything. So far all tests have been pasted, zero crashes.
