I remember playing part 3 years ago, thought I would give this a try, got no clue, found the note at the eastmarch camp, found the stairs, went up to ruins, bunch of locked doors and a few dead druag and 1 dead thalmor - went up to Adal Matar, met 1 orc with only 1 dialogue option - nothing else, so I am sure this is a good mod, but I have no clue - enjoy

Mod works like a charm even with 99 other mods in my load order. The gate down the left path inside the lost ruin can be opened by SPOILERS SPOILERS reaching through the gate to pull down a chain on the opposite side.

Honestly thought the lack of recorded lines would bother me, but honestly, when the rest of the mod is this good, I dont miss em!

Super cool!!!

Has anything in the actual mod changed since 10-04-2013? I see "updates" newer than that, but the version number is the same as on Nexus with an older date. Anyway, this is a cool idea. I think I'll do this with an Orc follower and use it afterward as home for that char., so I have someone in the area to stomp around with. I don't like to drag the same followers all over the map.

How do you open the portcullis to the west of the entrance to the Lost Ruins? I could not find a path leading to the other side of it

Did you ever fix the off colored heads on your created NPC's. It's not an issue on our end, as there are tons of mods without the problem. Heads not matching bodies is a major immersion breaking turnoff to me, and if you still haven't addressed the issue, the mod is garbage IMO.

Just loading again with a new character. I'll say now that the last time I ran this I loved it and used it as a home base for quite a while examining all the intricacies it's in a great location and there are so many things to do. Well can't wait back to the game and even though its been a while let me say good job

still consider it my favorite player home. nice quest to obtain it. if one's personal game character is an orc, this would be the best Stronghold. only two improvements I would recommend if MadFrenchie were interested in updating: 1) gradually have more orcs gravitate to live here; and 2) have these new orcs rebuild the broken shack into a buried bunkhouse. hmm. make these issues based on new quests... or player paying money to hire workers, pay for excavation / building.

I liked playing this mod. Different places and lots of mystery. Congratulations on your work. My suggestion would be to put more traps. I liked.
garroshsucks12 Oct 12, 2018 @ 1:20pm 
I did it once, not the entire thing other than just plowing through the Thalmor, it is a good home I assure you. Definitely doing this one again on an Orc character.
ᴶᵒᵃᵏᵒ Sep 16, 2018 @ 12:22pm 
Not recommended, brodual hyped it and it is only some npcs and 3 new places, nothing more

The orc girl is nowhere to be found. Could someone please give me her ID so I can summon her with the console?
GrumpyGrizzley907 Nov 11, 2017 @ 8:59pm 
@MadFrenchie: is this effective with Skyrim Legendary Edition? I loaded this years ago and consider it my favorite player home. I would miss it if I replay in the legendary edition and cannot go home, again.
Siproeta Aug 24, 2017 @ 10:36pm 
I have the same issue as Pooned
DeadVenge Jul 30, 2017 @ 5:23pm 
This mod didnt quite work for me, i'll explain why.

I traveled to the secret camp and slaughtered the Thalmor and made my way down to the imperial camp which was missing except for a quartermaster, the secret agent had no dialog either.

After climbing up i reached the ruins and went in, which was totally pointless as theres no real memorable loot, and once you reach the end you gotta walk all the way out again.

I continued to the top and entered the mines, id clear the mines and then enter the stronghold, thought the mines there was nothing memorable other than the 2 giant trolls, i left through an exit which put me inside the stronghold.

The stronghold, well it was pretty much empty, i found 2 orcs both with no dialogs besides follow me and whats for sale. That is it.

The only thing that i thought was nice was the home which is problematic as i only found it by scrolling through the comments here. (whys it hidden?)

All in all, disapointing, maybe it was broken for me?

So far, i have not had any problems, but when i died fighting thalmor, my game froze. anyone else have this problem?
Momcat Jun 29, 2017 @ 12:48pm 
This is a fantastic mod! I really enjoyed it
The Average Ivy Enjoyer May 26, 2017 @ 7:13pm 
While yet another one of MadFrenchie's masterpieces that excel far beyond even Bethesda's planning, there are some bugs that cause the loading screen to overlay the game normally when entering/exiting any cells related to the War With The Thalmor series mods, so far this has happened to me at least once with Adal Matar and 2-3 times in South Dragon Bridge.

And in some critical feedback, i'd say the rewards for the exploration were also a tad too much, but overall, another good masterpiece of adventuring.

Can the imperials take over the the thalmor camp?

DEATH TO THE THALMOR
Ztylus Aug 31, 2016 @ 10:37am 
Fantastic mod!!! make u think that the mod isnt even a mod its a apart of skyrim itself! 9/10 only cuz the textures for orcs on adal manor dont match their bodies if u could fix this would be a perfect 10/10 for some reason their heads are a lighter color than bodies :)
SoulStorm11 Jul 17, 2016 @ 6:16pm 
Down with the Thalmor! Up with the Empire!
Lemur Apr 18, 2016 @ 3:11pm 
superb, good sir!
BIGDORD Apr 13, 2016 @ 8:53pm 
Fun mod! I liked how it gave the player a chance to use his/her imagination based off the journals! The mine was also a pretty sweet delve. I can't wait to try the other ones!
nina79 Apr 2, 2016 @ 8:18pm

"Levelled ennemies" i'm not sure about this...being received by an arch-cryomancer at level 16 wasn't funny....

Ill try it, is does not conflict with other world mods no>?
CountBB Oct 12, 2015 @ 8:28pm 
Very cool! Just played through. I really like the intuitive / immersive approach. I'm going to go straight into the next three in your series. For reference, I just played the new "Forgotten City" mod and I'm hooked on the intuitive VS the marker-quest based missions. I definitely want to see more of these.
Viking Oct 10, 2015 @ 9:17am 
Thanks a lot...your fight against the thalmor mods fucked up my sound completely.
I have tried everything to fix it that the city ambient sound are not there in dungeons...but nothing worked!
ScottLobster Sep 21, 2015 @ 11:20am 
I'm unable to start it. Whenever I try talking to the secret soldier guy he just tells me that the magic I'm using is dangerous, and won't actually start dialogue.
Crusader Sep 1, 2015 @ 4:55am 
could not find it crawled over those mountains and saw nothing.
LimitedPatients Aug 28, 2015 @ 9:21am 
Your mod is a good mod! I enjoyed the fact that the player has to take the initiative, and it was an entertaining hour and a half of gameplay. I particularly enjoyed raiding the advance Thalmor camp.

If I had to give minor criticisms, it would be that once you get to Adal Matar the mission is basically over. I had a blast trawling through the mine, but the follower NPCs felt a bit flat. Again, these are minor criticisms, and I look forward to trying the rest of your mods.
TibbnTob Aug 26, 2015 @ 11:19am 
not working got the orders and red the journal what do i do?
dblack2547 Aug 10, 2015 @ 9:10am 
Spectacular, for a player home mod. Some trivial grammar errors; not conveniently located if you prefer shank's mare to fast travel. These do not significantly detract from the value. Gorgeous damn mod; congratulations.
stefanoaimoboot Aug 2, 2015 @ 8:01am 
Where i can find Eastmarch Hold Location??
[420]X2Kush May 29, 2015 @ 6:46pm 
Good mod, I would love to see some quests added, but still fun as a solo do-what-you-want. :)
DON VERGA May 22, 2015 @ 6:41pm 
so there is quest or mission
Sam the Slayer May 5, 2015 @ 2:02pm 
@MadFrenchie do the quests apear as a quest in the quest log? or do you just follow the clues from journals and stuff (this question goe's for all of your quest mods)
DUROMAL Apr 27, 2015 @ 1:42pm 
Excellent mod, très immersif, level-design très soigné, sans doute l'endroit le plus vivant, cohérent que j'ai pu visiter.
Merci!
