"Beware what treasure ye seek...
When finding it, one sees the truth of what ye are truly searching for..."
Summersky, High Priestess of the Mnymer

Ravens Eye Productions Presents

"The Heart of the Dead"

*********IMPORTANT NOTES!! ************************
1) There is an NPC in the mod named Wintermoon that is a Mystic Elf. (Ren's Beauty pack). During the mod she uses unique textures, but when she becomes a companion she defaults to UFF textures. What does mean for other body users? It means you must find the appropriate Mystic Elf textures for your body type and make sure they are installed if you want to have her as a companion.

2) If you are using CM Companions or any Mystic Elf esp, make sure these are set AFTER HOD in the load order.

===================================
NOTES ON THE VOICES:
===================================

Not all minor characters have voice. I decided to leave the characters of Oblivion alone with no voice so that it wouldn't be a jarring difference. Therefore the countess of Chorrol, her adviser, and a couple of others will still need subtitles to read their dialog.

It's still better to have the subtitles on while playing, as some of the detail text and a couple of minor characters do not have VO. See note above.

The actress who played Kat had some serious things happen in her life, which left Kat with no companion dialog. However, I did manage to scrounge together pieces of VO from her other dialog. It's obviously more generic, but it worked.

If you wish to switch her old unique text companion dialog back on, simply open the console [~] and type:

set cmPartnersQuest2.HODKatDialogSwitch to 1

===================================
Requirements
===================================
The Heart of the Dead requires that Shivering Isles must be installed

Also recommended is a character 15th level or higher. A character lower than 15 can still play, but the quest can get quite tough for beginning levels.

Also make sure to turn on subtitles. There are still a couple of very minor Oblivion NPCs that have no VO.

NOTE: Not compatible with any HOD bsa version less than 6.0
