Description
===================================
NEW AND IMPROVED, NOW WITH VOICE ACTING!
10,000 downloads. 3 years in the making, But you've never heard it like this...
1,000 lines of fully spoken dialog. Fully speaking companions at the end. Come experience the way HOD was
meant to be played...
Featuring:
- 15 Characters, all fully voiced and lip synced.
- 15+ hours of in-depth storytelling and dozens of new dungeons, along with many different puzzles and riddles, to create a grand adventure in the vein of Indiana Jones or National Treasure.
- Dozens of new NPCs with over a thousand lines of dialog in a character-based quest
- Three fully realized NPCs, with their own personalities, who might become your companions, depending on your actions and interactions with them. Share their joys and tears, and maybe even fall in love…
- New weapons and armor
- Dozens of unique artwork, used with permission by dozens of the best modders in the community. Some you’ll recognize, and some will surprise you…
- A new unique home, with plenty of storage and surprises.
BONUS: Also included is an extra music pack, for those who want to listen to pieces that are appropriate to this quest.
===================================
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.
NOTE: Not compatible with any HOD bsa version less than 6.0
===================================
Installation
===================================
All zipped files need 7-zip in order to unzip them. (www.7-zip.org)
Unzip the zip file into your OblivionData folder. When asked if you want to overwrite both the music and the video folder, press Yes to All.
Run the HeartoftheDead.esp and enjoy!
To install the DarkUI loading screens:
If you are using Dark UI, just unzip the HODDarkUI.7z file into your OblivionData folder.
To install bonus music files:
Make a backup directory of all your old datamusic folders. Then unzip HODBonusMusic.zip into the data folder and say “yes” when it wants to overwrite.
To put the old Oblivion Movies back:
There is a folder in DataVideoOld that holds all the original Oblivion movies. Just put them in the Video folder, overwrite, and you will be back to the original.
===================================
Known Issues:
===================================
WARNING!!! POTENTIAL SPOILERS IN THIS SECTION!!!
1) Starting the Quest: If the opening screen does not show up when you start your game, go into your quests and make the Heart of the Dead your active quest.
If that still doesn't make it pop up, head to Bruma and talk to Inar the Begger. He's in Olav's Tap and Tack.
2) If you need help on any of the puzzles, talk to one the NPCs in the quest. They can offer some helpful hints...
3) If you walk into the Cathedral at the Monastery and there is no Wraith, open the
console with [~] and type: "SetStage 0HOD01 77". This should move the quest forward. If it still doesn't go down, go into the console, click on the pillar and type "disable".
4) If the Jade pedestal in the Goddess room not work, type in console [~]:
SetStage 0HOD01 60
5) Darkness Everlasting conflicts. Take it out while playing and then put it back in after.
6) If the Big Pillar in the Dream of the Dead doesn't go down, even after hitting all three buttons, then
type "Set HOD03.OpenLastRoom to 3" in the console. If it still doesn't go down, go into the console, click on the pillar and type "disable"
7) If you get to the Dead World and the elves just stand around the doors won't open, then type:
set HOD04.SacrificeTimer to 1
8) HOD for some unknown reason takes away the CM Partner's ability to repair. Still looking into it.
9) Savior's Hollow is now moved. If you have a save game right in front of the old door location, the door will still be there, even if the rocks are gone.
This is okay. Just enter the cave and continue on. Just know that the graphic anomoly is there and cannot be fixed for your save game.
- If the door is gone, open the console and type "coc 03HODNaraCave1"
10) There seems to be some problems with the following mods:
- "See Your Sleep" crashes when you dream. You have to disable it.
- "kuerteeCrimeHasWitnesses" messes up Wintermoon's disposition. She attacks everyone in sight.
- Open the console, click on Wintermoon and type:
"getav Aggression" A number X will show up. Then type:
"setav Aggression -X" where X is the number from above.
11) Before entering the Land of the Dead in Quest 4, you must unequip any item that adjusts your
character's health. I'm currently looking into how to fix it.
12) If you have romanced Kat and rescued her from the Dead World, but she doesn't follow you,
go back to a save game right before the last portal. Open the console and type:
Set HODRavenAttitude to 1000
Then enter the portal.
13) If you wake up in the house and your new companion simply tries to talk to you and won't say anything, then open
the console and type:
"set HOD04.LastStage to 10"
14) CTD conflicts - The following will crash HOD at startup and I have no clue why:
- The unofficial patch for Battlehorn
15) SOmetimes the stairs will not go up in the Walk of the Dead, Temple of the White King, even though all the stone
weapons are in the right spot. So open the console and type:
Set HOD02.WeaponPlaced to 4
And then place one of the correct stone weapons in the correct slot.
