📋 About This Mod
DNGDR has apparently got the reputation over the years as being filled with nothing but "insta-death" traps. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
Is DNGDR hard? yes. but I tried very hard to balance Exploring/traps/fighting. Are there unsurvivable traps? yes a couple but most are survivable or totally avoidable if you're on your toes.

Bug fixes ... Some meshes changes. Works with Open Morrowind as of 0. 41

This mod affects Dwemer ruins “Odrosal”,” Vemynal” & “Dagoth Ur” in Main Quest timeline, and it is my attempt to make the quest to find Kagrenac’s Tools and destroy Dagoth Ur a much more involved task.
You can expect to find much larger ruins to explore as well as traps, puzzles, and a completely new final battle with Dagoth Ur featuring a new end sequence. Never a dull moment. Oh, and did I mention traps. :)
Additionally, I made well over a 100 brand new custom meshes for this including a new corridor tile set!

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 804 endorsements and over 27k downloads.
- Enhances a key part of the main quest, making the search for Kagrenac's Tools more epic.
- Works with Open Morrowind, so modern players can enjoy it.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017, so it may not be fully tested with the latest Open Morrowind builds.

- This mod affects main quest areas, so it's best to install it before starting the quest to find Kagrenac's Tools.
