📋 About This Mod

Sotha Sil's clockwork city: a massive churning construct of gears, oil, steam, and machinery of indescribable grace, function, and a certain kind of beauty. Working through a few dilapidated domes amidst the fabricant hordes, a Nerevaraine could only think about what the rest of the city must look like. It was a fancy which would never come to pass. A team of renowned modders have come together to expand on the mysterious and enchanting locale, expanding fully on the concept of what a god obsessed with technology and perfection of function could accomplish given infinite time and resources. Sotha Sil Expanded, does what the name suggests. No longer is Sotha Sil a few small halls with the occasional swinging axe. Now it is a massive, ever changing, ever shifting facility. The player must now use their brains, as they are presented with logical challenges within the enormous lair of Sotha Sil. Oceans of oil span across it, huge gear columns tower over its halls, and fabricants roam its space-warping streets. Yes, streets. For in addition to expanding the dungeon of Sotha Sil, we have gone and done what always should have been done. Sotha Sil now truly has a clockwork city, the one mentioned in lore but never shown, complete with shops and inhabitants. All the while of course, you are monitored by Gestalt, the enormous not-quite-there magical intelligence which runs the city.

FEATURES
  • []A completely redone Sotha Sil, spanning over 60 enormous cells. Oceans of oil, valleys of gears, and much much more.

    []Puzzles! You'll find your weapon useless as many new things in the Clockwork City will require your mind, rather than your might.

    []A restored Clockwork City, straight out of lore, with over 300 buildings to explore and fabricant people to meet, all overseen by the Watchmen, Sotha Sil's automaton soldiers.

    []New artifacts straight out of lore. From the ghostly wraithmail to the totally useless Ethos Knife, Elder Scrolls, and even Sotha Sil's old legs.

    []New sidequests to complete in the clockwork city itself.

    []Three new types of armor sets, gearmail, ceramic, and quartz, and a new weapon style, clockwork.

    INSTALLATION AND PLAYING THE MOD

    []If you didn't beat Tribunal yet, you can progress through the main quest of it to access the city.

    []If you don't want to start Tribunal, open the console and type "StartScript SothaSilTeleport"

    []Finally, if you already beat Tribunal, find your Mazed Band, equip it, and teleport to Sotha Sil. You'll get a newer, better one, at the end of SSE.

    []Once inside, you'll notice several things. Jump and levitate spells are useless, and combat, while existant, takes a back seat to obstacles and puzzles. You will have to use your mind to conquer Sotha Sil.

    [*]Also remember to search those corners you can reach! Helpf
