📋 About This Mod
The Black Marsh mod Project (Dubbed Project Argonia) by ArgonianLord
The basic premise of this mod is to create all of Black Marsh into Oblivion. Currently it is in its BETA stages and is in a bit of a hiatus due to me having a lack of interest currently. Enough of that, back to the premise of the mod. Ahem, as stated before, the mod aims to recreate all of Black Marsh into Oblivion, currently the mod features the southren most parts of Black Marsh. The only finished areas thus far are the areas around Gideon and Soulrest. (These two are on the same world space as the rest of Oblivion). And months ago (Perhaps almost a year at this rate >.>) the city of Lilmoth was added to the mod.
So far, the mod has very few dungeons, but I will change that as the development of the mod continues on. But what the mod does offer is interesting looking cities, some interesting characters with backstory included, a bit of dialogue, but no advanced dialogue with responses yet I am afraid (Also bound to change). There are no quests currently aside from a small quest that is in serious WIP stages. But you do get a bit of exploration, more bits and pieces of immersion will be added later to make the world feel more alive, to do this I will add lots of interesting letters around camps and whatnot. Most of them relating to events in the area nearby or in areas far away.
This mod will also take elements from Shadowfen in Elder Scrolls Online as a basis for the upper area for Black Marsh, it will also include a few references to the main plot ESO had in Shadowfen in Black Marsh. There are also planned sub plots, one of them being related to ridding Black Marsh off of slavery once and for all. And there will be a main plot dedicated to Molag Bal, where he will try to redo the Planemeld once more, but at a less grandscale this time.
I've also been planning marriageable characters in the mod, both male and female for all the races. Just to make it a bit more interesting.
Other than that, I can't say much more as there is still so very much to do! I will leave off with a small plea of assistance for this mod. This plea will be below, into the bowels.
A plea of help:
You may wonder what I mean by this, well. What I mean is that I am looking for others to assist in developing this mod along with me. To hasten the development of the mod a bit and make updates far more frequent than they are. This does not mean I want to leave this mod in the fates and destinies of others, it merely means I'd like to have others to work with.
What I am searching for mostly is voice actors, landscapers (People making landscapes an
