📋 About This Mod
Don't want to help Jauffre and want to blaze your own trail? this is for you!
OVERVIEW
This mod aims to progress the quest in the background as you just play your character. I wanted to play an evil character that doesn't care about the main quest, but wanted to simulate other heroes doing the quest and closing the gates while I do my things! It's a work in progress, and I'll update this mod as I progress my own char.
v2. 10: Battle of Bruma done! You can go there as a tourist and watch the battle :D Come back after the quest timer has progressed and the destroyed siege engine will be there! There is a free Sigil Stone on the ground (the main hero was too encumbered...).
Kept the 1. 2 version if you just want to have the first stage of Oblivion crisis on. Jauffre will stay in Weynon Priori and Martin in Kvatch, and the main quest is still doable later.
Important: if updating from v2. 3 you may need to run a batch file, see install for details.
