📋 About This Mod
Ostian Enhanced brings new life to the capital of Nehrim's Southrealm. It revives the slum area, opens up many barred doors, and adds inhabitants, shops and a lot of new merchandise. There are new stalls at the market plaza and at the harbor, a buyable, well-furnished house of generous size, and new interiors to the Guard Tower and the Federal Bureau for Fortune Restriction.
The ships at the harbor are now populated and accessible. The largest of the ships, the Southern Comfort, is home to a group of Entertainers whose presence poses a challenge to the strict moral codes of Ostians ruling class.
There are no quests in the mod, but it adds a book and some notes that add flavor and background to the lives of old and new NPCs. If you read these texts carefully, you' ll be able to find two more locations in the Southrealm where new treasures and enemies await you.
There is also included the German version of the mod (only esp).
