📋 About This Mod

A brief note. In humble (and late) celebration of the TES V announcement, i\'ve decided to put a(nother) mod that I made a while back and never released - largely due to the majority of my time being consumed by my ever hungry Undergraduate Degree - in the public domain. As such, whilst I have put some finishing touches on it, it hasn\'t really been tested by exterior modders (though I\'ve tested it extensively myself, on several machines). Depending on the success and demand, I\'ve got a few others that I can polish up and release (which I may do in due course regardless: -The Fall of Smaug - Released simultaneously http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=36085 -Knight\'s Abode - \"\" \"\" - a manor with purchasable knights, walls, church, armoury etc -Ilium - Needs a few touches, but essentially finished - a mod based on the events at Troy in which the player takes the part of Diomedes. -A general utilisation mod - \"\" \"\" - new textures/meshes, nice armour/weapons etc -Into the Void - Incomplete; needs a lot of work - A very extensive mod (includes new Sithis world/long Quest-line/Entire Villages of NPC\'s etc - you get the picture) in which the player takes part in a long dark quest centred around Sithis and his realm - I\'d really only put the work into this if there\'s a massive popular demand (which is, frankly, unlikely) ------------The Vertueux------------ Skilled Assassins, the Vertueux work for the good of Tamriel. However, over the years their numbers and those willing to fund them have dwindled. New threats face the world with few prepared to face them. Will you take up the challenge..? CONTENT This mod adds many things to the game, for example: New textures and meshes New items including armour, weapons, clothing etc A new playable Guild 100+ NPC\'s Multiple new places Many interesting new interiors A long immersive storyline including 15+ quests Countless lines of dialogue using silent files COMPATIBILITY Small landscaping issue between the HQ and surroundings, when running the Lost Spires. Thanks to Smith099 for pointing this out. INSTALLATION Simply extract the files from \'The Vertueux. 7z\' onto your hard drive. Then move the \'Data\' folder into your \'Oblivion\' folder and click \'Merge\'. Alternatively, move the \'Meshes\', \'Textures\' and \'Sound\' folders, along with \'The Vertueux.esp\' into your \'Data\' folder in your Oblivion directory. UNINSTALLATION Delete (or move) The Vertueux.esp file from your Oblivion\\Data directory. To deactivate without deleting, uncheck \'The Vertueux\' in the \'Data Files\' pop-up accessed via your Oblivion start-up dialog. Enjoy.
