Even if doesn\'t it\'s well worth using for other mods IF YOU GET CTDS TRY DOWNLOADING WITH NMM TO SORT COMPATIBILITY BE SURE TO GET THE LATEST UPDATES FROM STEAM FOR THIS TO WORK PROPERLY Description ------------- This mod is part is part of a series I plan to create that will aim to increase the presence of daedra and daedric princes of Oblivion. Waking Nightmare 2 introduces a \'point of no return\' dungeon that will add new monsters to fight, new weapons and attire and I have even hidden new spells that allow you to summon these new nightmare creatures to fight alonside you, plus you get a nice prize at the end including a unique daedric artifact! The \'dungeon\' is based on Vaermina\'s daedric realm of Quagmire - the realm of dreams and nightmares. The idea of this daedric realm is to torment the player with visions of horror and surrealism, shifting from one place to the next. Be warned that the realm of Quagmire is not to be underestimated so SAVE REGULARLY (and before you enter just in case), I also recommend waiting until you are about level 20 at least. !SPOILER ALERT! - If you complete the dungeon and forget to pick up Vaermina orb you will miss the grand prize! You will also need to pick up a key for the reward chest, it\'s in the bag on a chain at the shrine where you encounter Vaermina. To get the orb when you have missed it do this, Open the console type \"help orb 0\" without quotes, press pageup until you find the vaerminas orb and then type \"player.additem (code) 1\". It will be just like you picked it up and nobody will know the difference ;D Location ---------- A new map marker has appeared south of Clearspring Tarn and north-west of Boulderfall Cave, roughly half way between Winte
