📋 About This Mod
Mysteries of the Dwemer
Introduction:
Mysteries of the Dwemer is a mod centred around one NPC, Maro, a researcher of the Dwemer. He'll appear outside multiple Dwarven ruins and will explain parts of the Deep Folk's history in a digestible and interesting way for the player. As these encounters progress, he'll speak more and more of the race as a whole and eventually, how he believes they disappeared. This mod sticks heavily to TES lore and doesn't attempt to offer any definitive answers, so don't worry about any non-lore-friendly content.
Features:
- []Unique questline. A quest explaining various parts of Dwemer lore in an interesting format has never been done in Skyrim and should offer a different experience to all players, regardless of their knowledge on the race. It will also delve into some conversations rife with opportunities for your character to have a true voice and express themselves, with many lines of dialogue acknowledging your choice, and some you may have made in the past.
- []Interesting NPC. Maro is much more than a glorified lore dispenser and rather different from many of my other NPCs. He features a rather intriguing facet to him that must be uncovered by digging deep into the TES lore and listening carefully to all he says.
-
[]Fully voiced. The mod features extremely high-quality voice acting done by the incredible MeekVoice, a veteran of Skyrim modding and an class act that really enhances Maro's dialogue!
