📋 About This Mod
This mod restores many pieces of cut content, such as some misc quests, locations, items, NPCs, and spells. Attempting to both remain faithful to Bethesda’s original vision and the final release of the vanilla game. Also includes some new dialogue lines voiced by Paul Ganus himself!
Despite doing much of the same stuff as CRF, it doesn't actually require as many patches.
This mod includes the Bear's Cave Mill mod I released as well.
Granite Hill is found on a separate mod page.

[*]Rogue Wizard: Tolfdir would like you to "Take care of" a wizard who's been wrecking havok, it's quite possible that said mage felt the effects of the Eye closing.
