DESCRIPTION
===========

An action horror quest plugin for Bethesda's "Elder Scolls IV - Oblivion".

The player will have to deal with an ancient twisted evil, well hidden in the ages, 
through a journey in time and space and the hellish kingdom of the "Cursed Ones".


This project is going to be released in several episodes because of its large length.
Although every episode has its own unique ending.



FEATURES
========

1.Entirely new world
2.Quest system
3.New enemies
4.New Sound & Video Material
5.Five new unique books and several notes written by Margaret Farrell
6.Custom weapons and armors
7.A full cluttered house in Jerral Mountains

The Quest is estimated to take about 4 or more hours depending on style of play


SUGGESTIONS FOR THE MAXIMUM EXPERIENCE OF THIS QUEST
====================================================

1.I call this plugin a "War of Images". 
I've spent hundreds of hours trying to create just the right atmosphere at each location of this project.
The lighting is 60% of the experience so.... It is recommended that you don't use "Nighteye Effects"! 
The only result it can cause is to spoil the experience you would have without it.
You will find enough torches to pass through this quest. 

2.Try to leave your companion at home this time.
Expect that a companion will be lost in the "Abyss" stage,
Either by attracting the immortal Abyss creatures or by falling to "Nowhere".

3.Do not use console cheat codes because they will probably break the quest line and cause failure to complete it.
