GATES TO AESGAARD

In fairness to those who offered suggestions and as a warning to others attempting to play Gates to Aesgaard 1, I wanted to close out this comment thread and explain the solution to those who might run into the same weird situation as I did.

In an attempt to force the correct order in loading the Gates to Aesgaard mod, I changed the name of the .esp file to force it last in the loading sequence of mods I have downloaded for Oblivion. As I experienced, this is A N O N O of the first order. The symptoms are that Ashen Rose's house is normal until you reach the crypt. At the end on the crypt passage, there is a bench. In my jury-rigged mod sequencing attempt, there is a curtain/film in fromt of the bench and there are no books on the bench. There are books on the shelf on the left and everything else is on the bench that should be there. However, the critical book(s) are missing.

When all the suggestions failed to resolve my problem, I went back to the original loading instructions and followed them exactly, including downloading and utilizing the OMM utility and changing GTAesgaard.esp back to it's original name.

This time Ashen Rose's house made sense and the clues were just where I had thought they should be. Played the mod to completion and enjoyed it immensely.

So, a word of caution from someone who didn't follow the instructions - FOLLOW THEPRIEST909's INSTRUCTIONS!!! The mod plays well, without problems, and is well worth the download. On to GTAesgaard 2!

Look for a trap door nearby her bed ;)

If you mean the trap door to the Crypt, I've been down there and searched the place from top to bottom, opened every container (chests and cupboards), read every book, searched every surface... Still no clues.

As there are two beds in the house, I went back to the one in the basement and searched all around that one again to see if there was a trap door that I missed. No such luck.

Went back down to the crypt again and scanned everything I could think of again. Still nothing.

I must be missing something!!!

I give up!!! I arrived at Ashen Rose's and got the message to search for a clue about Ashen's whereabouts. But... That message closed the quest and left me no alternative to finding some clue. I have searched that house at least 6 times with no success. I have read in some on-line forums that there is a book with a key somewhere in the crypt. I have read (not just "opened") every book in the house (i.e. the four downstairs and the eight in the crypt), opened every chest and cupboard, searched the rafters inside and the roof outside, looked inside the two fireplaces, and scanned every inch of floors on three levels of the house.

I can't even use a console command to move the the next phase of the quest because there isn't any "current quest". I have removed almost every other mod from my game except the Dimensional Pocket and the Weapons of the Gods, all to no avail (no difference in GTA1 execution). Either I'm doing something wrong, or I've missed a secret compartment somewhere (although I've scanned every surface, floors, walls, and ceiling that I can find).

Is there something else I can do? This is not a positive influence for trying to continue with the MOD. although the comments I read on the various gamer sites certainly indicate that others are not having the same problems that I'm having. I did install the 1.1 update, and I have tried reinstalling the mod several times - same result.

You, my friend, should be getting paid by bethesda for this..., can't wait for 3, keep up the good work

Hey, Priest909, I was just wondering, will the dialog in Epsiode 3 contain any voice acting, or will it all be silent. I'll still download it either way, but I was just wondering.

Greetings everyone. All the info you need about the project are available here. BurdenBoy please take a look at the Downloads page... 2 more options besides Filefront.

Hi Priest909

I'm really interested in trying your GTA series but i cant download chapter 1 anywhere. FailFront doesnt seem to have em anymore. I won't try episode 2 because i never like to spoil things for myself.
I really hope you have a solution because now i'll just have to drop this very promising mod

Hi there, your both questlines looks awesome and I sure want to use them, but are they compatible with overhauls like OOO or ROO3?
