@clintmich and others: If you'd know, how many english-made mods we play in Germany, that are not translated at all. We'd miss a lot of fun, if we'd leave them aside! Translating such an huge quantitiy of dialogue ist an immense lot of work, (believe me, I know) and one should really be thankful to the translator. Take your time and read the subtitles.
If you remember the time, when e.g. Heart of the dead was released, it first had no voice acting at all and nevertheless it was praised, for the immersive story. The same goes for Adash, you'd miss many, many hours of excellent game-playing, if you'd not even give it a try. And there will be a chapter IV, which ist already work in progress, so we have something to look forward, too.

@little_british88: Have a look at the Readme, there are hints for the most difficult puzzles.


P.S.: Voted for file of the month! :)

First of all, i have to say i have given my vote for file of the month.

Finally the community has a new big quest mod of high quality with an inmmersive story.

I don`t really care about the language.

It's a huge mod with lot's of work and detail put into it.

Period.

PD: I really could do use a walkthrough or a hint because i'm stuck in the very beginning (3rd entry in the journal) and i don't know if there is something wrong in terms of compatibility with others modss or itīs just me and my very poor imagination.

Thanks again for sharing.

First of all: much thanks to LordKain for all the work he and his team have done on this mod.

Second: It's foolish to reject a mod that offers you a great deal of extra gameplay, simply because it uses subtitles rather than voiceovers. Attempting to convince the modder to do another set of extremely time-consuming voiceovers for 4500 lines is ridiculous, and simply won't work. You want English voiceovers? Do a mod with that much voiced content from 130 NPCs, yourself. See how easy it is.

Third: For those who are having difficulty downloading with bad speeds from World of Elder Scrolls, Scharesoft is much faster.

Fourth: I do have a few questions, before downloading and running this mod:

Is it predominantly combat-oriented? Are the battles scaled to the player character's level? Are the rewards scaled to the player character's level? (I'm currently running a 5th level PC, so it's reasonable to ask.) Is it possible to leave Adash and return to it repeatedly, so as to mix it with other mods one has in progress? Can the player character bring along companions?

LordKain, again, good luck with this!

A little trouble in the quest: Chapter two: The Grave Of A Thousand Ways. Every time I try to repeat the same melody as the light in the room called "Ruins Under The Grave." I get the message that appears when I hit the first note: "Bad tune playing". I also tried to play the melody backwards but to no avail. Can give me a indication ?

EDIT: I finally found what was missing! The puzzles are becoming more complex.

@jamelgo: There is german video walktrough for the prolog you can find here:

@Balakirev: Some battles are scaled, some are not. The rewards are often so called Arca Perls, which you can spend for special spells in Adash.
You can leave Adash as you want and come back after finishing the prolog.
A lot of german players used companions. So I think there's no real problem with that.

@trinn: You can activate the subtitles in the menu. Just be sure that you activated the normal subtitles and the general subtitles.

@Balakirev: Companions should be told to stay defensive during combat, then there should be no problems. During a special quest I had a very aggressive - summonable - "companion", who spoilt the quest by attacking the boss.

So far, I've only had one issue. The part with the daedra statues, some of it is in german. The "Prince of Nimmerda" is sheogorath, prince of madness. and Modderfenn isn't a part of english oblivion, in english, Vaermina's realm is Quagmire.

Edit: Had some mistakes here, my bad
