commanderriker Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 So I recently began playing the Tears of the Fiend mod. I'm pretty sure I have the latest version, like 1.0.2.2 or something like that. Its worked fine up until now ---Possible spoilers ahead, be aware--- I'm at the part where you must mine to get past a section of rock wall in the excavation site. Alessia has given me the mining pick, and I walk up to the wall, and I get the message saying "what do you want to do?" and I have chosen both several times. Each time, nothing happens. I try going back to Alessia, but she just tells me to go back while she makes the campsite more hospitable. This has happened on two different computers. Both, however, have the same mods installed. I do not believe its the result of mod conflicts, but it could be, I suppose. Oblivion is fully updated, with the GoTY Edition, so it has Knights of the Nine and The Shivering Isles, and I added all of the DLC's. Would the Unofficial Oblivion Patch help this? What's causing this? Am I doing something wrong? Any help, ideas, or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetsuboketti Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 (edited) It has been quite some time since I played through the mod, but I believe that you have to choose the option that makes you "dig". You have to pick that option a few times, while [i think] time itself advances between your attempts, before eventually clearing the way. Also, there is no animation for digging so don't be thrown off by that. edit:typo Edited January 8, 2011 by Zetsubo Ketti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commanderriker Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 Thanks for the reply, Zetsubo. I do choose the one that makes you dig. The problem is, nothing happens. SO here is what happens, in order. I go to the rock wall, and the message appears. I tell it to start digging. Then nothing happens. I try going back to the campsite, and sleeping, but when I go back to the wall, nothing has changed. The other problem is that I can only get the message to activate once. Then, the next time I go back, nothing happens. The message does not appear again, so I can't tell it to dig again, I have to reload a save game for the message to appear again. Am I just not waiting long enough or something? Again, help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetsuboketti Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Sorry about the incorrect information from earlier, but I misremembered the details of that section of the mod. From the walkthrough: Return to the section of the Rock wall that prevents you from progressing further into the tunnel system, stand there for a few seconds and when prompted choose to "Set to work on the Rock wall." Like searching yourself for any signs on your body earlier in the quest, the chance to break the rock wall is based on a probability algorithm. If you fail, just keep trying again and again, and eventually you will break through.If you still cannot get the option to come up again no matter how long you stand near the blockage, you may have a mod conflict, so you might have to try to disable some of your mods until you get past this section. Also, I am not sure were you got your copy of this mod from, but my version [1.22] came with the aforementioned walkthrough in htm format that I have attached in a zip file for your perusal. Be aware the guide is heavy with spoilers, so try not to read too far ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commanderriker Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 ALright, thanks. I have too many mods opperating with my current character, so I'll try a new one. But again, thanks. I'm pretty sure I do have the latest version of the mod, 1.22. Again, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
