Mount Archon 1.1 now available!

[gamebro]

Hello source fans. We've recently realized that we forgot to upload our latest version of our mega mod "Mount Archon" to this site! 1.1 is now uploaded and available for download here at this site, and can be found here----

You can also download this mod from our web site---

You do not need 1.0 to play or install 1.1, so if you would like to play the Mount Archon mega mod, please download and install 1.1, instead of 1.0 as it had a few serious bugs. The changes we've made to 1.1 are-

 

 

Fixed the nasty boat landing crash bug in neptunia ( the rocks we used there were causing the game to crash when entering the cell)

 

Fixed the slayer platebody script, so you can actually obtain that item now.

 

Fixed a few other smaller issues.

============================

 

 

What is Mount Archon? Well as far as I know, it is still the only partial conversion, large landmass quest mod released to this day! It has been available since early may, but received very few downloads or attention. As a result of that, we've canceled our plans for the 2 sequels :ohmy:

 

Sure.... The voice acting was done on sub par equipment, and yeah it is a bit amateurish, but darnit it's funny stuff!

And yeah, the new environments are not up to par with say oblivion, or some other mods that will take years to finish (and might never finish mind you), but does anyone care or notice that this ugly looking mod is ACTUALLY FUN TO PLAY AND AVAILABLE NOW? This is not a work in progress, it is actually done!

==========================

Ok ok ok.... Sorry for the ranting.... Let's talk biz now.

 

 

 

What the hell does this mod do, and why should I care?----

 

A large new world to explore and conquer, laid out in a classic 8bit video game style. How large? well it certainly ain't no Cyrodil, but there is still a lot of new content here!

 

5 Crazy mini games hidden somewhere in the new game world.

 

20 new NPC's with voiced dialogs (over 1 hour of new dialog)

 

30+ hours of gameplay before completing the main quest (as long as you don't cheat)

 

Action packed, hack n slash RPG style gameplay, a very unique experience from vanilla oblivion.

 

Subtle changes made to many things, such as even the velocity monsters fly off with when killed. No need to check smaller corpses in this mod, so feel free to send boars launching off the mountain, and tumbling down!

 

Every creature you kill automatically earns you gold! You don't need to spend hours tediously searching corpses, which is good since you will end up killing thousands of monsters\npcs in this action packed mod on your way to the MOON! Yeah I said moon! You see, this ain't more boring Cyrodil landscape, this world (however low quality it might be) is actually different, and unique!

The game world is laid out like an old 8bit nintendo game (think Xanadu) so it has a classic game kind of feel to it. The combat system plays out very differently in this mod because you can't just wait around all day for free health! Health and magic DO NOT recharge, thus every hit you take will cost you gold!

 

What the hell is that crap?

 

That crap is big reason why this mod is much more fun to play then vanilla oblivion, that's what this crap is! Money actually serves a purpose in this mod, with many powerful items for sale in each town. The higher up the mountain you go, the better the equipment you find for sale. You don't get a full set of ebony armor just by killing some monsters, oh no, in this mod you PAY and you pay dearly for such uber items....

 

You will actually want and need to grind away on lower level monsters to build your powers and bank account. So it feels much more like an MMORPG game then oblivion does. Potions are for sale in each town, and they are the primary ways of restoring health. Because all health costs money it pays to learn the weaknesses and strengths of each monster......

And you can only carry soo many potions with you! The cheapest health per gold potions, also happen to be the heaviest! You can't just buy 10000 health potions and venture off! They are expensive and heavy, which also contributes to the very unique gameplay experience. It will feel as though you are just trying to survive at first, AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU'll BE TRYING TO DO >=-)

 

Ok so you've convinced me gamebro and now I want to play this mod...> What do I do?

 

Download 1.1, as you don't need 1.0.... Unzip the files into your Oblivion DATA folder, and if you did that part right, you should be able to check the mount archon esp ON in the DATE FILES menu of the Oblivion game launcher.

 

Start the game up now, and start a new game. If everything was done right you'll be in a house instead of the imperial prisons.... Choose your class and race by trying to leave the room. For an easier life playing through this mod, you should choose the Mountaineer class we custom built.

 

 

 

(BASIC STARTERS GUIDE-- warning contains spoilers)

 

Now try to leave the house, and ok the final messages. You will now see a shifty looking character named Captain Crapeye. Speak to him and then enter his boat via the door on the ship (please note, you will not be able to roam around Cyrodil, as we put invisowall all over the docks. ANY ITEMS YOU TAKE WITH WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE STRIPPED AWAY so don't bother collection anything from Cyrodil).

 

Once you enter the ship's door, you'll wake up next to a bed deep in the ship's bowels. Head up to the poop deck to speak with the Captain. He'll give you a disgusting task, of cleaning up a shipmates' puke. Head back down into the ship, and look for a pile of puke on the floor (yeah you can drag the puke around too lol) Next to the puke you should find a broom, and a cleaning cloth... Take those then try to use the puke, it will now disappear and you should speak to the captain again. He'll tell you to get some rest, so head back down into the ship to sleep in the bed you woke up next to..... Now head back up out of the ship again, and you'll find yourself at the Mount Archonian town of Neptunia. Speak to the captain to get the "CHILD BEATER CLUB" which will be a crude but effective weapon to use on all the pesky mud crabs blocking your way to the King's temple.

 

Beat the mudcrabs like a spoiled rotten step son, and beat them good!!! Now enter the temple and speak with the king.... Skip his messages should you find it boring to get what you really came for...>FREE MONEY!!!!! Now head to the shops in town and bling yourself out :ph34r:

 

You will need to make a choice.... Are you a man\women\beast of Blades? Or blunts? And I don't mean weed either, I mean blunt weapons!

You should either stick to buying only blade or blunt weapons throughout this game, so choose carefully! Yes you can switch over to blunts later on if you choose blade now, but you'll probably need to spend more time training then, so again choose carefully... In each new town you reach on your journey up the mountain, you will find new and better blade\blunt weapons for sale. Blades do less damage but are faster and longer reaching weapons (usually), whereas blunts do high damage but are slow. You won't miss out on anything incredible by choosing to go with blunts, everything is quite balanced here.

 

 

Are you all blinged out with iron armor and heavy duty weapons now? ONLY IF YOU CHEATED! DAYMN, this stuff is expensive huh? Looks like you'd better get yer arse out of town to, and start performing a mass GENOCIDE on all them mudcrabs for money\experience!

 

SLAY! SLAY! SLAY! Kill your way to better items and stats! Be sure to sleep in the INN keepers bed to level up once in a while to raise your stats. BUT only do so sparingly. Beds are very expensive after all.....

Once you have a set of iron armor, a good weapon, and a few spare healing potions, you should make your way up the mountain to continue on your quest.... GOOD LUCK! You'll need it!

 

SPOILER!--- The King will let you choose a sign, after killing a giant fish boss in the Dragon Guardian Temple above town (Neptunia).

 

HINT!--- You should buy the anti magic spell in Neptunia before proceeding higher up the mountain, so you can survive the dangerous attacks of the Archon Elementals you'll be running into later.

 

END!--- That's all I've got to say for now! Please download this forgotten mod and give it a chance people! We worked very hard on this mod, just to get a measly 1000 downloads :unsure: it is very sad. We believe this could\should be one of the top 5 (RELEASED) Oblivion mods, but somehow it has slipped through the community cracks mostly unnoticed. We believe in this mod strongly, only because of how fun it is to play through. Most people who have played it agree, so we ain't smoking crack. We know what we are talking about here..... I think.....

 

Bah well, either way thanks for reading :happy:
