Tempus Maledictum v7.0.0, Update Log #2 (Patreon)

Well that last post got a lot more attention that I imagined it would. I honestly didn't know so many people were interested. That is...surprising and pleasant. Thank you all.

Anyway, I think I got Spellforge mostly sorted out, aside from waffling on what ingredients I'd want to use for it or if I should stick with the default options. Now it's quest mod time, which can be a lengthy endeavor.

(fun unrelated fact, I was in a national spelling bee in middle school, and I lost because I didn't know how to spell the word "endeavor" and now I'll never forget it)

So with v7, I'm sure some of you noticed the removal of a number of quest mods. Honestly they're just things I wasn't having fun with or didn't enjoy. And if you know me, you know I like my quest mods. And you may or may not also know that I originally made Tempus as a way to give myself a reason to play a bunch of quest mods I hadn't played over the years. To that end, I kind of feel like I'm going back to my roots here.

I spent some hours going through what I've missed lately, and here's what I downloaded, in no particular order:

• Just Reject Boethiah

• Missing in Action - Level and Quest Requirement

• Defeat the Dragon Cult

• Depths of the Reach

• Crimson Nirnroot Bosses

• Unmasking Sybille

• Morthal Barrow

• Fortune's Tradehouse

• Demon of Dream

• The Sunken City

• Rise in the East - Immersive Start

• The Cursed Mercenaries

• The Emperor's Bodyguard

• Tougher Dark Brotherhood Enemies

• Stronger Potema

• Sensible Quest Prerequisites (Wyrmstooth, Undeath, Dawnguard)

• Meridia's Order

• Hidden Riverwood Caverns

• Into the Abyss

• Legends of Aetherium

• Hearthstone Isles

• Darkend Unofficial Quest Addon

• Bow of Shadows - Whiterun Thane

• Adrealphus Scene Tweaks

• There is No Umbra - Chapter III

These will all need a test, and honestly I already have a decent idea of what will stay and what probably won't make the cut. But you never know, I've been surprised before. It's nice finding something cool that you expected to suck. This did also force me to compact a ton of stuff, which I generally am not a fan of doing, so...I don't know. We'll see. Fortunately I can probably knock out 80% of these in a day or two, but some of them are pretty lengthy.

Anyway, thought I'd keep you all in the loop, given the amount of readers I had on that last post. Thanks again for showing support, it's frankly overwhelming and definitely motivates me to keep going.

All the best.

Oh, on a side note: Patreon keeps throwing up these ads to "sell posts" which I think might be the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Why is this a thing?
