“Pain…the secret face of pleasure.
Pleasure… a dark rose at the edge of pain.
Together, as the everlasting flames that burn the soul of a true-loving heart,
they sculptured the fifth element; the essence that the gods and the demons are made of”.

02. Recommendations by the authour
================================================== ==============================

01. Read the instructions carefully before installing or playing this plugin.

02. It is recommended that you don't use "Night eye Effects". The only result it can cause is to spoil the experience you would have without it.

03. It is recommended that you don't use console cheat codes. They will probably break the quest-line and cause failure to complete it.

04. Although Gates to Aesgaard 2 has been succesfully tested with a variety of other mods, it is recommended that you don't use unofficial plugins that modify already existed items.

05. Gates to Aesgaard - ep.2 has been created on vanilla oblivion for vanilla oblivion and only official plugins are recommended. If you do use other unofficial plugins, please make sure that they are compatible with Gates to Aesgaard 2 before installing or playing the game.

06. It is recommended that you don't use texture or mesh replacements. This project has been created with respect to the quality balance of vanilla Oblivion. If you do use texture or mesh replacements you may notice unbalanced results in quality.

07. It is recommended that you don't use companion mods to any other world space besides Carhenia. They will spoil the experience you would have without them. If you do, please make sure that your companion mod is marked as "essential" and that it supports summoning.

08. It is recommended that you don't use unofficial lighting or weather mods. They will either cause bugs or spoil the experience you would have without them.

09. It is recommended that you don't use overpowered weapons, armors, spells or code-made characters. They will spoil the experience you would have without them.

10. It is recommended that you don't deactivate the border region or the autosave function by modifying the ini text.

11. Depending on your character's level, game's difficulty might change. Use game's difficulty level control to set the required difficulty.

12. The first-person camera mode is recommended for the maximum experiance of this quest.

================================================== ==============================
03. Requirements
================================================== ==============================

01. The Elder Scrolls IV - Oblivion
02. Oblivion 1.2.0416 Patch
03. 1,2GB of free hard-disk space

================================================== ==============================
04. Installation
================================================== ==============================

General rule:
Before installing any unofficial plug-in, backup your save-games.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

To install Gates to Aesgaard - ep.2:

-Step 01. Run GTAEPII.exe to auto-extract the required data into your oblivion data folder.

-Step 02. Open the Oblivion Launcher and select Data Files.

-Step 03. Tick both GTAesgaard_2.esm (Master File) and GTAesgaard_2.esp (Player File).

-Step 04. Play.

To uninstall Gates to Aesgaard - ep.2:
Click the start menu and use the "Unistall_GTAEPII.exe" located at the "Gates to Aesgaard 2" folder.

Note: The installer contains one (1) esm file, one (1) esp file, one (1) bsa archive and three (3) bink video files. There will be no manual installation version, so please, do not ask for it.

================================================== ==============================
05. Load-Order
================================================== ==============================

Landscape issues may appear in game if another esm that alters the landscape affects GTAesgaard_2.esm or vice versa.
Solution: Use Timeslip's Oblivion Mod Manager (Timeslip's Oblivion utilities and mods) to change the load order and set GTAesgaard_2.esm right after Oblivion.esm

The load order should look like this:

Load-Order:
--------------
Oblivion.esm
GTAesgaard_2.esm
*
All other ESMs

All other ESPs
*
GTAesgaard.esp

================================================== ==============================
06. Known bugs/issues to understand
================================================== ==============================

01. Landscape issues may appear in game if another esm that alters the landscape affects GTAesgaard_2esm or vice versa.
Solution: Check the load order section for more info.

02. Because of an unknown (and very rare) bug, the second part of the dialog between Claudius Otillus and the player might fail to start correctly. (It happened only twice during the final beta testing so, don't worry about it).
Solution: Save your game after exiting the "Engine of Creation". If the dialog fail to start just reload and play again.

================================================== ==============================
07. Compatibillity
================================================== ==============================

01. Other mods that contain esm files that alter the landscape may conflict with Gates to Aesgaard-ep2. Check the load-order section for more info.

02. Gates to Aesgaard-ep2 is not compatible with weather modifications that use scripts to set the weather instead of the normal region editor (such as Natural Environments
or Enchanced Weather). They will either cause bugs, performance issues and crashes or spoil the experience you would have without them.
Their authours should update their scripts with conditions that prevent the weather changes from happening to other world spaces besides Tamriel.

03. Gates to Aesgaard-ep2 is not compatible with any mod that alters the landscape at any of the following cells.
Tamriel 6, 39
Tamriel 5, 39
Tamriel 5, 38
Tamriel 6, 38
Tamriel 7, 38
Tamriel 7, 39
Tamriel 6, 40
Tamriel 7, 40
Tamriel 37,-14

04. Gates to Aesgaard-ep2 might not be compatible with mods that change the way the original loading doors work.

NOTE: Gates to Aesgaard 2 has been succesfully tested with a variaty of other mods. Some of them are:
Beth's official DLCs, FCOM, OOO, OWC, MMM, Deadly Reflex 5, Unofficial oblivion patch, several body replacers, beatiful people, and many more.
With the right load-order, Gates to Aesgaard 2 should be compatible with almost everything.

[ThePriest909]

gauravlasaria! after exiting the engine of creation and after opening the iron gate a dialog will start between you and Cladous Otilus. Once the Archpriests are dead, Claudious Otilus will ask for the soul-sphere. Once the dialog ends a "blood-portal" will appear. Follow Claudious. If the second dialog fail to start correctly (read the read-me file for more info) reload form the "autosave" and replay. there's no walkthrough available yet and there will not be by me at least. Fun-made walkthroughs are wellcome.

[gauravlasaria]

how do i open the iron gate?????

[gauravlasaria]

after exiting engine of creation how do i open the iron gate

[gauravlasaria]

i don't see any lever to open the iron gate please help me out.

[gauravlasaria]

i searched the whole fortress but i can't find anything to open the iron gate

[gauravlasaria]

i have installed 226 mods and i have even played them all but i never got stuck in any of those mods this is the first and i think there is a bug even the read me file says so and i'm having an hard time to accept failure in this quest i have played this 3 times and i'm stuck at the same point but i wont give up so please tell me of a patch to fix this bug coz (after exiting the engine of creation and after opening the iron gate a dialog will start between you and Cladous Otilus ) This does not happen so tell me more of my problemand please mail me at gauravlasaria@gmail.com

[ThePriest909]

At the top of the stairs to the iron gate look at your right side of the gate. there's a small level. Activate it. With 226 installed mods I can't believe that GTAesfaard 2 is working right. lol. GTAesgaard 2 has been designed for vanilla oblivion. There are zero problems on vanilla oblivion. I can't say the same if more that 100 mods are installed though.

[Acezorz]

Hey there, nice mod! I really enjoyed the first one, however on this one none of the cinematic 'visions' are working at all, the only cinematic is the first introduction one (with all the credits).. Any idea why? I'm missing out on a big part of the mod!
