Where and when does the Mod start? I looked at the map, rested for 12 hours sleeping in bed and nothing.

this mod was a waste of time loot is pitiful, mobs are few,story line is weird and ITS NOT FINISHED!? ya ring me when its done

Very good mod wish someone would finish it..

Adanar its been 2 years since your comment hmmm any updates yet on finishing the 3rd chapter.?? Thanks to the mod producer

dude, is this ever going to get finished?

he seems to be stuck outside markhart. do i need to not have followers with me?

As ChopMaster has said at least 3 times now and as is said in the description, only 2 chapters are complete so far, it's not a bug that Sebastian waits outside Markarth and the quest won't advance, it's because there isn't any more quest to advance at the moment, have some patience and use your eyes in future before just commenting "waah shit mod that don't work hurr durr".

im stuck on evading the thalmot first mision

ı have the same problem as maybe cat ı met up with sebastion but nothing hapened nothing

Stuck on Evading the Thalmor. I met up with Sebastian outside Markorth and fought the mercanaries that show up and even waited several in game days, but neither the quest log nor Sebastians dialog will update.

Followers usually get in my way but ill keep that if itgets too hard

@Castiel: You should be okay -- I'd always advise having a follower with you, and Sebastian doesn't take up the single follower slot.

@SurienRain1031: You can use a pickaxe to mine the blockade, and then escape the tunnel. I made sure to spawn an extra one in there, so you should be good.

Hi I'm loving the mod so far but I seem to be stuck in nchuand zel with the quest defend against hermaeus moras defenses. I defeated everything I could but I cannot escape and sebastian keeps running towards the blockade but won't talk to me at all

im level 70 so will it still be dfficult

thank you

@Assassin Mioshi Dragonborn: I'm about to finish my big publish run for Organic Factions, and then swing back to SotDG. Can't give a date ATM, but will keep people posted!

when will the 3rd chapter some out?

Okay thanks, looking foward to the next stages!

@Chieftan Lucas : Hey, glad you like the story thus far! Correct, when you finish Voices From The Abyss, that's it for now. Sebastian has that option to wait outside of Markarth just so players have a place to safely drop him off / pick him up if they want him along for other adventures. Either way, he does NOT take up a follower slot.

Loving the mod so far, great job. Butat the start of Evade the thalmor the quest just stops and wont advance. any ideas as to why? I have read the part above that only chapters 1 and 2 are compleate is that refering to each quest as they are compleated?

@harry01.miles : Thx, glad you liked it! :) Any hopes or guesses for the upcoming chapters?

okay thanks by the way great mod

@harry01.miles : Heya! Nope, you're all done -- you should be able to check your journal and see that Voices from the Abyss is done. The option to let Sebastian wait outside Markarth was added because some folks didn't want him to necessarily follow them around perpetually; he does NOT take up a follower slot if you DO choose to let him follow you, BTW.

just wondering somthing i just finniched the part of the quest that sebastian says he needs to wait outside markarth. my question is. is that all of the quest or is there another part to do

@Aleph Sharp: Hey thx :) Yep, I plan on porting this over to SSE in a bit, I'm finishing up work on Organic Factions at the moment.

@ChopMasterOnion Thank you! i played in original skyrim, and loved the mod (I think i've even commented earlier in this comment section about it), but now I am running Skyrim SE, as there are certain mods and updates for it that i really like, and was just missing a few mods from original, so i'm asking all the authors of my favorite mods to please put them there, so far, you are one of the few who responded, so thanks! i hope to enjoy the mod again on SE soon, along with the rest of the mod to be added hopefully soon.

@AlephSharp and @sithblade7: Thanks! To answer your questions:

Yes, still working on it.
Yes, will be released for SSE.
You can always give it a spin, and then ask Sebastian to just wait outside of Markarth while you do other things. He can optionally be told to follow as well, he doesn't take up a follower slot.

@^Merlin: As per the Quest Log and previous comments here, that's just the end of Chapter 2 (there's no new Quest that starts). The whole "camp outside of Markarth" thing was just a "holding point" where you can drop off Sebastian if you don't want him tagging along all the time (though he does not take up a follower slot).

please help, im stuck trying to find Sebastians contact

As well as for the first and older skyrim, of course, in continuation of Aleph's question?
Also, you're quite welcome.
You're one of the first mod creators to bother to reply, honestly.
I'll be sure to subscribe and reccomend the moment your work on this mod is complete.

Thank you again!

if this is still being worked on, can it be released on the nexus for skyrim special edition?

@Sithblade7: Thanks so much for the well wishes and concern. :) I'm working on some foundation pieces that will be incorporated into this mod, mainly Organic Factions. You can check out more info here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/comments/4us1nb/organic_factions_beta_v03_has_been_released/

I hope you don't mind my asking, but is this mod still being worked on? I've seen many amazing mods fall into the cracks, and I couldn't bear to see one that's had this much work done fall over so easily.
Signed, a very concerned fan.

Aaaaah okey ty <3

@Lurgax: If you've finished Voices from the Abyss (the Quest shows it's complete), then congrats! You've finished the two chapters thus far. The whole "Sebastian waits outside of Markarth" thing was put in there at the request of players that wanted an option to leave Sebastian at a static spot while they went off adventuring elsewhere.

At the second quest , i'm talking to sebastian , i use all dialogues , but nothing happened , what i must to do ?

@charles.patterson1: Glad you liked the fights! :) Weird, the main dungeon Nchuand-Zel doesn't have any elevators / lifts -- just some ramps and staircases that lead from Markarth UnderStone Keep down into the ruin. Perhaps you have another mod which alters Nchuand-Zel which added in an elevator / lift?

I think I am missing a key. to open the gate to the lift. I started a new toon. The fights were great, but I think I was a little under leveled qan had not accomplished enough to get the key to the lift. If the lift isn't the way out. Then I was just too blind or not clever enought to find the way out.

@charles.patterson1: What dilemma are you facing that's keeping you in there? A boss fight? Or something else?

Yes, the quest started fine. I have spent a few days now trying to get out. Getting ready to start a new toon out of frustration.

@charles.patterson1: Are we takling about the same ruins? The one inside Markarth's UnderStone Keep? (Nchuand-Zel)

The Quest should start with you running into Sebastian and an inquisitor in Markarth's Shrine of Talos.

I am hoping I didn't jump into this too soon. I started the questline and killed all the Mora in the excavationsite. The only other 'out' I have found is the loicked gate inside the ruins. The problem is, I don't have that key. I picked the key from Sabastian, but that isn't the correct one. Did I start this quest too soon?

@ChopMasterOnion I bet so I think the concept of organic factions is school although if it were an actual mod im sure it'd be very reccomended and well liked. gives more immersion and choices

@TheSugarGodFather: The good news is I'm still working on it, and several other modders are checking it out too! There's a lot more debate over on the Nexus site, as well as on Reddit under /r/SkyrimMods. The modding community there is freaking awesome, full of really talented people.

@ChopMasterOnion: sorry ive never modded before I was hoping that was a thing though as a full up mod. it seems like a very interesting thing though I wonder why developers of the game never come up with theses ideas and leave some parts unfinished or cut from the game

@AlephSharp: Glad you like it so far! I'd love to hear your final take once you finish things up.

@AlephSharp: Ah sure, you should be able to console back in with "coc nchuandzel05".

@TheSugarGodFather: That's a separate mod, and it's a *framework* / tool kit for other modders, not a collection of Factions. The only Faction that comes bundled is a Forsworn group in Deepwood Vale, mainly for demonstration purposes.

Do you mod at all? Would you want to try to build your own Organic Faction using the Creation Kit?

How does the organic faction work exactly if you start your own faction?

I just realized a way out, unfortunately, i had another quest mod which teleported me somewhere as soon as i reached a certain level (which happened because of the spiders) so now i'm out of the excavation site, but the quest didn't update, is there a console command that will allow me to complete the "escape the mine" section of the quest and advance to the next part? and before you ask, I don't know what quest mod it is, seeing as i have over a hundred mods, quite a few of which are quest mods, on skyrim, so I can't uninstall the one that did it and reload back unfotunately. thank you. P.S. I really enjoy what I've seen so far, looking forward to continuing through the mod alot, it reminds me of the older elder scrolls: oblivion quests.

@IGCrazyMe: Hey, thanks for the feedback! I appreciate the heads up, I'll look into tweaking the spider spawners to perhaps reduce quantity, but up their stats to balance things out.

FYI, if you have any kind of AOE spells or staves (Fireball, Ice Storm, etc.), or you use an AOE Shout (Fire Breath, Frost Breath, etc.), it'll wipe out the spiders very quickly.

I'll look into ways of slimming down that dialogue -- I wanted to put some complex twists in there, but I don't want to leave the player "hanging" too long.
