I haven't finished the whole quest yet, barely spending 2 hours into it before realizing I shouldn't be doing it just yet.
First things first: A) I know this mod dates from 2018 and probably won't be updated again, but nevertheless, I'd like to add a bit of criticism here. B) I'm aware I should have tested the mod during one of my several test-runs before starting the official playthrough, but I didn't... so that's on me.
With that out of the way:
I'm using Alternate Start. My character happened to begin his journey around Windhelm, and what do you know, I got a quest pointing me out to the Mill, where I stumbled across the AHO orc. He came at me like the Terminator, and no matter which option I decided to pick (I tested later reloading saves), I ended up being kidnapped. I was level 5, mind you. FIVE. Spent around two whole weeks carefully modding my Skyrim to run smoothly, studying guides, testing new saves, and was eager to breathe in all of the new mod features I had installed.
But that didn't happen because I was forced to start AHO right off the bat. Project AHO did not give me an option to choose between an immersive quest trigger (meeting the Orc) OR maybe finding a note laying on the table of a major city inn (that could be the "Optional Trigger Start"), and thus, delaying said meeting. Because of that, I was taken to your AHO quest against my will and forced to wander around the underground city, initially hoping that maybe this type of DLC sized quest would at LEAST allow me to go back out into the world and return to the Dunmer city at a later point to continue where I stopped, but no such luck. That got me really, really annoyed.
In the end, the moment I realized I was about to regret the decision of reinstalling Skyrim altogether (because of one single quest), I took a deep breath and said "Ok, I'll just load a previous save, some 3 hours ago, and avoid the Mixwater area." And that's what I did, guys. I'm not heading that way again till I am level 50 or something.
So, TL;TR, please consider adding a simple pop-up window as soon as we start the game. A fully modded Skyrim already got at least 3~4 other quest menus which you gotta decide anyways, so, what is one more menu on the list? I would much more prefer to trigger the quest from a note on a table (or stapled to the wall at the city entrance) suggesting some Orc needs assistance, than being kidnapped without any choices to resist.
Thank you for your time reading this.
You can install majority of Quest mods any time during game. Project AHO too. It is also recomended, because you can avoid potential collision, when world became inert after you clean vanilla, DLCs and DLC mods (Falskaar, Wyrmstooth).
My only problem with this mod was the sudden kidnap and "force start" without any possibilities of pausing the quest and returning to the "real world". I wasn't aware that was how things started and was caught off guard. Just that.
But what is done is done.
The "endgame" suggested by Cernakus here means for us players to try this mod after we finish the entire game and there is nothing else left to do aside roaming the map without a clear objective in sight. Having a new quest option would bring life back to the game.
I wish the start could be optional. That was my only beef here.
I did NOT endorse this mod, and I think it was one of the grandest wastes of time in Skyrim I have ever seen.
First let me tell you what is good:
The voice acting
The art direction
Let me tell you what was bad about it
Everything else.
The first major problem of this mod is that it assumes that your hero, the Dragonborn, can be knocked out by a blow to the back of the head after he has been (but not limited to) burned by dragons, attacked by bears, bitten by vampires and gone on a bender with Sanguine.
All so they can shoehorn you into selling you into slavery somehow. The very concept is stupid and the lead writer should never be allowed to work in this field ever again.
Next, you spend the next eight hours... doing effectively nothing. You start by running chores for a bunch of dunmer in their magical underground town... then somehow for some reason they just let you go presuming you wouldn't go on a psychotic murder spree and exterminating the town. You then have to do fetch missions in and out of the same stupid dwemer ruins over, and over, and over, and over again, walking huge distances designed to pad for gameplay hours instead of presenting content. Finally, when it's all over you get what amounts to a house that moves between certain dwemer ruins. Something done far better in other mods with far less time and far better story.
Overall, I want the eight hours of my life back for this. I should have known better when i saw it got awards from anything remotely mainstream as the average games journalist would thrive in this useless walking simulator.
Hard pass
I assume the dev was probably trying to combine it with alternative start - I just want to get out of here as you are very much near that quest started which would make more sense why you'd get knocked out but I haven't actually ran through the quests yet. It would have probably just been better as a you talk to them or an option in alternative start but what can you do I guess.
Also, the fact that you replied suggests you do care at least a little bit. So, you know, maybe your comment was even less useful than the one you replied to? Food for thought.
Hard pass

Hard pass.
Any samers?
You have a point, but on the other side, you can avoid those quest shenanigans. In AHO not. And it is not just fact, that some random Orc would defeat end-game demigod, you are forced another 2 hours to be literally slave of annoying, arrogant dunmer, you Dragonborn, Archmage, Harbringer, Listener, TGM, Blades leader, World Eater Beater - helpless slave.
While it will be very easy to create alternate start - when you defeat that Orc, you will recieve letter from unknow friend, who will ask you, if you will infiltrate house Telvani in AHO for some shenanigans reasons. They you will be 2 hours slave, but willingly, undercover and thus lore and gameplay friendly.
It will be minimal effort and people would have different look on this mod.
Missing member data...The heck does this mean? I haven't started the questline yet. Should I be concerned?This savefile has zeroed canaries. The cause of this seems to be related to script memory limits but it is not clear; Kinggath named it the 'canary error' if you want to search for more information. (1 items)

Otherwise an amazing mod, I wish to see more from you.
