JumpUnfortunately it is pretty buggy and can get tetchy if played as part of a heavily modded game. I’ve just finished a play-through and did get to the end, but it took a number of console workarounds to get there. Here’s what I wish I’d
known/remembered a few days ago, to save a lot of fiddling (I play Skyrim LE, but these fixes should be just as good for SE players). Warning: major spoilers ahead...
The bridge puzzle in Rite of Passage may seem impossible. It can be done without cheating, but if you get stumped hit the console key (`) and make sure that nothing is targeted. Then type ‘tcl’ (without the inverted commas) hit return and turn off the console. Fly to Hawker, and repeat the above to turn on clipping again.
If you’ve used a Helgen improving mod, Salms may get stuck there during the Infiltration mission.You can move him to the other side of the obstruction with the console. (Console key, click on Salms to target him, console off, walk
around the obstruction, console on again and type ‘moveto player’, return, console off.)
The quest Covert Action Part I won’t start if you’ve already stolen Fedave's smithing room key. You just read the mission document at that ends the quest Infiltration, but then nothing happens. The only fix I’ve found is to load a save from before you stole the key. The quest should then start as normal when you end the Infiltration quest. Also, I invariably find that killing smith Urzob (necessary to move CovertAction Part I on) always causes a CTD. This is definitely a game breaking bug, but there is a fix. What you need to do is sneak into her room, hit the
console key, click on her to get her ID targeted by the console, then type ‘kill’ and hit enter. She will drop dead and the quest will move onwithout causing a terminal crash. If Covert Action Part I flatly refuses to start, you might have to entirely skip that quest. [Console key, type ‘completeQuest DreeArmQuestMQ03’, return, type ‘Setstage DreeArmQuestMQ04 5’, return, close the console.] The next quest, When the DawnBreaks, should then start automatically.
When the Dawn Breaks can get stuck if Tarene fails to pick up the book to hand it to you. This is caused by the scripts traffic-jamming. Save the game and then immediately re-load the new save. That untangles the scripts and should get her moving.
Covert Action Part II often refuses to start. You can skip it to move on with the overall mod. [Consolekey, type ‘completeQuestDreeArmQuestMQ05’, return,type ‘Setstage DreeArmQuestMQ06 5’, return, close console.]
The next quest, Under the Moonlight, is deeply flawed in several ways. Don’t try to follow the Vaden party, as instructed. Every time they get attacked (and they will be – everyone hates them) your cover will be mysteriously blown and that’s the end of the adventure. So, when they get ready to leave the secret base, run ahead of them and, as soon as you’re outside, fast travel to Ivarstead. Just wait there, an hour at a time, checking Vaden’s progress on the map after each wait. After about three or four waits he should be at the meeting point with Little Bird (a bit west of Iverstead north of the lake). Approach them in sneak mode and listen from a safe distance. Little Bird can also be a sod. His scripts get tangled so, if he doesn’t move after the meeting, save and then reload the new save to untangle his rotten little brain. He may also get lost on the short walk to the Agents’ secret base (especially if you’ve got an Iverstead improving mod). Just go a little south of Iverstead (to the not-so-secret base) and either wait or sleep at the nearby hunter’s camp. I found a 4 hour sleep moved the quest on to the next stage (Little Bird’s quest marker will be above the entrance to the secret base, and the entry hatch will now be unlocked.)
I hope the next two quests (Covert Action Part III and GuiltyUntil Proven Innocent – console designation DreeArmQuestMQ07and DreeArmQuestMQ08) start OK for you (they always have for me). Unlike Covert Action parts 1 and 2 they contain major plot points. If you’re unlucky, see the skip mission fix above. The mod will progress, but you’ll have to read the walkthrough (under the file tab on the Agent of Righteous Might Nexus page) to see what you missed. (By the way, don't try to find 'Hooded Mystic Dawn Robes' when told to by the quest log. Hooded and unhooded are both titled 'Mystic Dawn Robes'. Just keep trying-on robes in the Store Room, until you find one with a hood.)
One Step Ahead can CTD when you grab the sigil stone (to travel back to the secret base). This is caused if you saved during the long and heavily scripted trial section of Guilty Until Proven Innocent. Never save if you suspect that a big script is running (especially from an older mod like ARM). All subsequent saves will carry the truncated script and will cause instability and CTDs. The only fix is to go back to a save before the one that caused the problem. As a rule of thumb, in any Bethesda game, if the player character gets nailed to the floor while someone
talks at them, then a script is running and you shouldn’t save. (The same is true for saving while using blacksmithing equipment.)
Finally, in general, the secret base can be grindy and unstable on older PCs. The ARM mod was rather ambitious when designing a base with so many wandering cultists. I highly recommend using meh321’s Crash Fixes mod (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/72725) to reduce the grief of sudden CTDs. But save often in there anyway, when there are no scripts running.
And don't be put off trying the mod by all of the above. It mostly runs perfectly and is one of the very best DLC-sized mods for Skyrim.
I have some additional tips that should make it less frustrating as well if anyone is looking to start it:
1. The playstyle is really geared around a mage + thief/sneaky build - from both a roleplay style and missions
2. Recommend you have at least clairvoyance (for the maze that is secret mythic dawn hq), muffle, and bound sword and bound bow
3. When you start the first infiltration quest, before you go have a player home or other safe storage and put weapons and armor in it to get later, potions of invisibility and lockpicks too. Goldenhills plantation is a good choice in AE due to its location. Put mehrune's razor away too if you got it (which you probably did to get the daedra hearts to start the quests in this mod) and some gold.
4. Fragments of the past, daedra's best friend and black star are pretty much going to be required to complete to get started in this mod to get the items needed for the temple of stendarr
5. really is best for a one-off play through vs main play through
6. avoid any mods that touch helgen, rorikstead or ivarstead (so helgen reborn and death consumes all for example)
I am now facing problems with Guilty until Proven Innocent; After the first 'how will you reply box' (One of you three is Guilty!), Peric runs off and the quest doesn't progress. I haven't had luck with my above Setstage Powers, so I am using the CompleteQuest command to bypass it and start One Step Ahead. I am also having trouble there (Athrens are not going into the portal, and getting too close locks me up). I will update if I find a Solution!
Dropping this mod out of my list.
Edit: Used console command tcl to get through the door.
but the base of Remnants made me mad, too much of a maze and I really had enough pretty soon to the point that it ruined my experience to the mod.
To find my way everytime in that maze to find the different npc I had to speak with it was very annoying.
Also the story doesn't always make much sense...
Anyway nice mod, just not for me, or it was ok also for me, but to a point.
I am going to overhaul the interior of that motherfucking fortress. So help me god, I will make that place NAVIGABLE AND SENSIBLE.
Because this story is AMAZING and DESERVES IT. I want to be able to replay this without giving myself a migraine trying to make my way through all the twists and turns and dead-ends of that damn labyrinth.
