I know a few of you have experience with VI. I am installing this now (reinstalling, actually, just to make sure I get all those meshes & textures and whatnot). I do not have any Elsweyr mods, so I won't have to worry about patches there.

So far, I am noting four archives included with Valenwood Improved: Full English, Full German, English Update, and German update. Apparently, the mod's DESC page is out-of-date. Its installation instructions say

Please unzip the archive and extract the folder completely to Oblivion\Data\ (without the *. txt). .

But that is incomplete. According to a couple random gamers in the mod's POSTS section, it's best to install..

1). Full German first
2). Full English second (overwriting stuff)
3). English Update.

Because apparently the German version has a few things missing from the English version? How does that sound, so far? Right, or wrong?

Yes, I have used Witchcraft in Lady Saga's game for years now. It has interesting results when paired with MMM and Maskar's. Most Earth-like enemies are tranquil for instance, but there will be that one exception here and there. A wolf or a bear or a mudcrab or even a mountain lion. I like this. Real predators can be unpredictable, after all.

Saga will eventually head to Valenwood herself (she's supposed to be from that province), but I wanted to go there first with Balztu. This way, when Saga goes there I will already be familiar with certain areas. Saga will be able to just head to her homeland, and so on.

They had a buggy script that let them resurrect themselves after dying, three times, but it reset every time, so they were immortal. I think it got fixed (after I sent in a patch for it), but if you got an old copy, it might still be there. The texture was changed, so you could visually tell a VI spriggan from a regular one, and avoid them.

Okay, I will let you know if I see any reviving spriggans, ghast. Good to know you contributed to this mod in the past.
