The Forgotten City

Description
The Forgotten City is the first mod in history to win a national Writers' Guild award, and offers a unique 6 - 8 hour experience: a murder mystery investigation set in an ancient underground city. You'll need to solve it using your wits, and the ability to travel through time. It has a dark, non-linear story in which you'll interrogate suspects, explore the city and its many secrets, and navigate challenging moral dilemmas. It features multiple endings, an original orchestral score, and high-quality voice acting.

Excellent mod!!! Multiple endings, morally grey choices, a unique soundtrack!

The only downside for me is that I've got a bug which makes it so that the standard "city ambience" music from this mod is now the only one that queues when playing anywhere else in game (riverwood, windhelm, the blue palace, etc. All now only have that music playing, which is annoying and sickenning to say the least. the music is great, but I've now heard it so much that I'm starting to dream of it, so I'll be uninstalling the mod. Will play again with a different character, though!

This mod is certainly worth playing. However, I recommend the standalone game with the same name. The standalone version is much more polished, has more edges rounded and even better acting. Oh, and although you will recognise characters from the mod, the story is new and plenty of gameplay mechanics received a well-deserved overhaul.

Oh boy...I hope you all know about the standalone game that has been released under the same name, it leaves a mark on your soul...in a good way!

I played this a couple of years ago and still find myself talking about the story and recommending it to my friends.
Just play it.

The worst part of this mod is that it ruined skyrim for me. I simply can't enjoy vanilla skyrim quests because they don't hold a candle to the amazing storytelling of this mod. 11/10 mod, can't recommend it enough.

I'm several years late, but this was amazing!!
Holy moly I did not expect such an immersive experience for free in Skyrim.
Glad I downloaded this on a whim. Felt like playing a whole different game.

If you read this and consider playing this, you should! However, do bring a buttload of lockpicks with you.

this looks interesting

Great story. Loved playing this.
sampsonite 6 Feb, 2022 @ 7:48pm 
does anyone know how to get the key for the trapdoor inside the sunken house that appears after you complete the full quest?
xMR.CREDOx 30 Dec, 2021 @ 9:22am 
It's easily the best quest mod for Skyrim I've ever came across. Excellent storytelling, solid voice acting, engaging little side quests, NPCs are way more memorable than vanilla NPCs, each has it's story and feels like a real character. I wonder what a legendary and ageless game Skyrim might be if all vanilla big questlines were done as great as this is...
