Play Tested And Reporting
Xeth Ban let people test level 1 after decoration, and I have some things to say. I would have put this in "Talk About Forever Dungeon," but I thought if all the feedback was put into one thread, it wouldn't clutter up the others.
-------
So here it goes...
Upon entering the cell, I walked forward and read the note by all the skulls. What does it mean when it says "Not even multiplayer could save this?" I took a left, and after a while, there was an urn with some scrolls in it. I took the scrolls and continued on to the room with the 3 skeletons. That room has some major mobility issues; I got stuck a few times. You may want to consider moving the flaming mummies out of the way. I "awoke" the skeleton, and beat him. After he died, another one appeared, and I died.
I reloaded and went there again, but the urn with the scrolls was gone. Note the candles. I went into the room with the skeletons, and everything was fine. I got up to get a drink, and when I got back to my computer, the middle skeleton was gone.
I went back to the beginning and took a right instead of left.
Again, the fire was in the way a little. Consider moving it to the very corner, or putting a less space-consuming light source there. I went down the stairs, and I'll be honest, the hidden door was a little easy to find. I was even more surprised with what was inside it. This kind of felt like cheating...
All in all, I found 3 hidden doors. How many are there? In one, there was some knight's stuff with what looks like a grandmaster's armorer's hammer behind the altar. I can't reach!
Somewhere else, I noticed a simple space between statics. Hole in the wall
In the room beyond, the dwemer coins were a little hard to see, and when I picked them up, ghosts should have attacked be, but there wasn't enough room in the area. They had to wait until I opened the door. Not enough room
I thought it was well-decorated and had a good layout; all I noticed was those little things. However... (prepare for personal opinions)
-I don't think "cursed items" like the dwemer coins should be in the first few levels. That would put the player on their guard for the entire dungeon. I think it should wait until around level 7 for the first one (and only one). If they see there is a tendancy for cursed items to be often and in quantity, then they will expect it all the time, ruining the surprise.
-If I sold everything I found in level 1, I estimate (with the scrolls, silver swords on the skeletons, potions, and dwemer coins- plus the gold I found) the value would come to 2k at least. It seems a little much considering the ease of the level, and the fact my character was level 1.
Don't get the wrong impression, I liked it. I thought it was good. I'm just reporting this stuff.

Re: Play Tested And Reporting
Ever meat M'Aiq the liar? he is an easter egg character that have many topics, among them one called "Multiplayer" when this topic is selected he says:
"M'Aiq does not know this word. You wish others to help you in your quest? Coward! If you must, search for the Argonian Im-Leet, or perhaps the big Nord, Rolf the Uber. They will certainly wish to join you."
Close to the note you find the head of Im-Leet and the skull of Rolf the Uber, it is basicly a joke/easter egg
--------------------------------------------------------------------
we'll just remove that light source in the middle of the room instead, gives you all the mobility you need. The attacking skeleton thing is midgetaliens work.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Thats odd, i have no idea what might be causing this, i have no idea why the skeleton was gone either, possible because the mod is not clean or that your savegame is not clean.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, we'll move it out of the way, i had no trouble moving there though, and seriously, the wraithguard you find is a fake one, an is extremly powered down, it does not even have half of the power of the original one.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
There are 3 in all, the knight one is midgetaliens work, the hammer was a hidden "treasure" you are supposed to have to use telekinesis to reach it, thats the point.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
hmmm, that's odd, i didn't notice anything like that while testing, oh well.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
There were more than enough room when i tested : / and i even picked up all of them at once
--------------------------------------------------------------------
hah! they are not supposed to be surprises, they are supposed to just annoy the player ^^ all dungeons i have played in all sorts of games have that kind of things
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The beasties have not been placed there yet, thats midgetaliens job, i agree with the scrolls thing though, but the stuff that were originaly on the skeletons were worth much more, midgetalien had placed skeletons that had one exquisite ring and one expensive ring on them, wich is worth more than the silver longswords
thanks for testing and giving this detailed report!

Re: Play Tested And Reporting
I believe that cursed items should be a surprise, too.
I mean, why anoyance? It's supposed to be a crazy dungeon, not everything needs to be cursed. Every few levels or so, I would guess.
Also, Wraithguard in the first level? Even if it is powered down, an artifact as unique as Wraithguard, be it fake or not, might need to be put down in the higher levels.

Re: Play Tested And Reporting
well midgetalien toned it down, and even if he didn't an ebony bracer would be better than it

Re: Play Tested And Reporting
How bout a simple retexture of a silver gauntlet, and just make it a bit of a scale-looking gauntlet, and call it an Alt Scale Gauntlet.
Or something?
