CuckoldBen Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) So ive been playing skyrim for a while and my favourite mod has to be Alternate start mod. It has been on my mod list since the day I started moding skyrim and while I've tried realm of Lokhan, I still think Alternate start provides more roleplay and is the better option of the two. RoL is still good and has much better character customisation but lacks the RP alternat start has.I just wish there was a starter mod that gave you a tiny starter quest to motivate your character to go somewhere instead of someone coming up to you and saying, "I've got some work for you if you're interested traveller". Like as an example of what I mean here are some ideas:- You are a farmer and bandits are strong arming you for gold but you don't have any.- A thief stole a precious item and now you are going to get it back.- You are the son/daughter of a noble getting married off to someone like f*$%ng Harrald or ingun blackbriar.- You find someone dear to you dead and swear vengeance by finding the people responsible.ETC.A tiny quest like this can make such a large difference when starting a character in skyrim there was a successor for alternate start which is really feeling its age now. Moding is hard and I thank all moders for doing their hard and committed work and Im sure i'll see some kind of successor although I'm still curious why there are so few alternate start mods skyrim.

showler Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Alternate Start - Live Another Life allows for add-ons. People have made a few. If no one has made one like you suggest, then apparently there is no interest in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7531Leonidas Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Take a look at Alternate Perspective ( https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/50307 ) and its add-ons. I am not currently using the latest version, but I enjoyed it, if a bit bugged. The latest version may work out a bunch of those, but I think that the add-ons probably need bug-stomping...

DuneMage Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 I am currently using Skyrim Unbound-Reborn in place of Alternate Start (I'm on 1.6.640). Working very nicely for me with some new options to try as well. I set it to play as a non-dragonborn character which changes the game quite a bit.

LostForrest Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 After many years of modding experience I have now finally started making a mod of my own. According to a friend of mine the game looks old even with upgraded textures. I honestly kinda doubt that and textures can be upgraded with mods. The models are in the middle ages so if you want to keep the game light you won't be able to update them much even in 2022. Animations can be injected but are starting to reach limit as they can not be implemented into master file. (FNIS and Nemesis have limits at 10-15k animations). People have gotting a bit bored of the core game mechanics. If you consider for modding this is still the best place in 2022 to make game content in the medieval time. If you go to modern time cyberpunk has prob surpassed this game. Overal this game is aging. I am not certain much people will download my mod. So the overall reward for the effort is seriously declining. Thats why there are no new alternatives and might not come either. It might be more rewarding to wait for a new elder scrolls and inject new made mods and models into that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
