What if you weren’t the Dragonborn

Since Obilvion I’ve always liked the idea of playing a game without the weight of the world on the player’s shoulders, but that’s clearly not the case in Skyrim. So for a while now my brain has wanted to try making an overhaul/follower mod to add someone else as the Dragonborn that you get to help on his journey. Of course I also have zero modding experience and what I do know of the process screams that this would be a near impossible task. But I still think it would be so cool to say, spare a bandit you find in Bleak Falls Barrow only to watch him absorb that first dragon’s soul right in front of you.

Use "Live Another Life" mod and just don't do the Bleak Falls Quest.

You can give yourself many role playing starts, both good and bad.

This takes the world weight off your shoulders and truly allows you to play as you wish.

I used the Live Another Life start as "Left For Dead" and started out with nothing. just old clothes.

On this playthrough, I only earn 0.05% experience in most stats.

I set my magicka to zero (player.setav magicka 0) - No Magical use other than staffs, scrolls, potions

All barters are an additional -20% to sell, and +30% to purchase. - Not getting rich either

I set all magical skills to gain 0% experience

Finally I set blacksmith, Enchant, Alchemy to only gain 0.01% experience.

 

I just hit 9th level last night after many hours from level 8. I've visited many parts of Skyrim (and modded surroundings) struggling to get through it all, much like a commoner.

Much of the healing is done by way of cooked foods.
