Good Quest Mods for Different Play Styles / Characters

[dipmonk]

Which quest mods are ideal for which kinds of characters... I'm putting together a list, I figure this could help people looking for spoiler-free ways to choose quest mods...

Archer

• 
  
• Voyage to the Dreamborne Isles
  

Mage

• 
  
• Dwemertech
  
• Spectraverse
  
• Summerset Isles (follows Mage Guild questline)
  
• Undeath (for necromancer)
  
• Winterhold Rebuild
  

Thief / Assassin (Stealth / Sneak)

• 
  
• Agent of Righteous Might (has several missions requiring stealth)
  
• Aldmeri Domain - Fight against the Thalmor III
  
• Arissa (follower)
  
• Brotherhood of Old (follows Dark Brotherhood questline) (RECOMMENDED!)
  
• Dark Brotherhood Resurrection (follows Dark Brotherhood questline)
  
• Grey Cowl of Nocturnal (thief)
  

Warrior

• 
  
• Immersive Idiots - Roderick Redbeard (follows Companions questline)
  
• Pit Fighter
  
• Vigilant (rewards are many heavy armors)
  

BY RACE...

Nord

• 
  
• Blood of the Nord (follows Civil War) (RECOMMENDED!)
  
• Helgen Reborn (could be any race, but seems more meaningful for a Nord)
  

Orc

• 
  
• Adal Matar - Fight against the Thalmor I
  

ANY PLAYER CHARACTER

• 
  
• Beyond Reach (not good for orc) (RECOMMENDED!)
  
• Beyond Skyrim: Bruma (not good for high-level character) (RECOMMENDED!)
  
• The Forgotten City (more RPG than combat) (RECOMMENDED!)
  
• Clockwork Tower (best for scholars of Dwemer culture)
  
• Dragon Break
  
• Falskaar (maybe not best for thief)
  
• A Forsworn Story (best for mage or warrior)
  
• Here There Be Monsters (not best for thief)
  
• Legacy of the Dragonborn (good for completionists)
  
• The Rabbit Hole (arena-style mod, maybe not best for thief)
  
• Wheels of Lull
  

Here are other popular/well-reviewed mods that I've collected from my Google research. Anyone got suggestions for what type of character they're good for? (many may be good for any playstyle/character)

• 
  
• Bhruce Hammar
  
• Darkend
  
• Descent into Madness
  
• Dragon Under Whiterun
  
• Interesting NPCs Main Quest
  
• Molag Bal's Inferno
  
• Moon & Star
  
• Moonpaths to Elswyr
  
• Rigmor of bruma
  
• Sea of Ghosts
  
• Shadow of Meresis
  
• Sulfur and Fire
  
• Wyrmstooth

I incorporated info from ppl who responded to a similar post I put up on LL. No responses here - maybe there's not much interest, or maybe I put this post in the wrong Forum section? Or is most of the action now on the Special Edition forum?

There is Legacy of the Dragonborn. It does add new quests but its main feature is a museum to show off all the unique items encountered in the game. Thus it could be playable by any type of character. It even provides support for several of the mods already listed.

 

As far as lack of reply, a lot of people have moved on to SSE but that hasn't stopped them from posting in the original Skyrim forums. Also, only one day's wait is not a sufficient time frame to deem any lack of interest. After all, not everyone visits the forums every day. And if they do they may not visit every section to read up on new posts.

Cool, thanks. I guess I mostly didn't know if there was a better section to post in. But it looks like there's more interest on LL!
