BrotherShamus Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I know... there's already a mod. I've actually used it a few times and while it was okay in some ways, I just found it too full of 'busy work' to really enjoy so I dropped it from my LO. I did find another mod which allows you to rebuild Helgen that's not on Nexus but apparently, it's a buggy mess. I think Bethesda missed a huge opportunity here. Literally... the town exists for the first 5 minutes of the game and then it's a smouldering ruin (I mean... how long does wood burn for anyway?). I'm wondering if anyone has ever considered making a mod that simply allows you to rebuild the town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poletinov Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 (edited) I guess they wanted you to think dragons destroying towns have big impacts in game. Helgen got destroyed by one so now you cant let the others fall. Dragons never felt like villains in this game unless you count rarely killing random npcs as evil. Hell the vampires from dawnguard were more menacing. Edited May 1, 2021 by Poletinov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherShamus Posted May 1, 2021 Author Share Posted May 1, 2021 I get that and it does make sense that dragons would have more of an impact but... it just seems like an oversight to have the wood burning in Helgen... basically forever. I mean... I've done a play through that lasted over a year in game and it was still burning. I just think it would be cool to be able to build it back up like Fallout 4 (minus the workshop).

CiaraRayne Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 The thing about dragons destroying cities, is that cities can be rebuilt. Helgen Reborn is a great mod, it does have issues, but it's a great mod. Worthy of any load order in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worthy of any load order in my opinion.I'm sure it'll work its way back into my LO eventually (unless someone does develop an alternative). In my current play through, I'm already hating the 'burnt out Helgen' every time I pass through it. I like some of what the mod does... but some of the quests just don't work for me (fight cave and cutting logs). It would be cool if there was a way to skip those...
