These options are all fully fleshed out and fully realized, giving you a truly immersive and engaging experience that makes you feel as if you are truly a part of this world as opposed to simply “the Protagonist” as the vanilla version can often seem. There are many more, but you get the idea. You can play as a Stormcloack recruit, a Bandit seeking to redeem themselves, a Thalmor Agent, a Humble Merchant, or a far-off traveler interested in the Dawnstar Museum. The Alternate Start: Live Another Life mod completely changes up the opening scene for an entirely different and immersive set of options, each as varied as they are lore-friendly. Luckily this mod changes all that up entirely. The reality of the situation is that, after the first run-through, being a prisoner isn’t all that fun. The fifth time, it wasn’t fun, and the twelfth time made you seriously consider if you should have a different race character saved at the end of the intro. The second time, still fine, but it probably needed a “Skip” button. When you first played Skyrim just under a decade ago, the opening to the game with you as a prisoner being inadvertently saved by the World Eater himself while barely escaping his fiery destruction of Helgen was amazing. While all of these mods are considered “must-have” essentials, the Ordinator Overhaul mod is a requirement for anyone that truly wishes to specialize in their character beyond simply a general type expert. Want to train a pet rabbit to steal gold and money for you? Yeah, you can do that too. Want to be an evil Mage that can turn paralyzed victims into gold? You can.

Want to play as the Sandman and steal people’s dreams? You can. This perk overhaul mod can create specializations and builds that you couldn’t even dream of in the vanilla game.

A far and away superior comparison to vanilla Skyrim’s paltry options.Īnd this is just one example. For example, the One-Handed Perk Skill Tree now has a full set of varied and unique options for swords, daggers, axes, or maces. This mod completely overhauls the standard level-up Perk System found in the vanilla version of the game by reducing the more bland stat/damage increase perks and replacing them with more exciting and immersive options. Ordinator Overhaulįirst up on our list is the Ordinator Overhaul Mod.
