Like most of my Skyrim roleplaying runs, my upcoming playthrough will be based around the Ultimate Skyrim total conversion modpack. In the spirit of this blog’s namesake, the old Dungeons and Dragons Unearthed Arcana books, I hope this gives other players fun ideas about how to expand on their games and setup their own characters for a rewarding roleplaying experience. This will include tweaks to the basic Ultimate Skyrim configuration plus new mods.
In this first post on my new Unearthed Arcanna blog, I’m introducing my mod setup for an upcoming roleplaying playthrough in the Ultimate Skyrim modpack. Hmm… maybe roleplaying in Skyrim is less fun than we’ve tricked ourselves into believing. The brilliant (read: twisted) minds at Nexus Mods let you live every aspect of your Skyrim immersion fantasy, whether freezing to death, rebuilding a run-down farm one stone at a time, working manual labor, or researching new spells in real-time hours. Who needs to fight Alduin when you can play The Sims: Skyrim Edition? Because as much fun as it is to learn the Thuum and Save The World© , it’s never quite as much fun as furnishing your Breezehome bedroom or elk-hunting in Falkreath forest. A Riverwood woodcutter splitting lumber for Gerdur by day and drinking ale at the Sleeping Giant by night. A fast-talking Khajit merchant competing with rascally Ri’saad. It’s about roleplaying a minimum-wage Whiterun guard on gate duty before returning to her spouse and adopted children. True Skyrim isn’t about fulfilling your Dragonboring destiny of long cart rides and chatting with lame dragons.
That magical moment where you realized you didn’t have to follow Bethesda’s railroad tracks.
