📋 About This Mod
I love making new characters and and love the extra immersion Merlord's background provide. I've made 5 so far, but may add more as I think of them. I tried to think of interesting character ideas rather than perfectly balanced characters but I don't think anything is too broken.
If you have a certain character you'd like me to make a background for, let me know and I can try to add it if it's not too complex for me!
Backgrounds:
Disgraced Ordinator
Prince/Princess
Dremora Pact
Raised in a Carnival (Idea by Glittergear!)
Adds five new backgrounds—Assassin, Disgraced Ordinator, Prince/Princess, Merchant, and Artisan—to Merlord's mod. A small but focused expansion for players wanting more roleplay options. With 55 endorsements and 996 downloads, it's a niche addition that's been stable since August 2023.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Straightforward expansion—if you're already using Merlord's mod, this is a no-brainer for more variety.
- Decent community traction for a niche mod (55 endorsements, 996 downloads).
- Last updated August 2023, so it's relatively recent and likely compatible with current versions.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires Merlord's mod as a dependency—if you don't have it, this is useless.
- Only five backgrounds—might not be enough if you're looking for a massive overhaul.
For players who already use Merlord's mod and want extra roleplay options without hunting for separate mods. If you're a completionist who likes trying different character archetypes, this adds a few fresh starts. Skip if you're not using the base mod or want deeper gameplay changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Merlord's mod installed first—this won't work without it.
- If you're using a mod manager, just drop the file in and activate; no load order tweaks needed.
- Check the mod page for any compatibility notes with other background mods before adding.
