📋 About This Mod
One of my favorite set-pieces in the Witcher 3 was the hanged man's tree in Velen, as it expertly set the tone for the map you were in and made a lasting impression as one of the game's most iconic images. After seeing a Skyrim mod that added the same thing I figured why not try it in NV as well? This mod adds one to Niption complete with crows and flies.
I was having some trouble coming up with the right location for this sort of thing, most of the raider bands are too small scale for this, I tried finding somewhere in the Divide for it as its something the Marked Men could do but couldn't find a good area for it, thought about adding it leading to cottonwood cove, but it wouldn't mesh well with the already established crucifixions, so I finally decided that including it as part of the massacre of Nipton would fit best.
But this doesn't fit within my imagined modus operandi of the "corrective" punishment given to Nipton! What are you implying?

[]Well lemme state first and foremost that the main reason I made this mod was because I thought it would look cool and atmospheric, its really not that deep nor does it have to be.
