📋 About This Mod
I) Short description: This mod is a continuation of Nature of the beast mod. This mod adds many sophisticated and original spells, abilities and mechanics that will revolutionize your gameplay. There are 3 major parts of the mod that however are interconnected with one another: 1) Beast part - this part adds several biological abilities and is best for werewolf players or werebeast players to be precise (for there are several werebeast forms available). It should also suit players that play as other beast races both vanilla (vampires, argonians, khajiits) and custom. The purpose of this part of the mod is to give the player the feeling he/she is really playing as a beast and even to command a horde of other beasts, to empower the player and to let him/her experience the Skyrim as never before. Dont let the above fool you. You can add any lesser power no matter what race you are playing. In practice you can gain: a) an automatic and immersive night eye that gradually turns on and off night eye effect depending on the amount of light on the player, b) a realistic smell that depends on the strength and direction of wind and allows you to track targets/plants/ingredients/food(even when in containers)/water/fire/etc from significant distance while providing you with many informations about them. Be advise though, you can be smelled as well even while not having the smell lesser powers, c) adrenaline surge that makes you faster (2 versions: turbo or slow-motion), stronger, increases jump height and reduces fall damage at the cost of stamina, d) 6th sense that warns you when you are about to get hit either in melee, by spell or arrow and can trigger the above adrenaline surge if you choose so (if you choose slow-motion version of adrenaline surge you have a good chance to dodge the attack), e) realistic heat vision that takes into account events like death, swimming and rain (not under roof - roof detection!) and gradually turns on or off visual effects on nearby targets (when swimming the change is instant). Be advise though, some actors you can sense your heat as well even while you dont have the heat sense lesser powers f) lesser power allowing you to transform into alpha werewolf and back at will, g) chance to live as an Alpha Werewolf indefinatelly, to eat, drink and sleep in this form, h) chance to amass a wolf/werewolf pack consisting of wolves and werewolves you meet while being in Alpha (or vanilla) Werewolf form and command the pack by issuing simple commands like wait, follow me, wait there and forward (and with Moonlight Tales much more), i) chance to live as a Green Bane (giant monstrous yet stealthy lizard) indefinatelly, to eat, drink and sleep in this form, the lizard has its own unique abilties like camouflage (partial invisibility), spit, burrow and poisoned claws, j) chance to live as
