📋 About This Mod
This is a mod that changes the start of the game, good for playing through the game again. When the dragon attacks, you black out and wake up after Helgen has been destroyed. You will then be able to choose your class or make a custom one by choosing major, minor skills. This is NOT made by me, all credit goes to "Thrymjabjorn". It was removed from the Nexus for some reason a while ago.
