DIVERSE SKYRIM

1. TL;DR

Q: What does this mod do?

A: It adds hundreds of new NPC:s with unique appearences to the Vanilla levelled lists for added racial diversity while staying lore friendly. Stats, levels, items, abilities, spawning, etc is entirely handled by Vanilla mechanisms, which ensures great compatibility with mods that for example tweak combat stats, or add and change clothing and weapons.

Q: Does this mod change outfits, weapons, armor, or ANYTHING from Vanilla except Level Lists?

A: Orc Legionnaires get Heavy Armor. Otherwise, there's no changes at all. My screenshots feature items from Immersive Armors, Wet & Cold, Cloaks of Skyrim, Enhanced Stormcloak Variety, and many others. ENB is Truevision.

Q: Will I see Orc Legionnaires and Khajiit Vampires everywhere?

A: No, I've made sure to keep ratios lore friendly to ensure that races that should be rare are rare.

2. Introduction

Sometimes I feel like I'm slashing and shooting my way through the same enemies all the time. Almost every Vampire is an Elf, is J'zargo really the only magically gifted Khajiit in Skyrim, and what happened to that Dark Elf on his way to Solitude to join up with the Legion?

Why are there no Orcs in the Imperial Legion, despite the in-game lore saying they're so highly valued as soldiers that the Orcish race is gaining acceptance in Skyrim and throughout the Empire thanks to their service?

Why are the only Vampires in the game Nords, Bretons, Dark Elves and High Elves? Surely Redguards, Khajiit, and other races are also susceptible to contracting Vampirism?

My mod seeks to add things like these which I feel are missing from the game, while still keeping it as lore friendly as possible. You won't find Khajiit Legionnaires or High Elf Hunters, all Master Vampires are still male while all their foot soldiers are exclusively female (damn Vampire patriarchy!).

When I've added new races, for example an Orc and an Argonian Hunter, I've also added new Nord and Wood Elf NPC:s to keep racial distribution faithful to the lore so that every other Hunter you find won't be an Orc or Argonian one. Those races are still rare in Skyrim, although they fit well as Hunters.
