📋 About This Mod
Above all Else - Lovecraft Inspired Quest
Introduction:
-
[]Above all Else revolves around a vampiric Khajiit named Dar'balag. As you encounter this mysterious figure, you'll begin to learn more about his quest of "becoming above all else" and his purpoted gift of being able to see the ancient dead. Delving into some very niche and interesting lore topics, in his own convulted way Dar'balag will share more about his goals, origins and intentions to achieve his lofty ambitions. The quest sticks entirely to lore established within Skyrim while giving my own twist on the underutilised aspects of certain parts.

- []Interesting NPC. Due to the Khajiit's ambitions and vampiric nature, this NPC should be entirely unique and vastly different from not only other mods, but my own content. With a much more ruthless and uncaring attitude, I believe that his character will create a great sense of conflict for many characters, forcing a choice between good and evil.
- []New location. While not a huge new dungeon or location, I took great care in designing a single interior that would add to Dar'balag's story and expand upon the mystery established with his dialogue.
- []Fully voiced. This quest has been voiced by a newcomer to my mods, Marchand Steenkamp. While not seen before in my other projects, he did such an incredible job with Dar'balag and you'll be seeing him a lot more in future :))
