Alternate Perspective - Alternate Start

A new yet familiar take on the Alternate Start concept: Rather than simply deleting & skipping the Intro, Alternate Perspective went one step further and completely rewrote it, preserving the Main Quests integrity while still offering the benefit of an Alternate Start mod to get you into a new game quickly & reliable.

Further, Alternate Perspective is easily expandable, allowing other authors to create entirely new alternate start scenarios, without having to deal with the.. painful experiences associated with the Vanilla Intro!

Another special benefit when using this mod is that, until you start the Main Quest, Helgen will be a fully functional town. Rebuild from scratch with its own Inn & Shopkeeper. Learn to know the townsfolk of Helgen ..before they all turn to dust! Making Helgens destruction a truly memorable loss, not just a mere side effect of Alduin's appearance.

When starting a new Game, you will be spawning in an isolated Cell resembling one of the Rooms in Helgens Inn, "The Resting Pilgrim", where you can create & customize your character to your liking. In the room, you will have access to some Items that will help you setting up whatever kind of Playthrough you got planned for your newly created Character!

Once fully equipped, talk to the little Dragon sitting on a lantern. He will offer you a variety of choices how your game is supposed to start. Select one you're interested in, then simply open the door next to him, and step into the black void gazing at you. This will begin the Intro Quest you selected.

*Alternatively, you can also use the console to 'coc' out of the starting Cell, or simply ignore the Dragon, in which case the 'Default' start will be implicitily chosen

To  begin the Main Quest, you want to head to Helgen's Inn and talk to the Innkeeper. Upon doing so, you will find the normal Innkeeper Dialogue and one extra Option, reading "I'd like to rent a room. (Start Intro (10 gold))", using this option will first seem like a normal bed renting - and is in fact a normal bed renting - however, the next time you sleep in Helgen's Inn, something special is going to happen...

Helgen has been fully rebuild to offer you a proper town to explore. New Pathways have been created, new NPC are living inside the unused houses and the town in general will feel much more polished, completed & alive. With
