At Your Own Pace

Skyrim's quests tends to force you into them, especially the main quest. If you use the vanilla start there is no reasonable place to stop and go and do something else, despite the game being go anywhere do anything. Alternate Start helps, but you tend to run out of reasons to avoid Helgen.  There is always a Dragon to fight, a quest to do, never time to steal every sweetroll in Skyrim. And no matter what character you are playing, you are always expected to be a hero, in a game with three evil questlines. So this mod should hopefully fix this, by giving the player breaks at various stages.

Main Quest

Firstly, after telling the Jarl about the Dragon, you are paid, and that's it. No epic quest, no quest marker, just play the game how you want. If you choose to offer help to Farengar, he will send you to Bleak Falls Barrow.

After returning to Farengar, he pays you and that is it. No immediate fight to the death between a brand new character and a Dragon. To spawn the Dragon attack on the Watchtower, ask him if he has seen any Dragons. After he tells you he would love to see a Dragon, a Dragon immediately turns up, and he isn't allowed to see it.

The main quest continues unchanged until you get to Ustengrav. The horn is still there, allowing you to return it, gain the third word of Fus Ro Da, and then ignore Delphine for as long as you like. Again, talking to Farengar progresses the main quest. Ask him to contact Delphine for you, and a letter will be sent shorty.

An Attunement Sphere has been given to Sulla, in Afltand. This is to allow players to explore Blackreach, without doing the main quest, or roleplaying a reason to explore every iceberg in the Sea of Ghosts.

I have created another mod, Defeat the Dragon Cult, to expand the later half of the main quest. This gives the Dragonborn a reason to avoid facing Alduin until all the Dragon Priests are dead. Use that as well of you feel the later half of the main quest is too rushed.

Finally, Season Unending is skipped entirely. Jarl Balgruuf will help you whether or not the Civil War is ongoing.

All of the above options can be disabled using the MCM menu.

• []A Skyrim Unbound version is available, that just has the second half of the changes. Talk to Arngeir to start a Blade in the Dark. He will tell you to then talk to Farengar.[/]

  You are forced to go to the College for the main quest, and therefore join it. This
