Awesome Artifacts

This mod is the cheese for your Skyrim burger. It's the product of years of tinkering with Skyrim's lackluster unique items to do them justice. Yes, I'm saying it's another unique items overhaul. The mods I once found for the bland artifacts were poorly made or too boring or far too overpowered, so I took it into my own hands and learned my way to making this mod the best it can be. Awesome Artifacts aims to be lightweight and of high quality, to have effects that are unique and fun, to stay true to the original theme and be immersive, and finally, to keep things balanced enough to make things interesting. The only item that's truly overpowered is Ysmir, as you'd expect.

There are lots of hidden effects, details and quirks which you will discover naturally, but the description is already a mouthful and cannot mention everything; it's best to try the mod for yourself.

Requires the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch (USKP/USSEP) on PC/XB1.

The changes that aren't available to PS4 users due to technical limitations are marked with a *.

Includes fixes and tweaks from Weapons, Armor, Clothing & Clutter Fixes (WAF/WACCF) and makes use of its extended framework. Recommended mod.

The mod Guard Dialogue Overhaul SE is recommended but not required.

Ysmir, Dragon of the North

- You can upgrade Konahrik to Ysmir at the Skyforge once you have ended the civil war and become the Thane of every hold and learned every Smithing perk.

- Requires all the original Dragon Priest masks and 50,000 gold to forge. Skyrim needs more gold sinks.

- Has all enchantments from said Dragon Priest masks.

- Has the hidden perk from Dragon Aspect that makes most shouts more powerful.

- The hidden perk has been optimized and now also improves the extra shouts from Dawnguard and Dragonborn.

- Ysmir comes in both Cloth, Light, and Heavy versions, which you can switch between for a fee of 1,000 gold.

- Light version gets Matching Set bonus from all Elven and Nightingale armor, and Heavy from Daedric.

- Alternate Dragonscale and Dragonplate versions are available to suit your fancy.

- It will use any new textures you install for Konahrik.

- Konahrik's effect now makes you explode, damaging enemies and healing allies, and leaving you with a flame cloak for 15 seconds. Its janky proc mechanic has been adjusted so it won't make you accidentally immortal, and the explosion gets stronger with high Destruction skill and has an increased chance to summon a Dragon Priest.

- Includes fixes and tweaks from USK
