Blades Overhaul

WORK IN PROGRESS!

This mod is in beta and not all of the planned features, listed below, have been implemented yet.

OVERVIEW

The goal of this mod is to give the Blades the faction questline and the headquarters that they deserve. The Blades were a beloved faction in Oblivion and it's sad to see how most people have hated their appearance in Skyrim due to lack of content or controversial quest decisions. With this mod, you'll be able to restore the Blades to a formidable force once again. My main priorities are lore friendliness and immersion. The mod will not transform Sky Haven into a grand impregnable fortress with 40ft. high walls or add a taxidermy dragon to every room in the temple, there are other mods that do that. The aim is to add features to the faction/temple that are within reason for an order of knights living in an isolated and dangerous part of Skyrim.

IMPLEMENTED FEATURES

1. Expanded Blades Recruitment

• []Current: 30 total[/]

  []This may increase or reduce based on how crowded or empty Sky Haven gets. According to UESP, there are a total of 55 NPCs you can recruit from Skyrim with all DLC.[/]

• []If oath bypass MCM option is enabled, Delphine will skip the Blade's oath for recruits.[/]

  []If oath bypass MCM option is disabled, Delphine will perform the Blade's oath for recruits.[/]

• []MCM to configure how many Blades you want to accompany you on the hunt. Default is 3.[/]

  []For vanilla Skyrim, 3 Blades is plenty to fight a dragon, maybe too many if you're already a maxed out stealth archer. This is a feature for people who run dragon overhauls who need all the extra help they can get in a dragon fight.[/]

• []Send Knight Brothers and Sisters to spy in all 15 major and minor towns.[/]

  []Field Agents will provide training based on the town they are deployed to.[/]
