📋 About This Mod

This mod allows you to complete Boethiah's quest without betraying a friend. When you're told to bring a friend to the altar, simply activate the altar yourself. Boethiah will recognized (and disdain) your noble heart, but will go ahead and provide a victim for you. The rest of the quest proceeds as normal.

I was inspired to create this mod after playing through and loving Kevin Kidder's House of Horrors Alternate Ending mod. If you're into doing Daedric quests as a good guy, you should definitely check his mod out.

Thank you!

This mod only changes one vanilla script: DA02PillarScript. Therefore, it should be extremely compatible.

I am currently not posting any mods on Steam Workshop. If you see one of my mods on Steam Workshop, please report the file to me. Thanks! :D

I'm hoping to update all of my mods to SE! Please be patient as I upgrade the mods!

⚠️ Cons
