📋 About This Mod

This is the SSE conversion of the Dragon Under Whiterun for Oldrim created by Brendon FitzGerard and originally uploaded by CelticConundrum, I just converted it for Special Edition. It was not a big deal though, I simply resaved the .esp with CK and unpacked the .bsa, this way the game doesn't crash on startup. I got permission from CelticConundrum to convert and publish (and translate) this nice mod. Thanks alot! All credits go to him, don't forget to endorse the Oldrim version if you like it as I do!

Special thanks to tarlazo who figured out what's the origin of the incompatibility with SMIM or other mods modifying the bucket inside the well and helped me to clean up the mod. Thanks alot!

And here comes the original mod description, word by word:

Dragon Under Whiterun

By Brendon FitzGerald

Version 1. 1

IMPORTANT

I am hoping that a big part of the experience is discovering the story

and locations, so try not to spoil too much for others. Feedback will be

highly valued however, so please feel free to send me your thoughts :)

If you run into any errors, please let me know. If you have used console

commands for setting stages, unlocking doors, or disabling objects, I

may be unable to determine what the issue you had was caused by.

Description

Dragon Under Whiterun is a single quest that takes the Dragonborn under

Whiterun in search of a treasure that legends say is guarded by a

dragon. The legends apparently do not have the whole story -- This was

an exercise in learning the Creation Kit from scratch, and experimenting

with game mechanics and level design, in an attempt to tell a unique

story that is tied into the existing lore that we all know and love.

A brand new quest!

A story that ties into the existing lore, as well as introducing some new ideas.

3 new levels.

Roughly 1-2 hours of gameplay, depending on level of exploration and character class.

New Books, Journals and notes to create the narrative.

A new armor item.

And hopefully some experiences you haven't had in Skyrim yet.

===========

- It does NOT require any DLC.
