Dragonstone - The Life of Skyrim

Taken out of my complete overhaul Dragonstone - A Skyrim Overhaul, here are only the NPCs added to the world of Skyrim.

For people wanting just that...

There are ~2,400 new regular and random NPCs added to the world of Skyrim, in a thoughtful way as to not affect performance or make places too crowded.

A lot of these NPCs are soldiers involved in battles and patrols. Battles may affect performance, depending on your rig and your mods.

• []Each city, town and village in Skyrim has new respawnable (with different faces and clothes) generic NPCs, with own AI packages and daily actions. They walk, sit, go into shops, temples/Halls of the Dead, explore, interact, work and so on. For lunch but more often during night, a lot of them populate taverns and inns (all this without using scripts). These NPCs have and use PERKS!

  []Lands, roads and paths are populated by Adventurers, Merchants with Body Guards, Travelers, Pilgrims, Assassins, Horsemen, etc. (all this without using scripts). These NPCs have and use PERKS!

  []Mercenaries have been added to some of the Holds of Skyrim.

  []Populated prison cells with guards, prisoners, and... a surprise!

  []Seven unique NPC travelers have been added, who travel by horse.

  []Each hold (only exception Whiterun hold, according to lore) has own Imperial or Stormcloak patrols guarding the borders and entering into cities/villages to search for spies, enemies and bandits. Some patrols go over the borders to spy and attack on enemy soldiers. Some single soldiers (as explorers) travel on enemy territories to spy.

  []There are four great battles along the border of two factions, where more than 200 soldiers fight to the death.

  []In addition, 4 more civil war battles have been added to locations in Skyrim. When a battle is complete the winning faction will head to the nearest fort and either fortify or capture it. When the losing faction returns the two sides will duke it out again.

  []Additional Stormcloak, Thalmor, Imperial, and (some) Hold patrols make sure each hold is under control. When the Civil War is over, the patrols are disbanded.

  []Soldiers are able to heal themselves.

  []Stormcloak soldiers and commanders wear new armor.

  []A lot of random NPC events have been added.

  []Two new factions have been added to the game: Witchhunters which are enemies to all necromancers, and Dragon Cultists which are enemies to the Dragonborn and all who oppose the Dragons.

  []Children are ESSENTIAL.

  

  There are many random events and radiant AI added in this mod.
