📋 About This Mod
Mod Description
Extra Encounters Reborn SE is a lore-friendly mod which adds leveled and randomized encounters to the world of Skyrim.
The goal of this mod mod is not to drastically change the Skyrim experience, but rather to add more to it.
These new encounters are frequent enough to make exploring Skyrim intense and fun, not to make Skyrim overcrowded and unrealistic. The encounters were intentionally designed to have similar traits to Bethesda's encounters, without being off-putting.
Each encounter you come across is relevant to your current location. For example, the Forsworn will not be found outside The Reach, and Stormcloak Soldiers are unlikely to be encountered near Solitude.
Encounters are created via Skyrim's predator spawns. These spawns are found throughout Skyrim, and usually create things like bears or wolves.
FEATURES
Some of the encounters you may come across include (but are not limited to): Bandits, Vigilants of Stendarr, Imperial soldiers, Stormcloak soldiers, Forsworn, peddlers, hunters, Thalmor justicars, mercenaries, adventurers, warlocks, vampires, and more!
