📋 About This Mod
Description
A simple mod similar to No More Pinewatch Road Bandits for Legacy Edition.
This mod adds a tough Bandit Outlaw to the small checkpoint along the road between Falkreath and Pinewatch.
Once you have dealt with the leveled bandit outlaw and have been away from the region for at least 3 days, the Jarl of Falkreath will send two guards to clear out the bandit rock traps and watch over the area.
This mod is provided as a light mod (ESL) to not take up room in your load order.
Compatibility
This mod should be compatible with anything that doesn't touch Cell (-4,-20).
This small mod replaces bandits on the Pinewatch road in Falkreath Hold with Falkreath Guards after you kill the Bandit Outlaw. It's a simple lore-friendly tweak for players who want a safer hold. With 684 endorsements and 10,635 downloads, it's a niche but appreciated addition.
