~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Long-ish description:
I like the Molag Bal quest in vanilla, but more often than not I want to play as the good guy. Without having meta knowledge that this is an evil quest, you might start this quest and it could ruin the moral compass of your character with its lack of options.
Well... n o m o r e !
This mod doesn't force you into a new path, it lets you choose with your in-game actions if you want to complete the quest the vanilla way (siding with Molag Bal) OR as the good guy (Siding with Tyranus, the Vigilant of Stendarr).
However: Just like in the vanilla quest, Molag Bal has gotten into the head of our friend Tyranus and he's pretty much lost it at this point. You have a chance to convince him to calm down and stop his foolishness, which will allow you to take a different path to destroy the altar and free the house from its daedric influence.
How can I convince Tyranus? Either with high speech, high intimidation or some other secret ways. (Pretty obvious to figure these out) - Be careful as you can only choose one option, he will attack you right away if not convinced by your argument.
The quest is fully voiced, not with synth sound but vanilla splicing. (Nothing against vsynth, but it can be eerie sometimes).
Choosing to side with Tyranus comes with a different set of rewards for the quest. Spoiler alert: A New voiced paladin-priest-warrior type of follower.

Q: BUT I WANT MY MACE, GIVE ME MY MACE!
A: If you want the mace, just finish the quest the vanilla way. My mod just gives you an alternative way to finish the quest, with an alternative series of rewards that do not include the mace

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 12,751 endorsements and 3.5M downloads.
- Fully voiced new scenes add real depth to the quest.
- The 'good guy' route gives moral players a satisfying alternative.
⚠️ Cons
- Only expands one quest—if you're not into Molag Bal, this won't change much else.
- No mention of compatibility with other quest mods—might conflict with overhauls.
- Last updated June 2024—could be outdated for the latest Skyrim patches.
For Skyrim players who want to role-play a heroic character but still complete daedric quests. Also great for fans of JaySerpa's other quest expansions. Skip if you prefer sticking to vanilla quest outcomes or want larger-scale overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to start the quest after level 10 to avoid conflicts with other mods that alter Markarth.
- If you use a mod manager, let it handle the load order—this mod should be placed after the vanilla quest files.
- Check the mod page for any patches if you use other quest expansion mods.
