📋 About This Mod
Disables the Kaidan Community Edition startup quest.
The quest will no longer be present in the journal when starting a new playthrough. Instead the player needs to find Kaidan in the Abandoned Prison and talk to him to start the quest.
Compatible with Kaidan appearance mods and all other mods that don't touch the quest entry.
This patch disables the startup quest for Kaidan Community Edition, a popular follower mod. It's a simple quality-of-life fix for players who want Kaidan available without the introductory quest. With 32 endorsements and recent updates, it's a niche but functional patch.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Does exactly what it says: kills the autostart quest so you can skip the intro.
- Small but active following (32 endorsements) and still updated as of late 2025.
- Lightweight patch that shouldn't conflict with other Kaidan tweaks.
⚠️ Cons
- Niche appeal: only useful if you run Kaidan CE and hate the startup quest.
- Low endorsement count (32) means it's not widely tested across load orders.
- Potential compatibility risk with other Kaidan CE patches that modify the same quest.
For Skyrim players who use Kaidan CE and want to skip the forced intro quest. If you're tired of the autostart and just want the follower available, this is for you. Skip if you don't use Kaidan CE or actually like the quest.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Kaidan Community Edition installed first, or this patch won't do anything.
- Load this patch after Kaidan CE in your mod manager to ensure it overrides correctly.
- If you're on PC, consider using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to keep your load order clean.
