📋 About This Mod

                        

This mod is no longer supported, and so do not expect any patches for its many problems. I made this when I was much less experienced, and overall dislike the mod for its issues. If you are willing to put up with these problems, go ahead and download the mod. If not, I recommend to check out some of my other stuff to get similar short form quest content.


I have released a standalone version of one of the quests, this is the best quest from the mod. You can play it here


I have always thought that dragons were a bit misrepresented in Skyrim; they were all, with the exception of some dragons like Paarthurnax, Durnehviir, and Odahviing, mindless beasts that just loved violence. I have decided to slightly change this and add in five new quests, all of which feature dragons that aren't warmongering beasts but intelligent animals with thoughts and desires of their own. All of these quests feature a quest reward and interesting stories that will hopefully make Skyrim's dragons feel more alive.

If anyone could provide more pictures, that would be amazing. I have a bit of a potato PC and so can't get many good ones :))


The largest of the quests, "Know Your Enemy," will take you all over Skyrim in a scavenger hunt for a dragon. The dragon will give you riddles that must be solved by the player, and once the player does find the dragon, he will reveal more of his past.A video showcasing the quest and its voice acting can be found here:

This quest is quite lengthy and has around twenty minutes of total dialogue; this does not include the player finding the dragon. The voice acting in this quest is of extremely high quality, and it will dive into some of the lesser-known parts of Skyrim's lore. It can be started by going to the location "Dead Men's Respite," where the dragon can be found sitting just outside of the ruin. There are no quest markers, so the player must decipher the riddles by themselves. If you do get stuck, there is a list of the location he visits within the documentation tab.

The dragon in this quest is voiced by the incredible Jake MacDonald; if you like his work and would like to speak with him, you can reach him via his Discord: The Manaconda#2650. Or his Gmail: jakewmacd@gmail.com.

The dragon's mesh and texture were taken from Diverse Dragons Collection 3. The person who made the mesh is yousukeve who has given full permission and the person who made the texture is (I think, I couldn't see it on the authorship doc on DDC3, if I am wrong please correct me) Bellyache who has also given full permission. The custom sword texture is taken from the "Lazy Weapon Pack" by Billyro, thank you to th

  • Five quests with voice acting is a solid chunk of content for a quest mod.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in December 2023—might have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods.
  • The description is vague on what the 'unique activities' actually are, so you're going in blind.
  • As with any quest mod, there's a risk of conflicts with other mods that alter dragon behavior or add quests.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since this mod adds quests, make sure to check your quest log after installing—the quests might start from rumors or notes, so explore towns.
  • If you use other dragon mods, load this one after them to minimize conflicts.
  • Consider using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to easily enable/disable if you run into issues.
