📋 About This Mod
AN EPIC GAMEPLAY OVERHAUL MOD
I. OVERVIEW
Skyrim's Paraglider is a fantastic mod, and has completely changed how I play. But beyond that, Loki and Nicknak's work was so good, it feels like it was always a part of Skyrim. However, this extremely powerful contraption is so easy to get with the normal mod! Let's make it take slightly more effort to get this tool.
Paraglider Retrieval Overhaul has you embark upon a four part radiant quest across Skyrim and possibly Solstheim to find your new paraglider. This quest is, while on the silly side, completely lore friendly. My goal in creating this was to make it seem as if the paraglider has been a part of Skyrim all along - the entire quest from start to finish will feel like a part of vanilla Skyrim.
So enjoy following the mishaps and misadventures that spring forth when men and mer test the limits of technology and dare the Gods to strike them down.
II. KNOWN ISSUES
IT JUST WORKS
III. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
"Can't you just enjoy the %^&ing paraglider without having to be so YOU about it?"
"I'm sick of this quest and want it to die. I'm not going to follow another dumb radiant quest note as long as I shall live."
Chill, my dear mentholated cigarette. Once the quest starts, the paraglider appears in Skyrim. You don't have to follow the quest - you may even just happen upon it randomly.
"How do I get the Paraglider?"
You should happen upon it during normal gameplay.
"This isn't lore friendly."
This is a game with a chicken necromancer. This is a game with a many-tentacled-and-eyed God of books.
"Ok, so Fred fell, and then I went up to the flight platform, but the quest "As the Crow Flies" didn't start. What gives? WHY DO YOU HATE ME AND NOT WANT ME TO HAVE FUN"
It takes a lot of time for the game to lo
