Play Kratos in Skyrim
Come hang out and talk mods - PunknPatch Discord
Play as the God of War, either Kratos or Kratas.
This is a race mod firstly and a gameplay overhaul second, you get custom armors and weapons and a follower, all can be configured in an installer FOMOD after download.
We've spent years of are times to put this mod together, and I hope you enjoy it as much as we've been making it.
Weapons can be crafted at the forge, and the armor and weapons come with powerful custom enchantments that cannot be disenchanted. If they feel too overpowered, you can forge new armor and shields without the enchantments. All armor and weapons can be tempered and upgraded at a workbench and grindstone. The Leviathan axe is an exception, requiring one of the patches to upgrade. Different smiting perks are needed to access certain weapons and armors.
The add-ons are optional, so you can choose to play without them if you prefer.
If you decide to play as a female Kratos, or "Kratas" as we call her, you can customize her armor in the body slide program. The necessary files are included in the mod. By default, her base shape is CBBE curvy. She does not use a nude body, but if you wish to change that, you will need some knowledge of the Outfit Studio program.
