📋 About This Mod
Hey, I have a Discord now!
Updated for Legacy v6! Since Legacy has added a scale of displays, this mod WAS obsolete. However because I liked my tweaks to pacing I have decided to resurrect it as an OVERRIDE. What does this mean? Well it no longer changes scripts, so it should be very compatible. Additionally, if you know your way around Xedit, it should be VERY easy to customize your experience.
To use the new version, install the appropriate file. Then once Legacy has finished starting up on a NEW game, load up the MCM. Instead of seeing the default first two options in the drop-down menu of the display scaling, you'll see

If you're using the Hall of Wonders CC patches choose the labeled version. Otherwise grab the other one. use only ONE of these files at a time. The new version is for Legacy v6 ONLY. The old versions have been preserved in "Old Files" for v5 users.
There are over 1900 displays available just in base Legacy of the Dragonborn, and if you're like me, you can get at least 100 straight out of Riverwood. That makes the pacing of the mod seem a bit fast, as Auryen gives you a new relic or quest just about every day until you hit 550 when it ends.
This mod aims to cater to those of us who run larger load orders with a bunch of supported mods and can therefore reach high display counts much more quickly and would prefer to... savor the Legacy experience rather than rushing it. The endpoint for this mod is 1350 displays, well within the confines of only using Legacy, but a lot more spread out.
Below is a list of quests and their old/new display counts (spoilered in case you haven't played through the whole thing):
[] Quest
[] Adding to the Collection (Skullcrusher)
[] It Belongs in a Museum
[] Adding to the Collection (Thornblade)
[] Night at the Museum
[] Adding to the Collection (Cleaver of St. Felms)
[] Adding to the Collection (Eidolon's Ward)
[] Adding to the Collection (Gravedigger)
[] Shadows of One's Past
[] Adding
