✅ Pros
- Solid community traction: 161 endorsements and 16,278 downloads show it's been tried and liked.
- The root dungeon kit gives a distinct visual style that stands out from vanilla dungeons.
- A unique twist promises something beyond a standard fetch-and-kill dungeon crawl.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in January 2023, so it may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or mods.
