📋 About This Mod
The Serpent's Covenant
Introduction:
- []The Serpent's Covenant is an encounter based quest mod centred around the titular guild, the Serpent's Covenant. Within the quest, you'll be accompanying a travelling mercenary, Alexia who seeks to end the titular guild by killing its leader as she believes they seek to end all civilised society. Along the way, she'll be meeting a rather interesting member of the guild who will guide her to the head of the organisation, and inform her of the true motivations of the faction.
Features:
- []Unique questline. The premise, backstory and characters within the guild are all incredibly unique and result in themes that are not present in Skyrim being the focal point of the mod. This allows for hard questions to be asked of the player and to make them really think about what is being discussed.
- []Fully voiced. The mod features extremely high-quality voice acting done by veterans of the industry. These individuals have all brought their characters to life, and ensured that these NPCs don't just feel like characters within a game. To not spoil any future characters that appear within the mod, I will include all their names down in the credits section.
- []300+ lines of dialogue. The three NPCs within the mod have a combined line count of over 300, the two main characters sharing 250 lines. While it was not my mission to make these characters have a plethora of dialogue options, it allows for the player to ask any relevant questions they could think of to learn more about this unique guild. This allows the mod to have around 40 minutes of pure dialogue, which as mentioned, is all performed to an incredibly high standard.
-
[]New points of interest. To make the guild feel organic and not forced in for the sake of the mod, with the help of JenzAmaka and Exit, we have created seven points of interest for the player to explore. All of these new locations are unmarked but feature unique narratives that further the themes discussed within the mod. While new, we made sure that the new locations feel right at home within Skyrim's world design and not like they were randomly placed within the world.
