📋 About This Mod
After the trials of VIGILANT and the darkness of GLENMORIL, UNSLAAD brings a much-needed catharsis. Here you will face the final threat, perhaps reach the Dragon and build a new Dream ... and maybe even understand Love. This cold, dark and very gentle place may yet become a goodly home for you.
Unlike the other two entries in the trilogy, UNSLAAD does not start with someone walking up to you or seeing a scene play out - it's started by finding and touching a doll in the High Hrothgar courtyard. However, this doll is present there since the beginning of the game and if you're too curious about it, you will accidentally start the questline long before you may want to do so.
This patch will disable the Half-Dragon Doll until certain conditions are met.
This patch requires a new game to work! If you already had UNSLAAD installed before adding this patch, it will do exactly nothing for you. No way around this, I'm afraid.
Until I learn how to make an MCM menu, there will be several different plugins to choose from, ranging from the simple level requirements to more complicated requirements like having finished certain quests beforehand (more to come in the future updates).
All plugins are ESL flagged and will not contribute towards your load order!
LEVEL REQUIREMENTS
These patches are the simplest starting requirement for Glenmoril - you must only reach the required level.
Level 25:
Half-Dragon Doll will appear on the ledge behind the High Hrothgar courtyard gates (where you learn the Whirlwind Sprint shout) once you reach level 25.
Level 30:
Half-Dragon Doll will appear on the ledge behind the High Hrothgar courtyard gates (where you learn the Whirlwind Sprint shout) once you reach level 30.
Level 40:
Half-Dragon Doll will appear on the ledge behind the High Hrothgar courtyard gates (where you learn the Whirlwind Sprint shout) once you reach level 40.
QUEST REQUIREMENTS
These patches are more complicated than the ones above and will require you to be both at least level 25 (because there needs to be a minimum level - this is not a mod to start unprepared) and finish certain quests before starting Unslaad.
Option 1:
- be level 25+
- finish Dragonslayer
