📋 About This Mod

War's Folly

Introduction:

  • []War's Folly is a very short quest mod featuring Sandor, a preacher who will join Solitude's ranks after the player has been recruited into either side of the Civil War. Through your time in the city, you'll be able to hear his opinions on the war through his many sermons, covering topics such as religion, the Thalmor and his own personal life. While not particularly long or groundbreaking, Sandor should offer a unique outlook on the war and create a feeling of involvement that I found missing from the vanilla game.

    Features:

    • []Unique idea. While not particularly long, War's Folly should contribute to Solitude's bustling environment in an incredibly unique way. Taking inspiration from Heimskr's ramblings, Sandor should feel like a complex character who doesn't mindlessly stand by as Skyrim is consumed by war, something the base game is sorely missing.

    • []Fully voiced. This mod has been voiced by a veteran of the industry, MeekVoice. The amount of work he's done for me is completely astounding and he continues to deliver, project after project.

    • []Roleplaying potential. Sandor's personal conversation with the player has many avenues and routes that it can go down. I wrote the dialogue specifically with roleplaying in mind, and so a variety of personalities along with personal beliefs should be accomodated within the conversation.

      FAQ:

      Can the mod be downloaded mid-game?

      • []Yes, it's completely fine to install mid-game.

      Is it ESLed?

      • []It is thanks to CharderoTheLupe!

      Is the mod clean?

      • []Yes, I have only edited the necessary cells, there should be no conflicts due to dirty edits.

      How do I start the quest?

      • []Join either of the Civil War factions and Sandor should spawn in. If you've already done the joining quest, Sandor will not spawn in.

      Can I make a patch for the mod?

      [*]I'd love it people made patches for any incompatibilities that arise, if you could send these to me, I'll upload th
