📋 About This Mod

gUhxTabrANQ

Travel to the foreboding island of Wyrmstooth in pursuit of a dragon that's interrupting trade routes throughout Skyrim. Wyrmstooth adds a new quest that takes the Dragonborn to the island of Wyrmstooth situated north of Solitude across the Sea of Ghosts. Battle across new landscapes and through new dungeons in this fully voice acted DLC-sized mod. The task may seem simple enough: slay a dragon that's stirring up trouble. But things never quite go that easily...

Features

  • []A New Land to Explore: Travel north across the Sea of Ghosts to the island of Wyrmstooth in pursuit of a dragon. Delve into one of the largest dungeons in Tamriel with a cadre of mercenaries at your disposal.

    []Your Home is Your Castle: Purchase an abandoned imperial fort from Lurius Liore, make it your own, hire new staff, and defend it from unwanted visitors.

    []New Weapons, Shields, Spells, and a new Shout: Treasures sequestered across the island reward those with a keen sense of exploration...and a keener ability to fend off danger lurking in the depths of the many dungeons found across the island.

    []Fully Voice Acted NPCs: Interact with a rich cast of characters brought to life by the talented voice actors that contributed their skills to this project. See IMDB for the full cast.

    []New Music: Includes an entirely new soundtrack by the talented León van der Stadt to immerse you in the atmosphere of the island. The Wyrmstooth soundtrack is available for streaming and download on León van der Stadt's bandcamp page.[/]

    An MCM is included that allows you to configure quest start requirements.

    See the Readme File for more information. Refer to the Wyrmstooth Official Guide for a full walkthrough of Wyrmstooth.

    Requirements

    For the MCM you will need SKSE and SkyUI. Without it, Wyrmstooth will, by default, start when you reach level 10 and have finished 'Way of the Voice'.

    A VR patch is now available and fixes an issue with the draugr control scene during the 'Barrow of the Wyrm' quest.
