Skyrim Alternate Start Best Choice
Annemie Zierenberg
So, once I'm done with finals and get moved into my new apartment I plan on starting a new playthrough. I will use the alternate start mod and I was wondering if anyone knows of any good/interesting starting options. Thanks a bunch.
The Dragonborn starts off in a cell in the Abandoned Prison. In it is a statue of Mara that, if talked to, will ask them how their new life shall begin. All races other than Wood Elf get special options unique to their race. Once chosen, the Dragonborn must sleep in the bed and their new life will begin. Despite making a choice, it is not final until you activate the bed, and therefore going back to the statue of Mara and reactivating it will allow you to change the decision, which can be useful to get lockpicks as if you ask to escape, you will be given lockpicks and then you may change your mind but will still have the lockpicks.
Live Another Life provides an alternative means to start the game for those who do not wish to go through the lengthy intro sequence at Helgen. You will be given the opportunity to choose your race and then choose a new life for your character to lead. A wide variety of choices will be available. What you choose will have a lasting impact, so choose carefully or the gods may forsake you again!
Shlongs of Skyrim (ugh, yes, there really is a mod about that) - This has been reported to completely mess up the cart ride for the vanilla start option. If you're going to use that mod, it is best to wait until you're off the carts and inside the keep before installing it.
This issue has been reported on occasion to occur in conjunction with Immersive Armors.
Immersive Armors has a toggle switch within its MCM menu that should resolve this problem while using an alternate start mod.
You will start off with the fully furnished house of your choice in one of 4 major cities. Windhelm is not included due to the quest that interacts directly with the house there. Raven Rock is similarly not included due to the attached quest involved with acquiring that property.
You and Erik have lived in Rorikstead all your lives and have been the best of friends since Mralki took you in. Farming isn't a bad life, but ever since Lokir started telling all those stories about a life of adventure, it's all you two have talked about for months. Erik's father has finally given his blessing and the two of you are finally geared up and ready to depart!
Hi guys i posted this on reedit yesterday and there lots of people that would love this idea.
This mod idea that i will describe could be just and "addon" to the mod " Alternate Start - Live another life" or just a New mod it really depends on the Modder/s that could make it.
IDEA
- So when we start a new game we create our Character like allways and then we "wake up" at riverwood near the chickens or cows and this is pretty important, not just spawning there but actually waking up for immersion sake. Our character has Cloths on from nowdays (our time) Boys some jeans and a shirt with some idk maybe allstar/nike adidas whatever, and girls a skirt and a top and the same foot wear, a pair of wireless Headphones for immersion (Probably the hardest part of this mod) i dont know if this exists already but i think a saw it in some video. The objective is to recreate ourselves and being teleported somehow to skyrim, if using Live another life mod it could be set an option like "I came from real world (life)". Probably adding some Written lines to some NPC maybe Orgnar at riverwwod inn:
You - "Hi where am i?"
Orgnar - "You been drinking too much Mead? You are in Skyrim my friend, cant really tell from where you are judging by those strange cloths"
You - What year are we? Skyrim ? I am so lost right now.
Orgnar - I dont have time for this my friend something is happening in helgen (if integrated with live another life) if not:
Orgnar - I dont have time for this my friend we gotta tell the jarl dragons are back in skyrim Riverwwod is at Danger, I dont know you friend burt could you Warn Whiterun Jarl ? so he send us some help. Its not far just follow the road !
You - Dragons? Whaaat???
Orgnar - Cmon we dont have time just go to the jarl and teel him whats happening.
So this is possibly not well Explained my english is not the best but i would love to see this mod getting to life and i sont have the experience to make it. I would love to know if you guys like my more or less raw idea.
Redux SE is a lesser-known, lightweight alternative that adds not only a short-stringed alternate start but also its own original parallel to the main quest. The mod essentially sidelines the dragon crisis away from the gamer's critical path and provides a roleplay-friendly alternative.
At the game's start, they awaken inside the metaphysical depths of a dark pit and crawl their way out through piles of charred corpses. A mysterious entity, The Ynahlum, sets down users' backstory and motives through cryptic dialog choices.
The only real way to start FO4 out on the right foot is by using an alternate start mod. Start Me Up specifically edits the main quest dialogue to create the illusion that you're a random adventurer tracking down a missing child rather than a father tracking down his son. You even have to visit Vault 111 on your own time to start the story quest. I haven't finished the main quest on the alternate start yet, but when I do, it'll be with the Brotherhood. I doubt it'll be a perfect ending, but I expect it to work better than FO4's default ending.
I quite like this alternate start mod, and I think you will too if only for the fact that it lets you choose traits. I went with my classic Four Eyes and Trigger Discipline for my first run with it. I also think Full Dialogue Interface will be a huge help. * It lets you see exactly what you'll say before you say it. Combined with the Silent Protagonist mod, it's almost feels like you have a choice. There's still the occasional annoyance of having to choose from 4 practically identical answers, but I don't think there's much fixing that.
Whether by SpaceDov4 or someone else, I'd bet we'll eventually see a fully bespoke version of Starfield alternate starts with access to character creation during a scripted introduction sequence of some kind. That's a bigger ask though, and will likely come along after modders have gotten their hands on the full Starfield Creation Kit tools that are expected to arrive in 2024.
For what it's worth, there's a second, competing attempt at an Alternate Start mod by Explorium which initially had just two starting point choices but has since added a Crimson Fleet start point and a Martian one.
Compared to 4GB Skyrim Mod, Cloaks of Skyrim Mod, FNIS Behaviors, and other options, the Alternate Start Mod offers more range of choices. Whatever you choose can have a huge impact on the storyline. The modification also offers additional support, which lets you extend the mod capabilities with personalized starts.
Start Me Up is a free Fallout modification, which offers a revamped menu at the beginning of the Fallout game. After the bathroom scene, this Fallout mod gives three different start options. You wake up as a completely different person, and not as the parent of Shaun. With this modification, you can be a pre-war dweller. The modification gives access to an alternate plotline, where you get released from the vault by mistake.
