Unique Alternate Starts for all races. Alternate Start mod. Skyrim Anniversary Edition 

Shes the only VA I thought is this Vanilla?

@@Luna-rr1uc No, it's a mod

@@Luna-rr1uc no offence but how did you think this was vanilla?

@@redandblue1013 Hey, who didn't try wiping the default Skyrim, "Hey you, you're finally awake" opening from their memory after using an Alternate Start mod?

@@theuberedredspy8791 I can’t express how much I love alternate start. Normally when people say “permanent place in my load order” it’s a slight exaggeration. Even USSEP, I’d consider removing in a hypothetical scenario because of some changes it makes. Maybe theres a scenario where I remove skyUI for some testing. But AS will truly have a permanent place. Don’t have to wait ten mins to make a new save for testing, or just in general Fixes script bugs causing the cart to bug out Alternate… starts. Roleplay You know what’s so cool? If you go back to the abandoned prison after you’ve started your game, go look at what you find on your bed you rested on. Cool mystery with many possible in-lore explanations Author even put in a framework for modders to add their own starts The VA is so well done as everyone is saying. In fact the line she gives you is enough motivation for me to play the vanilla start because I just think it’s such a cool line

The “surprise me” option doesn’t include that one

@@mushroomduck1345 You must be fun at parties...

@@Gondaldin I try to avoid parties, I don’t like them

@@mushroomduck1345 I can see why

@@mushroomduck1345 its a joke boi

Mara: May your silver tongue let you reach the limits of the sky, my child *wakes you up in front of a giant about to swing you straight into aetherious

@@darkmagicfan Under her breath she says "f*ck you, Nazeem".

good hunting :)

the most dangerous game

Well he did just pop out of existence.

there's a first day for everybody at that dock innit?

​@@hazardeurimmersion restored

Maybe it was his first day?

And then proceed being assassined by the Darkbrotherhood later (you replace Titus Mede II) xD

Yeah, I really like how open ended that was, Caius even kicks you out for a while to go out into the world and do stuff before he lets you go on. Oblivion starts you off with the main quest but you just end up outside the biggest city in the game with lots of distractions, plus it's good to build yourself up before moving on to Chorrol. Skyrim just leads you to this tiny village where some guy lets you take whatever you want from his stash. I dunno, feels kinda weird but eh. Daggerfall is brutal, it starts you in this long dungeon full of all kinds of things that want to kill you and you get to learn the combat system while doing it. Savage lol.

Eh, bitchy superiors aren't too uncommon, tbh. Still, I'd join the Dominion if Queen Ayrenn was leading it, or of the Thalmor were to reform after like, an Alinor Civil War or something. Either way, screw the Empire

Hunter in the woods actually works well for them. While it can work for any race Bosmer are known hunters.

A hunter who killed a bandit a few moments ago and eats his corpse as part of the green pact 😂

@@marcelsmiley858 I mean, he can still eat deer if I recall.

@@maximaldinotrap He can of course but it's so sad that all the bandit meat gets wasted especially when clearing caves or forts full of bandits :( And imagine all the new possible dishes you could cook. A fine Nord stew with garlic, cabbage, potatoes and a bit of a fine mead. Or you could make a smoothie with precious Aldmer meat and some healthy greens. Because most of them are wizards and they like making potions so why not put 'em right in a bottle? 😊

@@marcelsmiley858 Perfect use for Namira's ring is Green Pact role play. Also cabbage, garlic, and potatoes would be banned by green pact if I recall.

I'm guessing it's because there really aren't any wood elf groups in Skyrim. Plus, being a hunter in the woods would already be most fitting of a wood elf.

@@WeegeeSlayer123 aren't wood elves cannibalistic, could of started in the coven of namira

@Charlie Barley They do not do it for the blessing of Namira, but out of respect of using everything you kill. ps. not all bosmer are cannibals

@@GG076 i assumed they didn't, just thought Bosmer not having a special start is sad so thought of smth on the fly

@Charlie Barley Yeah, it's really hard. Maybe the herbalist questline. You know the special nirnroot, since they arent allowed to harvest plants in Valenwood bc of the green pact.

Maiq is that you?

I mean, yeah, she is literally the godess of (romantic) love.

Best VA

@@menospeakwelsh She's the goddess of all sortq of love, romantic, familial, platonic, etc.

@@fyraltari1889 Yes, that's true, of course. I was trying to describe her sphere in as little words as possible, but I know see that didn't work so well.

The VA sounds like a person who takes care of the sick injured and death and puts their souls into new bodies with care

Try adding Dealing With Backstories on top of it. Select your alternate start before using "Remember your past" power

@@borderlinebear5509 ight I’ll try that thanks

@@borderlinebear5509 are the both mods on Xbox?

@@mayasaad-masri2343 alternate start is but not sure about the second one

@@mayasaad-masri2343 Not sure as I only play on PC but none of them require anything but the game + DLC so I see no reason for it not to work.

You mean Legacy of the Dragonborn?

I think there might be a patch for that

Skse is being updated regularly, so most mods do still work yes

When u said same person, u mean "arthmoor" or "Enai Siaion" ?

Can confirm Ordinator works on PC.

I wouls have to eo that for Sancrosant and omg i remember i had to fix some mod issues, it a life saver!

Ordinator works just fine on pc

Actually if you wanna find an in universe reason for the quests you could either be returning to help your faction or turning on them

I had a lot of fun with the high elf thalmor playthrough. Just never started the main questline and do everything to gain power/destablize skyrim

i did a roleplay once where my character started as a thalmor agent but eventually defected and rebelled against them after learning more about the world and his dragonborn blood

you don't need to do those quests tho

One of my favorite characters I play is an Altmer named Othrian. He was a member of the Thalmor, but wanted to find a safe way to leave. He decided on Skyrim because he figured the Thalmor in the Province would be busy trying to manipulate the Civil war. Too busy to properly investigate the disappearance of a Justiciar.

Orc gives good mid level gear but Nord gives instant follower and High Elf gives instant access to potentially skipping half of main quest.

@@chimerastorms3653 No, you can't skip half main quest. I tried it.

@Chimera Storms365 And in vanilla start all you need to do is bar fight in whiterun to get a follower. The orcish start is really OP.

maybe you're new

@@Scringus I said maybeeeeeee 🎶

I got a mod that adds some new options if you have beyond skyrim: bruma.

There's also an expansion for the Alternate Start mod

Yeah, they all clearly wear some steel armour except for the player, wearing complete orc armour.

Agreed. I also feel like having more than one option on how to begin your story makes for better character building and role playing.

@@alonelysnacc2442 Would be nice for them to do something similar as to how Dragon Age Origins did it's beginning sections depending on what "origin" you picked

Exactly like if you were higher if you should have the option to either join the Thalmor or the High elf monks ‘forgot the name of the group’ instead of being an Imperial officer in the army or a rebel fighter

Yeah the opening scene was fun the first time I ever played Skyrim but it got old really fast

Funny enough, Morrowind kinda did this too, so there's an actual precedent for something like it in Elder Scrolls, because Fallout is not only another IP but New Vegas was also developed by Obsidian. It wasn't quite on the level of "members of this faction will kill you for wearing their enemies uniforms", but the Imperial Legion quest givers would refuse to give you quests and say you were out of uniform without an acceptable Legion chestplate (unfortunately some don't actually count, like Legion Silver armor). The Ordinators would also attempt to kill you on sight if you wore their helmet, chestplate, or some other armor piece and spoke to them, and there was no way to undo that so your only option was to reset it with console commands or kill every Ordinator you see and I guess hopefully you weren't planning to advance in the Temple much. Small stuff, but Skyrim could have benefited more from it. Realistically, Captain Aldis wouldn't just go up to you and ask if you're a Stormcloak if you enter Solitude wearing their armor, it's assumed that you are and he'd greet you with a greatsword to the torso. Likewise it should be assumed that anyone wearing Thalmor robes or Legion armor (and perhaps even elven armor in general as it seems to be a Thalmor uniform) that walks up to Windhelm is coming back out disassembled and in a box. I do not like when games that once assumed the player was competent decide that we are now too dumb to breathe without instructions.

@@redeye4516 sadly the only time it got implemented was the embassy infiltration. If you're an elf race you can pass as thalmor with the hooded robes, and if you're high elf specifically pretty much noone saw through it.

This comment makes me wish I was playing New Vegas

@@fireblast133 Always bugged me that Dunmer get away with the hooded robes thing. The ashen skin and bright red eyes should be noticeable from a distance.

I remember putting Forsworn armor on as a Breton and they are like "REEEEEEW"

It's not as bad as you think. Reavers are just bandits, there's a lot of strong gear you can get really easily, and the east empire lockboxes get you a ton of money right away.

@@Zakuzelo but the Ash spawn kick your ass

@@toddhowarddressedasatellyt702 They will, but they're all down south and pretty avoidable.

What do you mean? SKSE was available since the day that AE dropped.

Everything is already working

Just make sure you have the right update in skyrim and download the right archive from SKSE page

@@Champignone The problem is that Skyrim updated again afterward and borked everything all over again.

@@TheJayeagle You're talking about version 342? SKSE and practically everything has been updated for that version.

Hey excuse me, what's the name of that mod? Please

@@EddEsparza I don’t know the name of this mod but I think it is in the description

Yes. Their kind have no place here

Sounds about right, Valenwood always seems to get shafted in general.

If I recall, don’t even think there are many Bosmer even in Skyrim.

Not a fan of bosmer anyway

@@FerzenRPG Hahahaha thats racist bro

It’s a mod separate from anniversary edition. It won’t erase your character, just start a new playthrough in order to use it.

Still*

This is fine unlike earshattering A NEW HAND TOUCHES THE BEACON

you just miss escaping from Helgen, but of you go back to the ruins the main quest will start

@@ailieanderson4106 okay thanks👍🏼

The mod compensates it by having you hear about rumors in Helgen. When you get there, you'll see Alduin fly away and investigate via someone's journal

It's the Live Another Life mod, I believe. Lets you have a different intro than the vanilla game, with some modification to the opening quests. I think you're still the Dragonborn, though

@@kevint1929 read is only for PC and Xbox though, I use PS4.

@@kevint1929 Don't know why I thinking playing Non Dragon Burn Citizen trying to survive interests me so much

@@mikeingognito3171 PS4 has a lot more restrictions for mods, so not surprising.

@@mikeingognito3171 There's an option for a quick alternate start mod on the ps 4 or the realm of lorkhan. I've used both and prefer quick alternate start it let's you start in a faction, inn or owning property or being left for dead. It's very similar but not as good imo

What did it change?

I didn't notice that it changed anything

You almost need the Unofficial Patch to really /enjoy/ Skyrim, lol. It gets rid of quite a bit of glitches, as well as the exploitables (like using the telekinesis spell on an item, and fast travel across the map, boom max Alteration), can't remember the exact list but there were some unfinished quests that you can now do, or quests that were just dropped (and finished) entirely. Mixed with SMIM (Static Mesh Improvement Mod) which polishes all the clutter in buildings, the open world, and dungeons etc to make them less JANK.

@@ryanbarber6481 you don't need it at all. It removes features that were meant to be in the game and just removing areas of map just cause. It adds just as many glitches that it claims to fix.

@@jakebakethatcake7156 Care to share some of those removed features and areas?

New DLC broke this mod. But there was update with fix

It does

@@toddhowarddressedasatellyt702 That's weird, I do have a proper installation with all requirements but it never works

@@HappyButcher78 you need to download it off the mods tab in game. That's how mine works. No Vortex or ModLoader.

Non-guilded thieves, guilded thieves aren't supposed to steal from one another.

Why do jungle and desert loving cats live in the arctic?

It was updated

It's mod. just start new game

On AFKMod

yes

"Wood elves don't hunt animals" Ah yes, because not every Wood Elf you encounter throughout Skyrim talks of the taste of animal meat, carries a bow and comes from a hunting based culture in Valenwood. *The Drunken Huntsmen exists* *Anoriath in Whiterun exists* *Wood elf cannibalism exists* "Do you hunt? The plains around Whiterun are ripe with game." My god what an ignorant comment, it's like you haven't touched an elder scrolls game in your life.

Amen 💜
