Without the pressures of the main story and the option to choose the origins of your character, this brings up the game’s roleplaying immersion that I feel should have been the main focus of the game.

I had a much more enjoyable experience roleplaying as a disenfranchised lizard-man who wanted to free his people, over the demigod figure the story builds you up to be.

With this new found currency I decide to take a carriage and join the Imperial army in Solitude, with the hopes of removing the oppressive Jarl of Windhelm and possibly making the city better for Argonians. Within my first couple of minutes in the game my character gets into a bar fight with a Nord, making a good chunk gold after thoroughly roughing him up with my lizardy fists of justice. Argonians and Dark Elves are disenfranchised in this city and sent to live in the poor ghettos by the xenophobic Nord majority. In my playthrough I created an Argonian, and I chose to start my scaly dude off in Windhelm. Now the main story was always optional in Skyrim, but the way the game presents the urgency of that quest doesn’t correlate with the game’s design, which encourages you to do whatever you want in this open world.

This is where the mod comes in.Īlternate Start solves this by simply by making the main story an option rather than the first thing you do, allowing you to avoid the annoying urgency of the main quest for as long you please. It’s very hard to justify all your side activities as lore appropriate when the literal apocalypse is happening, and it sure as hell doesn’t help that everyone in the main quest must remind you. This main story urgency and constant threat makes roleplaying a less viable option, because you are encouraged to be in the mindset of the most important person in the universe by the main story. This special snowflake syndrome isn’t exclusive to Skyrim but it lacks a lot of the pragmatism that even games of its own Elder Scrolls lineage have done better. Rather than being a person who happens to find themselves involved in events due to circumstance, you almost immediately (after the first couple of main story quests) become the single most important person in the universe. It enforces this sense of urgency in its main story that doesn’t seem to go away. The intro and the opening story beats of Skyrim forces the character to pick sides and rushes them through its open and explorative world in a ludicrously fast pace.

The Elder Scrolls series does this very well for the most part, but there is a problem Skyrim suffers from that breaks my roleplaying immersion. The most important aspect of RPGs is the role playing the ability to look through the eyes of a character and commit to actions as that character. Skyrim’s intro is bad and this mod fixes it – thank goodness! ANY alt-start mod will have the same issue. You may not realize it right away, but it will, and that's not limited to just this mod.

Your game WILL break if you follow that advice. The console workaround that is being thrown around is not a solution.

As a result, no support will be offered to anyone attempting to use this mod on the VR version of the game.

The code was forked from an old SSE branch that doesn't even have the latest changes incorporated into it so there's absolutely no way any mod author can say for certain that their mods will work in VR at all. Call me a dinosaur or whatever, but I have zero interest in VR in its current state.īethesda has also made it crystal clear that VR does not support mods. The expense of buying all of this simply isn't worth it since I'd never actually play it in VR. There are extensive changes made in VR to the chargen quest that would require access to the updated plugins and script files. I am aware of a console 'fix' for the issue but I can assure you that it will break things. I have no plans to purchase VR gear or the VR copy of the game. No, this mod will not work with Skyrim VR.
