Mod Monday - Interesting NPCs

Now before you all think I'm stupid and think that Tuesday is Monday, I'll have you know that I was busy yesterday and still wanted to update you all on Interesting NPCs.

So remember how I was complaining last week how Interesting NPCs is too big and my computer isn't beefy enough. Well, I decided to try it anyway! (Yes, I am a little crazy.) The amazing thing? Skyrim still runs as it did before I installed Interesting NPCs! (*NOTE* I do have Skyrim Script Extender installed which might be why Skyrim wasn't destroyed.)

I absolutely LOVE Interesting NPCs! It's AWESOME! There are literally no words for how amazing it is! You get random people talking to you all over the place! (I love that, maybe you don't. Well, maybe this mod isn't for you.) There is even a little orphan in Riften who steals money from you! It also ads a lot more Khajiit and Argonians to the world! Another amazing thing? YOU CAN PLAY BARDIC INSTRUMENTS! Not spontaneously of course, but you can play with other bards as a part of their dialogue options! I am screaming way too much so I'll just let the developer Kris Takahashi explain:

"Interesting NPCs is a project to add color and life to Skyrim through three-dimensional characters. Each NPC is integrated into the world, with a backstory and an extensive dialogue tree to explore. Many of these characters are fully voiced by a talented team of over 80 voice actors. The dialogue choices allow you to role-play, providing humor and depth to each conversation. You can be a jerk or a jester, a white knight or an assassin, as the most important character is you." 

The download is 2 gigs if I remember correctly, which is pretty daunting. But I definitely recommend this mod and I still recommend last week's mod as well. I also recommend you check out the Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE) if you have problems with Skyrim slowing and crashing on you after you install this mod and any others that add a lot of dialogue.

Lastly, yet another Skyrim Confession:

Mod Monday - Sicarius' Refuge

I’d like to kick off the first Mod Monday with Elianora’s Sicarius’ Refuge.

First of all, I want a huge amount of applause for Elianora! I am not one who comments directly but I absolutely love your work! You put so much hard work into each of your projects. Never let a lack of comments and likes to get you down because some of your biggest fans might be shy like me!

So, Elianora has a ton of different houses for all different characters*, but now I’d like to talk about Sicarius’ Refuge. I fell in love with this mod. I have several different characters and each one has at least one house (mostly downloaded houses). My assassin character lives in the Refuge and it fits her needs completely (as does every Elianora house). Elianora herself describes the Refuge:

“I am willing to bet a few septims that not every assassin likes to live in a moldy dungeon full of gore and blood. Some of us have class! We like the comforts of a well-kept home with all mod cons! So here's my attempt at making the perfect assassin's hideout…”

The Refuge comes in two flavors: Hearthfire/Dawnguard and Vanilla. The Refuge is located a little ways from Morthal so you can fast travel and get inside without being mauled by its guards if you caused a little ruckus. In game acquisition is free. All you have to do to acquire the Refuge is to kill the previous owner (he’s already dead so I guess you are re-killing him), loot the body and take his key. The mod also comes with a ton of custom stuff that you can’t get all in one mod, like poison arrow crating, a disenchanting font, a functional Altar of Sithis, a Jarrin Root plant, a mirror to change your appearance, a functional bath, and a retractable follower bed! Elianora also included her fabulous Assassin’s Armour**, which she also has as an individual download.

I recommend you check out Elianora if you are an avid lover of homes, armours, and Uncle Sheo Does Legendary Loading Screens!
