Skyrim, But I Survived the Apocalypse

This is Alternate Skyrim, a game-changing mod released earlier this year that wipes out Skyrim's NPC's to make Skyrim a post-apocalyptic world, in a sort of Skyrim meets Fallout concept. With its optional World-Eater add-on, this mod also adds a Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom-style open mission to defeat Alduin, with the potential for taking back each ruined city from his Dragon followers and their swarms of Draugr minions first. This mod is compatible with both Skyrim Special Edition and the Anniversary Edition update.
I've paired Alternate Skyrim with a bunch of other survival, scavenging, and resource-management mods in an attempt to turn Skyrim into a Roguelike Survival game. This is my first permadeath attempt at defeating Alduin in this post-apocalyptic modded world.
Alternate Skyrim is still in development and has an active community working on add-ons for the post-apocalyptic world. The day after I posted this video, a new beta version released and the mod name changed to "Shattered - A Post-Apocalyptic Skyrim". If you're interested in learning more, you can find a link to the Discord in the Posts section of Alternate Skyrim's Nexus page.

The most obvious mod for the DRAGON BORNE is to Help the Dragons return to power, defeat the armies of the bipeds, and help the World Eater eat the world... which would lead to a new world, a completely new map, with all the races (or all new races) enslaved and serving their Dragon overlords, with the dragon mask dragon priests back in power. Since the dragonborn has a dragon soul trapped in a biped body, his/her main goal will be to return to True dragon form.

@mattjk5299 11 ай бұрын
Reminds me of Project Zomboid. It doesn't matter if a six foot stumble is "unlikely" to kill you. It's something that you probably shouldn't do. You can probably jump down from a second story or vault while running over a fence or push your way past a couple zombies.... You'll probably not die to a single scratch, you'll probably not get bitten in that fumble with your weapon. But you really shouldn't risk it if you can help it, and if you do, there's *always* a risk. With games like this you put EVERYTHING up, and outside of a total and obvious glitch, well everyone has to make a judgement call on what's fair

@ultikrill5554 10 ай бұрын
It's pretty annoying in practice when you don't play an archer build. Enemies that are bulky as a truck decide to run away to bring like ten more, just as strong enemies you have no shot against. Because they're both too fast to catch and too durable to take down in time you're instantly forced to abandon whatever shelter you were planning to use which gets seriously aggravating with how often it happens.

its what has always made the mod one of the better ones for the game as i mean playing through the Helgan part over and over is so boring that it at one point made me never want to start a new game but with this mod i can start each char with a different start and using the meet your own chars i have the best followers as they are the way i built them with all the items they had when i last saved them to that mods hall of heros and even with this mod that mod works so you can have a group of followers with you if you set them all to a point you know is safe and combined with AFT it also means you can have more than one of them with you which helps when you mess up and enter an area where your likely to get messed up as you can set them to only be able to be killed by your char which i admit i have done once or twice with AOE spells but hey no mage is perfect
