SKYRIM | Civil War Playthrough - Spicy Edition (Kaidan Immersive Features)

Play through the Skyrim Civil War questline as a Stormcloak while being in a love triangle between Ulfric and Kaidan!
It’s incredible what Kaidan’s team has accomplished here. It has been a long time since I have played the civil war questline and even longer still since I’ve sided with the Stormcloaks. The spice added by Kaidan Immersive features really adds to the story and I feel like it should have been there all along. I mean it makes sense that Ulfric would be interested in the Dragonborn as a potential spouse even if it is only to further his power and influence. Having the DB (dragonborn) as Queen would do a lot to solidify his reputation and demand respect not only from the other Jarls but perhaps the other provinces. I’m still not a fan of Ulfric’s rhetoric, but IF really humanized him for me and made me not actively hate him haha!
And the way he calls you little dovah...gods have mercy. I’m weak.
You can download Kaidan Extended Edition and Kaidan Immersive Features through the kaidanmod.com website.
If you’re curious about my game, I have my modlist posted here:

Ugh fine. I'll do the Stormcloaks questline. I can't stand Ulfric, but this is some killer dialogue. There's just something about disappointing Balgruuf that kills me inside 😢 I love how Kaidan is like "oh fuck off" to everyone except the little girl. He's so polite to her and it's my favorite 🤌🏼

@MinastaurielLithoniel2713 9 ай бұрын

If you're on pc, there's a mod called the Balgruuf Dilema. It allows you to convince Balgruuf to side with Ulfric. It would allow you to experience the spice and keep Balgruuf from being disappointed in you. It's what I use.

@OneStrangeLittleFish 6 күн бұрын

I quite literally just downloaded the Balgruuf Dilemma yesterday and played through the Ulfric Spice. It was top tier. The only problem is it will skip one dialogue scene following taking over whiterun but it was a small price to pay to keep the friendly dialogue with Jarl Ballin’ and the Fratpack 😂

@ChaoticComrade 6 күн бұрын

@OneStrangeLittleFish That is the correct option. Ballin' > One line. Also the line you'd get could be easily found or (hopefully) shared.

@purinpanda8302 10 ай бұрын

One thing i like and appreciate about Kaidan is that he'll never walk on eggshells for anybody, be it commoner or Jarl. But on the other hand, I wish he'd acknowledge the DB is grown woman who can make their own decisions. My man, you dont have to defend us all the time.😅 His jealousy probably just makes it harder on the DB. You dont have to try so hard if its already yours.🥴

@katherinedickerson2334 9 ай бұрын

Yeah, that's fair but it is nice to have someone back us up like that. While I can see the appeal of Ulfric, something about him doesn't sit right with me and his advances make me a bit uncomfortable tbh. So I was quietly cheering on Kaidan as he popped off. In fact it endears him to me even more. Though admittedly, if my Dragonborn had her way, she wouldn't be involved with any of it. A civil war is what tore apart and scattered her family. She wouldn't feel right taking an oath to participate in one.

@stitch01 2 ай бұрын

I really like that, it tracks for his character. I would also like development over time in which he becomes comfortable enough in the relationship that his behavior starts to change, but I like him just the way he is. Remember, he is a man just coming into new love and doesn't recognize it. In the notes he writes you it's apparent he's struggles to control himself when the DB's honor is questioned, and I really like that attention to detail.

Oh wow, so glad you uploaded this! I've not gotten to the civil war in my recent playthrough since downloading IF so its awesome to see some of the stuff it entails! I think my DB's response would be somewhere between a sarcastic "Oh no, please guys, dont fight over little old me." and "Kaidan please, you're already banned from Dawnstar..."

They really phoned this one in huh? Brynjolf has at least a trist option and several of the TG members have dialogue all through the questline. This was just Ulfric and a few lines from Galmar and guards that didn't really go anywhere at all. This was like 95% just vanilla civil war quest 😂 glad you posted this so at least I know I'm not missing much at all.

@Lavendarrr 9 ай бұрын

The perfect time to become a stormcloak is after you find out you're dragonborn but BEFORE you go see the greybeards for the first time :) Ulfric has some specific dialogue that makes more sense if you hold off on greybeards until after you join

@Lavendarrr 9 ай бұрын

And don't rush out of the palace after turning in a quest since Ulfric and Kai should have a new interaction each time. And click on Ulfric from time to time since he has a couple of convos with you :)

@samanthagolding3876 9 ай бұрын

Can these interactions only happen at a certain stage of your relationship with Kaidan? Coz for me Kaidan spoke perfectly to the companions, but he isn't interacting this this quest. Did I progress it too far? I haven't been proposed to yet, but I deliberately avoid talking to him at a home, because he does propose then, but I believe it'll affect the other quests I still want to do with him, including the thieves guild 😢

@Lavendarrr 9 ай бұрын

Yes I thiiiiink once he has declared his love there is no Ulfric spice - or at least very very little. As you saw, a lot of the dialogue depends on kai not having expressed his feelings for the DB so if he has, the angsty dialogue wouldn't make sense.

@samanthagolding3876 9 ай бұрын

Aw man. Well I'll go back many saves then rather as I'm currently playing everything around the new Kaidan update. Thank you for helping ❤ also you get this a lot but your Dragonborn is soooo beautiful!😮

@libsant9786 Ай бұрын

I like the added dialogue could be read as both interpretations people have of ulfric (for a moment lets ignore the thalmor documents) Ulfric is either a headstrong arrogant idiot with a big ego and wants to rule skyrim because of his outrage over the war and hatred of the other races OR he's a wounded soldier who believes his visions (though perhaps a little overzealous and aggressive) would bring skyrim to a better place and preserve the culture. Both of these interpretations work with the dialogue. Kaiden's responses lean more towards the former, but that could be the mod writer's personal choice/belief how Kaiden would see him. It doesn't necessarily affect the reality.

@beboybenkins 3 ай бұрын

I am with everyone else. I always play as an elf (Bosmer) and it is like a slap every single time someone says it is the elves fault. It is the Thalmor, it is their fault. Yes they may mostly be elves, but not all elves are Thalmor. hahah Thus we all know.

Hey! No I don't use wabba but back when I first started modding I used a NOLVUS mod list as a base for my core system and visual mods. Over time I added new mods and swapped some out to make the list my own. You can auto install their lists but I highly highly recommend doing it manually just so you know what exactly you are downloading and also so you can better troubleshoot should something go wrong. It is tedious work but very rewarding in the end to have a game that is all your own :D
