Major Questline Changes
2 minute read
We use At Your Own Pace to modify the pacing of the Main Quest, College of Winterhold, and The Companions questlines. This mod makes changes to a LOT of familiar aspects of these quests, so you may feel like something is not working correctly at times. We also use a few other mods that modify the other questlines.
Read the mod pages thoroughly to know what to expect! At Your Own Pace in particular adds a LOT of new possibilities for these questlines. You should not have any problem blind playing, but you can learn of all the new scenarios in advance by reading the mod page.
Main Quest
The Main Quest has various stopping points that will certainly throw you off if you are expecting vanilla behavior. For instance, you will always find the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller in Ustengrav, and can return it to the Greybeards. You will need to speak to Farengar on your own to further advance the quest, where he will have Delphine send you a letter in a few days. Various other stopping points are introduced, where the player would need to take action for further quests to begin.
The College of Winterhold
In combination with College of Winterhold - Quest Expansion, you will not be able to start Saarthal until you have completed the quests for the masters of each school of magic, which are added by the Quest Expansion. Unless you sign on to the Saarthal expedition as a worker (read the mod page!)
The Companions
The Companions questline now also requires a great deal more Radiant quests to advance, while also allowing you to take multiple quests at a time. There are also quite a few changes to how certain parts of the questline work, allowing more types of characters to reasonably be a companion than before. You can progress without being a Werewolf!
The Thieves Guild
For the Thieves Guild, we are using Thieves Guild Requirements in order to restrict when the Thieves Guild questline can begin. You will find that Brynjolf will not offer you any jobs unless you are someone who actually commits larceny.
The Dark Brotherhood
For the Dark Brotherhood, we are utilizing Innocence Lost - Quest Expansion, Destroy the Dark Brotherhood - Quest Expansion, Save the Dark Brotherhood and Your Choices Matter - A Dark Brotherhood Expansion to create more scenarios for the player to choose in how they begin the questline, and progress through it.
