So, you’ve defeated Alduin and freed Skyrim from a repeat of pre-Dragon Wars times. Yet why does it feel there’s a plothole? Paarthurnax even said that not all dovah will listen to the Way of The Voice, and still would favor the late Alduin’s lordship(aka “kill all mortals!”).
This mod… hell, not even sure I should call it one. It says it’s a “DLC-sized mod”, and it shows. It’s called “Skyrim: Wyrmstooth”, and the story is there’s a rogue dragon unaffected by the fall of Alduin, and wants to still try to enslave mortals. The East Empire Company outside of Solitude has put a bounty on this dragon’s head.
Not many people are interested. But they know of one who would be able to take down this dragon…. you, Dragonborn.
The mod is on the Steam Workshop, and has been since February 8th of last year, and its last update has been on June 20th this year. It’s completed. It features a new world, dubbed ‘Wyrmstooth'(that’s about the size of Solstheim in the Dragonborn DLC). New dungeons, a new story, two questline quests, 15 new side quests, new fully voiced NPCs, content that was cut before the launch of Skyrim, new soundtrack exclusive to the mod, and even a purchasable player home.
Also, it’s not just this new world where the action is. This takes place all over Skyrim, even places you’ve visited before (according to videos).
And the best thing? It’s 100% FREE on the Steam Workshop! Yes, a FREE DLC-like quality mod!
It’s recommended to go as Level 10, and after completing ‘Dragon Rising’. You don’t have to complete the main questline, but it is encouraged to understand the story better. Also, you don’t need to have any of the official DLCs, but they are compatible if you do have them.
To get the quest after installing it, you’ll eventually be stopped by an Imperial Courier named ‘Theodyn Bienne'(who starts from the Bannered Mare in Whiterun) who gives you a notice from the East Empire Company about this dragon who is interrupting trade routes all over Skyrim. Why he’s doing this, no one knows. But you’re hired to investigate and stop it, by any means necessary.
So yeah, bring your OP gear. Because you’re going to need it.
Going by the videos, this mod looks quite interesting and well made. I might give it a go.
