So, for specifics, I'm thinking you'd have the option to pick items from a list: Yeah, there could be unbalanced starts to a certain extent, but on the other hand, it didn't stop me from playing a penniless hunter, or a high-born warrior with 3,000 Septims, or variations in-between. I'm sure plenty of us have happily ignored the main quest, using any reason from "My character doesn't care about that" to judicious narrative editing "What main quest? My character's a/n $Something who got accidentally trapped in a cave on their way to do $Nothing_To_Do_With_The_Main_Quest."īut it would get easier with an alternate start mod, and a mod like that would also allow us to start with a character that has the equipment/other stuff that'd be relevant to our interests.įor example, it'd be easier to RP as a Knight of X Region if we started the game as a Knight of X Region, or at least in some city in said region, rather than a random hobo with whatever we could get out of Privateer's Hold, and no ties to anyone or anything.Ī major inspiration here is "Alternative Start: Arrive By Ship" for Oblivion.

Hopefully this rambling will be useful to someone.

This is pretty much me throwing ideas/inspiration out there, given the state of the project and having my own projects to do.
