Legacy of the Dragonborn Mod

[Wulfbare]

So in all the years this mod has been out, i haven't even touched it. A friend recently suggested it to me, and so i decided to include it in my list. I skimmed the information regarding it, but what's this mod actually supposed to be? A large quest expansion? A museum that holds collectible stuff? Just curious in case i'm wasting my time.

It has a museum to display your finds that generates income depending on how full it is, a safehouse with all the crafting stations, it also adds a few quests, and there are mods that add to the collectables that can be displayed. It also has more manikins than you will probably ever use. The LOTD page on nexus tells you which collectables mods that can go with the museum, It increases the amount of game play because you need to look in every building to find all the stuff for display.

I am currently playing with the mod. It is both a quest expansion and a museum to hold collectibles.

While most quests revel around vanilla locations, museum also ads some new locations, quests, the most advanced storage system so far and new buildings. It also apparently introduces the new generation of upcoming voice actors, because 90% of the voice acting is absolutely top tier.

Start might feel a bit static gear gathering, but gallery and it's quests "live" all the time. The amount of filled displays are a key here. Just keep filling those and Auryen has more interesting things for you to do.

If you are a loot mouse like most of us, mod gets very addictive fast.

Note that this is not a "good guy" or "bad guy" mod. You are going to have to do some very heroic stuff to get some items in. However, you will also end up sneaking around peoples homes to get other stuff in. Prepare to push few perks for picking pockets as well. That is the extend of it though. No one forces you to steal stuff, but in the end, it is you starting at that empty slot on the display for the rest of your game.

Gallery provides very practical safe house. Depending on your plans and companions, you might want to check out Safehouse + and follower addon for it, in case you are using followers that can have displays in the museum. (Inigo, Remiel, Auri, Redcap, Vlija, Kaidan... I am probably forgetting someone...)

Also, check LotD mod to keep mannequins in place. BGS manakin fix didn't work, but Icecreamassassin managed to fix LotD mannequins anyway.

Indeed that's the main gripe of mine to fill the museum you have to do everything really ...

Also keep in mind it WILL interrupt the gameplay flow ... due to the fact that at certain times there will be quest for the museum. That said there's are mods that let you postpone certain events.

It's a great mod. I couldn't imagine not having it in my mod list.

To be honest I play now without and I miss such a big part I mean looting has become boring ....

[Ilja]

Yeah. I started with ASLAL invitation. I tried without it, but couldn't walk past all the stuff that I knew would belong in to museum.

It's both a collection (of over 1700 displays with all the compatible mods installed) and a bunch of new really good quests, I'm addicted and need help

Nothing can save us. I should be heading to gym, but I am tracking some doll in Skyrim.
We are doomed.

Btw the best mod for not having to go to the museum that often is this: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/59010 it can do what the prep station does and also access to the sell cart

You can also use the dwemer compass included in LotD!

That seems interesting. I guess i'll have to check it out and form my own opinion on it when the time comes. I'm assuming it's the big new building in Solitude by the Blue Palce. That was never there before.

[SpeedFreak1972]

Yep that's it ...

make sure not to add too many items at the same time early on. There are steps after which the curator, Auryen presents you with additional items and quests. Try talking to him after crossing every 50 or so items added. There's an extensive wiki that should tell you more on that, mostly on the page concerning Auryen himself

I removed it as it just became a big bloat of cack

[Quevik]

General features:

1) A spot to display all the collectables you ...collect in a normal game.
2) A bunch of new unique weapons, armor, and items. Which you can collect and display, or use. (Many / some of them are cool / fun / useful)
3) A handful of misc quests and a couple questlines, all tied to the museum. (As you add more displays, quests become available).
4) A new guild (One of the questlines)
5) A safehouse to use as a base if you so choose

For me, the biggest thing I like about the mod is that random exploration now feels like it matters. In vanilla, you'd see a cave and find generic loot 80-90% of the time. Now, far more dungeons have something of value in it so a random "Let's check this place out" can be more rewarding. But not every dungeon has something so as to keep the discovery aspect worthwhile.

As for the quests. I think it's every 50 displays you unlock either a new display (the curator found something), or you get a quest. 50 unlocks may sound like alot, but you get some displays simply for killing some dungeon bosses, I'm pretty sure books count as 1 each, gemstones, natural trophies, and all the questlines (like vanilla guilds) have a series of unlockables. It adds up fast.

If you are a completionist who has to get every display, the mod can invoke some OCD. But if you aren't on the obsessed level, it's purely an enhancer.
