About this mod

Based on Steptakers save game, Abiola, with the MQ done (legit play through, no console, min impact) this is a great start to just go through Skyrim and do what you want without the pesky MQ. Char was reset to Level 1 AFTER MQ was done, with minimal world impact.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
If you use these, I'd love for you to upload a few pics!

Steptaker made this save: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/5597 with the main quest finished and with minimal impact on the world. He then reset the characters level to 1, so you can have a fresh start minus the pesky MQ. He DID NOT use the console to finish the MQ. Which is great! He did, after finishing the MQ, reset the level to one. So you can level up, pick perks etc All as you want. Every other quest remains available and untouched!

Please feel free to give me feedback. I'll will prolly upload more to this if enough people want them!

After doing a play through of the game, I wanted to just enjoy being in Skyrim, doing what I wanted. This start has been fantastic for that. I used the Showracemenu command and created several new characters to play with starting from level 1 and no main quest to bother with! No bugs, no weird surprises. So here are 3 characters you might like to wander Skyrim with.

Blackthorne (Imperial): For the evil Mage/Necromancer/Vampire types, I made him in the style of Rasputin, dark, sinister looking, not handsome at all, but not a mutant either. He oozes evil.

Jurgan the Butcher (Nord): A true Nord warrior. Play him as good or Evil, whatever you choose this is a viking inspired character. He's a brute and he's a warrior. You don't get called the Butcher for being warm and fuzzy.

Kar'elle: Wood Elf . Always wanted to play as a wood elf, so I made her. I figure if Elves were attractive in LOTR, why not here. I did however make her look like she gets down in the action and not like a super elf model. She seems realistic enough. Play her anyway you see fit!

*Take the portal to Skyrim*
- 1 Month Later -
You awaken near the guardian stones, you have forgotten much about what has happened. Your skills and power have greatly weakened as you cannot remember even how to fight. You search through your items and wonder whose Golden Claw this is or this mysterious cube (Runed Lexicon).
*Dragon flies overhead*
You remember destroying Alduin and setting Skyrim free, although you also know that your job as Dragonborn has not finished... there is still so much more work to do. So you set off, trying to find out more about yourself and to finish your duty.

Big huge thanks to steptaker for making the original Abiola save game. Countless hours of new character adventures have been created from that, saving me the time of not having the MQ to bother with. Srsly, go endorse his mod if you like this one, he made it possible!

Thanks to:
steptaker for his Abiola save game
Bethesda for a great game
Every mod maker ever, All of them! Seriously, without you guys, these games would not be as cool.
