About this mod
During my recent playtrough in Skyrim, I tried a new playstyle as a witch.
I want to share this experience, so I will give you guys a tutorial to make your character a witch.
With this, I added a RaceMenu preset of my witch character.
- Permissions and credits
THE WITCH PLAYTHROUGH
Witches are very common in Skyrim and the Elder Scrolls Lore. There are the
Hagraven, Forsworn and many more spread over Skyrim.
But one thing bothered me: I cannot make my character become a witch.
When I say witch, I mean: a mysterious woman who lives in the woods. Dispises
all humankind and cares only about herself and her potions.
So I searched over the Nexus and found many mods to help me in this playtrough.
Now it is time for me to share with you the following:
- Whatskills does the Witch use
- What factions/quests does she follow?
- Whatmods do I need to use?
With this tutorial comes a RaceMenu preset. This preset is from my character I used
for this build.
In orderto make this preset work, you need the following mods:
RaceMenu
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/29624/?
KS Hairdos – HDT physics
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/70363/?
Fair skin complexion
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/51602/?
Stroja's Warpaints
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/60769/?
How to install:
Follow the following steps:
1. Make sure you have the required mods installed! (and SKSE)
2. Download my mod manually
3. Drag the file to your Skyrim folder and then:
Data/SKSE/PlugIns/CharGen/Presets
In order to make the "CharGen" file appear, you need to save your own preset first.
4. Load your game or start a new one
5. Open console commands and type "showracemenu"
(Unless you started a new game ofcourse)
6. Click the tab "Presets"
7. Click "Load Preset"
8. Select "THE WITCH" preset.
9. Press "R" to create your character and give her a name.
10. Play the game :p
Skills:
The following skills are most important for the witch-character.
Major:
1. Alchemy
To create poisons and kill your enemies with it.
2. Pickpocket
So you can poison your targets without starting a fight.
3. Distruction
To defend yourself! You will make use of everykind of destruction spell.
4. Restoration
To heal your character and to poison yourtargets!
Minor:
5. Sneak
Better sneaking, means better pickpocketing.
6. Illusion
Turn your enemies against each other! Also the silent casting perk!
7. Conjuration
Summoning the daedra and reanimate the dead.
Factions:
This is a hard one. The Witch is a character that does not like other people at all,
but you don’t want do nothing during your playthrough, do ya?
1. College of Winterhold
Before you become a witch, you will need tovisit the college of Winterhold.
Here is where you will learn all spells you need to become more powerful.
2. Dark Brotherhood
The perfect faction to test your poison skills.You don’t like people of Skyrim?
Well, poison them!
3. Daedric quest “The Taste of Death” (Namira).
As a witch, you are a dedicated follower to Namira, Mistress of Decay
Not that you are a cannibal, tough. That part is optional.
Conjure spiders! (see magic part of this page).
4. (Optional) Dawnguard questline, siding with the Coldharbour Vampires.
The reason for this part to be optional, is because you are not exactly an evil person. You kill people because you hate them.
But not because you want to see the world burn.
Believe it or not: you want to be left alone, so world domination is not really an option.
Becomming a vampire is a reasonable choice: you get more powers than before.
Mods:
Thereare many mods you can choose. But these are the ones I think that will complete
your playthrough.
1. Alternate Start
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/9557/?
To be clear: you are NOT Dragonborn. You arenot a hero who saves the day.
So this mod replaces the introduction and youcan choose where you will start your life.
2. My Little Witch Home
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/58888/?
This mod adds a playerhome fit for a Witch nearMorthal.
It is small, cosy and there are many interesting details in there.
3. Witch of the Wild
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/38164/?
Now this is an armor mod. But you could betteruse this mod for its extra feature.
The mod adds a small quest to find a ritual book within Glenmoril cave.
Once you get it, you can perform a ritual to gain extra powers to make your
magic more powerful.
4. Inigo
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/40960/?
As a witch, your life could be lonely.
I was looking for a black cat, so why not a Khajiit follower?
Inigo is a perfect follower. While you are amagic caster, he uses the bow or his sword. And he is a sneaky bastard.
5. Purification of Skyrim - Immersive Poisoned Apples
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/68589/
This mod is perfect for your playthrough!
It allows you to turn apples into poisoned apples. When given to your target,
your target will turn against his allies and die within a few seconds.
6. Lotus Poison
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/64649/?
This mod alters the Lotus Poison from Muiri (Dark Brotherhood Questline) and makes it more deadly.
7. Armor mods:
To make your character look like an witch, there are some options for armor/clothing.
- “Gwelda Witch Armor” from the Gwelda Armor pack
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/56998/?
Probably the best witch themed outfit that fits in Skyrim.
Now it is a quite skimpy clothing set.
The cloak and hood might be the best part of this armor.
- Sotetta Necromancer Outfit
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/59202/?
Necromancers are very close to witches. And the dark themed outfit fits the character.
- zzjay’s wardrobe
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/53442/?
This mod gives you a whole pack of clothing to choose from.
Most of the clothing is for hunters. But you can use them for a witch character just as well.
- West Wind Combat Series – Misfit Mage
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/36780/?
These are already Skyrim themed, so they do fit in the game.
- Cassandra Frost Witch Outfit
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/68653/?
This armor fit the character of a witch. Comes with hats too!
- The Fancy Witch Armour
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/71215/?
This is a more witcher kind of witch outfit.
Recommended for the hat.
- Bewitching Clothes
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/79740/?
This is a less lorefriendly outfit. But it fits the theme just as well.
Don't like the collor? There are some recollored versions:
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/79890/?
8. Quests/Adventures
To complete your playtrough, there are some quests that that would fit your character!
- Undeath
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/40607/?
The perfect mod to play as a necromancer.
I am not sure about the lich transformation, if it fits the character. But that
is up to you.
- Darkend
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/67559/?
For a different experience, you can use this mod.
I think it fits the dark theme and some of the rewards will fit your character.
9. Magic
Here are some magic mods!
- The Void Walker
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/38009/?
This mod adds new spells to the game that fit a witch character very well!
Spawning skeevers, possess your target and more.
- Elemental Destruction Magic
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/69474/?
This mod adds new elements to the game.
Gives you more options how to defeat your targets.
- Conjuration Madness
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/9331/?
Because you are a follower of Namira, you use spider minions!
This mod adds conjuration spells that makes you conjure animals from the game.
One of them are frostbite spiders. (small, large and giant).
I hope you don't have arachnophobia.
10. Misc mods
These mods are extra, and will complete your experience as a witch character.
- Flyable Broomstick
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/19069/?
Well... what is a witch without a broomstick?
- Reapers Witchwood Forest and Cabin
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/30522/?
This mod alters a region near Ivarstead. It adds a small forest with black
trees and red glowing flowers.
It is really dark, and it adds a mysterious cabin.
It will fit your character and is an alternative for the "My Little Witch
Cabin" playerhome.
- WITCH - Campfire Tent
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/70146/?
You can craft a tent, cauldron and more and place them in the world of Skyrim.
Allwitch themed. (You need the Campfire mod!)
That is it!
I hope you guys can make your own witch playthrough now!
If you got any questions: feel free to ask!
I might update this page once in a while, when I come up with something!
