Skyhigh - Improved Content for High-Level Players

Have you overpowered your character to the point that there is no longer any real challenges left in Skyrim? Have your custom items become so powerful that you no longer even bother with boss and unique items anymore as they are often under-powered and weak? Has the typical compass quests made life too easy? Now with Skyhigh you can discover new challenges and await greater rewards, but be warned many of these additions are not leveled and quite powerful. Meant to offer a level of intrigue and danger like the days of Morrowind. Tales of secret cults in the mountains, warlords in the south, the legacy of Konahrik dragonpriest and his minions who wish to revive him. All this and more awaits you in Skyhigh.


What is Skyhigh?

Skyhigh is a minor overhaul that aims to deliver a better and more balanced game experience for high level characters. I am constantly working to improve and add more content based on requests and advice, so please check back for more updates. The idea is to continue playing Skyrim with the subtle changes and additions improving your overall game experience. This overhaul will include changes and improvements for vanilla Skyrim as well as the Dawnguard and Dragonborn DLC.


Improvements & Additions
- Removed enchantment from Thalmor robes so players can choose to enchant them as they please.
- Added playable Greybeard gear to High Hrothgar unenchanted.
- Added a Dragonpriest mask journal to the dead scholar with the wooden mask (thanks to whickus for his permission to use and modify it).
- Restored the dragonpriest sanctuary to include treasures as well as a new summon dragonpriest spell.
- Improved the final dragonpriest mask, Konahrik to include a more worthy enchantment.
- Daedric artifacts carry unlimited charge to make them more useful and rare.
- Killable children (although you probably shouldn't).
- All merchants carry five times more gold to make trading easier for higher levels without breaking it.
- Renovated and improved the Archmage's quarters to make it into a full player home.
- Renovated and improved the vampire lord Harkon's chambers (Dawnguard DLC).
- Added a new spell, Blood Strike, to Harkon with a spelltome in the castle. (Dawnguard DLC).
- Added high value vampire rings found in the castle. (Dawnguard DLC).
- Improved Harkon's armor and sword to make them more balanced at higher levels.
- Miraak's clothes are now all light armor that can be improved.
- Unique and balanced enchant for Miraak's mask and robes. Gloves and Boots are left unenchanted for player.
- Improved Miraak's sword and staff for increased balance.
- Added crafting improvements for all unique items in game that were left out.
- Increased the time of Dragon Aspect without overpowering.
- Balanced the prices and power of this items to not break the game even at my level 81 character, but still offer a reason to use them.

Work-in-Progress additions
- Add a playable Psiijic Monk outfit that fits with the Skyrim lore (suggestions of where and how are welcome).
- Add a secret cult of Konahrik followers who wish to revive him (already have a lore-friendly story ready).
- Add some forts with unique and powerful warlords who split from the rebellion.

Requirements
This is a overhaul for the complete official Skyrim game (excluding Hearthfire). It includes content from the entire game, therefore Dawnstar and Dragonborn are both needed for Skyhigh to work.

Installation
Simply place the ESP in the data folder of the game installation folder. i.e. "Skyrim/data".

Updates or uninstallation
If you wish to update Skyhigh in the future or simply remove it, it should be as easy as simply deleting the ESP file in the data folder or replacing it with the updated file. Warning: be sure to remove any items you may have from one of the new player homes (archmage quarters and harkon's chamber) before removing or updating the mod (updating should be fine but wait for me to confirm).

Compatibility
Skyhigh should be completely compatible with all the mods out there that don't modify directly the locations or files listed. If there are any problems or requests, please feel free to leave a comment and I'll try my best to address them.
