The Price of Art

Warning!
Spoiler:  
Show
While many of my mods touch upon dark topics, this mod goes into some detail about the topic of child abuse. While only briefly described, this may cause some players to be uncomfortable, and so I thought I'd add a little warning here.

As an aside, this mod isn't meant to be edgy or anything along those lines, just delve into some somber topics that are never touched upon in Skyrim in a tasteful manner, thanks :))

Introduction:
  • The Price of Art is a quest mod inspired by the story and life of Vincent Van Gogh. The mod features a travelling poet named Gaius, who seeks to heal the damage that he has sustained in the past. He will travel all over Skyrim in an encounter-based format, with each encounter you'll learn more about his incredibly interesting but tragic life.

Features:
  • Fully voiced. The mod features extremely high-quality voice acting done by D. D. Rumin, an incredibly talented individual who did an amazing job bringing Gaius to life. The mod has 148 lines all done to a high standard.
    
  • Unique questline. The Price of Art is a tragic story exploring themes not touched upon anywhere in Skyrim. The player will slowly learn of the torment Gaius has experienced through his life. While dark and tragic, Gaius is an accurate representation of what these morbid events may manifest into.

  • Yes, it's completely fine to install mid-game.
Is it ESLed?
  • It is, thanks to CharderoTheLupe!
Is the mod clean?
  • Yes, I have only edited the necessary cells, there should be no conflicts due to dirty edits.
How do I start the quest?

He's just sitting there after I said goodbye, is that normal?
  • Yep! Just wait a few hours and he'll move on.
Can it be ported to Xbox?
  • I'd like to port it myself but the CK runs into an issue when I try to do so, if you'd like to port it to Xbox, message me and we can talk about it.
