Changelogs
Version 1.2.2
Fixed the issue with getting the wrong letter, while keeping compatibility with the "Alternate Start" mod.
Version 1.2.1
Fix for Imperials not getting the correct letter, when using the Vanilla start
Breaks compatibility with "Alternate Start" Mod
Version 1.2
Forgot to add the Quest Log in the previous version. That is now included too.
Version 1.1
The quest stays now open until you join one of the factions and fails if you join the opposite faction
If you are using the "Alternate Start" Mod use Version 1.2, if not than use Version 1.2.1 Version 1.2.1 fixes an issue with Imperials not getting the proper letter with the Vanilla start, but breaks compatibility with the "Alternate Start" Mod. Version 1.2 using the "Alternate Start" Mod gets Imperials the right letter.
THIS MOD IS FOR IMPERIAL OR NORD PLAYTHROUGS ONLY Doesn't affect gameplay for other races.
Recommended to use with the "Alternate Start Mod", but not required
This is a lore-friendly way to start a new life, and works much better given the possible starts in the Alternate Start mod- so instead of being a prisoner of war, you join the war on your own accord.
Early in the gameplay a courier will come and deliver a letter to you. Depending on if your Race is Imperial or Nord, the letter will have unique content regarding the backstory of your character and with that giving you some extra motivation to join one of the Factions in the Civil War. (If you are neither Imperial nor Nord than no courier comes and nothing happens)
Credits: EhhyMods for the idea and the request for this mod and making the content of the letters. Btw he did a similar mod himself introducing a very in-depth background story for an Imperial character. Be sure to check it out Another Day in Rorikstead
