Permissions and credits
Did anyone of you ever wonder why the inn in Riverwood is called 'The Sleeping Giant'.
Well, this is the idea and motivation for this mod: (Spoilerfree)

 

 
Hogor is an ancient giant who now protects the vulnerable city of Riverwood from bandits and worse.
The Inhabitants bring him offerings in the form of meat scraps of their butchered animals as a token of appreciation. Most people sadly forgot who he once was.
By day he roams the streets of Riverwood or stands in his camp, dreaming of days long gone.
Hogor has some back-story which can be read in the book that lies on the barrel of fish in his camp. There you can also find out about the story of the old Nord armour he keeps.

Finally Riverwood has its own protector. The Dragons won't have an easy time and bandits now less than ever.



 
Table of Contents:
  • Revised location behind the Sleeping Giant Inn in Riverwood.
  • New NPC (NO FOLLOWER) named Hogor the Giant, who can be found in his camp by night and patrols the streets of Riverwood by day. He will start moving around some time around 10 AM und at some point between 6 PM and 7 PM he will return. He is level 68.
  • New book with the back-story of the Giant. The story is lore friendly.
  • Revised Navmeshes behind the Sleeping Giant Inn in Riverwood so your companions know where to run.

Compatibility:

Only possibly conflicts with mods that change the Giant Race or the space behind the Sleeping Giant Inn. Mods that overhaul Riverwood as a whole could still work if there is still space behind the Inn.
 
Known Bugs:
  • If you wait in Riverwood between 9 AM and 11 AM, it could happen that the giant gets stuck on the southgate. Can be fixed by simply waiting another hour or leaving Riverwood for a short while.
  • If the Giant is heading back to his camp between 7 AM and 8 AM, it can happen that he stops right in front of it. To fix it you can wait an hour. Should anyone know the reason for this, please contact me. The Navmashes should be ok.
Should you find any more bugs, please report them in the comments.
 
Installation:
Simply insert the file HogorTheGiant_V1.ESP in your Skyrim Special Edition\Data folder. (probably: C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\Data). Don't forget to enable the Mod in the Mod Manager of your choice. 
Existing Savegames should work with this mod. The only thing you should make sure of is that you aren't currently standing in the space behind the Sleeping Giant Inn.
 
Deinstallation:
Simply delete HogorTheGiant_V1.ESP or disable it in the Mod Manager of your choice.
