****VERSION 2 IN DEVELOPMENT****
Big Thanks to Capt. Panda , Kaoson & DroppedIceCream for featuring Strongholds - Largashbur in their mod showcase Video
os!
My goal with these mods is to give the Orc Strongholds a much needed makeover, to make them look and feel more like a fortified Stronghold and less of a generic camp, and give each Stronghold it's own visual personality.
(TLDR Further Down)
Largashbur is the second entry in my overhauls, my aim is to focus on immersion and adding elements to bring the strongholds up to date while still keeping them lore friendly.
I feel the vanilla Orc Strongholds are quite lackluster and underwhelming, there is not much difference between the Orc Strongholds and the average Bandit camp, like Halted Steam Camp, Robber's Gorge etc.
When exploring Skyrim it's difficult to distinguish between Bandit Camps and Orc Strongholds, so hopefully this mod injects more personality into the different locations, and makes it easier to distinguish the two.
Quotes from the Wiki ;
Orsimer
- "Besides being renowned for their smithing skills, Orcs are also make delicate and beautiful arts."
Orcs in Skyrim
- "Orc Strongholds are scattered throughout Skyrim. The Orcs have lived in Skyrim for centuries in tribal communities based around Strongholds."
- "Orc strongholds are well defended and are often situated around deposits of mineral wealth. Each one contains the infrastructure to support many families, surrounded by walls designed to repel anything but the strongest martial force. destroyed strongholds often return within a generation of their destruction"
For Largashbur i took inspiration from many sources, historical forts as well as many different concept artworks, this Viking Fortress concept ar by Caroline Soucy was the image that started off the creative process.
The following are not required for my mod to function, it will function on
It's own. These are my personal favorite mods I enjoy to add an extra
layer of Immersion and upgraded visuals. Click on the pretty pictures for more info.
Conflicts
- eFPS - Exterior FPS boost - you will get flickering and disapearing objects as you move around the Stronghold in some minor areas, i have made compatibility patch to fix this, you can find it in the optional files tab.
- Spice of Life - Orc Strongholds SE - There are floating leaves and a clipping floor near my newly placed walls when this mod is running alongside my mod, a Patch is provided in the optional files tab.
- Lux Via - You will see floating objects near the farm area if you use Lux Via with my mod, a Patch is provided in the optional files tab
- Lux Orbis - If you have Lux Orbis and my mod the campfire will have been moved back to vanilla location, there is a patch for this in the optional files tab.
- Any mod that alters the exterior cell of Narzulbur will be incompatible.
- Unknown if extra Orc Npcs mods have an effect as i don't use them. my mod already adds a few extra npcs so you might not need any extra.
GRASS MODS
There WILL be quite a lot of clipping grass, depending on which grass mods you use. Won't be making patches for grass mods other than the two grass mods listed below that i personally use in my load order. I have made edits to the vanilla terrain on the main mod, it's not the best edit, grass is a pain in the Ck so
If anyone wants to make a grass patch for my mod go ahead.
- Folkvangr - Grass and Landscape Overhaul - You'll see grass everywhere if you use this, there's a patch in the optional files tab.
- Origins Of Forest - 3D Forest Grass - again you'll see grass everywhere, i'm still trying to figure out a patch for this, as i use Origins + Folkvanger combined.
DYNDOLOD USERS
- you will need to re run DynDolod after installing my mod, otherwise you'll get pop in of the walls and towers from a distance.
Thank you for reading, ENJOY.
