This mod does not chnge the B&W quest, so yes it could be argued its now pointless except for the XP. The same could be said for New Game Plus since you can take the B&W Aerondight forward in that as well. I just really wanted to get it early.
In playing with this mod from Level 16 to Level 40 I have discovered an interesting method to level up Aerondight.
Step 1 Use "Manual Draw" and never sheath the sword. In doing this any charge stays on Aerondight while fast travelling.
Step 2 On Skellege there are two places where Level 18 Drowned Dead respawn. One is north of the Whale Graveyard the other south of Redgill. If you clear both and then fast travel far enough away and back the Drowned Dead respawn. I used White Orchard and apart from the loading screen it was great. With Step 1 above I kept any left over charges so only needed 3 - 4 trips to both sites to level up the blade.
A side bonus are the Lesser Mutagens the Drowned Dead drop including qite a few "Reds"
