How many times have you started a new game? Surely more than once or twice, because the world of Skyrim is really huge, and because of the constantly created mods, you want to go through all the adventures anew. But there is one drawback - every time you have to go through the same initial quest, which is very long. The Alternative Start mod will allow you to skip the initial training and give you the opportunity to start a completely different life in the world of Skyrim.

Mod details Alternative start - live a different life

There are several ways to start the main quest. You can go to Helgen on your own, or talk to the owner of one of the taverns. The second way is to join one of the opposing sides. And the third, safety one, is visiting the Dragon's Boundary on your own, in this case the main quest will be automatically activated so that the game does not "break".

As a result, you will not only get noticeably more variety from the game at the very beginning, but also save yourself from the painful passage of the first quest for the tenth, or even the hundredth time. Just what the seasoned explorers of the cold Skyrim need!

Surprise me - the game will randomly choose one of the above options, apart from the standard start via Helgen. The start of the game, unique for each race, will be available only if the player chooses the appropriate race for his character.
Try to find your own path in Skyrim.

Skyrim provides several options for the development of the main plot, even if you start the game according to the standard scenario through Helgen. The appearance of Alduin does not force the player, after leaving Helgen, to immediately start completing the main quest. Thus, this mod provides the ability to bypass Helgen, and also not to meet with Alduin. The game will wait patiently until you decide to resume the main storyline. Therefore, you do not need to make any special efforts to avoid resuming the main quest. Just don't start it.

To start the main quest, you need to ask any resident about rumors of hostilities taking place near Helgen. After going through a certain chain of actions, the hero, in the end, will see the flight of Alduin. After that, you can go to warn the inhabitants of Riverwood, or try to find Hadvar or Ralof in the cave from which you left, starting the game in the standard way. Since the players wanted to meet their buddy (Hadvar or Ralof), the game was redesigned so that they both lay injured in the cave. The hero himself chooses whom to help, giving one of them a healing potion, you can also leave them both to die. If you decide to help one of them, you can go to Riverwood together.

If you don't choose anyone or decide not to follow the one you saved, you can resume the main quest in the usual way - go to Whiterun and inform the Jarl about what happened. After which the main quest will continue as usual. If you do not start the main quest of Skyrim - do not come and inform the Jarl of Whiterun, then many tasks in the game will be unavailable - it will be considered that you have not left Helgen.
The exceptions are: the beginning of the game in a camp in the forest, and the backstories for the participants in the civil war - you will not need to visit Helgen to start the main quest.
The standard start via Helgen along with this mod will be exactly the same as in the original game.

Please note that due to the complex specifics of the plugin, it should be as low as possible in the list of downloadable mods. The author highly recommends using a utility to sort your mods. This utility is now fully compatible with Skyrim's new mod load order system.

Most of the players have already passed Skyrim, and some more than once. I would like to add variety to the game. For this, a mod was made for an alternative beginning in Skyrim. With this mod, you can start the game not on a cart in Helgen, but by many others - a forest robber, a white blood nobility, a traveler, a hunter, and many others. Each choice has its own unique location, history, and starting items.
At the beginning, the player will need to create a character, then he will appear in the chamber with a statue of the goddess of love Mara. To choose an alternative start, you need to click on the statue, and then go to bed.

In order to start going through the main storyline, you need to come to Helgen, and after meeting with Alduin, go to whiterun, well, then everything is standard.

This mod hardly needs an explanation, because almost all Skyrim fans familiar with mods have already heard about it. If you are starting not your first game here and you are tired of the boring introduction with the failed execution of Ulfric every time and want to try something new, then the "Alternative start" is the best solution.

You wake up in an incomprehensible cell and your only chance is to pray. You pray at the statue of one of the goddesses, and she gives you a second chance - which one is up to you. You can immediately become a student of the College of Winterhold, you can join the civil war on the side of the Imperials or the Brothers of the Storm, you can become a sentinel of Stendarr or an assassin from the brotherhood, thereby skipping the first boring quest of these organizations. Well, if you're not comfortable with being part of society right away, you can start out as a lone savage with a little camp at Helgen, or crash on a merchant ship. At the same time, you will not miss the main storyline - you will immediately have the quest "investigate the attack on Helgen", from where the main story will go. Well, if you change your mind, then you can return to the standard start by selecting the appropriate item in the menu next to the statue. In short, I see no reason not to download this mod.
