Iron Skyrim Continues

Iron Skyrim Continues

Update: This plan is not working so well.... apparantly something is conflicting with Frostfall, meaning going an environmental death variant of Iron Skyrim isn't going to work so well. I need to figure stuff out more to make this work.

Well, a few mod updates and finally getting the Dragonborn DLC, due to conflicts, completely destroyed my ability to continue Iron Skyrim for a time. So the mod list has had to be rebuilt. My previous mods? Whatever they were, I don't recall. So, instead, I've added a whole new list of mods.

Now, a number of them specifically increase difficulty. I gave a few runs, and found I was lucky to last five minutes without dying. This doesn't make for a good story. (And I've found that enemies doing critical auto-kill moves can end most Ironman runs REALLY fast.)

So, instead, I'm going to try a different set of Ironman rules for the next character. Since I've included hypothermia... if my character dies as a result of environmental effects, they're dead. Combat deaths allow respawns. However, this comes at a cost..... all gear my character uses MUST be self-made. They can't buy equipment or use loot. All equipment must be crafted. (Yes, this includes player home. I won't use any pre-fab home, but will have to use the hearthfire self-building homes.)


Before I go into the next bout of Iron Skyrim, I figure I might as well share the mods.
