Quest mods - and "I just can't play it again"

There are some quest mods that I keep in my load order because they have displays in LotD. The issue is that - I've played them once.... and I just can't go there again. So I get around it by enabling stuff in the console....

The main ones are Vigilant (I really did NOT enjoy it - it.... didn't fit me personally, or the persona of the girl. And it wouldn't actually fit any of my girls in the future I think); Forgotten City (ditto....); Falskaar - not enough content; Helgen Reborn - because just way too much "follower" crap (for me.... YMMV); Wyrmstooth - again way too much follower stuff.

I still find replayable on every girl: Beyond Skyrim: Bruma; Clockwork; Moon and Star; Gray Cowl of Nocturnal; and the Notice Board. I have to say that I would also include in the "I can't...." section Dawnguard - if I could just console past it; and in the "I can...." section Dragonborn.

I have not played most of those.. so I don't have that issue..

I have a couple in my load order, I can't seem to get TO.. and two I took out because of LoTD... Northern Encounters.. cause they just don't get along and Coldharbor Resummoned as their is something in it that wasn't getting along with LoTD.. but it look's interesting.. in a "vampire" sort of way.. the Baddies are BAD!!! been attacked by them.. and holy COW are they tough! ( Soon as your character becomes a vampire they start attacking.. which I kept the main character I wanted to go through from doing..but I had a test character at lvl 10.. ouch.. just plain ouch! )

Yeah, Northern Encounters uses a LOT of the same exact spots that LotD does - for me that's a non-starter: LotD is way more important than NE.

I wouldn't ever do a "vampire" playthrough period, so that one wouldn't be an issue.

It was part of "Winters" story.. ( still is.. cause I will finish that one ).. she "is" a vampire, just not in the regular sense.. game play wise.. I just used the MCM menu to tweak thing's the way I needed them to be.. she's on hold cause, her save file is a mess and I don't have her likeness.. which doesn't seem to worry her in the least.. she pops in from time to time and gives me the worst night-mares ever.. her way of not letting me forget I suppose!

Well.... you'll get back to her at some point - hopefully before she makes your life totally miserable.

I think the only one of those that I've ever played is "Northern Encounters", and the funny thing is that I never noticed anything different that I encountered that might have been placed by it.

For me, a mod has to take me someplace that's fun in order for me to replay it. Mods that depend on plot twists, surprise endings and unique creatures or characters are not very replayable. No suspense = no joy if you see what I mean, eh? :)

Yep. Then again, the ones I listed that I play on every girl (including LotD) are special in some way to me. No, they don't have "gotchas" but - that's okay....

I don't know, I never noticed any new anything after installing it except a new khajiit turned up in the nightgate Inn.

I don’t really use story driven quest mods, so I really cannot comment much, but I have used Notice Board, since it just adds radiant (fetch) quests. Recently I switched to Missives and I like it better than Notice Board, although both can be used together.

From Septimus's cave.. if you go strait to shore.. to the left you should see a "reilking" village...

Hunh... I'm kinda wondering if I didn't get a good install or something. Anyway, for the moment at least it's moot... because I'm playing in SSE for now.

No problemo... I haven't done a 1/3 of the mod..atm I have LoTD in my load order instead... but its an option for an explorer.. or well it just plain add's stuff up in what is otherwise empty.

The last one's the Orphan's Tear - part of the vanilla game.

Oh, I forgot Wheels of Lull - now, I might play it again eventually - it's very involved (well, so is Vigilant - but I'm not much into all that.... dark....) and covers a LOT of territory as to lore and the mish-mash thereof. I mean, you get enough lore to not want to tear your hair out, but it's put together.... oddly.... in some cases.
