Blackreach Overhaul
Ever wished for more things to see while in blackreach? Wanted some more locations to explore and marvel at?
Well this mod is my attempt to bring some much needed additions to all of blackreach, so that you can have more things to see! More contraptions where you think “what was that meant to do?”.
What is this?
This is a mod that aims to bring out even more marvel and glory to the caverns of blackreach. As I walked around down there the first time I was amazed at some of the vistas.. and equally puzzled as to why so much of that mystical realm was… well empty and boring.
The goal of this mod is to remedy that. I have begun adding more exotic locations to visit. More contraptions that highlight just how ingenious and marvelous the dwemer civilization was. I have ofc. also tried to add more enemies, and more treasure chests… in short I hope to add to your adventures while in blackreach.
Oh yeah and before I forget… I detest the original teal visuals so those have been changed to something that in my opinion fits a lot better.
Disclaimer and the future
This initial release is an open beta of sorts! So there might be a few bugs and misplaced meshes here and there. If you find any I do hope you will take the time to mention it so it can get fixed.
If you are curious about the state of the mod and you do not want to ask all the time, I have made a sticky post in the comments section that will outline what I am working on, as well as what I have planed for the future. I do hope that others will come with suggestions since I do need all the inspiration I can get. Part of this whole beta release is so that I can hopefully make it even more awesome for the people who will want to use it.
