Ganzel Puckney’s Two-Bit Literature Collection
An assortment of questionable new literature scattered throughout Skyrim.
PLEASE NOTE: This version of the mod is intended for Skyrim Legendary Edition, NOT the Special
Edition.
Titles included in this version:
– Memoir of Rothchild Armoire, Vol. 1 (Previously this was listed mistakenly as ‘A Tale of Cheese, Pillows and Butterflies’, as I had forgotten that I had changed the title for the purpose of the mod).
– Logistics of Human-Giant Copulation
– The Thumpy Stick
– The Lusty Argonian Maid – A Comprehensive Critique
– The Tragedy of Mehrunes Dagon
– Surveillance Notes
– Tyromancy: A Lost Art
– On Carrying Burdens – Life of a Hero’s Squire
– Greetings from the 7th Era
– Illuminating the Dark Arts
– Tim Rigby’s Idyllic Apricots
– Arcana Lascivium – Prelude (New addition!)
– A Word with the Southern Rose (New addition!)
Description
Revitalise and promptly destroy your love of Skyrim’s vibrant array of literature with this still-developing collection of original books!
Scattered in secret places throughout the harsh northern land, some shall be works of pure fiction; others shall purport to be fact. Only
a shrewd eye will find these rare tomes, and only a shrewd mind will separate the truth from the rubbish – if, indeed, there is anything to
separate at all.
This mod, being the first I have created, is highly simple; I daren’t alter any levelled lists with my inexpert hands to include my books.
Instead, individual copies have been placed in specific locations, the natures of which are only divulged in notes and letters found
elsewhere in Skyrim. As of this version, some, but not all, of these communications are found in the same Hold as their corresponding books.
I don’t wish to reveal more, however.
Version 1.5 contains a modest collection of thirteen titles, all reasonable in length for Skyrim books (the largest title being 3934
words and the shortest being 325). More literature will appear in later versions, entailing whatever subject matter strikes my fancy.
STOP! YOU VIOLATED THE LORE.
In terms of lore-friendliness, the books have been written in a manner consistent with other literature in Skyrim and primarily contain
references to culture, technology and so forth appropriate to the Elder Scrolls universe. If this sort of thing concerns you, you should
have no grievances in this regard; however, depending on a reader’s personal level of lore pedantry, they may believe that the content
of some books (those represented as factual) is taking small liberties with the lore. If you think this to be the case, just remember that
a book doesn’t necessarily portray facts just because it appears to do so. Feel free to dismiss such volumes are the ravings of a lunatic
or the work of literary meddler if you feel they violate the lore.
Installation
Simply place the .esp file into your Skyrim Data folder or install via your favoured mod managing utility.
