Enhanced Combat

Please note that you will need to make use of Static Sprint and utilize the third-person camera angle to get the full effect of this mod.
IMPORTANT: This mod is extremely difficult and may not appeal to everyone. Use your best judgment before installing. Elements added through this mod will be considered overpowered by the standards of the default game. Not recommended for low-end computers and beginning players. If the mod becomes too challenging remember that the difficulty can be lowered (the novice setting is recommended for your first play through).
The one requirement for this mod is Skyrim (latest version recommended).
In order to compensate for both arguments (quest vs no quest) there is not direct quest that will be initiated at the start of this mod. However there is a map marker which will reveal the location on which you need to travel to.
If you are new to the Inferno series, Inferno: Envoys of End is a good place to start. The mod is available below:
Inferno: Envoys of End
This mod can be started by heading to the main area outside of Bleak Falls Barrow. There you will encounter a low leveled member of the Ascendant. Once defeated you will need to loot his body to find a journal which will point you to a newly added location highlighted on your map (by default the location is already added to your map for easy access).
IMPORTANT: If you do not have Inferno: Envoys of End (Advents of Flame or Reborn) installed it is highly recommended that you defeat the member of the Ascendant in order to obtain your first Xamnant. You will need to utilize these tomes in order to combat the enemies that await your journey.
This mod can be installed through the Nexus Mod Manager or downloaded manually and unzipped using an extraction program, which allows you to unpack files (WinRAR, 7-zip, etc).

It is recommended to have a clean save as a backup in case of any issues that may occur before and after the installation. There are no scripts contained within this mod.
IMPORTANT: The navmeshing in this mod in designed to prevent bosses and enemies from leaving their perimeters. Followers should not be taken or spawned within the altar.
On occasion the default soundtrack will play when engaged against the enemies and bosses presented in this mod( all enemies and bosses should have a custom soundtrack). This issue can be resolved by reloading or waiting for the default soundtrack to end and the custom music to trigger.
Lights will sometimes flicker in the chambers when entering/exiting an altar. This is more of an inconvenience than an issue but should still be appropriately listed in this section.
Right now there are no other issues to be listed. If you encounter any additional issues please send me a message in the comment section or private message me and I will update this section accordingly once confirmed.
IMPORTANT: When installing pay close attention to what this mod is asking to overwrite. Inferno: The Blood Marked utilizes a variety of meshes from the default game that a majority of outside mods alter. This mod is fully compatible with Inferno: Envoys of End and Inferno: Advents of Flame.
Inferno: The Blood Marked is designed around the terrain include in the default version of Skyrim. Climate overhauls which remove snow and replace flora will interfere with the environments included in this mod. If you wish to get the full experience of Inferno: The Blood Marked it is recommended (not required) that you temporarily turn off any mods which replace the climate/flora in the default game. Otherwise results may vary.
Mods which tweak or replace the look of the magical effects/explosions within the default game may effect the visuals of the abilities included within this mod (the mod Electrify is an example of this).
Right now there are no other incompatibilities to be listed. If you encounter any additional incompatibilities please send me a message in the comment section or private message me and I will update this section accordingly once confirmed.
IMPORTANT: Inferno: The Blood Marked introduces new mechanics to traditional gameplay. It is highly recommended that you read this section, which highlights the changes that are introduced from installing this mod. Please note these changes are only applied to the attributes of this mod.
