Don’t get me wrong, the dragon attack and fighting your way through Helgen is one of the most exciting openings to a game I’ve played. After doing it twice, once for the Stormcloaks and again for the Imperials, it loses its touch.

That’s where Alternate Start – Live Another Life comes in. By offering the player the opportunity to pick from a multitude of different starting options, unlocking new opportunities and places to begin the game, the mod improves the starting experience immensely. Giving you a great deal of choice in the matter, from starting at the beginning of a quest-line to being part of a vampire coven.

The mod is a necessity to improve the replay ability of Elder Scrolls VI. While Elder Scrolls games are already incredibly replay-able, this would only serve to add even more options for new characters. The only problem, would be implementing it, while still having a story-centric start to the game. Maybe forcing the player through a scripted beginning once before allowing them the option of an Alternate Start? Or even making so that the main story is started from anywhere in the game?

Just don’t make it so I must listen to a character like Lokir whine about how this is 'all a mistake' for five minutes, before I can play the game.

I like video games, writing and writing about video games. Expect sarcasm and the dry wit of a Brit. And the occasional rant of a unhappy Scot. You know... the usual.
