Arguably The Most Exciting DLC Mod For Skyrim | Odyssey Of The Dragonborn 2023 Update

[@SynMods]

Hi guys, As the development of this project progressed from its official reveal, and as a part of a ModCon's preview, Odyssey's team and I once again teamed up for an updated video, diving a little bit deeper into what you can expect from this DLC sized mod. It's worth noting that this will be a short 5 minute preview of what you can expect from the mod, as anything longer was a little bit incompatible with the ModCon event. Personally, I am incredibly excited about this mod, and as a massive fan of Legacy Of The Dragonborn, and a great record of its development team, I can with confidence say that you are in for a treat upon its final release. But, there is much work to be done, so patience is required. And, I will make more update videos with at least 1 Odyssey related video by the end of this year. Note: All credit goes to Odyssey / Legacy team and their tremendous hard work and effort. I am just a random dude that put the video together, to perhaps shed some light on the project and to get more people excited for its release. Any questions for me? Ask down below, I will be responding to as many as I can in a timely manner.

[@budazenYT]

Only just learnt about this project and I’m very interested with how it’s going! Odyssey of the Dragonborn and TES: Apotheosis both sound like an amazing way to lay rest to the Skyrim modding saga (at least for me, haha)

[@joonyoungpark3255]

So it's finally beimg releases some time next year? Can't waaaait

[@MarauderYT]

is there any planned patch/support for future/in development Beyond Skyrim mods?

[@Predator-rx3jk]

@@zeldude9076I’d like to know too!

[@sakethguruprasad2064]

A very well done explanation for such an amazing mod.

[@icecreamassassin3006]

Hey guys, thanks for all the excitement and praise! We're excited to continue work on Odyssey and push it ever onward towards release. Answers to a few common questions on this comment page: - Release date undetermined - Is too large to fit on any console, PC SE/AE only - VR should be ok - No patches for Beyond Skyrim (totally separate worldspaces) - New game required if you want any support

[@WorgenWorld]

Hey, a question: what's your recommended setup regarding combat while doing an Odyssey playthrough? Is it more enjoyable playing it with vanilla/only perk changes (like Ordinator or Vokrii) or it's doable with MCO and stuff like Valhalla Combat? Thank you in advance!

[@icecreamassassin3006]

@@WorgenWorld you can undertake combat however you feel like. I'd think an overhaul would make things that much more dynamic and interesting. There are a lot of boss fights that will have interesting mechanics which custom combat could potentially put an extra spin on it.

[@WorgenWorld]

@@icecreamassassin3006 They'll be flexible then, that sounds great. Thank you for all the work you and the team are putting into it!

[@luckday_rdam]

Saw the mention of a release date being undetermined, does this also mean that there isn't like a date or month that you wish to aim for its release?

[@icecreamassassin3006]

@@luckday_rdam it doesn't ALSO mean that, that's exactly WHAT it means :D we don't want to make any estimations because it inevitable doesn't work out. We have several hopeful possibilities but it all depends on a variety of factors beyond our control than can change at any point so it's best not to aim but rather just get it done. Once we get to beta testing it, then we'll be announcing an estimated release date.

[@DustDragon]

At this point I'm almost certain all you big dlc-sized mod creators that everybody is waiting for will release all your works the same year ;D I'm so eager to see that happening

[@SynMods]

It does seem that way, doesn't it? lol

[@DustDragon]

@@SynMods You people made us live in joy and get back again and again to this 12 year old game, and it seems you will continue to do so! You have no idea how incredible of a performance this is! I can't wait to see how pitiful TES VI will look compared to a modded Skyrim xD We all love you from the deepest part of our hearts! Mod creators and mod showcases KZbin channels!

[@Kuro-pv3ly]

​@@DustDragonI prefer to imagine a TESVI better than modded skyrim, so we can mod it without the normal bethesda flaws, in a system where modding is even better than Skyrim Limitation

[@MauiBread]

@@Kuro-pv3ly That's a nice dream, but the way Bethesdas going it's going to be using the same old engine, cheap unfinished money grab of a game, plagued with microtransactions.

[@kubawoowio9989]

So like this and skybliwion? Sorry, i started playing Skyrim not so long ago. While enchanced with mods (mostly graphic, immersion and gameplay improving) game still feels half-empty. I finished serana questline, asked her to Cure vampirism, and now she kljust follows me blindly sometines comenting the weather. Im curious if these mods are adding more depth to the game

[@alvakquinn1910]

Absolutely LOVE how you can start with a lvl 50 character! Def looking forward to this!

[@SynMods]

An excellent idea and implementation. Requirements to experience these Acts were my major concerns at the beginning, but late game character creator is a perfect solution. :)

[@Ignatius-ok5kv]

What’s so great about this is I deleted a character and modlist I had been really attached to because I had started to feel like it had ran it’s course. Thing is, this character would have fit perfectly for this questline. And now with this alternate start, I can pick up where I left off as if nothing had happened.

[@verymelonman12]

Agreed. A way to just make a powerful character that can handle post-game content built in to this mod is incredible.

[@petertoth3900]

​@@SynModsthis will be optional right?

[@theterrestrialreader1063]

I hope it has a patch for Alternate Perspectives which I like much better than ASLAL

[@Paisly_]

The lvl 50 with completed quests start option is a godsent. Wished there was an option to autocomplete quests every time I start a LotD playthrough. The Thieves Guild isn‘t that fun after the 50th time but I still need dem relics.

[@TheNerjaveika]

Knowing the quality of LoD, I'm sure it'll be phenomenal...thank you for all your hard work!!

[@fernan2342]

This is beautiful! Looking forward to play this!

You and me both! :)

[@wigontherun3430]

The Alt Start Alone is worth it!! Everything else looks really good so far as well!

[@jefthereaper]

Bethesda: Radio silent for 10 years and releases a space game nobody wanted. Mod makers: Fine, we will make the sequel ourselves.

[@noahgraff-uw8rs]

Them: "Fine, I'll do it myself...."

[@GlitchGames5]

They did it for fallout too lol

[@Dunkingtd]

It's been 8 years and they're less than 25% of the way done. 0 of the 1000s of lines of dialogue not even started. This is going to take decades.

[@MaxModded]

I'm playing through the Shattered Legacy questline right now on my channel and the dungeons in LOTD are really amazing! This promises to be just as good!

[@shaun.shub2003]

So much revolution but we still have a dragonborn with long hair who temporarily becomes bald as soon as he puts up his helm

[@Lingel-Sama]

I think there is a mod that actually fixes this

[@shaun.shub2003]

@@Lingel-Sama there is but its very unrealistic and most hair clips

[@IXFlipyap]

vanilla smp hair doesn't clip

[@TechnoMinarchist]

That opening part... Alduin had no intention on eating the world; he sought conquest.

[@noahfields9046]

Correct in the past, but not not present of Skyrim's story. Alduin's purpose in creation was to consume the world, thus the title "World-Eater". Way back in Tamriel's history, he rebelled and attempted to take over the world instead, leading to the dragon cult and associated priests seen throughout the game. That is the conquest you refer to. However, after he returned to Nirn after being kicked out of continuous time in the flashback seen in the main story, he returned to his original purpose and did indeed intend to eat the world during Skyrim's main storyline.

[@JoacoG11]

@@noahfields9046 I feel like if he actually came to fulfill his rol Akatosh wouldnt need to get Dragonborns to stop him

[@icecreamassassin3006]

@@JoacoG11 Alduin's role is destined though, he's basically the pressure release valve for when someone gets too close to destroying the world or taking a place on the wheel. He's essentially a reset switch and try and he might to rule for a time instead, he still will be compelled to consume, it's literally what he was made for.

[@sterthester736]

He has been denying his role, yes, but his purpose is to consume the old world to make way for the new. It will happen eventually- However in the case of Skyrim, Akatosh clearly has decided this isn't the time for that to occur and gives us the blessing of Dragon's blood needed to stop him. He isn't dead, clearly marked by us not absorbing his soul, but rather now stuck in waiting without form until it's actually time for him to do his job proper.

[@conk-n9u]

@@noahfields9046 No, he returned to his goal of conquest. Hence why he was resurrecting dragons and consolidating power in Sovngarde, and also why we don't consume his soul when defeating him in the afterlife - he was sent back to the Aka Oversoul to be "retrained" and released back onto Nirn to consume the world and bring in the next Kalpa, when it's time for that to happen. His time in the Time Wound passed in an instant from his point of view, why would he have changed his mind from one second to the next?

[@TheMoinomedian]

The Vicn trilogy, the Rigmor Saga and now the Legacy of the Dragonborn's sequel looms over me, hopefully to be the ending my Skyrim has been needing for almost 12 years. Sick.

[@faizalsuhaime6467]

Just in time, then Skyrim Extended Cut release

[@Kitsune44X]

Getting "Voyage of the Princess Ark" vibes with thr airship and traveling across the different provinces. Love it.

[@Bjaz98]

I’ve always admired that Auryen’s voice has never felt out of place with the rest of Skyrim’s voice cast.

[@AlisdairAlbert]

Wow Just wow Thank you all so much for all your efforts and dedication! I'll look forward to see the fruit of your work :3

[@austintehguy]

Looks like I'll be waiting for this to release before starting another modded playthrough - keep up the great work all. LOTD is one of my all-time favorite mods, although I've never gotten more than maybe 200 items for any single museum run! Hope to see this mod in a LOTD-focused wabbajack list in the future.

[@WakkasLove]

Your team deserves a freaking humanitarian award. You are inspirational!

[@TinaLynn]

You guys have some great storytelling already, so I'm pumped for this MUCH NEEDED extension to the main game instead of trotting off to do some stuff that doesn't matter... Thank you guys for all your hard work. LotD is simply amazing! ♥

[@HippeusOmega]

God this looks so good. This would get me to come back to Skyrim

[@SynMods]

One simply does not quit Skyrim 😅

[@MuraCasardis]

As long as we don't have anymore dungeons filled to the brim with enemies leveled to the player (or higher) without any cap like the "Shadow of One's Past" quest, then I'm all for it. Great video, Syn!

[@icecreamassassin3006]

Yeah shadows is going to be scaled down in level a bit in v6 and sancre for thinned on enemy count.

[@sterthester736]

I will admit, I think I'm most excited to learn more about Aryen. Of course, I'm also excited to see the new worldspaces and characters too, what little glimpses this gave is incredible already! The late game start option is really cool, though I actually really enjoy filling out the museum from scratch so when Odyssey releases I'll likely be starting from scratch again just to fill it all over again. If choosing displays is all entirely optional I might just use it to start off strong regardless.

[@nelemuylaert5114]

as an arhcaeologist and art historian, I have so much love for the lore and the legacy mod. To say this looks amazing is an understatement. Kudos to the whole team

[@SynMods]

I'm not sure honestly. We don't really know how Starfield will be received by the modding community to give you any estimates. I think his team's primary focus is getting all 8 Acts of Odyssey finished before even considering expanding to other games.

[@elizawulf8180]

Sim Settlements 2 does a similar job for Fallout 4 as LotD, tbh.
