Mod review: Legacy of the Dragonborn (version 5)

[annathepiper]

I am finally done with my very first Skyrim playthrough involving Legacy of the Dragonborn, so I can finally put up some organized thoughts about it! This review will avoid spoilers as much as possible; if you want to see in-depth spoiler commentary, pick any post in Kendeshel’s playthrough, where I talk about my experiences with the mod in depth.

Also, this review is based upon version 5 of Legacy, since that’s what I was running when Kendeshel’s playthrough started. Version 6 dropped before I could finish her run–and I did not update her to 6, on general “because it’s extremely unwise to try to update mods in the middle of a Skyrim playthrough, especially a mod as big as Legacy of the Dragonborn” grounds.

I’ll do a followup post later, since I’ve launched a new playthrough that has version 6. For now, though, this post will focus on what I encountered with version 5.

So let’s start this off with a picoreview out of the gate: I loved the hell out of playing Legacy. I have some quibbles with it, but these quibbles are minor, and are not in the slightest going to keep me from playing through it again.

More behind the fold.
