I want to play Skyrim but I don't like... Skyrim.
I'm a huge fan of The Elder Scrolls, but most of my hours have been in Morrowind and Oblivion. I do have my issues with Skyrim gameplay and graphics a little, but those can be easily fixed with mods. What seems to be hard to fix for me however is uh... Skyrim. I just don't like the overall setting, visual style of places. Everything is so grey, dirty, unpleasant. The more I play Skyrim the more I want to leave back to the comfy and sunny cities of Cyrodiil or bizzare landscapes of Morrowind. I also have zero interest in any og game quests, the main quest just sucks big time, the guild quests are boring and I don't want to play them again. The thought of seeing Delphina alone makes me sick.
Now, I know there are mods like beyond the skyrim Cyrodiil, but in my understanding they're unfinished and to be honest a lot of it kinda feels "Skyrim but beyond Skyrim" if it makes sense. Especially considering that Beyond Skyrim mod features Bruma out of all places which still feels very... skyrim-y.
Are there any mods that feature a lot of new visually distinct land that doesn't look like more viking ripoff garbage? Something with it's own quests and stuff?
P.s. Ive already played Enderal, it's pretty good, looking for more stuff like that maybe.
