Mod Release - The Rot Below

The Rot Below at Skyrim Special Edition Nexus - Mods and Community

I'm a great fan of vanilla Skyrim's storytelling style. The way I see it, there are three levels:

  1. Dialogue
  2. Text (books, journals, etc.)
  3. Visual (Why does that skeleton have a sword in its ribcage?)

For this mod, I explored each to tell a multi layered story that I think you guys will like.

Discover the secrets of a mad lich who thought themselves a god. Explore an ancient palace, a subterranean city of the undead, and an insane warlock's research hall. Includes three boss battles, a voice acted story, new weapons, and a host of new enemies. Foil Namira's plans and stop the coming rot.

Features:

  • A new quest with over 350 professionally voice acted lines. Discover a story of ambition, betrayal, and redemption. Estimated play time is between 3-6 hours. There are two ending choices and an emphasis on player roleplay. Will you be a necromancer seeking more power, a righteous paladin on a quest to smite the undead, or something in between? 
  • An extensive new dungeon. Battle your way through a mad warlock’s research hall, an ancient lich’s palace, and a haunted city of scholars
  • A host of terrifying new enemies, each lovingly crafted exclusively for this quest
  • Three boss battles. Test your skills against three power hungry liches, each with unique mechanics and encounter designs
  • Several new weapons, including three magical swords, featuring unique glowing blades and powerful enchantments
  • New Conjuration Spells. Learn to harness the forces of rot and summon horrific new undead servants
  • New Music, featuring haunting ambient strings, a sinister gothic organ, and beautiful vocals
