The world of Skyrim mods is immense, with many expansions adding fresh dimensions to the game. One of the standout mods is “Death Consumes All,” which initially captured attention with its impressive depiction of a plague behaving like a real epidemic. Recently, this mod has received a significant update, enhancing its already expansive scope. Drawing inspiration from The Witcher 3’s acclaimed Hearts of Stone DLC, it’s much more than just an addition—it’s practically a transformation.
If you delved into Death Consumes All when it first launched in 2020, you’re not alone. It’s been downloaded over 100,000 times from Nexus Mods, thanks to its captivating 10-hour narrative filled with choices and professional voiceovers, crafted by the modder Anbeegod. Gamers were quick to embrace the opportunity, saying, “Why not give it a spin?”
Over the years, Anbeegod has been diligently working on an update that doesn’t just expand content but renews it in almost every aspect, extending the main questline to an impressive 30 hours. Recently re-released under the slightly altered title ‘Death Consumes All – DLC Quest Mod (Revamped)’, it’s ready for a new audience.
The revamped version sticks to its original plot: a lethal plague is sweeping through Skyrim, mimicking the spread of historical pandemics. The disease threatens to turn the world into a realm of the undead. Alongside your ally, Livia Salvian, you’ll battle terrifying foes, uncover hidden truths, and choose the fate of the realm itself.
With the new iteration of this mod, numerous enhancements have been made. As Anbeegod explained, the original quests have been reworked to improve their narrative and flow. They’ve introduced new quests packed with rich storytelling and varied choices, increasing the quest total from “over 13” to “over 17.” Additionally, there’s a significant upgrade in voice acting, with dialogue lines exceeding 1,000 in number.
A newly added feature now allows players to “toggle off the plague,” sparing the game’s populace from the relentless death, a tool historic peasants would likely have envied. Other improvements promise refined combat encounters and a reduction in bugs and mod compatibility issues.
If you’re in the mood for an intense 30-hour saga involving the Dragonborn battling waves of undead in a gritty atmosphere, this mod is worth exploring. Moreover, Anbeegod has stated that “50% of this mod’s donation points will be shared with Doctors Without Borders, aiding real-world epidemic efforts,” which is both generous and commendable.
