It's here, it's finally here. The man's been working his ass off diving into this mod so he can give it a proper showing. So everyone at the very least give him a thanks. Thank you Modswell for all you do, 👏👍✌️.
This mod was removed by the author who ported it because apparently “taking a break” means deleting past work. Fucking stupid. I hope someone else ports it soon.
Man..... It would be awesome if these were the only mods I wanted to run lol but I have to have my Nordwarua mods. Wish Todd would just give us more space instead of rehashing this poor dead horse
Thanks for covering the mod😄👍 I've greatly enjoyed it. Interesting NPC's breathes new life into the game. Beyond Reach is another great DLC mod. I honestly can't believe that mods like these have been uploaded for Xbox players. So many great mods are being ported over. They're definitely worth the space if you can afford it. Once again thanks for the video Modswell. Keep up the amazing work 👏
Completely agree, actually there are a few people in this mod who I think are basically better than anything else in the game or mods barring the followers who are super in depth like Inigo
Now for those that do try this mod out let me give you a little direction pointing to one out of the many NPC's this mod provides. "A Game Of Murder". You'll want to head to the Winking Skeever in Solitude. Once in you'll want to look for an Orc Vampire (he's wearing a black mages outfit). Starting up a conversation with him will lead to the mini quest start. Have fun 😉😁✌️.
I just downloaded Skyrim again and have no choice but to make a new order. I'm gonna go gothic vamp vs lycan and see how these can fit in. Another good video 🔥
@@Modswell Yes, but still wish I had a Ford F6500 4x4 jacked up with 30 inch tires with snow chains on bead locked rims with US flags sticking up out of the bed, a Bald Eagle on the hood, and a big ass plow. I could do with out the flags and Bald Eagle on the hood, but I'd keep everything else 😂😁.
Someone please tell me if there are any additions to dawnguard npcs/quests to add more depth to that adventure, I'd like to run a character like the witcher in a way but that DLC needs more work to justify are near full playthrough with that faction. As always thank you and have yourselves a wonderful day.
I think, to get the most from this Mod, you'll have to understand Skyrim and possibly other Mods on a deeper level, which also takes away from what this Mod adds, which is LOTS of surprises! I think, if somehow someone could curate this Mod into a Load-Order, then have a totally newer player stumble-upon some of this content, that'd be ideal. 🤔 Anyhow, this Mod tends to do extremely well, with any other additions you might have, so long as the two-or-so Mods are aware enough of what each other does, to add content, or consider necessary patches. Alternate Start - Live another Life is a great example of this, with the Don't Call me Dragonborn patch being considered, or Alternate Locations, then there's also Legacy of the Dragonborn, to include recommended additions like Oblivion Artifacts, Royal Armory, A.I. Overhaul, Immersive College of Winterhold, Missives, Headhunter - Bounties Redone, etc. So long as this Mod is heavily considered in your Load-Order, it'll almost always add an invaluable amount of Immersion to your game; it's just unfortunate that getting the most out of this Mod comes at a cost of two extremes, a.) you really need to understand Skyrim and Modding to include it in your Load-Order properly, and b.) you'd also get the best possible experience from this Mod if you didn't know it was installed; an almost impossible circumstance, so sad... 😔
Yeah I largely agree with what you're saying here, good insight... I will be making an order with it in but at what cost?! What do I leave out for it ahha
Max, have you tried Reconciliation: Rebirth mod pack? It seemed to contain some very useful mods, but after it updated today, I couldn't load a save, or start a new game.
In my top 3 mods easily. I love how the new characters know the world, they will talk about vanilla NPCs. They will talk about NPCs that this mod adds. It just opens up the world in an incredible way. As a guy after talking with Isobel I was smitten with her. Chatting with Gorr and you can't help but love his belly laugh. You want to have a night of drinking with Eldawyn because she is a sarcastic bitch that you just want to hang out with and bad mouth the rest of Whiterun with. You want to protect Zora, but then realize she is a complete badass and she is protecting you half the time. I can not say enough about this mod. I've used it for a couple years on PC and I still haven't found everyone I'm sure.
@@fernelys364 I'd have to think about the 2nd one. But without a doubt the #1 is Vigilant. The epicness of the settings, the story, the characters, the ending. I have WELL over 10,000 hours in Skyrim, I've played all the big mods. Vigilant is the GOAT.
@@fernelys364 I think the last in my top 3 is the Serana Dialogue Improvement. She was my, and most of our favorite vanilla follower. The improvement mod just makes her infinitely better. So much more depth and conversations available. Adding that mod and throwing in Inigo and even Sofia is amazing!! The way she teases Inigo about him being a little scared of her, or how she tries to make a real lady out of Sofia is so fun to be a part of.
Do you have a specific load order for this mod you’re using? Or still testing? Love the channel btw you changed how I play Skyrim and Im in love with Fallout 4 again because of you.
I'm using Lux The difference is quality and optimisation, Populated has bad AI and causes crashes very easily if you arent prepped This has good AI, voice acting, better optimisation and a whole bunch more
Thanks for such a thorough review! The only thing keeping me from installing this mod is that I've read that its NPCs can sometimes be too "meta" (so to speak); too aware of the video game mechanics and that is a dealbreaker for me. Would you agree with that?
I've played this mod for about 30 hours and I've only found one companion that's directly making fun of one of the game's mechanics (if you consider the bland recycled dialogue of vanilla followers to be a mechanic). Even in that instance, it's done without really screaming "Hey this part of the vanilla game is really poorly done." In contrast, some of the other big companion mods like Inigo or SDA have waaaay more instances of pure fourth wall breaks than anything I've come across in this mod. Then again, I've only found like half of the companions, but still. Not downloading this mod because a few of the followers aren't to your liking is like not downloading a weapon pack mod that add 2000 items just because you don't like three of the mod's warhammers.
Theres a ton of variance on Follower style, some will break the fourth wall and others are more discreet but it is quite rare for them to pull something immersion breaking out
Oh dear Tempus Maledictum. You are such a handsome, and incredible modlist. Others can only envy your size and divinity. Why did you have to abandon the Interesting NPC's?
I ran into Haakon Iron-Fist while I was serving time for stealing a bottle of wine from Candlehearth! let's just say I was half tempted to run that %&@ down with my greatsword! after I fus-roh-dah him off the Throat Of The World!
@@xteel1013 AI overhaul uses less scripts and it's much easier on the system IC is one of the mods you need to build your lo around. but in my opinion they're just as good as eachother, you just need to choose witch one you like best :)
Same here. Theres quite a few follower mods I've liked that are costly enough and Im afraid I might have some sacrificing to do. I wish we could have more room on console.
I just downloaded it, but there are meant to be 3 files, but there are only 2 (the masterfile and 1 other file), so I'm a bit worried about that. These files come to 1.5gb. I've spoken to some 3DNPC characters and had 1 follower, but haven't tried any of the new quests yet.
@@OhhReignify Yes, I only got to play a bit of this mod years ago on my old potato before it died lol, so I'm doing a playthrough specifically for Interesting NPCs so I can see more of this wonderful mod! I loved the Tales From the Commonwealth in Fallout 4, so looking forward to Interesting NPCs 😊
@@OhhReignify Okay phew, this mod is incredible! I highly recommend a playthrough just to experience Interesting NPCs, as it adds loads of quests, 200 odd NPCs, lots of followers with many voice lines, personal quests and often tie in with other questlines and NPCs! I've spent this week focusing mainly on this mod and have done some fun quests, and have barely scratched the surface 😁
More like insufferable npcs. They're so pointlessly talkative I would actually dread running into them. I encountered a handful of good characters, but for the most part they stick out like sore thumbs to the degree of being immersion breaking. I love and consider every one of kristakahashi's fallout mods as essential in my load order, but unfortunately I can't recommend his Skyrim mod. I commend everyone who worked on it, it's well put together, but I wouldn't call it good and it just doesn't fit in with the rest of the game.

You're welcome pal! I enjoyed playing with the mod and will do again in the future
Wow they finally ported it. This has been a staple on my modlist on PC since LE.
Has to be, top class mod!
This mod was removed by the author who ported it because apparently “taking a break” means deleting past work.
Fucking stupid. I hope someone else ports it soon.
...damn just when I thought I had the perfect load order a new mod comes to Xbox...now I want it....back to modding Skyrim again....
Welcome to my world! Hahha
@@Modswell 😅
Man..... It would be awesome if these were the only mods I wanted to run lol but I have to have my Nordwarua mods. Wish Todd would just give us more space instead of rehashing this poor dead horse
I would appreciate an actual HD remake with updated textures and made on the Improved game engine.... and yeah definitely more reserve space
i haven't tried it out yet,, but it does look great!
i'm exited for the the new lo
Yeah I'm testing that order slowly now but it isnt where I want it yet
Thanks for covering the mod😄👍

@@Modswell same here. Lucky indeed. Once again thanks for covering these great mods👍
Wow you uploaded this as I searched it .
Haha that's good timing!
Great job on the Showcase Modswell.
Thanks pal, appreciate it!
Rumarin is one the best designed personalities in a video game in existence. This mod is worth it for him alone.
Completely agree, actually there are a few people in this mod who I think are basically better than anything else in the game or mods barring the followers who are super in depth like Inigo
Rumarin is my babe. I can't play skyrim without him
Ooh Wednesday night special lol, great video as always Mod looks great aswell, thanks man
Yeah pal, had to catch up after missing the last release

@@OleDirtyMacSanchez lol shut up
@@chicken4090, maybe but first I have to get my cheese, it's a very delicate matter. Mind the the Narwhale, especially it's pointy end.
@@OleDirtyMacSanchez fucking what?
My favorite mod since forever, I'm so glad it's been ported to xbox. It really fleshes out the world, gives it some depth with all the interactions.
So far I'm really enjoying it
I just downloaded Skyrim again and have no choice but to make a new order. I'm gonna go gothic vamp vs lycan and see how these can fit in. Another good video 🔥
Good way to play, welcome back!
I can't wait for the showcase of that other big mod Modswell.
As soon as I get some free time I itented on making it bud
@@Modswell Cool. Damnedable 2000 mile long storm just dumping snow everywhere. Supposed to do it all the way till Friday.
Offt, you'll need to occupy yourself then!
@@Modswell Yes, but still wish I had a Ford F6500 4x4 jacked up with 30 inch tires with snow chains on bead locked rims with US flags sticking up out of the bed, a Bald Eagle on the hood, and a big ass plow. I could do with out the flags and Bald Eagle on the hood, but I'd keep everything else 😂😁.

The link no longer has the mod
Does anyone know if you can run this with Jk’s Skyrim/Jk’s interiors?
you could, but i wouldn't recommend because it would be super heavy on your console :(
Probably wont be the friendliest but it should work, the edits are minimal in any one area to keep it more performance friendly
Do you have a specific load order for this mod you’re using? Or still testing? Love the channel btw you changed how I play Skyrim and Im in love with Fallout 4 again because of you.
No I just edited my vamp order for space and am testing on that whilst I write up my next order
You mentioned pairing this with "razz" what's that?
What the hell is Geralt of Rivia doing in Skyrim?
Haha just a fun design for the character
What interior lighting setup are you using? Also what's the difference between this and populated series type mods? Besides the quest and marriage
I'm using Lux
The difference is quality and optimisation, Populated has bad AI and causes crashes very easily if you arent prepped
This has good AI, voice acting, better optimisation and a whole bunch more
Should I switch from Immersive Citizens to this instead if I want it to be immersive?
You can run both, IC or AI Overhaul wont touch them
I’m loving so far. Will have a hard time not using in future lo.
Yeah it'll be in my next because I want to experience it a little more
@@Modswell MAXI TO THE RESCUE!!!
Thanks bud aha
May I ask what lo are you running rn
Still the last order but with the vamp/wolf stuff removed
@@Modswell aye the Gothic load order one

Bruh finally the mod that was on PC for years is now available on Xbox
We eventually get most things, just have to wait
Cool
Excuse me, but if I go to your load order link I can’t seem to find a LO including ‘interesting NPCs’. Which one is it? Thanks for the great work.
I'm trying to cut down "How Skyrim Should have been to fit it in

That comes from ScryUI
@@Modswell Ahh okay! Thank you.
this mod dosent work att all no extra npcs att all
...will this mod conflict with immersive citizens and immersive patrols?....
IC no, IP maybe because of spawn count but I doubt it will be severe because of how it distributes the new characters

I loved the concept but it's too much costly for me. I use inigo so yeah, a sad day for console users indeed
That's fair, it's sad that it costs so much but it is top tier
Same here. Theres quite a few follower mods I've liked that are costly enough and Im afraid I might have some sacrificing to do. I wish we could have more room on console.
