    I'm a big fan of cities of the north's morthal, but I didn't realise ClefJ had also done Morthal. Looks completely different!

    Just for the Men of Winter section, *hits like*
    Also, the Flying Crows mod would also pair really well with the Witcher overhaul you did a while back.

    Trying to do almost a Berserk modlist, where its clearly medieval in theme but has all the dark fantasy aspects thrown in at the same time. This list helped, thanks!

    Maaaan, that part showcasing the males characters changed by the mod was the best thing ever hahahahaha. I really love all the edition that goes into these mod videos, it just keeps getting better and that part was so well done and funny, this channel is really great!

    Transforming Skyrim to a Renaissance themed game would actually be a cool idea

      And what does saying that bring to the table?
      One Dracula reference in a alchemy case and a fancy castle full of vampires isn't "Castlevania"
      That's practically every damn vampire story, it's so broad that just saying it sounds redundant
      He wants a Castlevania overhaul specifically
      Meaning Castlevania themed mods, not just "Generic vampire and vampire hunter story"
      It needs things like
      A castle redesign
      Belmont NPC's, or at least their house/lore mention
      Artifacts such as the Vampire killer/Morningstar
      Dracula himself
      Unique monsters and creatures of the night
      Secrets in walls
      Mini bosses
      That's more Castlevania
      Surely better than just saying "dawnguard"
      Because if anything Dawnguard feels more Van Helsing than Castlevania
