A new beginning and character twists for the Skyrim world

Skyrim Unbound (Alternate Start) is a free, fan-made mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim that reworks the game's starting point. New opportunities are presented to your character, and certain tasks are removed to speed up the game's progress.

The mod gives you new options to select when creating your character, and it also allows you to play through specific quests much earlier than usual. Though it lacks new areas to explore, like the Skyrim Wyrmstooth mod, it still provides a significant new twist on the existing gameplay.

New beginnings for Skyrim characters

The mod allows you to choose to play as a Dragonborn character. You can even switch from regular Skyrim characters to a Dragonborn while playing the game. Another option is to choose the weapons, gear, and spells to start your game.

Speed up the game

You will appreciate how quickly this Skyrim mod speeds up the game's story, especially if you feel that it takes too long to get started. For example, the mod removes the early quests involving Dragonstone and the Jarl of Whiterun, plus you can also join the Civil War whenever you want.

More features with SkyUI

If you're using the SkyUI interface and the Mod Configuration Menu from SkyUI, you will still have more features to enjoy when playing with Skyrim Unbound. You can even start the game as a vampire or werewolf and choose the time of day at the start of the game.

All-new alternate start

Skyrim Unbound (Alternate Start) is unusual because it makes such a raft of changes. However, all are related to the beginning chapters of the game. The mod's ideal audience is seasoned Skyrim players who want to replay it and avoid the slow start.
