It was the first time I had built quests, dealt with scripting so in-depth and even handled things like making new worldspaces. So much of Undeath was made up on the spot, in isolation. Hypothetically speaking, if you were to remake Undeath from the ground up, what would you do differently? I hope Bethesda takes note and adds Liches to its usual roster of monstrous transformations in TES 6! The response to it in spite of all its flaws was incredibly humbling and it’s comforting to see I'm not the only one with such morbid curiosities. were all thrown together in a few months to give the whole thing some semblance of being a 'real' mod and a trial you'd have to endure to get that juicy promised lichdom at the end.Īs cobbled together as it all was, I never expected it to have the appeal and response that it did. The effect of this epic transformation coming from a mere debug menu or console command would completely ruin the appeal though, so the remainder of the mod - the quests, armor, voice overs, locations, spells, upgradeable houses etc. When everything started to come together I figured other people might get some enjoyment out of that as well.

I never started out with the intention that it would become any sort of quest mod.

I always enjoyed the archetype of liches and evil undead spellcasters, and wanted to see to what extent I could realize that fantasy inside Skyrim. It all began as a tech experiment, toying about in the Creation Kit to see if I could make the Dragon Priests a playable race, since they’re the most lich-like of creatures. Well, it's kinda funny actually Undeath as a mod was basically an accident.

How do you feel about Undeath after all these years?
