Among the vast array of Skyrim quest mods, “Death Consumes All” stands out for its ambitious scale and intriguing premise—a deadly plague sweeping through Skyrim. This mod, originally launched in 2020, captured players’ attention much like The Witcher 3’s renowned Hearts of Stone DLC. With over 100,000 downloads on Nexus Mods, it offered a 10-hour, fully-voiced adventure crafted by the creator, Anbeegod.
For those who’ve experienced the original, there’s now even more to explore. This revamped version, aptly titled “Death Consumes All – DLC Quest Mod (Revamped),” has received an extensive overhaul. The main story has been expanded to an impressive 30 hours, enhancing what was already a gripping narrative. While the storyline still revolves around a devastating plague threatening to turn Skyrim’s inhabitants into undead horrors, the experience has grown richer and more immersive. Alongside your loyal companion, Livia Salvian, you’re tasked with facing formidable foes, unraveling the mystery causing the chaos, and ultimately deciding the realm’s fate.
In this updated version, substantial changes have been made. Anbeegod has reworked many of the original quests to improve their pacing and storytelling. Moreover, four new quests have been added, each packed with intricate narratives and meaningful choices, bringing the total number to well over 17. This update isn’t just about quantity, though; the mod’s dialogue options have expanded by 1,000 additional voice lines, enhancing the overall experience.
A notable feature introduced in this version is the option to “toggle off the plague,” sparing NPCs from certain doom—an option that historical communities would have found invaluable. The mod also promises balanced combat encounters and fewer technical hiccups, ensuring a smoother gameplay experience.
If dark, gritty adventures are your thing, setting out as the Dragonborn in a 30-hour battle against an undead epidemic might be just what you’re looking for. On a philanthropic note, Anbeegod plans to donate 50% of the mod’s collected donation points to Doctors Without Borders, supporting their efforts against real-world epidemics—an admirable gesture linking gaming and global good.
