About this Mod

Backstory

This is a Lore-Friendly mod.



I must clarify; this is NOT simply a "Batman mod" and this is not an attempt to combine the DC universe with the Elder Scrolls universe. My biggest goal is to create something inspired by the Bat-mythos that establishes this legendary character within the world of Skyrim by drawing from the rich history of the character and making it work within the lore of Skyrim. I made sure to respect the Elder Scrolls aesthetic, history, cultures, world-views, and religions and to allow these aspects influence the backstory given to the player as well as inform the decisions made by the player. I also made sure this would include most player preferences including female characters and other races instead of prioritizing one. This isn't plopping Batman into this world or cosplaying as him in particular but rather guiding the player character into becoming 'The Bat'.

Notes

Future Plans



Further improvement and expansion of the player home and spaces

A handful of unique NPCs including followers, mounts, vendors, and possibly a villain or 2 (depending on my questing capabilities)

A surplus of gadgets, weapons, spells, armor addons and variants, and more

More story and lore

This gives the player the opportunity to become The Bat with a new homestead big enough to store and display all their treasures, a cave built with everything one would need to wage war on evil and corruption, a set of gear to become a legend, and a bit of lore and story giving the player context and most importantly, the promise for more.There is something powerfully compelling about the Dark Knight that inspires fans and creatives to visualize the character in different settings. Skyrim is a perfect example; creatives, without any sort of connection to each other, put in the time and effort to create mods that give the player the opportunity to don the cowl in a completely different world than that of his origin. I've played them all and absolutely respect the people behind them. Instead of fulfillment, I felt inspired. So I put this together for myself and that perhaps others may appreciate as well. Combining my enthusiasm for the character and my appreciation for this game, I wanted to bring something new and well thought out that I would personally appreciate as a fan.Sleep to begin the questTo use the physics based cloak, you must install HDT-SMP and its requirements: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/30872 ﻿-Currently there are no collisions so you will have some clipping.Racemenu is highly recommended - The cowl is quite formfitting to the face and because so, prohibits a wider spectrum of character faces. This was a tradeoff I felt worth it because I personally prefer a fitted cowl. Since there's no way (that I'm aware of) that allows weights painted onto head parts such as masks and helmets, the best solution I have is a list of custom Racemenu presets that fit within the cowl without clipping. There's still some room for customization, however the biggest problem area is the nose. Unfortunately Argonians, Khajiit,and Orcs are incompatible because of their unique face shapes and unless it's in popular demand, will remain as so.

If you use NAT (Natural and Atmospheric Tamriel), you may experience an odd reddish glow on the cowl. You'll need to turn off 'Wet Effects' in the 'NAT Graphics' menu. I'm not exactly sure why this happens but speculate it's the effect on the character bleeding through the cowl.Throwing Weapons Lite SE: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/4668 ﻿Sneak Tools SE Edition: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/1863 ﻿NPC Knockout Overhaul: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/52681 ﻿- you need to port this to SE using CK.
