The Awesome Mod Thread Options

[Colonel Mustard]

We have our thread for useful and practical mods. We have our thread for pretty mods. This is the thread to cap off the grand mod trilogy, and it is the thread for mods that are not necessarily practical nor pretty, but are instead awesome.

For me, these mods are:

Moonpath to Elsweyr - Where you can travel to Elsweyr. And it's so very pretty.
Here there be Monsters - A mod which puts what are basically Kaiju into the sea of ghosts for some ultra-hard boss battles, as well as adding some ship captains and traumatised survivors
Space Wiking Dwemer Exoskeleton - Because there's nothing more badass than beating up dragons in a robotic exoskeletons and if you say otherwise I will so fight you!
Midas Magic - Technically this one could probably go into the Foundation Mods thread as all it really does is add some new spells; doesn't seem that impressive on the surface, but it makes the cut because one the spells summons angry bees to attack the enemy, and that makes me think of both Eddie Izzard and Bioshock. Eddie Izzard and Bioshock are two good things.
WARZONES - Civil Unrest in Skyrim - Actually gets a proper Civil War going with randomly occurring battles here and there between Stormcloaks and Imperial Legionaries, with the option to tweak how often they happen.

That's all I've got for now (kind of have to run), but if you have any other really, really cool mods, be they fun quests, badass weapons, spectacular spells or anything else that you think fits the definition of 'awesome' stick them up here.

Yep.. I have used all of those companions, and they rank for me as follows (bearing in mind this is all highly subjective):
Inigo
Arissa and Sofia (for me these two tie)
Mrissi (another nicely done companion)
Anundiel


I have also used Vilja, and I never know quite how to rate that girl. I think she is a truly brilliant creation and the huge amount of work from her team really shows. I'm also in some awe of Emma.. the thought of voicing something in my mother tongue is quite mortifying enough, let alone a different language.
Unfortunately though, Vilja's personality isn't quite my cup of tea. Though, once I have a better computer I have every intention of trying Vilja and Inigo together since they now interact.. which sounds pretty damned amazing.

Honestly though.. I think Skyrim is really blessed with a lot of excellent companions, and I'm very happy we have as much choice as we do. I also intend to try out Benjamin Doon and Rigmor of Bruma at some point as well.

But Inigo really is superlative. I know exactly what you mean, if any of the others talked *that* much I'd probably want to throttle them by the end. But Inigo just has so much soul, perceptiveness and gentle humour that even when he repeats himself, he never gets on my nerves.
