I'd say it's a big improvement overall, so much so that I'm definitely keeping it in my game. So many of the vanilla spell sounds are like nails on a blackboard..Fessels wrote:It certainly sounds a whole lot better, especially the summon spell sounded better, not loud any more.
Falskaar patch 1.1.0 is out fixing a ton of things and adding some stuff.

I just arrived at Riften a few minutes ago, chasing after Esbern. I spoke to the quest starter for Falskaar, but then I had to make a quick exit out of town because I didn't notice it was a full moon and the change started...
. I should just be able to go back a save just before entering Riften...and notice the moon this time.
The trials of being a werewolf, and now possibly a Lich, with a conscience and morals... 
Or maybe could seen another way...my monstrous self only preys on the weak minded like bandits, opposing necromancers and basically anyone who would attack me in human form. That's my story and I'm sticking to it...
As for playing truly evil...yeah that is not easy for me as well, but i definitely are going to try doing so in the future. But whether i succeed in that will be decided when that time comes. 
At least Tesxt Op makes a backup in case of disaster.
