A plethora of extensive Skyrim quest mods is available, including one that initially introduced a realistic plague spreading like a genuine pandemic, but has now been significantly enhanced through a comprehensive overhaul filled with new content. Demise Consumes All, inspired by the critically acclaimed Hearts of Stone DLC from The Witcher 3, draws parallels with its narrative depth and complexity.
Now, the unique model of Demise Consumes All, released in 2020, has garnered over 100,000 total downloads on Nexus Mods since then, as players devoured the 10-hour lengthy branching and fully-voiced questline its creator Anbeegod had meticulously crafted.
Following that milestone, the talented modder has remained prolific, devoting themselves to crafting an entirely new version of the project that comprehensively updates every component. This ambitious endeavor has resulted in a significant expansion of the main storyline, now spanning around 30 hours of immersive gameplay. The mod, now publicly available under the revised title ‘Demise Consumes All: The Revamped DLC Quest’, has been unveiled.
The deadly pandemic is again poised to ravage the land of Skyrim, this time through a game mechanics system modeled after the progression of real-world outbreaks, putting everyone in peril of being transformed into an unrelenting horde of undead. As you accompany a devoted ally, Livia Salvian, you must confront “formidable foes”, unravel the truth behind the phobia’s mystique, and shape the fate of the realm.

With this new model of the mod, significant changes have been made. Anbeegod claims they’ve comprehensively overhauled numerous distinctive quests to enhance their narrative flow, storytelling, and writing quality. The points system has been enhanced in line with the improved voice acting, with a significant increase of 1,000 additional dialogue lines across the mod.
In a nod to medieval peasants’ resourcefulness during the 14th century, they’ve introduced a feature that allows users to “toggle off the plague” and prevent it from causing fatalities in full. By fine-tuning the opposite settings, skirmishes should ideally feel more meticulously crafted and well-adjusted, while concurrently reducing the likelihood of encountering bugs or mod-related issues.
As the Dragonborn, it seems you’re entwined in a perpetual cycle of battle against the undead, relishing the thrill of 30 hours of dark and gritty combat as you ponder the existential question: what terrible fate has led you to repeatedly face down the specter of apocalypse? According to Anbeegod’s recommendation, 50 percent of the mod’s donations will be allocated to support Doctors Without Borders’ efforts to combat real-world epidemics, a truly noble gesture.
