Thinking of trying one of those alternate start mods, are they safe to use? Will they mess up the game or any quests? Anyone have any experience with them?

I have been using Live Another Life by Arthmoor for Years, and have never had any problems with the Mod. I have not tried any of the other alternate start Mods.

Yeah, I was actually thinking of using LAT seeing as it is the most popular of the alternate start mods. But great to hear that it does not mess up anything! Oh yeah, does the mod come with voice acting? I also read somewhere that starting as a bandit makes bandits that you encounter in the wild non-hostile towards you 'cause you are added to their faction, is this true?
