Comical hyperbole aside, I completely agree. I've been using alternate start mods since Evermoon made the first one for Morrowind and they've been indispensable to me ever since. Arthmoor's Live Another Life is one of my favorite of the alternate start mods I've played. It really is a gem.
Agreed, when ever I re-mod Skyrim Arthmoor and Isoku are the first 2 authors I search for on Nexus.
'I am camping in the woods' has been my default start for so many characters now I've lost count.
