» Mon Dec 16, 2013 4:43 am Attention! Due to real life commitments, I am no longer able to update this mod. If you are interested in continuing work on Radiance will I left off, consider this your official permission. Just leave me a PM here in the forums, so that I can direct people to the more updated version of the mod.
http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1373997-relz-radiance-a-simple-immersion-booster/
Radiance is a simple mod with a big dream: make Skyrim more immersive by adding new world events and interactions to the Radiant Story system. These events occur based on what you have done in your playthrough, so that two different characters will leave Skyrim in a very different state from when they arrived. Now you'll feel it when you start a civil war or release a terrorist mastermind from prison.
Please note that I'm very busy, and have limited time for actual modding. I'll add new events whenever I can, but it will probably be pretty slow. I'm always up for suggestions, though, if there's an event you'd like to see in-game. (Also, screenshots! I could use some neat screenshots of these events if you happen to take any.)
