Morningstar - Skyrim's minimalist race

Morningstar is a small console game that overhauls race rewards with a focus on realism and immersion in the low-magic world of Skyrim.

Function

While races in The Elder Scrolls games have their own unique bonuses, not all are created equal. Some of them are much more effective in the end game than others, while others are spectacular active powers that are only available to players, which may not be available to non-dragon players. Additionally, daily power-ups are often unavailable due to the need to make selections in the menu, and there is a 48-second wait for the cooldown to run out.

This is a small mode that replaces the vanilla racial bonuses with two immersive passive bonuses per match.

The mod does not modify the match data itself, ensuring compatibility with mods that visually inspect matches.
