Knowledge

Hoss is an old bounty hunting adventurer, and cruel companion to travel. You see... Hoth has a unique hobby - he wears his most prized slayings. He's collected some of the tallest monsters and men's rewards while wandering Skyrim's frigid arctic regions - and he's meant to show off his work.

His armor was crafted from the ribcage of a tyrannical giant lord who sought to unite the disparate giants for conquest. His cape is chiselled from the pelt of an ageless winter bear that has long terrorized northern suburban towns... powerful enough to drive right through the city's defensive walls. His gloves were scraped off with hand bones, where they had been torn off an older daedra cultist. On his shoulders he bound the skull of the latest man he had killed, regardless of merit. Perhaps his most exquisite trophy is the indestructible skull of an ancient and majestic white stag mounted on a wooden handle struck by Eldergleam himself. It is said that the gods and the Grim Reaper used such beasts to test great men.

I have my own YouTube channel where I post information about my mods. Feel free to stop by!

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
