Ravenbane’s Scriptorium Overhaul

Gameplay Systems & AI Overhaul | Skyrim SE (PC & Xbox)

Ravenbane’s Scriptorium Overhaul is a cross-platform gameplay and AI enhancement mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, focused on improving NPC autonomy, guard behavior, follower logic, and dialogue reactivity—while preserving full vanilla compatibility.

Designed with a systems-first mindset, the mod uses modular, quest-safe Papyrus scripting to enhance immersion without introducing instability, save bloat, or conflicts with core game systems. The project is currently live on Bethesda Creations, with ongoing iteration and expansion.
