Version 6.8
- Fixed breaking pretty much all the lightsabers from the last patch. Sorry bout that!

- Removed the objective to retrieve a Lightsaber Hilt Ingot for the Sentinel Questline as it was redundant.
- There were 2 Jedi Masters on the Jedi Master quest that were appearing in Mzulft. That should hopefully now be fixed.

- Fixed all of the recipes breaking and being visible before the appropriate quests are completed.
Version 3.1
- Fixed the Lightsaber Power Cell Casing recipe not being correctly learned by the player for the Jedi Knight quest. (For real this time.)
Version 3.0
- Added Tempering Lightsaber recipes into the game that will function as a recycle system. What this does is instead of actually increasing the damage of the same weapon, it will break down the weapon into it's most valuable component. This way if a player wants to recycle a lightsaber core for a color on a different lightsaber hilt, they don't have to loot all of the same materials and components again to construct a new one. The player will learn the necessary temper recipes after reading the Advanced Hilts Locations book at the end of the quest line.
Version 2.9.4
- Fixed the Lightsaber Power Cell Casing recipe not being learned correctly for the Jedi Knight quest.
Version 2.9.3
- Fixed lightsaber Padawan recipes not being learned at beginning of quest
- Fixed not being to successfully steal the Way of the Force or Path of the Lightsaber books at the beginning of the quest
Version 2.9.2
- Temporarily added a note to The Way of the Force quest so that once the player finds the HK droid follower and loots the note the quest will compete. (I'll extend and work on this in the future.)
Version 2.9.1
- Fixed Sith Lord Sinclair having the black face bug
- Fixed Sith Lord Sinclair's Cyan Lightsaber being invisible when dropped
- Changed Sith Lord Sinclair's Lightsaber hilts
- Changed the recipe requirements for the Lightsaber Hilt Ingot and the Lightsaber Base Ingot
Version 2.9
- Fixed the messages alerting the player to what recipes were learned throughout the quests looping every time the player equipped or looted that item
- Fixed the bloody note at the beginning of the Consular quest being two pages instead of one

- Fixed an error where one of the dialogue options was not finishing the dialogue for the Sith Warrior Leader on the Guardian quest
- Fixed an error with the Sentinel quest not progressing once the player loots the Lightsaber Core Green
- Fixed notifications repetitively popping up every time certain Lightsaber components were looted or crafted
Version 2.8
- Moved the location of the Power Cell component in the Padawan quest to an easier location.
Version 2.7
- Created individual scripts so the notification display is appropriate for each recipe for each quest. This will hopefully keep the player updated with how they are progressing throughout the quests and what recipes they are learning.

- Cleaned up and updated the features list on the details page.

PATH OF THE LIGHTSABER

PLEASE READ BEFORE INSTALLING

PLEASE DO NOT ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE READING ALL OF THIS INFORMATION ON THIS PAGE.

There are 2 versions available! Please scroll down and read the Mod Requirements section to know which version is right for you!

My mod is a STAND ALONE MOD! You do not need any other Star Wars Mod, Spell Mod, Lightsaber Mod of any sort to feel like a Jedi! Feel free to play with Invasion of Skyrim and Star Wars Redux!

You must start a NEW FRESH GAME if you're loading my mod for the first time or the scripts may not work correctly!

TO START THE QUEST:

Main version: The default intro start is bugged on this version. You must use an alternate start mod like Realms of Lhorkan or Alternative Start in order to play this version. A messenger will visit you and give you a note that starts the quest for Way of the Force and a 2nd note for Path of the Lightsaber after you have changed locations. Read BOTH notes, follow the objectives and read the appropriate books to start the quests.

Lite version: There is a chest at the Skyforge that contains all of the holocrons and other goodies. The lightsaber recipes are all known by default by the player.

About the Mod and My Objective

Since I was a kid, I’ve loved Star Wars. I’ve enjoyed fun entertaining games from the franchise over the years, but no game has quite given me the experience of “feeling” like I’m a Jedi within the world of Star Wars. My dream has always been to play a game like Skyrim but Star Wars.

I was inspired May 4th, 2020 by Pande4360 for making and releasing the Star Wars Conversion mod. After seeing his reddit post and following his release, I discovered the other amazing mods that have already been created for Skyrim, like Lord Haun’s Magicka Sabers and opsguy27's Unique Magicka Sabers as well as the Force Powers from the Use the Force or The Way of the Force mods. Even Evittalex's Invasion of Skyrim Star Wars mod had so many fun fantastic adventures! There were so many amazing fun tools at the player’s disposal in order to roleplay a Star Wars experience… all except one! The one thing that was lacking was a solid questline of some sort that would let you, the player, feel like you were actually adventuring, seeking and questing to build your lightsabers and become more and more powerful as a Jedi or Sith.

This is my first major quest mod I’ve created for Skyrim. I consider this a very big WIP, so please be patient with me! I would like everyone to consistently give me input and let me know your thoughts and opinions. I welcome all feedback that is optimistic and looking to make this quest mod better and more fun for everyone.

If there are any other modders out there, specifically experienced with quests, that would like to help out, then please DM me! I’m open to having anyone join the team that wants to create an amazing nostalgic Star Wars experience we've all been wanting to play for years.

Permissions and Thanks

Special thanks to everyone who has helped me along the way and/or given me permission to use their previous work with my quest mod. Without your original creations, I would not have been able to make what I have made!

Planned Future Features and Fixes

ALL NPC's with fully voiced dialogue.
The light side and dark side - WIP - I might branch down an alternate Sith quest line in the future depending on the interest with this quest mod.
Temper recipes that will actually allow the player to break down and recycle old Lightsaber components
Create a separate Jedi and Sith robe quest line
Eventually tier the Lightsabers so that more advanced higher tier Lightsabers don't cost the same materials as lower ones.
All models will be recreated and resized to a realistic size that would make sense for them to fit into a Lightsaber
Working on full length reverse Lightsabers
Add more storm troopers/droids with blasters
I will continue working on The Way of the Force quest. As it stands now The Way of the Force quest only goes up to the point of finding the follower companion HK. That along with the force powers, is all that the previous designers of this mod finished and released.

Highly Recommended

I STRONGLY recommend playing this as a new play through. This quest was designed and is being expanded on the idea that the player starts it as a fresh start in the game. It will take you through many dungeons and areas that may have been altered by a previous play-through which could cause undesirable effects on the quest, water down and maybe even break the experience. While this quest should be started on a new play-through, you may not be able to play it all the way through without branching off and playing other quests and parts of the game and leveling up first.

I play Skyrim VR. I was inspired to do this mod because of my fantasy to feel like Jedi in VR. I'd recommend playing this in VR.

Mod Requirements
There are 2 versions available: Main and Lite.

MAIN:
This is the main version that I am actively working on and updating. Play this version for the ULTIMATE Jedi experience in order to feel like you are becoming a Jedi! Please make sure you have the required parents below in your load order!

Skyrim
Update
Dawnguard
Hearthfires
Dragonborn
Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch
Path of the Lightsaber

LITE:
This is the lite version that is also standalone but is without the quests. This only contains the Lightsabers, Force powers, Jedi/Sith robes and blasters. Read the Lightsabers book under Farengar's bed in Dragonsreach within Whiterun to learn all the recipes. Your load order should look the same as the Classic version.

Mod compatibility

Always load this mod after other quest, npc or weapon mods so as to make sure nothing is improperly overwritten!!!

Installation and Starting the Quest

Install this with your mod organizer and load after all of the other mods in the requirements. ALWAYS run LOOT and follow the load order suggested. Make sure and follow the compatibility and installation instructions for all of the mod requirements above.

To start the quest, simply change locations and the courier will bring you a message that will start "The Way of The Force" quest. Follow the first few steps of this quest to start "Path of the Lightsaber."

To obtain force powers you may follow the Way of the Force questline and/or the Force Temple questline.

Path of the Lightsaber
