Vanguard features a unique set of highly curated mods that combine the new features/mechanics of modern combat mods like MCO with the traditional roleplaying and character building of The Elder Scrolls series, all on top of an extremely performance friendly and gorgeous visual overhaul.
The Sands aims to create difficult gameplay that rewards the player for proper planning and execution, while also improving/re-working copious amounts of vanilla content, adding new content, and adding many new playstyles and roleplay opportunities.
