Alternate Perspective is an Alternate Start for Skyrim, features a total of 12 different starting scenarios by default, which are further sub-divided within their respective categories and can be extended by other mods.
Each of the default starts is intended to feel at least somewhat unique, avoiding to have every start be essentially just another iteration of "spawn somewhere in the world with random gear". As such none of those options are intended to handhold you and depending on your mod setup may be significantly more or less difficult than originally intended. To be precise, if you want to be an Inn's Regular you will be an Inn's Regular and if you want to start Shipwrecked, you will start Shipwrecked, in a ship, that got wrecked, under water and you will not be saved from drowning if you mess up.

Further, for most option available, Helgen will be an everyday town that you can go to, sell your junk, and move on. The Vanilla Intro will only play if you either manually decide to play through it, by talking to Helgen's Innkeeper and choosing the appropriate option, or through some quests explicit request.
