Skyrim mod brings Shadow of Mordor’s brilliant Nemesis system to Tamriel

May 16, 2022VG247

The mod is currently a work-in-progress, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor’s best feature was easily the nemesis system, and an upcoming mod seeks to add it to Skyrim. If you’re unfamiliar with Nemesis system, it works like this: enemies will remember the players actions, such as whether you had previously killed them or been killed by them, allowing them to move up and down the hierarchy. Get beat by a grunt often enough and it could work their way up the ladder, and they will bully you for constantly dying too. And now modder Syclonix seeks to add a similar system…

Skyrim gets an Elden Ring-style mod that lets players write ‘try finger but hole’ to other players

If you click on a link and make a purchase we may receive a small commission. Read our editorial policy. The mod adds a small dose of multiplayer to a mostly solo game. If you ever find yourself playing Skyrim and think that you wish you could talk to other players through obscure messages like in Elden Ring, you’re in luck; there’s a mod for that now. Players messages across the Dark Souls series, and now Elden Ring, are definitely an odd way to go about multiplayer. But they also provide a sense of community in a way that a…

Will The Elder Scrolls 6 look better than modded Skyrim?

March 21, 2022VG247

Skyrim with mods is beautiful – more beautiful than you’d think possible from modern games. Can Bethesda ever hope to equal it? My Skyrim doesn’t look like yours. It doesn’t even look like my Skyrim from five years ago. Thanks to a furiously talented and prolific modding community, the land and everything in it have evolved over time, deepening in detail and beauty at a steady rate for over a decade, one uncompressed 16K texture pack at a time. Its current incarnation, running over 400 mods and held together with convoluted .ini files and prayers, is probably the best-looking game…

Skyrim mod accidentally turns it into a game where no one has eyes anymore

August 30, 2020VG247

By Cian Maher, Sunday, 30 August 2020 21:57 GMT Apparently loading your Skyrim mods incorrectly can potentially change the Dovahkiin simulator into a game where there is no such thing as eyeballs anymore. Loading mods wrong can have a range of effects on how Skyrim actually plays out. Whether said mods conflict with a necessary narrative aspect of the game or simply render certain errors that lead to absolutely ridiculous bugs, modding your game invokes an inherent risk of absolutely breaking it.That’s pretty much exactly what happened to a user called Camjdent on Reddit.

Someone modded Skyrim’s Alduin into Digital Combat Simulator

August 7, 2020VG247

If you’ve ever taken on Alduin in Skyrim, you’ll know that it’s important to go in equipped with a variety of Shouts, spells, and powerful weapons – but what if, somehow, you had a fighter jet instead? While Alduin ends up being no match for the Dragonborn during their iconic clash in the fields of Sovngarde, the fight likely would have gone a lot smoother for the latter if they had access to a special Dovahkiin warplane. So, as a means of testing this hypothesis, some mad lad went and modded Skyrim’s Alduin into Digital Combat Simulator.Check out the Reddit…

A person submitted all of their college essays in Skyrim Dovah

August 4, 2020VG247

If you have a lecturer that really, really annoys you, you could probably get back at them by writing all of your assignments in Skyrim Dovah, aka Dragon language. A Reddit user named NicolasYang248 recently did exactly that. I’m not sure whether or not Nicolas did this out of spite or curiosity, but who cares. What matters is that there is a professor somewhere in the world sat looking at a Dragon to English translator right now, trying to decipher organic chemistry diagrams or close readings of Romantic poetry written entirely in Dovah.The best part about this is the delivery,…
