A Skyrim fan uploads footage of their modded game, which features combat reminiscent of From Software’s difficult Dark Souls titles.
A Skyrim fan has demonstrated their modded game, which has combat similar to Dark Souls. Mods are extremely popular among Skyrim players, particularly those that alter the base game’s aging fighting system.
Mods are a huge part of why Skyrim has lasted so long, remaining incredibly popular since its release in 2011. Players can customize the game in any way they want, transforming it into their ideal RPG experience. Some Skyrim players will add Thomas the Tank Engine to their game, while others will only use mods that are completely lore-friendly as if they were an expansion to the base experience.
The video posted by Redditor movefastdontbeslow is incredible, and it makes Skyrim appear to be released in 2023. The player fights an ogre and rolls away from its attacks with perfect timing in the video. The player can also be seen performing a timed block, adding another layer of complexity to the combat that helps it resemble the Dark Souls games. While the mods used only highlight the improved melee mechanics, there are numerous alternatives that focus on other aspects of the combat triangle. One recently released Skyrim mod completely revamped ranged combat, and there are numerous mods available for the magic side of things as well.
The user gave fans an idea of the mods that were used to create this Dark Souls-like gameplay in the comments. The DMCO dodge framework, which adds the timed dodge system, is the main mod. The Infinity Dodge Animations mod and the MCO ER Spear Animation mod then support the framework. In addition, the user posted their full mod list in the thread, which includes over 900 mods in total and demonstrates how mods can work together to create a great overall package. Every player will approach modding differently, with some focusing on adding as much content as possible, while others will only add the best Skyrim mods.
Skyrim is showing its age, and the limitations of the older game engine limit modders’ full potential, so a sequel is long overdue. Since the announcement of The Elder Scrolls 6 in 2018, Bethesda has remained silent on the subject. When Starfield is released in 2023, it is expected that production on their next Elder Scrolls title will ramp up even more. With high expectations, fans have their own ideas about what the game should be, and rumors abound. One theory even suggests that The Elder Scrolls 6 will not have a main narrative campaign, so hopefully fans won’t have to wait too long to learn more about the next game.
The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
