Skyrim, the fifth installment in the saga of role-playing games stamped with The Elder Scrolls, landed in our video game environment in November 2011. One of them seems to want to transform the lands of Tamriel.
Mods galore
With a community still very present around The Elder Scrolls V : Skyrim modders are becoming more and more numerous and the modsmore or less complex, continue to follow each other for role play. To cite a few recent examples, whereas at the beginning of the year, a futuristic way invites himself into the game to offer an experience worthy of Cyberpunk 2077, another mod titled “Skyrim Together: Reborn” arrives in July and allows several players to play cooperatively. More recently, like the system used in Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, a new mod, “Shadow of Skyrim”makes death more punishing, just to spice up your games a little more.
These are the different mods that have the power to change a game, a good opportunity for those who do not yet know the concept, to explain what a mod is in the video game world. More frequently used on PC, a mod is a modification (hence the abbreviation) brought to a video game allowing to add a functionality or to retouch an already existing one. Some mods can even radically transform the universe of a game, we then speak of total transformation, such as the latest being developed for Skyrim.
« Winter is coming »
Called “Skyros”, this new mod, one of the “most ambitious” ever made for Skyrim, aims to completely recreate the world of Westerosone of the two continents imagined by George RR Martin in the series Game of Thronesadapted from a series of novels of the same name.
It is via this video shared on his You Tube channel that Heavy Burns presents the progress of the project in question around this mod of total transformation whose development began a little over a year ago. Lately, the development team has been reinforced by new hires and the people in charge of 3D modeling are working hard to represent the architecture of the buildings in the series as faithfully as possible. As far as the script is concerned, it all starts at the beginning of Game of Thrones, as the player arrives at Winterfell in King Robert’s entourage. From there, it is up to you to make the decisions that matter for the future.
If this Skyros mod has not yet found a release date, it is because patience is still required for a while since other recruitments are in progress.
