Going Beyond Skyrim: Modders Build Bethesda’s Entire World

GI: Anyone who played Bethesda’s massive hit Skyrim constantly heard NPCs talking about the eight other countries outside the game’s borders, but you couldn’t actually visit these places. One modding community is working to change that.

Beyond Skyrim is a fan-made, unofficial expansion pack for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, which aims to allow players to visit every corner of Tamriel. A goal as ambitious as this is no easy undertaking, so we talked to community modder Will Hillson about how the team came together and how they’re constructing environments that have never been featured in a game before.

Hmmm. Have yet to play Skyrim. Only Elder scrolls game I've ever played was Oblivion for like 2-3 hours but the menu/items list thing completely turned me off from the game. It was so messy and unorganized.

If I play this should I play it on xbox 360 or PC ?

I'm guessing PC ?

sdozzo3925d ago

PC. The mods alone make it awesome.

arjman3925d ago

PC because you can sort out the menu (it sucks in Skyrim too).

ah good to hear. Yea I couldn't get over the AWFUL menu slots and whatnot for items in Oblivion.

It's such a simple thing to make streamlined and easy on the eyes, it's difficult to understand how they continue to screw it up.

WoW & Torchlight get it right, why can't they.

Probably pick this up at some point for PC though. What is the price at still ?

CrossingEden3925d ago

shadowmist133925d ago

I'm Replaying Skyrim (again), and So Should You

Replaying Skyrim after 13 years is a reminder of the progress made in western RPGs over the last decade, but also what's been lost.

anast19d ago

I tried, but it's a poorly made game that insults its customers.

lucian22919d ago

nah, only mods make it decent, and even then it's bad, and this is after i modded for at least 3 years

Nittdarko19d ago

Funnily enough, I'm about to play it for the first time in VR with 1000 mods to make the game playable, as is the Bethesda way

How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera

And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave19d ago (Edited 19d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.
