Skyrim fans stunned by next-gen overhaul that'd blow my PC to hell

Skyrim fans stunned by next-gen overhaul that'd blow my PC to hell

At this point it doesn't even look like Skyrim anymore

Are you excited for The Elder Scrolls 6, but don't want to wait another eight years for Bethesda to release it? Well if you have a PC capable of powering an entire city's electrical grid, then wait no longer.

You know, mods are great and all, but at some point you've got to wonder why someone would go to all the trouble of modding a game to the point of being completely unrecognisable.

Which neatly brings us to today's example, because honestly I wouldn't know I was looking at Skyrim right now if this post didn't come from the r/skyrim subreddit.

User Easy-Passage2383 (oh you just chose that username at random I assume) on Reddit recently posted a version of Skyrim that looks less like an Elder Scrolls game and more like an advert you might see for a Chinese mobile game.

The clip sees them running around Falkreath, with their beautiful, luscious locks of hair flowing behind them as an oddly dream-like glow covers the entire town. Honestly this wouldn't look amiss in a CGI trailer for World of Warcraft.

Users on the post were, uh, confused? Somewhat impressed and disgusted too, but mostly just confused.

"You have some skyrim in your mod engine" replied user Massive-Reach6032 (ok seriously what is with these usernames).

"Have you perchance used a mod?" commented user spicy_feather.

The poster in question did link a Google Drive containing the majority of mods they're using to achieve this monstrosity, in case you also wanted to make your version of Skyrim look like something out of a 4K upscaled Barbie Horse Adventures fever dream.

I don't recommend doing so however, mostly because the end result looks ghastly but also because it took me about five hours to scroll through every available mod in that list.

Honestly by the time you've installed them all, The Elder Scrolls 6 will probably be out anyway.
