I cannot even tell you how many hours I’ve logged inSkyrimsince the game came out in 2011. Across multiple platforms and versions,The Elder Scrolls 5just doesn’t seem to end, and that’s just the vanilla experience. To say nothing of the countless mods you may get that extend playthroughs even more.
Take, for example,Lordbound(as spotted byPCGamesN). While it’s still in development, this pretty ambitious project, being made by ModDB user Arkay, promises over 60 hours of brand-new content, which includes tons of quests, many-a-dungeon, fully voiced NPCs, and even a new region. Check out the announcement trailer below.
The fact that the modder is promising to deliver “the biggest main quest you’ve ever played inSkyrim” is quite the bold claim. But with all the above and more, it feels like there’s just one more reason coming up as to why we can never stop playingTES5.
Skyrimis for life, not just for Christmas
Actually, let me break it down for you even more. This is what the mod description says you can expect inLordbound(which is scheduled to be released in March of 2025):
I’ve said this so many times in the past, but it’s hard to wrap your head around just how much fan-made content there is forSkyrim. The game will be turning 13 at the end of this year. That’s over a decade of mods and community downloads that not only add to Bethesda’s original release, but actually improve it as well.
Why am I even telling you all this? There’s no way anyone reading right now isn’t aware of how long they can extend their time in Tamriel thanks to modders. Modding the game is as natural as sunlight.
