Get your very personal Skyrim foe

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim might be modded to the moon and again with new magic, fashions, and programs. However a brand new Skyrim mod provides the Nemesis system, for a bit of additional Shadow of Mordor in your Elder Scrolls.

Created by modder Syclonix, the “Shadow of Skyrim” mod provides a brand new Nemesis-style system to Skyrim. It basically provides a brand new participant dying mechanic, making it so dying in Skyrim provides a bit extra narrative taste and mechanics.

When an enemy takes the participant down, they achieve a singular title, stats, and extra. For instance, they may grow to be a shield-breaking vampire. Toggles can permit the enemy to additionally loot your stuff and use it towards you, donning armor the participant had been carrying.

Not solely does this provide you with a brand new goal and quest, however it may flip right into a boon, too. The participant may achieve a sure debuff upon dying, however be capable to take away that and substitute it with a brand new buff as a replacement as soon as besting their rival.

Rivals of Skyrim

Whereas the mod takes inspiration from the Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of Struggle video games, the modder emphasizes that it’s not drawing on particular Mordor gameplay concepts. The idea might need arisen from having a named Nemesis, however its programs are notably totally different.

And whereas the essential distinctions are one factor, I additionally just like the twists Syclonix places on this rival system. The flavour textual content is enjoyable, and I like the thought of gaining rewards and having to get well your armor, nearly in a Tarkov-style method. It’s additionally designed to work with a lot of different The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim mods. For full compatibility data, you’ll want to take a look at the mod web page.
