While many Elder Scrolls fans will be looking to the future of the franchise, many are still looking for new ways to experience the likes of Oblivion and Skyrim. Now it seems fans can have the best of both worlds, thanks to a mod that recreates Oblivion using Skyrim’s engine [via Eurogamer].
The Skyblivion mod has been seven years in the making but aims to house The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion within the world of Skyrim using remastered assets.
According to the project’s creators, mod team TESRenewal, most of the work has now been completed. The team is now working on polishing and refining the experience.
It seems that TESRenewal is going above and beyond with this remaster, aiming to not just replicate the experience of Oblivion, but recreate it using NPC descriptions and subtext found within the original game. The above video details the team’s progress so far, as well as how they’ve added Oblivion’s quests into the game.
Thanks to a custom tool, the team were able to convert quests from Oblivion into Skyrim, which made the process quicker and easier to patch. Due to instability issues, this is the first time quests have been successfully added into the mod. The end result should be the inclusion of many memorable events and quests into the mod.
With any luck, fans will soon be wandering the land of Cyrodiil once again, with the team stating that “Despite the massive scope of this project, we are finally seeing the end of the road, but there is still work to be done.” There’s no doubt that this project will be a sight to behold upon completion.
While you wait, there’s plenty of fun to be had when it comes to modding Skyrim. While there are countless mods to be found on the likes of NexusMods, I can’t recommend enough trying out this wholesome mod, which causes NPCs to compliment your naked bod.
