The team behind the popularSkyrimmod “Saints & Seducers” is currently hard at work making improvements to the base game’s main storyline. Withso many ways to playThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, Bethesda’s 2011 epic RPG has clearly stood the test of time. However, as the years have gone by, the cracks have started to appear. It’s still a gorgeous game with a lot to do and see, butSkyrimis beginning to show its age now, and it only seems natural that some would want to come along and improve the overall experience.
Of course, it’s likely thatSkyrimwouldn’t be anywhere without the modding community, which is fit to burst with individuals and teams that have the creative talent and dedication to really keep the 11-year-old game in the limelight. Mods are so common inTES5that some players barely experience the vanilla release, choosing instead to load their copy with all sorts of tweaks, graphical boosts, custom content, and other juicy additions that extend the already expansive world. Then there are those modifications that seek to retread what the official studio has done.

In a recent report on PCGamesN, a group of modders is working to offer a new interpretation of the main questline fromSkyrim. The Skyrim Extended Cut team is planning an overhaul of the “dragon-focused” aspect of the story to offer a fresh narrative, with the goal of making it seem like it was written in this modern era of gaming. The modders believe that, whileTES5is a great game, it could stand to see some improvements, especially when it comes to characters and the overall writing. It should be pointed out that the project won’t overhaul the expansive story, such as the ongoing civil war or the guilds. It will seemingly focus on the storyline directly involving the Dragonborn.
Many people who play the Anniversary Edition of the game will likely be familiar with this team’s work. They released theSaints and Seducersmod forSkyrim, which brought in some aspects fromThe Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion’sShivering IslesDLC. It’s become one of the most popular modifications for theTES5, so many will be excited to see what the Skyrim Extended Cut team has in store with this new overhaul.
WhileSkyrimis known for its huge storythat takes place in a cold slice of Tamriel, it must be said that the game was lacking in the writing department somewhat. What these modders are aiming to do is to give the story a renewed zeal, which will hopefully bring with it some extra depth and detail to the world.
The Elder Scrolls 5 Skyrim: Anniversary Editionis available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
