AnewSkyrimmod introduces multiplayer interactions to the game through anElden Ring-style messaging system.
Fans have been craftingThe Elder Scrolls V:Skyrimmods since the game launched, building upon the game’s open-world and varied play styles to create new ways to explore the lands of Skyrim. Whether it’sbringing in new armor setsorimproving player abilities, mods have kept theSkyrimcommunity alive.
While officialSkyrimcontent has largely remained solo adventures, players have created a number of mods to create a multiplayer experience. Groups can band together on local or browser servers, or even participate in combat arenas. Now, a new mod expands upon the fan-created multiplayerSkyrimexperience, introducing a FromSoftware-esque way of communicating.
SKYRIMMOD INTRODUCESELDEN RINGPLAYER MESSAGING SYSTEM
Recently, Modder TommInfinite (with the assistance of others) published theSkyrimmod “Building Bridges"onto mod aggregator site Nexus Mods. Looking to add a kind of asynchronous multiplayer element to the game, TommInfinite took inspiration fromElden Ringto establish a new way forSkyrimplayers to communicate.
The “Building Bridges” plug-in allows players to leave messages for one another in-world, usually in the form of a fallen piece of parchment. Similar toDark SoulsorElden Ring, players can write messages and anchor them to specific locations, pointing other players to hidden treasure - or, more likely, hidden traps. Check out their video on the mod below:
Though, unlikeElden Ring, thisSkyrimmod utilizes a Free Text feature; players aren’t limited to any specific set list of words. Messages also come with a unique Rating System that ultimately dictates the number of messages a player can leave. The higher the rating your current messages get, the quicker you will level up, thus leading to greater freedom when it comes to placing future messages.
It’s important to note that the “Building Bridges” mod also has an active community of moderators to help manage the messages. This way, players can ensure they have a responsive support system should any issues arise.
To install the mod, head on over to the"Building Bridges” Nexus Mods pagefor full instructions! Then, you’re able to try it out onThe Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, available to play on PC, Switch, PS3, PS4, PS5, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. IfElden Ringis more your style, it’s out on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
