A Skyrim modder is taking a leaf out of another fantasy game’s book by add🎐ing the Nemesis ꦜsystem from Shadow of Mordor to the Bethesda RPG. 

Originally spotted by , Reddit user and modder shared their plans for the upcoming gameplay mod to the Skyrim🍌Mods subreddit and revealed what the modification will actually do when it eventually releases on , hopefully sometime next month. 

If you weren’t aware, the Nemesis system originally comes from Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor developer Monolith and its sequel Middle-earth: Shadow of War. The system meant that enemies could grow stronger based on how they interact with the player and also remember them later on in the game. It’s thought that the system remains unique to the 2014 action-adventure game due to it being 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:patented by Warner Brothers back in 2015.

As for Syclonix’s mod, 🍷a full list of what it can do has been uploaded to the subreddit linked above, however here are just some of its highlights. 

Officially named the "Shadow of Skyrim: Nemesis and A𓆉lternative Death System", or 'SOS - NADS' for short by its creator, the mod will "tu⛦rn any enemy that defeats you into a Nemesis with a unique name, increased stats, and special buff", "give the player a situational or random debuff upon defeat", "allow your Nemesis to take your gear and use it", and much more. 

This is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of Skyrim mods, we’ve seen a number of impressive creations over the years including the Skyrim mod that completely overhauls the religion system, one that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:lets you pet the dog, and one that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:stops you from playing Skyrim all together - that was sadly removed from Nexus ✅mods last summer.

After studying Film Studies ꧃and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training.  My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The La🌼st of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
