Bethesda is marking 15 years of Skyrim with a bundle of five community-made Creations. It is on Xbox, PC and PlayStation, and it leaves the Creation Menu on 12 December.
If you have been looking for a reason to go back to Skyrim, Bethesda has put one together. Its anniversary post says the Skyrim Anniversary Bundle “gathers five Creations from our Verified Creators”, and every one of them is available on Xbox, PC and PlayStation. You have until 12 December to grab it, when it leaves the Creation Menu.
Here is what is in it. Legacy of Orsinium by Veelpot is a professionally voiced faction storyline with multiple endings, with side quests for three Orc strongholds and mines inspired by The Elder Scrolls Online: Orsinium. Kaitryn Fair-Shadows by anbeegod adds a voiced companion, a lorekeeper of the Reach. The post says she reacts to the main quest, every guild questline and Daedric quest, and can be romanced and married.
Legendary Dungeons: Dwarven Delves by Trainwiz brings two dungeons from The Elder Scrolls Online, Stone Garden and Frostvault. You find Stone Garden inside Pinemoon Cave, and Frostvault through a fork in Uttering Hills Cave. Arquebus by Shoeburglar ends with a hand cannon powered by the Archery skill tree. Shadetree Lodge by TheRealElianora is a home just outside Riften, with crafting stations, a private fishing spot and a hidden display room.
Want more than five? The post lists three more bundles from Verified Creators. They are the Ancient Treasures Bundle by RoastGorilla, the Echoes of Adventure Bundle by EasierRider and the Kinggath Creations Bundle. All of them are in the Creations Menu through 12 December too.
The post does not give a price for any of the bundles, so check the Creation Menu on your platform before you buy. If you don’t own the base game on PC, Skyrim Special Edition was A$10.99 on the Australian Steam store when we checked, down 80% from A$54.95.
Bethesda has also put up a page of memories from 40 years of Bethesda Game Studios. It is told through the lens of the developers. And if you want to know where the series goes next, we covered the reveal of The Elder Scrolls VI’s full name last week.
