I refuse to play any rpg with a microtransaction store built into it. Bethesda showed us with their recent catalogue that the game is gonna be mid af anyway.
Agreed honestly, I don’t have high hopes for elder scrolls 6 it’s either that that kills it, or another star field. I’ve never played star field but I’ve done research watch reviews and it seems like they only focus on graphics and the impress factor not the true quest or story of it all.
I asked Bethesda support to define what they mean by the term "Plays." They have now responded to say the following: "Plays reflects the times players have started Skyrim with the creation installed." This means that if I start Skyrim 10 times it would add another 10 plays onto the total. It seems like quite a meaningless stat to track to me. It would be like Steam only telling us how many times somebody had launched Skyrim instead of the concurrent players or how many sales a game had, If the average person launches Skyrim twice a day it would lead to massively inflated stats. Unfortunately this means that theirs no possible way of publicly tracking how many people have brought/downloaded a Creation. For those of you who are in doubt, I think we can be certain we will see a similar system brought to Fallout 4, Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6 in the future. Weather you like it or not micro transactions make allot of income in games like GTA5, Diablo or FIFA do make allot of money. Bethesda being able to get their community to generate content for them to sell (with a small kickback to the mod creator) is a incredible business decision. For us as consumers it means we may get more quality content, but its going to cost you much more money to access it. I personally will continue to use my own money to review this content so you can make up your mind on skipping it or not.
Its not meaningless, the idea IMO is so folk infer that it is buys which makes the mod appear more popular than it really is. Pretty sneaky behaviour TBH. If you're swithering on whether or not to buy something, and you see 110k players next to the description, you're led to assume that it individuals. The stat has zero value outside of as means to manipulate and that is pretty unethical. Great work querying it and I'd 2nd pinning your comment so folk aren't mislead.
It is almost like Bethesda just keeps misleading people to get people to buy their stuff. Besides. I don't think good sales necessarily mark a "good game" or good DLC in this case since that is highly subjective and not even limited to just the game itself but also gets heavily influenced by marketing and the community.
One of the locations has some amazing environmental storytelling. You can find the remnants of a big battle between the Snow Elves and Falmer. Skeletons wearing armour killed over makeshift barricades. You can actually see where the Knight Paladins made their last stand.
I don’t think it looks bad but I have no interest in giving Bethesda money for mods. Not to mention the more content they add for this ancient game the more it messes with mods. Just make a new, good game bethesda, skyrim belongs to modders now.
That's valid, but it is worth considering that you're also saying you're not interested in giving money to the mod creators who make these mods (unless you find them and donate to them without getting the actual mod). Granted, the bulk of the money is apparently still going to Bethesda, which is a bad look imo, but there still are developers who are just trying to actually make money from their work through this. These aren't made by Bethesda, they're made by regular modders, and just sold through Bethesda.

2 things this video made me certain of: 1 - still not paying for mods. Just because I'm on PS4 doesn't mean I'm desperate. 2 - I still hate both spiders and Darkfall Cave as much as I used to.

1:12 Those are _concurrent_ numbers, as in how many people are logged in and playing at any given time. The "daily" number would be much higher than that.
On average it's slightly less than 20k if you take the average if the concurrent unique users per day. But you've also got gog, Bethesda native launcher, Xbox and ps5 that are not shown here.
That 30% is bullshit. I could see Bethesda TAKING 30% for use of its assets but to only give a freelance dev 30% for doing literally all the heavy lifting is bullshit.
it is still " you can find just as good, similiar or even better on nexus" and it is not that you shouldnt buy paid mods, it is that you should not buy less than smart mods. like the armor mods, that horse armor mod....
The mod doesn’t add a shortcut, Darkfall cave is the way to access the Forgotten vale in Dawnguard, the first chapel of peregrination is at the end, Gelebor gives you access to the Forgotten vale through the chapel, so they’re technically not connected. Still, you can go to the vale whenever you want, not only during the Dawnguard questline.
I bought the anniversary edition because it had everything. I don't regret it but I didnt realize they would then add more paid mods. They didn't add new paid mods for so long.
The "Unmarked Locations Pack" (including the Forgotten Vale) by GeraldMods is available on the nexus for free... Until they release a dlc sized "creation" with a questline, I remain sorely unimpressed.
Its going to be how many times its been launched while installed, not even played and the real number is going to be around 10x the rating as that is about on par with other mod sites reporting unique downloads and reviews (even with it being easier and more in your face on the workshop so that is the high side number)
a triple A company who realises a game once every decade. my take is they should have made another DLC by now which would have been great for them and for the players, we would finally get more actual cannon content and voice acted content instead of reading a note every 5 minutes. would happily pay £30 or so if they did a big DLC.

I just got my Skyrim working after months of fiddling around with mods and everything else. After their last update, it seems like they do this on purpose.
I would 100% buy these if they added like 2-3 achievements per creation(if it’s big enough) an achievement for fully decking out a house. And enabling the achievements on “modded” play through a
They are working on a solution to allow Verified Creators to enable achievements for their creations. However, new achievements would require an actual update to the game itself by Bethesd, which will once again break the game for a lot of heavy mod users because many mods would then require updating to work with the latest updated version of the game. The less that has to happen, the better.
@@brandonmunsen2790 Skyrim is definitely a game that appeals to completionists, but a lot of people never unlocked all the achievements because they played the game with mods or across the old versions SSE.
Yeah I might consider spending a little bit on these, but I don't think I would buy anything substantial unless they did a big sale like anniversary edition a few years down the line.
I buy the creation club content, I play vanilla Skyrim and like that they don't disable achievements. Also lore friendly and adds to the core game is something I enjoy.
I stopped playing when they turned the Mods tabs into the creations tab on Xbox a couple months back. Can someone tell me did they end up reversing this change? I HATED it. Made it so hard to find mods.
As a ps5 player, I will take what I can get. I have about 1000 hours on Skyrim Vanilla Survival Legendary as a cured vampire lord with dual katanas while I gave Serana Harkons sword and Goldbrand so Everything feels very immersive and done the VANILLA way.
I gave up the PS5 version. Actor fade distance is almost right in front of me on it with no option to adjust it like the PC version. Not to mention having started with the PS4 edition, paid for the anniversary edition, to get the free upgrade to PS5 and find out I have to BUY the anniversary edition "again" for the PS5 version as it doesn't get included with the upgrade. PC version for me.
@@thomasaitken7495 Pc will always be superior no doubt. But I’m pretty comfortable with my ps5. I like to walk around and visit each towns tavern to just sit down and read my IRL books :p . With the occasional scenery pictures.
@@deadline3142 I just feel cheated by it, and Bethesda. Especially since I never had the problem on PS4. I know Bethesda is sticking it to Sony, especially with the next edition of the Elder Scrolls, and Starfield being exclusive's. But by that extension they are sticking it to fans as well. I aint gonna lie, I am sore for it.
I keep hearing people wishing that new armor models be added to these things. This may be problematic if the Verified Creator wants the mod to be available for PC, Xbox and PS. We know that PS mods are not allowed to include some elements that PX and XBox mods can have. Therefore, by working only with assets that are common to all platforms, the issue is rendered moot. What would work is if the game were to receive another update including a wide variety of new skins for weapons, armor and a variety of other items. This way, future creations can include new gear-based appearance options, beyond the scope of the base assets. However, we all know what happens every time the game itself receives updates. Do we want mods to break yet again and need yet another update pass just for the sake of new cosmetic assets that work on all platforms (actually just the one platform that refuses to get with the times and allow what their competition allows)? The less Bethesda has to break modding to support modding, the better. Frankly for TES6 and Starfield, I'm hoping that the skins for all items include color regions based on "material 1, material 2 etc" type designations. Want a variant of armor that has black leather, gold plating and red cloth, then adjust the RGB values for those materials. For items with Gemstones in them, a color region for the gemstones would be logical. Let each regon be able to take RGB values.
When I watched this video and then read the comments seeing how that even though you have to pay for it you don't get achievements. They should just make the forgotten Vale creation level locked level 20 and above. Then you would already have most of the achievements by the time you actually would reach it
Ummm anyone know what they did on the switch, it got a large update and all i was able to find was info about bug fixs in dec? Couple nights ago was a large update i think 8 gb
Paid mods will be the death of modding. What makes Skyrim endlessly replayable is that you can run 100 to 200 mods and explore what the community has created. These are labors of love. The moment they become enterprises is the moment we see a hellscape of trash mods designed to make the modder money develop. There's already a system in place to pay modders for their work via tips. This is just a way for Microsoft and Bethesda to take a cut of it.
The presence of ‘Paid Mods’ has destroyed any faint glimmer of hope that Elder Scrolls 6 will be good for me. After all these years and the disaster that is Starfield, I’ll probably just not buy it, assuming it even ever comes out at all at this point (it’s been 13 years)
I would actually consider buying these if I could actually buy them and not shitty currency. Its an anti-consumer business practice designed to obfuscate the price and have people buy more useless currency than they need.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DONT BUY IT !!! i mean do what you want but just know that if as consumers we accept this it will creep itself into more of their games and then spread to other studios like the horse armour in oblivion so PLEASE consider if its realy worth encouraging anti consumer practice
This would be a lot more fun to watch if you used immersive graphical mods. I had quite a realistic environment when I modded Skyrim SE in 2019 with mods advertised on youtube.
We can support them and I personally supported lot of them on Nexus.. It's not about the creators but about the strategy Bethesda is taking, it was acceptable at first but now the shit is getting ugly really.
The empire merchant one is AMAZING really well crafted it also goes well with the Legacy museum. I loved that one. The dwemer dungeons are tough. The thief companion is the worst companion I ever had so that is a waste. The others are quality as are elianora houses (but depends if you love houses like I do) I didnt buy the thalmor clothes as I dont rp Altmer.
@@mara_jade021 I could see how the East Empire one would be helpful in certain types of play throughs. I believe the Dwemer Dungeon one was made by the same guy who made the Dwemer Season one in Anniversary, and I frankly hated that one. I would never pay for a house mod no matter how good it is. Thanks for the reviews though, its good to see some different perspective.
@@jimbobbyhutchinson313 I rp. And my imperial diplomat felt in disgrace and it is used the Empire merchants as a way to gather influence and money back to return to be a noble. The mod and all features are really worth the price. The dungeons yeah same guy. Difficult is bonkers. But I want it to use when I will focus on a Dwarven specialist rp. Houses I just love have them to use one or two thematic in each playthrough, but mostly to support Elianora.
I could be mistaken but this looks like the dlc from the newest version of skyrim that you can upgrade too which to me was definitely worth it. The special edition or whatever it was called to me was worth 10 dollars to upgrade for extra content.
I really think Bethesda totally screwed the pooch with The Forgotten Vale, for such a large world space it could have been its own DLC. Incorporating it into Dawnguard seemed completely out of place in regards to the Vampire questline. I think if it was deployed as a means to further illustrate the fall of the Snow Elves as a race, would have been a much more interesting and immersive adventure. How many people do you know that keep returning there after the Dawnguard questline is finished? Me personally, I only went back there once after the Dawnguard was completed, and only because I figured out what the Paragons were for and how to use them, because of UA-camr videos on those items. As far as having to go back there for enchanting or alchemical ingredient needs, there's no purpose to, which was another missed opportunity from Bethesda. Oh cool, Vale Deer and Vale Sabrecats with unique skins, but oh, they only give you plain leather that you can farm from every other shinned animal, there were no uniquely different uses for them in looks or utility. A vast landscape with nothing you can't find in the base game other than Frost Giants, wow... as I said, what a missed opportunity. It's nice to see mod authors utilizing the Ayleid construction kit they added, but too little, too late.
I can happily play this area of the DLC just fine without paying more money for it I mean, mods could be fun but the base game is better considering you already paid enough money for all DLC content and the game is just as good, you won't get anything better as a reward for achieving anything
Tbh the bigger problem is that they updated the game destroying literally thousands of mods this may be a good paid mod but it doesn't offset the damage its done some mods are just unusable unless you jump through hoops and hurdles because the authors might never return to update them
You should wear your gray cowl of nocturnal it's wonderful in identifying the whereabouts of enemies because their flashing red. It looks like this mod has no goals just exploration that's why there's no markers. I don't like when there's no quest. Question can you even clear the caves? Are there any quest with markers?
@@leviathan903 I am not talking about mods that add things from other franchises, but ones that I personally think would blend in with the lore of Elder Scrolls quite nicely. Point in case, the Legacy of the Dragonborn Museum Mod, and the Rigmor Series.
@@xprt4hire551 neither of these mods are neither purchasable nor official mods, you get these mods free from nexus. and also very much not canon whatsoever, you are thinking of the term lore friendly. canon means actual events that take place in the story line. if you didnt know bethesda recently added "official mods" by non bethesda studio creators that require credits to buy just like how creation club was on special edition. the mod in this video being one, theres a few others like a dwemer gun mod (arquebus) and east empire expansion theres only like 10 or so atm on the list.
@@xprt4hire551 official mods are completely out of the question of being actually canon since they arent made by bethesda, but can be lore friendly, there hasnt been any story based mods yet anyway so there is nothing to base it from, as for lore friendliness, its too early to say as a general rule since its a new feature and we dont know the limits of what they will accept, so far its not bad, dwemer guns were a bit controvercial because its actualy gun powder fueled cannons, but theres evidence of the dwemer using gun powder in es4:morrowind for a trap, howver guns themselves is questionable. on the other hand, Creation club (cc) content, that came all free with anniversary edition, are much more controversial because they are actually made by bethesda studio, at first people considered it cannon, however they ended up released cc content such as the Umbra sword which is supposed to have ran its story to the end and is completely destroyed one of the best stories of eso lore btw i recommend, also sunder and wrathguard being in skyrim in the time line wouldnt make sense keening was transported to skyrim, that is cannon from the base game. basically most cc releases arent considered cannon

Why do I feel like I saw the dungeon with the river and waterfall with spiders like 8 years ago
It’s DLC (dawnguard content)
I would 100% buy these if they added like 2-3 achievements per creation(if it’s big enough) an achievement for fully decking out a house. And enabling the achievements on “modded” play through a
They are working on a solution to allow Verified Creators to enable achievements for their creations. However, new achievements would require an actual update to the game itself by Bethesd, which will once again break the game for a lot of heavy mod users because many mods would then require updating to work with the latest updated version of the game.
The less that has to happen, the better.
@@alexwalters35 They need validation pumped into their veins
@@alexwalters35ikr I don’t get it
Why the hell do achievements matter so much? I’ve never understood this.
@@brandonmunsen2790
Skyrim is definitely a game that appeals to completionists, but a lot of people never unlocked all the achievements because they played the game with mods or across the old versions SSE.
If you get the full game in the PS4 plus pro it includes this and more mods including dawnstar and dragon born dlc
4:09 You absolute savage... 🤣🤣
I didn’t mind paying for the anniversary edition because £12 for all that content was way too good not to get. But this isn’t really in that category.
Yeah I might consider spending a little bit on these, but I don't think I would buy anything substantial unless they did a big sale like anniversary edition a few years down the line.
Skyrim > Starfield
Based
The 12th Anniversary Edition 🎉
I buy the creation club content, I play vanilla Skyrim and like that they don't disable achievements. Also lore friendly and adds to the core game is something I enjoy.
Eight dollars? Man where are we gonna get that kind of money?
I love just watching you play skyrim
I stopped playing when they turned the Mods tabs into the creations tab on Xbox a couple months back. Can someone tell me did they end up reversing this change? I HATED it. Made it so hard to find mods.
I do pay for mods. I want to support the mod devs and Bethesda for continuing to maintain the system.
Very cool. Does it cut off your achievements?
Yes.
What do u all mean by cut off achievements
U mean while this mod is active you can't do achievements
@@onizukasensei5321 yes
why does the mod creator only get 30%? thats stupid.
If you go down from the bridge and back on, they will shatter if you don't know it.
Been watching you for tears eso love the channel man
He brings me to tears too
Oos meant years
All of this Creation Club content is what brought me to tears. 😂
As a ps5 player, I will take what I can get. I have about 1000 hours on Skyrim Vanilla Survival Legendary as a cured vampire lord with dual katanas while I gave Serana Harkons sword and Goldbrand so Everything feels very immersive and done the VANILLA way.
I gave up the PS5 version. Actor fade distance is almost right in front of me on it with no option to adjust it like the PC version. Not to mention having started with the PS4 edition, paid for the anniversary edition, to get the free upgrade to PS5 and find out I have to BUY the anniversary edition "again" for the PS5 version as it doesn't get included with the upgrade. PC version for me.
@@thomasaitken7495 Pc will always be superior no doubt. But I’m pretty comfortable with my ps5. I like to walk around and visit each towns tavern to just sit down and read my IRL books :p . With the occasional scenery pictures.
@@deadline3142 I just feel cheated by it, and Bethesda. Especially since I never had the problem on PS4. I know Bethesda is sticking it to Sony, especially with the next edition of the Elder Scrolls, and Starfield being exclusive's. But by that extension they are sticking it to fans as well. I aint gonna lie, I am sore for it.
@@thomasaitken7495
There was some news recently hinting that Starfield might be getting ported to playstation so it's possible tes 6 will too.
@@RealUlrichLeland That would be nice. Might soothe some hurt fans. But its to me a believe it when seen.
making an Oblivion mod guide would be pretty dope @ESO
I keep hearing people wishing that new armor models be added to these things. This may be problematic if the Verified Creator wants the mod to be available for PC, Xbox and PS. We know that PS mods are not allowed to include some elements that PX and XBox mods can have. Therefore, by working only with assets that are common to all platforms, the issue is rendered moot.
What would work is if the game were to receive another update including a wide variety of new skins for weapons, armor and a variety of other items. This way, future creations can include new gear-based appearance options, beyond the scope of the base assets.
However, we all know what happens every time the game itself receives updates. Do we want mods to break yet again and need yet another update pass just for the sake of new cosmetic assets that work on all platforms (actually just the one platform that refuses to get with the times and allow what their competition allows)? The less Bethesda has to break modding to support modding, the better.
Frankly for TES6 and Starfield, I'm hoping that the skins for all items include color regions based on "material 1, material 2 etc" type designations. Want a variant of armor that has black leather, gold plating and red cloth, then adjust the RGB values for those materials. For items with Gemstones in them, a color region for the gemstones would be logical. Let each regon be able to take RGB values.
I stopped playing Skyrim as soon as they introduced pay to play. It’s sat in my Steam tray waiting to be updated…..and that’s where it’s staying.
When I watched this video and then read the comments seeing how that even though you have to pay for it you don't get achievements. They should just make the forgotten Vale creation level locked level 20 and above. Then you would already have most of the achievements by the time you actually would reach it
12,000 players, this mod on Playstation, are all paid mods because Sony doesn't allow external mods
Ummm anyone know what they did on the switch, it got a large update and all i was able to find was info about bug fixs in dec? Couple nights ago was a large update i think 8 gb
Paid mods will be the death of modding. What makes Skyrim endlessly replayable is that you can run 100 to 200 mods and explore what the community has created. These are labors of love. The moment they become enterprises is the moment we see a hellscape of trash mods designed to make the modder money develop. There's already a system in place to pay modders for their work via tips. This is just a way for Microsoft and Bethesda to take a cut of it.
The presence of ‘Paid Mods’ has destroyed any faint glimmer of hope that Elder Scrolls 6 will be good for me. After all these years and the disaster that is Starfield, I’ll probably just not buy it, assuming it even ever comes out at all at this point (it’s been 13 years)
Echoes of the vail is really good. But these are all included in the anniversary edition without buying the dlc.
I have anniversary, I didn’t get it
I would actually consider buying these if I could actually buy them and not shitty currency. Its an anti-consumer business practice designed to obfuscate the price and have people buy more useless currency than they need.
About to go to bed and hoping someone can answer, how many hours of game play does this add? It’s it a full add on with quests and story?
If it's a paid mod, it doesn't count.
Us switch players have been scewed over with this game so much like skyrim cant get any mods but path of titans can get like 80
Hi ESO I love ur videos they are great
I just subscribed because your voice is mesmerizing, and I love your game play.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DONT BUY IT !!! i mean do what you want but just know that if as consumers we accept this it will creep itself into more of their games and then spread to other studios like the horse armour in oblivion so PLEASE consider if its realy worth encouraging anti consumer practice
This would be a lot more fun to watch if you used immersive graphical mods. I had quite a realistic environment when I modded Skyrim SE in 2019 with mods advertised on youtube.
This just changed my career.
Just support mod authors independently. Greedy cash grab
We can support them and I personally supported lot of them on Nexus.. It's not about the creators but about the strategy Bethesda is taking, it was acceptable at first but now the shit is getting ugly really.
@@Krosulhah Horse armour really set Bethesda down a fair path
Totally agree
As much as I like skyrim I really don't like being in the hidden veil or blackreach. Just a maze
So they didn't add 23 new locations then did they!
I have to fix my address library error, but can't wait to play Skyrim again.
As a player with well over 10k hours in Skyrim if a creation looked good Id buy it. So far none of them have peeked my interest in the slightest.
The empire merchant one is AMAZING really well crafted it also goes well with the Legacy museum. I loved that one. The dwemer dungeons are tough. The thief companion is the worst companion I ever had so that is a waste. The others are quality as are elianora houses (but depends if you love houses like I do)
I didnt buy the thalmor clothes as I dont rp Altmer.
@@mara_jade021 I could see how the East Empire one would be helpful in certain types of play throughs. I believe the Dwemer Dungeon one was made by the same guy who made the Dwemer Season one in Anniversary, and I frankly hated that one. I would never pay for a house mod no matter how good it is. Thanks for the reviews though, its good to see some different perspective.
@@jimbobbyhutchinson313 I rp. And my imperial diplomat felt in disgrace and it is used the Empire merchants as a way to gather influence and money back to return to be a noble. The mod and all features are really worth the price.
The dungeons yeah same guy. Difficult is bonkers. But I want it to use when I will focus on a Dwarven specialist rp.
Houses I just love have them to use one or two thematic in each playthrough, but mostly to support Elianora.
@@mara_jade021 I can appreciate wanting to support Elianora, she deserves it.
Can't wait to pay 100$ for ES6 and then another $20 a month for the next dungeon release. Also the $5 every time you go through a load screen
If only I could play Skyrim on ps5 without it crashing every 40 seconds
I could be mistaken but this looks like the dlc from the newest version of skyrim that you can upgrade too which to me was definitely worth it. The special edition or whatever it was called to me was worth 10 dollars to upgrade for extra content.
You are indeed mistaken
@@matthewmalagari2465lmfao
I really think Bethesda totally screwed the pooch with The Forgotten Vale, for such a large world space it could have been its own DLC. Incorporating it into Dawnguard seemed completely out of place in regards to the Vampire questline. I think if it was deployed as a means to further illustrate the fall of the Snow Elves as a race, would have been a much more interesting and immersive adventure. How many people do you know that keep returning there after the Dawnguard questline is finished? Me personally, I only went back there once after the Dawnguard was completed, and only because I figured out what the Paragons were for and how to use them, because of UA-camr videos on those items. As far as having to go back there for enchanting or alchemical ingredient needs, there's no purpose to, which was another missed opportunity from Bethesda. Oh cool, Vale Deer and Vale Sabrecats with unique skins, but oh, they only give you plain leather that you can farm from every other shinned animal, there were no uniquely different uses for them in looks or utility. A vast landscape with nothing you can't find in the base game other than Frost Giants, wow... as I said, what a missed opportunity. It's nice to see mod authors utilizing the Ayleid construction kit they added, but too little, too late.
I can happily play this area of the DLC just fine without paying more money for it I mean, mods could be fun but the base game is better considering you already paid enough money for all DLC content and the game is just as good, you won't get anything better as a reward for achieving anything
ESO, how would I contact a mod creator if I really like their work, in order to ask them for assistance with creating a mod?
It's nice that echos of the forgotten vale adds more to the vale but why make it a purchasable mod that disables the achievements/trophies
VAT is a UK thing. We don’t have that in the States dude.
Is Echoes of The Vale a Mod or can you download it to regular play?
Tbh the bigger problem is that they updated the game destroying literally thousands of mods this may be a good paid mod but it doesn't offset the damage its done some mods are just unusable unless you jump through hoops and hurdles because the authors might never return to update them
1. Pirate an older quacked version of the game.
2. Mod it.
3. Enjoy your modded Skyrim that will never update again.
What they need to do is drop his concert for Skyrim, VR
How do the Falmer have a boat when they’re blind
I never spent a single penny on a single mod in any Bethsda's Store.
thank god i 100% skyrim so i don’t have to worry about achievements
You should wear your gray cowl of nocturnal it's wonderful in identifying the whereabouts of enemies because their flashing red. It looks like this mod has no goals just exploration that's why there's no markers. I don't like when there's no quest. Question can you even clear the caves? Are there any quest with markers?
People complaining about paid mods, but not the Toaster Edition..
0:39 I get the Paid Creations. Mainly because I consider the Paid Creations to be canon, to a degree.
you crazy if you think the official mods are cannon, let alone the creation club. theres literally a robot from portal in the official mods list
@@leviathan903 I am not talking about mods that add things from other franchises, but ones that I personally think would blend in with the lore of Elder Scrolls quite nicely. Point in case, the Legacy of the Dragonborn Museum Mod, and the Rigmor Series.
@@xprt4hire551 neither of these mods are neither purchasable nor official mods, you get these mods free from nexus. and also very much not canon whatsoever, you are thinking of the term lore friendly. canon means actual events that take place in the story line.
if you didnt know bethesda recently added "official mods" by non bethesda studio creators that require credits to buy just like how creation club was on special edition. the mod in this video being one, theres a few others like a dwemer gun mod (arquebus) and east empire expansion theres only like 10 or so atm on the list.
@@leviathan903 Fair enough on your first point. And the Lore Friendly Point. But, I still consider the Paid Creations to be Canon to a certain degree.
@@xprt4hire551 official mods are completely out of the question of being actually canon since they arent made by bethesda, but can be lore friendly, there hasnt been any story based mods yet anyway so there is nothing to base it from, as for lore friendliness, its too early to say as a general rule since its a new feature and we dont know the limits of what they will accept, so far its not bad, dwemer guns were a bit controvercial because its actualy gun powder fueled cannons, but theres evidence of the dwemer using gun powder in es4:morrowind for a trap, howver guns themselves is questionable. on the other hand, Creation club (cc) content, that came all free with anniversary edition, are much more controversial because they are actually made by bethesda studio, at first people considered it cannon, however they ended up released cc content such as the Umbra sword which is supposed to have ran its story to the end and is completely destroyed one of the best stories of eso lore btw i recommend, also sunder and wrathguard being in skyrim in the time line wouldnt make sense keening was transported to skyrim, that is cannon from the base game. basically most cc releases arent considered cannon
everytime i watch your videos i HAVE to play skyrim
People: paid mod bad
Also people: wow tennogen so cool
The whiterun tablecloth doesn’t make any sense.
The only way it would is seeing it as an Elven design the Ancient Nords appropriated- which wouldn’t be impossible.
