The amount of work that goes into a volunteer modding project like this is insane, not only are they recreating the entirety of Cyrodiil within Skyrim's timeline, but they're also adding an entire previously cut city. Massive props to the entire team for their efforts, and I cannot wait to get lost in Tamriel again when this is out.
yeah. 3D modelling, writing quests, writing lore, landscape designing, quest implementation in Creation Kit, Testing, Fixing. This is a 10 year project for sure. Not easy. Everything is done part time. Labor of love.
Seeing stuff i built maybe 6 years ago being loved and retouched over the years. I was the one who did the first initial version of sutch. All amazing work.
Using text-to-speech for the voices actually seems like a really convenient placeholder and I imagine a lot of game studios will go that route in the future
@@JT-hg7mj They could hire, say 20 or so voice actors to just read out some existing lines from Skyrim, then input that to ElevenLabs and let it create custom voice lines of the voice actors for the mod if they are unable to record all the hundreds or thousands of voice lines needed.
@@Jiub_SN I don't watch them because it's made with AI voice. I don't enjoy the idea of stealing someone's voice for your own gain. So, yeah... Especially cause you can get them to say anything you want, it could lead to some messed up controversies in the future.
Every time I see a Beyond Skyrim showcase, it just looks more incredible. Well done to the Cryodiil team so far. Also, re: the AI- this is understandable to use as a placeholder; I think that's totally fair.
They really get the feel of Sutch being the equivalent of a military base correct. From there being mostly members of the Imperial Legion there and their families as well as the new guys in an elite unit being heavily trained and sometimes having to do "initiations" and even voicing concerns of less ideal practices to the higher ups is very realistic and immersive. "Sutch" good writing here...
IIRC Sutch was scrapped because they had a limit of how many major cities they could support and they replaced it with Chorrol. Which makes sense because Sutch is already in the vicinity of Kvatch and Anvil.
Your design of the Gold Coast is so beautiful! I'm from Northern Catalonia, on what is known as the Vermillion Coast/Lion Gulf, and it looks a lot like it! I love what you've done with the Mediterranean vibe!
Lil too cringe on the puns but yeah he's way more entertaining than the other showcases. Its nice to see devs talk about the mod but it can drag on. The previous showcases the two hour ones should have been edited
Amazing progress!!! While it’s only a placeholder, the AI text to voice honestly doesn’t sound terrible. Seems like a great tool to help bring immersion to the game during testing
problem is that the AI does the same entonation, it basically reads the text but doesnt change the tone to convey things like anger or sadness, its just plain text to speech.
Love the idea of a rebuilt Sutch becoming an Imperial strongpoint on the border. Such (hehe) a welcome change from the run-down state of the Legion in Skyrim. Love the use of the Anvil (Gold-Goast) architecture. One question though, I'm not sure about the walls of the fort - there are some strange leftovers of a wooden palisade(?) sticking out halfway up the walls. They look weird and impractical from the military engineering point of view I think..
This is gorgeous. I'm glad to see Amatus, Cylandis, Thamis, Pretus and the others doing well for themselves (aside from the placeholder voices), and the Sutch puns living on. The sun-soaked Gold Coast region really looks good, in line with Skyrim's design but different.
I wonder if there's an option, or will be one, to pull rank on soldier bully as a Legate if you've completed the civil war for the empire. "That's Legate (character name) to you![Intimidate]"
What a shocker. New location is what I personally wasn’t ready to see. Hope to see more updates in future. Unfortunately, I personally can not provide any help for the project in near future, so I will pray for you 😅
remember remember, people always thing cut backs are "money reasons"... but remember the era. things were often cut down for SIZE. no infinite download back then. you had to fit the data on a disc.
The Elder Scrolls is the best D&D/fantasy universe ever created. I never heard of Sutch until this video, what a perfect tease at the depth you guys are going for.
@@RuSosan It's seriously not about being a "hipster". It's about recognizing that there's a whole _world_ of awesome games out there but WotC gets to be evil, lazy and make fairly shitty games because people literally refuse to touch anything else.
@@colbyboucher6391 I only brought up D&D because of the recent success of Baldurs Gate 3 which is a video game, and the D&D universe was chronologically first before Elder Scrolls so it gets the name. Of course, when video games were invented, table top games became outdated and died off completely, and are thusly considered lame and retarded like your comment.

digging the vibes you brought in this video. Kudos to yourself and everyone at beyond skyrim for the dedication to bringing the expanded world of tamriel "forward" to life haha
You guys did "sutch" a good job on this, and I'm so glad u guys decided to bring back sutch to its full glory. Really get that roman Stronghold feeling. Kind of reminds me of that fortified town that spartacus captures,so great job. I'm excited to see the projects release, I have a question for the cyrodiil team: Will there be something in the mod be a full story or a couple of quests or even interactions about the emperors death and are their any plans or progress on the other imperial town cut from oblivion on the island of stirk ?
Yes, the full Cyrodiil release has all the guild and main questline content you would expect, including mages guilds, fighters guild, a political struggle, and a more metaphysical threat! We also have Stirk in game already as well level design wise.
I hope that being a legate in the imperial military in-game will affect all kinds of choices in Cyrodiil, it'd be so cool to be able to flex rank here and there, especially here in Sutch
What bothered me most in this video was not the AI voice acting, but the fact that neither the city/fort entrance nor the entrance to the upper level had a gate, although it is supposed to be a fort-like settlement.
@@ksaurus3525 After release someone might make a patch to close them off, I think there was one for Bruma but I might be wrong. Could be too difficult.
What I love in the feel of this mod, is there are places which are just flat. In Skyrim wherever you turned you expected to see some rise in the landscape. Whereas here, it isn't like that. Certain places are just flat for quite long distances. It kinda adds to the change of the scenery. Also the clusters of trees, if you could call them that, are too far apart to feel forested. But merely trees in open landscapes. It has a desert feel about it. I don't know, it creates a quite different feel altogether. But certainly excellent
I opened the video expecting a showcase of upcoming content accompanied by informative commentary. Instead I got a showcase of upcoming content accompanied by informative commentary and an ungodly amount of puns. Oh well, such is life.
Starfield looks promising. I've heard that the beyond skyrim team isnt really dedicated and it most certainly wont be finished. Most likely, the only major beyond skyrim project (not atmora and roscrea) that will release is cyrodiil
@@TheHat--Man okay, you might know better than I. Nevertheless, it is an achievement. I hope the mod team tries out new things and not too much of the same. As they are uncommercial they can take more risks and innovations
Sutch a amazing video... i still can't get over cities being so small after modding skyrim for 12 years now and having every city with outskirts. But from the development IN the universe where Sutch just was the tower ruin we knew from Oblivion this size makes absolute sense. The once old ruins got repurposed and build up against as a small imperial castle which grew to become a minor city over the span of the 200 years. Seeing how long the construction of one castle could take in real life it is a fitting size... and surely you do not realy NEED a big city there since Anvil and Kvatch are nearby. But a castle to guard the border into Hammerfell`? Sure...
Obviously the AI is a placeholder but you know what? even the AI got it pretty right on, I didn't realise there was AI vw until it was pointed out in another showcase, ignoring the "sigh" and slight roboticness im happy you guys used it even as a placeholder, gives the showcase better feels.. will admit i dont mind AI for background actors who dont say much/just exist (someone in a prison, a person in a cage, shit like that)
I hope there is some extra dialogue for legion players, even this far from Skyrim I feel like word of a demi-god in the imperial ranks should carry some sway.
