Skyrim Basically Just Got a New DLC… For a BIG Price – Skyrim Creation Club Releases

Skyrim has had it’s Creation Club in service for over two years now. Since The Elder Scrolls 5’s microtransaction marketplace first launched, it’s been loathed by fans as a “Paid Mod System” and has been one of Bethesda Game Studios’ least popular endeavors, ever. However over the past few months, Skyrim’s developers have been making a clear effort to improve on the quality of content offered by the Creation Club and their most recent volley of releases (five in total) clearly reflect a desire for bigger, more expansive “mini-dlcs” to come. Today we’ll be breaking down each of these new mods and assessing whether Skyrim’s Creation Club may yet still have hope.

Some additional notes, because I literally couldn't fit everything I wanted to say into this video -

- Overall, the content itself is good. There's a sense the people who actually designed these expansions really put their hearts into it and the larger ones are riddled with neat details. My issues lie primarily with whoever it is that's setting the price tags, (as we'll see) they can get pretty excessive.


- At around 10:00 there's a floating pillar that can be seen coming from the structure, that's actually a result of my terrain mods and happens pretty frequently with vanilla structures.


 - Also; The Shivering Isle's Inspired quest also introduces more "bottled torch bugs", evidently. For those unaware, Skyrim contains a small number of various bottled torch bugs, each with strange runes on their back. No one ever really figured out what they meant and it was eventually revealed to have been a part of a scrapped mysterious narrative Bethesda never finished. Well, now it seems Bethesda is finally getting around to fleshing out that plot line.

"Jyggalagag." Everyone's favourite Daeaedricc prince!

"In Skyrim there's no mention of the Gray Fox."
There's a Thieves Guild quest in Skyrim to steal a bust of the Gray Fox.

also "its not necessarily tiny but its far from large"
i think i found my new pickup line

[kingjamization]

Actually there is a couple of mentions of the Gray Fox. A dark elf eho joins the Guild will say the player is no Gray Fox and in Mercer Freys house he has a bust of him

"Recent increase in bandit activities" in a land where you can't walk 5 steps out of a settlement without 2 d4 bandits with deathwish impaling themselves on your blade.

Theres literally a free mod "The Scarlett" that adds a ship player home. It's also better imo, as you can actually sail the ship to various locations

400 Todd Dollars. Literally choked on coffee right there.

“I think I pronounced that right”. Don’t worry. You didn’t.

In survival mode, having many homes is super useful. The great distances of Skyrim, combined with its dangers making going across the map a serious endeavor that will cost considerable resources. Having homes to stop and restock/rest with is super nice.

"I'm glad the goblins aren't just retextured rieklings"

Are just remodeled rieklings

[ChozoSR]

Crap; I must have missed a hidden boss in Shivering Isles....I beat Jyggalag, but now I gotta go back and defeat Jyggalagag...

[swinglow]

Jyggalag's sword is supposed to be bland, his character is all business and no frills

[johncoughlan]

"I didn't feel completely ripped off" is now the communities measure of success for content released on the creation club 😂

[AbandonedVoid]

"I didn't walk away feeling ripped off" Oh boy, when that's considered praise you know the company has gone under

[maya.]

If you give me a mammoth tusk I'll make sure you're never scammed again ;)

[tetsuo]

For $15 they need to hire some god damn voice actors

[OsOlK_ttv]

*Talking about how 15 dollars is an offensive amount*

Meanwhile: Fortnite charges 20 dollars for a single skin.

For oldrim players
Just search the gray cowl of nocturnal on nexus mods
Its a dlc sized quest that takes you to alik'r desert
You have lots of new voices, puzzles that arent broken and are more challenging and lots of new items and powers

[extracrisp]

the goblin add on is literally just the beginning of Oblivion
