The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim is still as cult as ever, even if it is getting a bit old. But with this mod, NPCs gain a second youth and become smarter and stronger than you.
There’s really no need to introduce Skyrim anymore. This Bethesda monument remains iconic almost 15 years after its release. It revolutionized the open world, role-playing games, and many other aspects of the video game industry. As you have probably understood, we can attribute dozens of characteristics to him, but we have to face the facts: he has aged significantly. If this is not the case either, many PC gamers very often clean up thanks to numerous mods to improve the graphics or add new functions. The latest game could make life difficult for Challenge fans.
Skyrim is getting more difficult
For some time now, Skyrim has had the right to a new mod that improves the AI of enemies called “NPCs take cover“. This doesn’t necessarily make the dialogues more educational, but it is devastating in combat. As the name suggests, this feature allows opponents to take cover in case of danger. Previously, if the player was in an area inaccessible to him, he stayed just completely silent. All you had to do was take out your bow and shoot until the monster died. It’s a pretty simple addition, but it makes ranged combat much more strategic.
That’s not all, because this mod also makes NPCs more dynamic. They move faster and more randomly, making aiming more difficult. As if that wasn’t enough, they insult you. Yes, staying on the sidelines is no longer an option, you have to come to the front to “fight like a warrior!” “. Note that this mod also affects animals. Since its installation, its creator has not been without: I’ve been playing with it for about a week and it continues to surprise and challenge me. NPCs are too smart now” he jokes on the NexusMods website. This can also be a good opportunity for you to test if you have already overcome all the challenges of the original version.
Mods can work wonders. One in particular is attracting the attention of followers of the Elder Scrolls saga because it attempts to remake the third episode: Morrowind. For this, the development team will use the Skyrim engine. There is no release date yet, but development seems to be going very well, as the group says in their review at the end of 2023.
