At a certain point, sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Whoever first said that must have been talking about Skyrim modding, because it feels more like wizardry at this point.
As the single most fan-modified game in history, Skyrim has been twisted into any number of unrecognizable shapes. Want to explore the last game's map updated for Skyrim's timeline? Want to overhaul the combat system into something like Dark Souls? Want to meet and bond with a cast of better-realized companion characters than anything the base game has to offer? Mods can do all this and more.
Even so, I find myself awed by SkyParkour, a parkour framework that honestly looks even better than the Assassin's Creed games it's clearly taken inspiration from. If you've ever dreamed of clambering over Solitude's rooftops or doing a Leap of Faith off Dragonsreach, your fantasies can now be fulfilled.
Seeing Skyrim's basic and at times clunky movement turned into this is nothing short of breathtaking. Imagine how much more fun the Thieves Guild quests are going to be.
