A Modder’s Journey: From Skyrim Together to Starfield Together
Hey there, fellow gamers! Today, we have some exciting news for all you co-op enthusiasts out there. Remember the popular multiplayer mod, Skyrim Together? Well, one of the talented modders behind it recently spilled the beans about their ambitious plans to create a similar mod for Starfield. But hold on to your controllers, because it seems like this project has hit a roadblock.
A Co-op Adventure in the Stars
If you’re not familiar with Skyrim Together, it’s a fantastic mod that lets you team up with your buddies and embark on epic quests together. Picture this: you and your friends exploring a vast, immersive world, just like in Baldur’s Gate 3, but with real people by your side. Sounds awesome, right? Well, if that’s your cup of tea, I highly recommend giving Skyrim Together a try. You can check it out here.
Now, let’s get back to the exciting news. The modder, known as Cosideci, initially set out to bring the magic of Skyrim Together to Starfield. They were pumped, just like many of us, about the release of Starfield. But here’s where things took an unexpected turn.
A Change of Heart
In a candid post on Skyrim Together’s Discord channel, Cosideci revealed their journey into the world of Starfield. They spent hours reverse engineering the game and porting gameplay hooks from Skyrim Together, hoping to create a Starfield Together mod. However, they soon realized that Starfield wasn’t up to their expectations.
In their own words, they described Starfield as “boring, bland, and lacking the main draw of Bethesda games: exploration in a lively and handcrafted world.” Ouch! With a heavy heart, Cosideci made the tough decision to abandon the development of Starfield Together. They didn’t want to pour their heart and soul into a mod for a game they considered mediocre.
But fear not, fellow gamers! Cosideci didn’t leave us empty-handed. They generously uploaded the code they had created in an open-source format. This means that anyone with the skills and passion can take up the challenge of finishing the mod. It’s a daunting task, though, as Cosideci warned that it would require over 100+ hours of work.
Conclusion: The Journey Continues
So, my fellow adventurers, it looks like we’ll have to wait a while longer for a co-op experience in the world of Starfield. But don’t despair! There are plenty of incredible mods out there to enhance your gaming experience.
