And this is just the beginning - imagine what will happen a few months ago when designers master the Skyrim Creation Kit and have the development time to totally revamp the game or better yet, start releasing total conversions. With the Skyrim Creation Kit releasing a week ago today, Bethesda is proud to announce that over 2,500 mods have already been created, earning more than 2 million downloads. How fitting then was it that the day we saw this sizzle reel, Bethesda dominated the 15th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards, taking home a pile of major wins including Game of the Year for Skyrim. With the modding tools now freely available and with some amazing examples to work from, the northern lands of Skyrim were about to get a lot bigger and a lot more complex.
It began last Tuesday when Bethesda officially released the Skyrim Creation Kit for PC modders to enjoy via Steam, and it was followed up a few days later by Bethesda's Todd Howard showcasing a sizzle reel of in-game creations (including Dragon Mounts) the team made for fun after finishing work on Skyrim. Last week saw a series of very positive happenings for both the developers behind The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and for the fans who spend countless hours playing it.
