A video fromThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimshows that fans may want to be careful when using mods, as they can result in some unexpected events.The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimoriginally launched in 2011, and Bethesda celebrated its 10-year anniversary byreleasing a specialSkyrim Anniversary Editionof the game.
Mods have likely contributed heavily to the longevity ofSkyrim, as gamers can get a completely different experience based on the mods they have installed. In addition to upgrading the graphics or adding quality-of-life improvements, someSkyrimmods can radically alter various gameplay aspects, giving users a fresh adventure each time. However, one video shows users need to be careful when usingSkyrimmods.

A Reddit user named Bitter-Credit-9763 has shared a clip of them fighting a bandit inThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim. The player hits the enemy a couple of times and manages to initiate a unique kill camusing the VioLens Skyrim mod, only for the bandit to fall off the platform. However, presumably due to the kill cam starting at that exact moment, both the bandit and the player float in midair as the animation plays out. Bitter-Credit-9763 falls to their death right after the animation ends, possibly wondering if the unique kill cam animation led to their demise.
It’s not completely unheard of for this issue to happen in an unmodded version ofThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, but the custom kill animation may have triggered it, or increased the likelihood of it occurring. Some players in the comments also make references to Looney Tunes and Acme products, while others post questions about the mods featured in the video. The player mentions that they are using the Believable weapons mod, whichchanges the look of the weapons inSkyrim, in addition to VioLens for the kill cam.
Gamers will also find a ton of mods that can drastically change the graphics and various gameplay aspects ofSkyrim. As an example, one video shows a fan usingSkyrimmods to play as Batmanand take out citizens of Whiterun, while another gives all NPCs of the game the power to use Dragon Shouts.
It’ll be interesting to see if mods can have a similar effect on the longevity of upcoming Bethesda games likeStarfieldandThe Elder Scrolls 6. WhileStarfieldis scheduled to launch in 2023,The Elder Scrolls 6was confirmed to be in pre-production in 2022, so users will probably have to wait for a few years to play it.
The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimis available for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
