Summary
A brand-newSkyrimmod has added a classic roleplaying feature that became popular after its previous appearance inFallout: New Vegas. This new mod is sure to add tons of depth to anySkyrimplaythrough.
It has been over 13 years since the initial release ofSkyrim, but Bethesda’s RPG still remains enormously popular with gamers, especially on PC. This is in large part due to its modding community, which has continued to improve the game in just about every conceivable way since its release. There areSkyrimmods for almost anything, and with the right load order, players can make the 2011 title look right at home as a 2024 game. From small quality-of-life offerings toSkyrimmods that took years to make, they’re all important in bringing the game up to modern standards.
A newSkyrimmod by the name of Biggie Traits has been released onNexus Mods, bringing Traits to the game for the first time. Whilecreating a newSkyrimcharacter, players can choose up to two Traits, from a selection of 29. These Traits provide a buff to the character, while also providing a nerf - it’s up to the player to decide which ones are worth the trade-off. This can massively affect a playthrough, so it should be carefully considered, adding an entirely new roleplaying dynamic to the game. Creator shazdeh2 has even made it compatible with alternate startSkyrimmods, which are commonly used by players modding the game nowadays.
Skyrim Mod Adds Fallout: New Vegas' Traits
Traits were extremely popular upon their inclusion inFallout: New Vegas, and they essentially work precisely the same here. The mod’s creator even cites Obsidian’s 2010 RPG as a direct influence, making it “with the goal of creating new and fun playstyles.“Traits would later appear inStarfield, too, although they’re yet to appear in anElder Scrollsgame outside of mods.
With very fewElder Scrolls 6development updatesat the moment, it seems as thoughSkyrim’s modding scene will remain extremely popular for a while longer yet. It feels as though the only thing that could halt the scene’s momentum is the release of a new game in the series, but even then, there’s no guarantee that players would leaveSkyrimbehind, especially given how much progress modders have made over the last few years. Hopefully, the level of innovation thatSkyrimmodding has seen lately will continue long into the future.
