Modder ‘agerweb’ has released a new DLC-sized expansion mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, called Shumer and the Priest Kings. Shumer and the Priest Kings packs over 200 locations, more than 180 quests, and 8,500 lines of voiced dialogue. So, let’s take a closer look at it.
This expansion tells the story of Shumer, a story the player will learn by completing quests, reading books, journals, letters, and talking to people.
Shumer is the size of about 3 Skyrim holds with over 150 map-marked locations (and 40 unmarked ones) and 80+ underground locations. In total, there are over 200 new locations. Also, there are two small islands called Barbella and Althira. Shumer is home to over 1000 NPCs. Currently, the mod has 8,500 lines of voiced dialogue to support the quests and narrative of Shumer.
Players will also find 52 new books (so far) covering the Shumerian-themed history and its religion plus some fiction/non-fiction stories. There are also 42 journals and numerous letters. Treasure hunters will also be able to get their hands on 4 new treasure maps.
As said, the mod offers 180 quests. Of them, 21 are for the Main Quest. Then we have 34 side quests, 21 guild quests, and 70 various quests that players can find in Shumer. Not only that but the islands and Skyrim also have 38 new quests to complete.
In short, this is a massive DLC/fan expansion, so we highly recommend downloading it from this link.
Speaking of Skyrim, here are some other big fan expansions for it. Wyrmstooth is one of them, adding new quests and dungeons to the game. This other mod brings elements from The Witcher games into Skyrim. Dragon Hall Tavern is a huge 2GB mod that adds quests, new places, an arena, and more. Then there’s Land of Vominhem, Apotheosis and Legacy of the Dragonborn. Don’t forget to also check out this Castlevania-inspired mod. Oh, and here is another one that adds the cool Nemesis system from Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor to it. Lastly, we have this mod that adds six new islands to explore.
And that’s not all. Skyrim has other mods that do lots of cool stuff. This Call of Duty Mod adds to the game 12 new fully functional weapons from it. Then we have this mod that adds to the base game over 7000 voiced lines via AI. There is also this mod that brings the voices of Geralt and Ciri from The Witcher 3 to it. Another cool mod is this one that adds destructible objects to the game. You can also download this mod that makes NPCs smarter, enabling dynamic AI and allowing them to seek cover. Oh, and let’s also not forget this mod that adds unlimited dynamic light sources, as well as this mod that introduces a dynamic sanity system. Not only that but this mod adds a dynamic decapitation system. Finally, these mods add Subsurface Scattering, Dynamic Cubemaps, Water Caustics and Parallax Mapping to the game.
