Skyrim has just been released and there are already some mods in the works. We took a good look at most of them and here are the five most anticipated ones that could be released in the following days. Before jumping to early conclusions, these mods are quite easy to be implemented and do not require a lot of work. Of course we’d love to see an AI overhaul but let’s face it; a mod like that is really ambitious and will most probably won’t be completed anytime soon. So, instead of listing the mods that are likely to see the light of day, here are five that are essential to every PC gamer.

Remember that 20 minutes video that was removed due to Bethesda’s copyrights? Well, we can finally post a new one – since there isn’t any embargo right now – in all its glory. This is PC footage with Ultra settings at 1920×1200 resolution. This is as good as it get’s and as we can see, Skyrim uses more than 1GB of vRam with the aforementioned settings. Imagine what the vRam requirements will be when the HD texture packs roll out. This video is courtesy of Guru3D’s user, BlackZero. Enjoy everyone!

So, Skyrim is out now and you can expect lots of news and tweaks about it. This weekend, we’ll discuss about our most anticipated mods that might get released in the following days. But for now, let’s see how you can enable ambient occlusion. Contrary to some games, Skyrim doesn’t provide any in-game option to enable it. Thankfully though, we can use the compatibility bit of Fallout 3/New Vegas to force it via Nvidia’s Inspector Tool. Oh, and in case you didn’t catch it, this is another hint that Skyrim’s engine is basically an upgraded version of Gamebryo.

Skyrim is coming out in a few days and we bet that some PC gamers would love to enjoy it in 3D awesomeness. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to as Nvidia’s Andrew revealed that the company has tested Bethesda’s upcoming baby and found out some issues with it when 3D Vision was enabled.

Oh boy, I still remember all those poor PC gamers that were blaming and cursing EA and THQ for the leaked PC versions of Battlefield 3 and Saints Row: The Third. The good thing – if you can call it a good thing – was that those pirated versions were not fully playable before their official release. In the land of consoles however, things are a bit different. And we can report at this point that the X360 version of the highly anticipated The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has been leaked to various torrent sites.

As with most multi-platform games, there is a lot of concern about the quality of Bethesda’s highly anticipated RPG, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim’s PC version. And although we do know that the game will support mods – thus will achieve higher levels of image fidelity due to texture packs and mods, Pete Hines has stated that the vanilla PC version is impressive and great looking. In fact, when Pete was asked by a fan about the PC version, he replied that it will ‘melt your face’ – provided you already have a high-end PC.
