Remember when Oblvion was announced and Bethesda showcased the amazing dynamic lighting system that would be featured in it? Oh God, you can’t imagine how disappointed I was when I found out that our beloved company had decided to dumb it down. And guess what; Skyrim suffers from the very same thing. Oh yeah, a lot of light sources are don’t cast shadows and as a result of that, most of the interiors look flat. A nice workaround is the implementation of SSAO but lets be honest, a dynamic lighting system should be present in most modern-games.

I have a confession to make; I’m a huge fan of DBZ. My best character is Trunks, I loved the Cell saga, and was disappointed with the recent remake of the anime that has, ironically, ended before the Buu saga. Imagine that, a remake and we didn’t get to see the amazing battle between Majin Vegeta and Goku. Bollocks. But anyway, back on topic. Like most of you, I enjoyed Bid for Power back in the days and I was hoping for a DBZ mod in Skyrim. And I’m delighted to tell you that there is currently a DBZ overhaul for Skyrim that looks pretty cool.

Seems that some modders have been waiting patiently for the release of the Creation Kit and Steam’s Workshop, as modder Arthmoor has just released a very promising mod for Skyrim. Open Cities Skyrim is a comprehensive project that aims to bring back at least part of the feel of Morrowind – specifically how most of the cities were a natural part of the world and you could just walk in without loading screens. The added immersion and realism goes a long way, probably a lot more than you might think. Continue reading Skyrim Open Cities Mod is one of the most promising ‘gameplay mods’ and is available right now→
