Summary
A brand-newSkyrimmod has been released, adding a detailed creature compendium that gives players important information about the monsters they face. While many RPGs have this kind of creature compendium, this was an area in whichSkyrimwas lacking until now.
Later this year,Skyrimwill turn 13 years old. Despite this, the game’s modding scene is arguably as active as ever, with hundreds of new mods being uploaded online monthly, changingSkyrimin a ton of interesting ways. The modding community hasn’t gotten complacent over time either, and it is always looking for ways to push the boundaries of what is possible in Bethesda’s legendary 2011 RPG. One recently releasedSkyrimmod even makes big improvements to the Dark Brotherhood questline, showcasing how fundamental parts of the game are still being massively changed by the modding community in 2024.
The mod, titled “The Dragonborn’s Bestiary,” is available onNexus Modsfrom user JPSteel2. Its main functionality adds a new custom menu to the game, which automatically gathers information about theSkyrimcreaturesthat players encounter throughout their adventures. Gamers can look through detailed lore about each enemy, their strengths and weaknesses in combat, as well as the potential loot that they can drop. There’s even a kill counter for each enemy, so players can keep track of how many they’ve managed to defeat in their current save file. With 122 creatures included in total, there’s a lot to delve into with this mod.
Skyrim Creature Compendium Mod
In “The Dragonborn’s Bestiary,” players can add to their creature compendium in a number of different ways. Killing them is the fastest way, but summoning them, transforming into them, reading about them, or talking to certain characters about them also adds them to the list. It seems as though JPSteel2 has thought about just about everything with thisamazingSkyrimmod, and it truly feels like a natural expansion of the base game.
Even withSkyrim’s modding community in such a good place, there is no doubt an appetite forThe Elder Scrolls 6to finally be released. Despite this, while the game is now in active development at Bethesda, it will likely be a few years yet before it comes to fruition. As of right now, practically nothing is known about the game, except for its existence.WhileThe Elder Scrolls 6has a rumored setting, everything is pure speculation until Bethesda is ready to speak about its next major title.
