Will the real Dragonborn please stand up?
As anyone who’s played Bethesda’s fantasy RPG might tell you, it can get lonely being the only Dragonborn inSkyrim. How wonderful, then, that one modder has bestowed upon the denizens of Tamriel’s chillest, chilliest province the ability to use their very own Dragon Shouts. Now any speaking NPC inThe Elder Scrolls V: Skyrimcan let rip with a big old Fus Ro Dah and fire you straight into the sky, thanks to theEveryone Is The Dragonbornmod. Truly, egalitarianism in action.
You can watch guards using their newfound power in the videohere. I can see this mod becoming something of an unrelenting farce. Interestingly though, modder hesmick has even given a wee snippet of lore for why everyone is suddenly able to shout. “The Dragonborn is asleep, he’s dreaming the whole thing,” hesmick says. So it’s like Bobby Ewing suddenly appearing alive in the shower on Dallas, or the Bouncer’s dream skit on Neighbours. If you still feel lonely on your travels when you wake up then there’s always the multiplayerSkyrim Together Rebornmod, which lets up to eight Dragonborn hang out together.
An entire land full of people screaming their family, acquaintances, and friendly neighbourhood Dragonborn up into the air is far from the only daft Skyrim mod out there. TheFrosty Rusty Mace Of Submissionmod for vanilla Skyrim will give your Dragonborn a mace that acts like, well, Mace. The Special Edition modProjectile Sensegrants you a kind of spider-sense for incoming arrows.
Skyrim: Special Edition is onSteam,GOG, theEpic Games Storeand theMicrosoft Storefor £35/$40/€40. It’s also included in PC Game Pass. If you fancy sprucing up your copy of the game then why not take a look at Graham’s list ofthe best Skyrim mods?
