Skyrim modders have brought Shadow of Mordor's Nemesis system to Tamriel
Skyrim now has Shadow of Mordor's Nemesis system, thanks to modders.
In May, Syclonix (opens in new tab) revealed that they were working on a mod to bring the Nemesis system from Shadow of Mordor to Bethesda's expansive RPG. In a post on the Skyrim Mods subreddit (opens in new tab), the Skyrim modder has revealed that the ambitious mod is now available, allowing you to build your own unique narrative involving "emergent stories of revenge".
For those unaware, the system was first introduced in Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and was again used by developer Monolith in the 2017 follow-up Middle-earth: Shadow of War. This system means that enemies remember previous encounters with you and can be promoted if they manage to kill you. Not only do you face a tougher battle the second time around, but you also have to put up with hearing them brag about how they bested you. It's a unique and inspired system that makes battles in both games much more immersive.
The mod, known as Shadow of Skyrim, Nemesis and Alternative Death System, aims to add that personal touch to your adventures in Tamriel. According to its creator, every enemy who defeats you will be turned into a nemesis with a unique name and increased stats, and given a special buff. For instance, an Argonian Vampire may be given the title "Breaks-Many-Shields" and have the Shield Breaker buff. If defeated, you are given a debuff such as an inability to use shields and, to add insult to injury, your adversary can take your gear and use it. When defeated, you spawn in a random area, and so begins your revenge quest.
Syclonix seemingly has more content in the works. "I'm excited to continue working on this mod and pushing new content updates later," wrote the modder.
