Summary
A brand-newStarfieldmod has addedThe Elder Scrolls' star system to the game, giving players a new way to explore another of Bethesda’s most iconic universes. ThisStarfieldmod is a great start for any gamer hoping to see a full crossover between the two in the future.
Over the years, other Bethesda games likeSkyrimandFallout 4have been kept alive by their respective communities in the form of modding. The mods for the aforementioned titles can bring them up to modern standards, and the hope is that the exact same will happen withStarfieldover the next few years. The game’s initial mixed reception from fans had some concerned about what the modding community would even want bring to the table, but over one year on, there are already some trulyimpressiveStarfieldmodsout there. Gamers can only hope this strong modding trend continues, and by the looks of things, it will.
ThisStarfieldElder Scrollsmod is titled The Elder Star System - Magnus, and can be found onNexus Mods. Its purpose is simple: to add the star system found in theElder Scrollsgames toStarfield, making it fully explorable for players. At the moment, it adds the main planet in the series, Nirn, as well as its moons Secunda and Masser. Players can land on all of these, although right now, they don’t have the correctStarfieldbiome. That’s planned for a future update, according to creator RONALDMCDONLD.
This is What The Elder Scrolls' Star System Looks Like in Starfield
The mod is intended to serve as a foundation for other mod projects to build upon. Creator RONALDMCDONLD is also behind the ongoing Starblivion project, which aims to add the world ofObliviontoStarfieldin full. The idea is that players will be able to use this mod in the future to land into the Starblivion mod, which sounds pretty cool. Earlier this year, anotherambitiousElder ScrollsandStarfieldcrossover mod was canceled, and this is often the case with projects of this scale. Hopefully, this becomes one of the exceptions.
After the recent release ofStarfield: Shattered Space, it’ll be interesting to see what Bethesda does with the IP going forward. The recentStarfieldexpansion faced some heavy review criticismsfrom players, just like the game itself, although there’s no doubt that the base game was a financial success for the studio. WithThe Elder ScrollsandFalloutalso on the agenda, Bethesda certainly has some decisions to make about its future projects. It would be surprising to see future Bethesda games follow theSkyrimmodel, keeping players waiting over 13 years for a mainline sequel.
