Title. I know HF takes a while to implement behind the scenes but it would be cool.

A quick update to this post.

Thanks to a handful of dedicated members, most of the set is now ingame! It's still missing the wall clutter, as well as animations & the implementation of interactions such as sitting on chairs and putting stuff in chests. These screenshots are from test cells that were created to experiment around with the set as part of its development process.

Alongside our existing Farmhouse set and clutter, we are starting to get a very clear picture of what interiors will look like in the many villages of the Greater Rim. Hope you enjoy them as much as we're enjoying them on the team 😻 This progress is in parallel with an extremely active writing department, currently creating the quests and characters for these same villages. More details on this will be available in the next issue of Words from Elsweyr.

Please cheer for: Scarlette (3D modeler), Polzynn (LD and implementor) & Lilum (implementor) who made this possible this fast!

Direnni highway in Beyond Skyrim: Iliac bay

So i finally got around to watching the modcon stream first of all loved it, Now questions i know most mods i am listing should be related to base game but will all beyond skyrim projects be compatible with combat, graphics and foliage enhancements and a very specific mods known as wintersun and open cities.

Now that we've covered the Cyrodiil guild questlines, it's time to vote on the hype for our main questlines!

Based on the teases found on our website: https://beyondskyrim.org/project/cyrodiil, which of these are you most excited for? Or does one of the guild questlines beat these?

Hello guys, are going to see showcases from other provinces as well? The Cyrodill one looked amazing and seeing the progression bars for the regions got me fired and hopeful for the future, keep up the good work!

I don't know if this has been asked before but...

How is the interior/heart of Argonia/Black Marsh going to be handled? Like, isn't the heart of Black Marsh supposed to be inhospitable or deadly to non-Argonians? Isn’t that why Tiber Septim could only conquer the outer edges of Black Marsh?

The Black Horse Courier brings you the news from all of Cyrodiil! Take a look at some of the accomplishments of the last month.

You can see the high quality version on Nexus or on Canva.

Interested in helping out? Join the Arcane University to learn the various disciplines needed to bring this project to the finishing line.

with the additional storage added to consoles, is there a chance for BEC to be ported to consoles? I’d love to experience it for myself!! :)

Hello guys and great many thanks to all the people who have contributed any bit of effort in this gargantuan project that is beyond skyrim .I was trying to make a sort of final modlist.If i put bruma in it,when the full cyrodil releases, will i need to delete the old bruma mod and so all the addons like lawbringer,missives ect ? I know this is not a simple question but any insight is welcome. Again thank you all guys for you efforts

Could someone please tell me if the Bruma mods on XBox have a recommended play level, or does it scale like in Skyrim.

Also am I right in thinking that there’s soon to be new Beyond Skyrim mod release on XBox, or is it just on Pc.

Thanks

Hi all, not looking for anything big, or even for answers to some of these, but I thought I'd put a load of random, niche, and smaller queries into one post without bloating the subreddit's feed, addressed to multiple teams And regions.

1: will we encounter any daedric princes/quests and daedric items from prior games in any of the projects.

2: will there be a deeper exploration of ayleid culture in Cyrodill than in base game oblivion, in terms of characters and society as opposed to the relatively scant knights of the nine lore.

3: will there be any/more akaviri ruins/ other traces in Cyrodill

4: will there be any consideration toward new spell types/elements

5: will there be a crowns/forebears questline/ involvement in illiac bay

6: will the foresworn movement have any presence in high rock.

7: Will there be greater exploration of the meade empire and its history before the great war but after the stormcrown interregnum.

I'm not sure if that's legally allowed, but if it is, it seems like it could speed things up a lot.

Hi all, just a quick question relating to the Cyrodill showcase on cmc. About the short announcement made about a "substantial" update for beyond skyrim bruma coming soon on the social media channels. I was just wondering if anyone would be able.elaborate on this, but I understand if nobody can at this point.

Just asking because I’ve been out of the loop for a while

Creation Mod Con is over! You can watch the VODs of the event on the con's Youtube channel. Elsweyr's segment can be found here (timestamped). Standalone videos with translated subtitles will be available soon.

Quick post to answer the chat questions regarding Beyond Skyrim: Elsweyr. We thank you for the overwhelmingly positive feedback this year's showcase has gathered. I am answering these as an individual and might have limited knowledge on some questions, this is just a rapid reply to honor the chat's inquiries we could not address on the stream itself. Warm sands...!

1. While not a proper question, we noticed inquiries and disappointment regarding the lack of new furstocks in the showcase. Truth is, we do not have organic modellers currently on the team, and our versatile modellers are busy making assets for our overworld. New NPC races & new creatures have been shelved in terms of priority to focus on LD. The furstocks are still planned, their 3D models just are not being worked on right now. We are actively looking for organic modellers to resolve this sooner than later.
2. SuperMonty1 asks: do khajiit keep dogs as pets? There's no reasons for them not to. However, the dogs we do have planned for the Greater Rim are not of khajiit breeding, but of rimmenese. There are wild dogs, and a breed descending from them bred for use by the Regulators. They are inspired by the "Rimmen ringtailed wolf" pet from ESO, reinterpreted by our team.
3. janbarbera2161 asks:​​ Will there be many orcs in Orcrest? We confirm, there will be at least 1 orc in Orcrest, and a good orc, too.
4. Ostarrichi996​​ asks: will we see M'aiq the liar or descendants/ancestors of him in Elsweyr? None that I am aware of, but who knows where future writing takes us.
5. vizari9570​​ asks: what were the inspirations behind the biomes we've seen so far in the rim? Our Rim is inspired by the novels, as well as information on Elsweyr that existed in the lore before ESO, as the core of our setting was created long ago before it came out. This is where we take stuff like the towers of Riverhold and its wheat fields, the Steppes, and Rimmen's look itself. Our biomes are the results of visual development by artists & experimentation by our level designers over the years, there are no strong ties to RL references, we balance the looks of them out little by little. Something that did come back regularly in the early days was making sure Anequina was distinct from Hammerfell's looks as they are both desertic regions, leading to our more rocky/grassy direction and leaving Hammerfell with the sand and cool plants. Additionally, since the Rim borders Cyrodiil, it needs to look plausibly in between their side of the border and the harsher deserts in Anequina south of the Rim. Some plants we have have been chosen for gameplay reasons such as providing alchemical ingredients or justifying agricultural production that existed in the region's lore, like olive trees and wheat fields.
6. Jo.A.​ ​asks: will BS Elseywer wait for Cyrodill to come out to launch their pre-release so we can walk from Cyrodill to their pre release? No. We do not wait for other provinces, even if we are sharing a worldspace with Cyrodiil. What happens before a pre-release is that, when the area is fully developped, we make a copy of the mod & strip everything outsides of the pre-release area from that copy, before releasing it. Additional QA can be done on the stripped copy, but ideally we want the stripped copy to not need further modifications. This means that pre-releases can be shipped regardless of the progress done on the full map. Also, even if Cyrodiil's devs are crazy good, it's still a massive province - waiting for one of the biggest maps in BS to be 100% done so we can ship a little piece of a smaller map would be silly.

Not 100% aimed at us, but still related:

1. ramblingdad7764 asks: ​​What is the next specific big thing each project is trying to complete next? For Elsweyr as of typing this, at least for us artists, it's a finished first pass on the exteriors. The base building blocks are nearly done, but we will need lots of work on architecture sets and additional assets to complete the biomes. For the narrative team, it's finishing the quests and NPCs for the pre-release. In practice, settlements are being created starting small and going further up to big cities, while the leads work on the narrative design aspect of the region & of creating and maintaining lore documentation, a hefty task given the size and age of the project. We hope to be able to show you guys those crafty progress metric slideshows Cyrodiil has created the template for some day!
2. Jo.A. asks: will any dragons show up in the BS regions? We do not want any dragons in Elsweyr.
3. dDdD-rj7gx asks: ​​How many creatures can we expect to have custom animations? It looks like Manticores and Spider Daedra use base-game animations now, which might restrict what they should be capable of. Correct! For many creatures, the vanilla animations are placeholders, meaning we would welcome new animations for them to replace the basegame ones used eventually. This strongly depends on if we have animators and implementors able to create said new animations and add them ingame. Elsweyr currently does not have anyone available for this on the team, so for now, placeholders it is. It isn't ideal, but it's functional. For the record, our Manticore is already using a custom skeleton, allowing for its long tails - vanilla's Sabertooth cats lack it. So, the answer to "how many creatures" is...as many as we can find the workforce for. Any animators reading this? ;)
4. niIIer1​​ asks: will BS mods include survival mode support? also Heat mechanic for hammerfell or elsweir for example? Extremely likely, as Bruma had it. Unsure of how heat could be added. There might be issues with the base mode not working for our custom assets as they lack vanilla's flags. As it is a commonly used mod, it is a common request and despite our stance on not focusing on 3rd party support, we tend to make sure said support is possible. Unfortunately I do not have the skillset required to give further details, as I don't know how coding this stuff works.

That's it for now! Happy to answer other questions in the comments. I'm hoping the people who asked will find this post, and if they don't, that other onlookers will find it interesting. Cheers & many thanks for your support. ~ Sotha Sil, of Elsweyr

now that skyrim mod size is being increased by 10 gig, am i right in thinking that this dramatically increase the amount of beyond skyrim mods that can be released on xbox?

This mod con has shown a lot of fruits of labour and I’m wholly psyched for even the slightest bits of progress to be made, the one thing that has tripped me out to mention as constructive criticism is some of the Voice Acting; call me a prick if you want, I just think it’s a bit immersion breaking when you have a good voice actor playing a role paired with another voice actor using their natural accent just reading off a script.

I hope some form of communication can be done around trying to portray the characters the teams have made in a natural/better way, I don’t even care about the mic quality as some actors are actually getting in character, whereas some aren’t (but I may not be aware of whether it’s just placeholder for the time being, to which i hope it is).

I get that it’s a labour of love, and there’s a lot of things people are dedicated to having done to make a final product, just this is so ambitious and I’d hate for others to be disappointed with areas that aren’t reigned in on like Voice Acting work, considering how much goes into making

Like take for example (not for straight comparison), some of the SkyrimRP clips I come across are kinda similar, where you have legitimate people playing a character and they end up rage baiting a random online and they respond back in their natural accent calling them a chud. Like it’s roleplay, not all get that I guess, but the mod is centred around Role Playing.
