The recent controversy revolves around an accusation the Skyrim Together mod "steals" code from Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE). It recently held a beta open to those who backed the Patreon.
Skyrim Together is an ambitious and high-profile mod for Bethesda's hugely-popular fantasy role-playing game that lets players play together. Meanwhile, there's increased scrutiny on the modding team's Patreon, which currently pulls in over $25,000-a-month.

You can download Skyrim Together Reborn and find its installation instructions over on Nexus mods (opens in new tab) and learn about setting up a server with playtogether.gg or Hamachi on its website (opens in new tab).The Skyrim Together mod is currently embroiled in a controversy that has seen its developers accused of stealing code. But it does what it says on the tin better than I'd expected without being a pain in the ass to set up-at least, no more of a pain in the ass than Skyrim modding has always been. This isn't an immersion-enhancing Skyrim experience. So long as you're willing to shrug off occasional AI hiccups, naked NPCs, and invisible bandits. I wouldn't recommend it as an introduction to anyone who isn't my legally bound co-op guinea pig.īut for Skyrim vets who want to have a laugh with pals? It's great. Skyrim Together really isn't the ideal first experience with The Elder Scrolls 5 though. It's been a few years since I played through Skyrim's early hours and it was fun getting to revisit it with my partner, who's thus far managed to never, ever play it. It's a whole new way to cheese the level grind. Oh, and for the extreme scummers in the room: With PvP disabled you can smack your friends with weapons over and over to quickly gain experience and level up. Sticking together, or making liberal use of that teleport function in the party menu, is key. We found ourselves saying "wait, where are you?" pretty regularly as I instinctively pulled open my map each time before remembering that no, my friends weren't visible there.
There's server text chat if you need it, but I'd recommend jumping in a Discord call. What Skyrim Together does require is a lot of communication. No worries, though: He was able to toss it on the ground for me to repeat the process. Our only minor world state hiccup while inside Bleak Falls was him nicking the golden claw off the thief and using it on the relevant door, walking through what was still a locked, solid door on my end. Loot from corpses and containers was shared, too. I was able to pick locks on chests for my partner without him needing to do so separately. A bit of AI merry-go-round the dungeon pillars with a giant spider was much needed without pause-scumming.Īside from the AI's tunnel vision, fighting together through a short dungeon was surprisingly functional. Skyrim's melee combat turned out to be a bit more deadly without the ability to enter a menu and scarf a healing potion, skeever leg, and stew while a draugr's axe is paused in the air an inch from my face. Occasionally my partner got entirely ignored by enemies who chased me, presumably because I was the quest holder. It was a bit of a toss-up in each combat encounter how Skyrim's AI would handle the both of us. Once inside the dungeon, though, things were smoother. On the way, we did find a bandit in the overworld that attacked my partner, but was invisible and intangible to me. We met each other in Riverwood and jaunted off to classic first dungeon Bleak Falls Barrow to retrieve yon golden claw from the clutches of bandits, spiders, and draugr.
