Ambitious Elder Scrolls Skyblivion Mod Shows Off 20 Minutes Of Quest Gameplay

Skyblivion, the ambitious mod that looks to port and remaster The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion into the more-modern engine used by its sequel, Skyrim, is looking better than ever. The volunteer development team behind the project recently dropped a new 20-minute gameplay video highlighting two of the game's side quests for fans to salivate over.

While Skyblivion will feature some original quests (with original voice acting), the two quests highlighted in the gameplay video are existing Oblivion quests, Fingers of the Mountain and Killing Fields. They are largely as fans remember, albeit with a new coat of paint thanks to the remastered visuals coming as part of the mod. One quest, the Killing Fields, rewards a powerful and unique sword, Chillrend. It is just one of the weapon quest rewards that has been remade in order to offer "more unique and diverse weapons throughout Skyblivion," according to the video.

Described as the "ultimate fan-made experience," Skyblivion looks to offer the best of what both Skyrim and Oblivion have to offer, according to the mod's website. As such, Skyblivion will bring back gameplay systems seen in Oblivion--spell crafting, classes, underwater combat--and integrate them into Skyrim's engine.
