Skyrim Online mod adds multiplayer

17 December 2011

One great thing to come out of Skyrim is the interest it’s garnered from the modding community. We’ve seen multiple tweaks, bug fixes and other enhancements being produced by the players themselves, and now it seems one ambitious modder has taken the first tentative step towards turning Skyrim into an MMO.

Mod tools haven’t even been released, but Skyrim enthusiast awpsoleet has managed to produce an extremely simple multiplayer environment for Skyrim players.

You can interact with other players at a fairly basic level at the moment, the mod enables you to chat to and trade with others; it is possible to attack them and cast spells but it doesn’t actually do anything yet.

The mod description says players are depicted as “spectral horses”, but PCGamer’s testing shows that player models are currently just unclothed versions of their character in a standard pose, “gliding around”.

While this may not sound all that impressive, the mod is in the extreme alpha stage, and this definitely shows a very real potential for a highly-functional multiplayer environment.
