New Skyrim mod takes you back in time to solve a mystery

Not that you need another reason to jump back into the wonderful world of Skyrim, but the new Forgotten City mod is all the motivation you’ll ever need.

While there’s hundreds, if not thousands, of Skyrim mods out there, The Forgotten City is a little different.

The Forgotten City is practically an expansion in itself, taking players on a time-travelling murder mystery chock-full of new locations, quests and dialogue.

“The Forgotten City is a lore-friendly expansion to Skyrim with a dark, non-linear story in which you’ll discover and explore an ancient underground city,” explains its creator.

The mod is designed as a murder mystery, in which players must search for clues, interrogate suspects and fight monsters. And then there’s that time travelling mechanic to contend with.

The mod boasts an impressive 1,200 lines of dialogue, 30 new characters and a moral choices that will result in a variety of potential endings. It’s an undeniably impressive undertaking.

The Forgotten City is set to launch in October. For more on the mod, head over to its ModDB page.
