The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim can attribute its long-time popularity in part to its extremely involved community. With the addition of the Steam Workshop, the possibilities in Skyrim‘s game engine are now nearly endless. It seems a new overhaul or fan-made expansion is released every other week, and the game was released nearly a decade ago.
For those who want to blend together their favorite games with Skyrim, the Steam Workshop hosts countless mods that add characters from games like Zelda, The Witcher, and even Crash Bandicoot. Just be sure to check the installation instructions for each mod, as some require script extenders or compatibility mods.
10 MediEvil: Hero Of Gallowmere
In the original Playstation game Medievil the player takes control of Sir Daniel Fortesque, a skeletal risen knight hunting an evil sorcerer. The game was known for its unique art style and for making full use of the original Playstation’s hardware.
In Skyrim, the MediEvil: Hero of Gallowmere mod allows the player to play as Fortesque in the world of Tamriel. The mod boasts an entirely new area based on the original series, as well as new weapons, monsters, and revamps the questing experience from the ground up.
9 Wizard Tarhiel From Morrowind
For long-time Elder Scrolls franchise fans, the name Wizard Tarhiel probably rings a bell: he is the wizard that suddenly falls from the sky out of nowhere. In Morrowind, the dead-on-impact Tarhiel drops a Scroll of Icarian Flight, an extremely powerful jump spell and likely the way he got up there in the first place.
The wizard makes a return in Skyrim in the mod Wizard Tarhiel From Morrowind. He falls from the sky right next to the Riverwood bridge, but be careful lest ye meet the same fate with this insane jumping scroll.
8 God of War Mod
Ever wanted to kill Nazeem with the Blade of Olympus or the Chain Blades of Athena? The God of War Mod lets the player play as Kratos himself and adds a significant amount of armor, weapons, and details to the game that references the mythic franchise.
God of War debuted on the Playstation 2 and saw later success in the PS5 exclusive reboot – this mod specifically references the original trilogy, meaning players won’t be able to kick Atreus off of High Hrothgar anytime soon.
7 Vault-Tec Balloon Companion
Bethesda is well known for being the company behind two mainstream franchises: The Elder Scrolls and Fallout. One modder on the Steam Workshop saw an opportunity to blend together the post-apocalyptic and fantasy worlds in a way nobody could have expected.
While the Vault-Tec Balloon Companion mod is more of a reference to a meme than a game, it is surprisingly deep in scope. The mod lets the player create balloon armor for their follower, he has a custom skeleton for other armor, and the player can even… marry him…
6 Crash Bandicoot Follower
The Crash Bandicoot games are a well-loved franchise from the original Playstation era that recently saw a remaster and a traditional sequel after decades of fan anticipation. As the mod title suggests, this mod allows the player to hire Crash Bandicoot as a follower.
While the mod doesn’t add spinning animations or the classic “woah” voice lines, it is still worth installing just to see the hilarious contrast between Skyrim’s subdued palette and Crash’s vibrant fur.
5 Majora’s Mask Moon
Long-time Zelda fans will recognize the moon from Majora’s Mask for its terrifying expression and the feeling of dread that came with its slow descent upon Termina. While the moon won’t fall and destroy Tamriel in the Majora’s Mask Moon mod, it still adds a foreboding sense that the player is being watched…
While players can’t have the Moon as a follower or use its model for their character, it works exceedingly well with the variety of Link player model mods available on the Workshop.
4 Deathwing-Inspired Alduin
When the World of Warcraft expansion Cataclysm was released, his unique design and shimmering lava armor plating made quite the aesthetic impact. While the in-game design for Alduin in Skyrim is certainly terrifying and extremely well-designed, one modder took it upon themselves to reskin the end-game boss entirely.
The Deathwing-Inspired Alduin mod turns Alduin into a true Destroyer of Worlds, capable of razing all of Azeroth and Tamriel under its black wings. Well, maybe that’s an overstatement, but seeing the Black Dragonflight in a modern engine is something every World of Warcraft player should experience.
3 Link Follower
The Legend of Zelda franchise often forgets that Link is an elf, not a human. In the Link Follower mod, Nintendo’s most famous adventurer gets a re-skin as a wood elf. This is a mod that goes particularly well with the Majora’s Mask Moon mod.
One thing to consider, though, is that the mod does not give Link his iconic armor, shield, or sword. The follower is programmed to equip items normally, the player just has to install them separately first.
2 Witcher 3 Geralt Of Rivia
The Witcher 3, like Skyrim, is one of few RPGs that has truly stood the test of time. The Witcher 3 Geralt of Rivia mod allows players to use Geralt’s model for their characters at the character creation screen.
This mod, like the God of War Mod, adds special abilities and items to the game. Included with the mod are the Witcher’s signs, his iconic silver, and steel swords, and armor befitting the Butcher of Blaviken.
1 Playable Team Fortress 2 Characters
The world of Skyrim mods would not be complete without modders blending together games that have nothing to do with each other. Dafini’s Team Fortress 2 mod series allows the player to use character models such as the Spy, the Scout, the Pyro, and others in the world of Tamriel.
These character models are fully voiced and each “class” has its own unique skills and spells. The Spy, for example, can go invisible as a racial ability, while the Scout is fast and an excellent pickpocketer.
