Unleash the Fury: The Ultimate Punishment for Skyrim's Stealthy Players
Say goodbye to stealth gameplay with this punishing Skyrim mod It adds challenging features that will test your skills and push you to your limits
Skyrim fans who enjoy the thrill of sneaking around Tamriel, breaking into buildings and stealing goods, may face a new challenge with this recently introduced mod that makes it almost impossible to be stealthy. Despite being an open-world adventure game, The Elder Scrolls 5 also offers a light-hearted RPG experience, allowing players to live a digital life and try out various roles like farming or potion-making. The game has maintained its popularity over the years due to its diverse character builds and playthrough options, as well as the wide range of mods available. Whether one prefers a strong or magic-based Dragonborn, or even a thief, TES5 has something for everyone.
The days of being a stealthy anti-hero are no more for Skyrim fans who try out "Sneaking Kills," a modification from a Nexus Mods creator that lives up to its name. While in stealth mode, the player is instantly killed by the game, regardless of their power or health. The reasoning behind this custom addition remains unclear, but it effectively eliminates any possibility of playing as a sneaky character. As a result, many players may be discouraged from embracing the role of a burglar or clandestine archer.
Skyrim's stealth mechanic is highly valued by players, allowing them to operate covertly, pilfering gold and vanquishing gangs of bandits without detection. The "Sneaking Kills" mod, however, strips away this crucial element, altering gameplay significantly. While not everyone will appreciate this change, it may serve as a stark reminder that Skyrim can be negotiated in a variety of ways, not just through stealth. Thanks to modders, Skyrim has become an incredibly versatile RPG, with endless possibilities for playthroughs. From graphic enhancements to new characters and quests, the game's legacy endures to this day. It remains to be seen whether The Elder Scrolls 6 can attain a similar level of acclaim.
The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim - Anniversary Edition is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
