Skyrim: The Old Republic is the Star Wars RPG we always dreamed of

The medieval setting of Skyrim crossed with the sci-fi setting of Star Wars may not be a crossover we thought would work but Skyrim: The Old Republic is seemingly proving us wrong.

There is no denying that the The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim modding community is one of the most dedicated in gaming history as, despite the game being well over a decade old, players are still getting to experience brand-new content to this day.

Take a trip down memory lane with the official trailer for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim below!

Now, thanks to modder professorxavier, we can now see what it would be like to be able to wield the Force in the medieval setting of Skyrim.

Skyrim: The Old Republic is a “mod that brings Star Wars to Skyrim” and is free to add to your game if you just so happen to be a PC user.

Compiling a list of fellow user’s mods, The Old Republic “is a compilation that combines the best parts of the Magicka saber mods and introduces some force techniques to the mix, giving you more of a Star Wars feel.”

At the time of writing, the user claims that the mod is only 40% complete as they aim to add a new quest line that introduces the Force to the land of Tamriel as well as allowing users to pick which side of the Force they wish to master.

“I am adding a Jedi and Sith temple/cave/camp (I have yet to decide) as well as some more NPCs and potential followers. I may or may not create custom armor as well, so keep an eye out for that,” they continue.

The mods used in this compilation are the Magicka Sabers, Magicka Sabers Expanded, and Star Wars Force Abilities Mod WIP by Lord Haun but professorxavier has made a few tweaks to make the mods run smoothly together.

“What I have done is remove the movie hilts from Magicka Sabers Expanded,” they explained.

“I felt they didn't really fit into the game (not that lightsabers fit in the first place) and I felt that there were just too many lightsabers anyway (nearly 200).

Now there is one of each color and style (one-handed and two-handed) that can be crafted throughout the game. As you level up you get the opportunity to craft stronger lightsabers as you would before.”

As mentioned, Skyrim: The Old Republic is free to install and more content will be added soon so if you are a fan of Skyrim and The Star Wars franchise, then this is the perfect mod for you.
