We’ve been pretty spoiled when it comes to non-Bethesda developed Bethesda games recently.
Bethesda’s modding community really is the most talented out of all of them, and recent examples like Fallout: London are a testament to that.
Take a look at Fallout: London below

I’ll be honest, when I first heard about Fallout: London, I was sceptical. It sounded too incredible to be true. Then I played it, and, just like everyone else, I was completely blown away.
That’s why I’m keeping a more open mind for the upcoming fan-made remaster of Oblivion, because so far the work that the team behind the mod have showcased looks nothing short of incredible.
Don’t take my word for it though. Take a look at the new trailer the team behind the game recently uploaded.
The work here looks so amazing in fact, that I’d believe it if you told me that Bethesda themselves were behind this project.
Skyblivion, as the developers behind the mod have taken to calling it, is essentially a complete remake of Oblivion using Skyrim’s engine.
It’s a “volunteer-based project by the TESRenewal modding group”, as stated on the Skyblivion website.
The TESRenewal group “are currently in the process of remaking Cyrodiil along with all of its quests, locations and characters into Skyrim and Skyrim: Special Edition”, and as a result there is currently no release date set in stone for the project.
Honestly though, take your time folks. We’ll all gladly wait for a good thing.
You know, in light of the recent news regarding Activision sending the team behind the H2 Multiplayer Mod a cease and desist mere hours before it was supposed to release… this kind of seems like a feel-good sort of story to me.
For all the stick the gaming community gives Bethesda sometimes, they really do understand that their modding community is one of the main reasons their games are so successful.
A lesser, dumber company would have wiped something like Skyblivion off the face of the digital landscape ages ago, but Bethesda knows what side their bread is buttered on.
