Skyrim players can finally rebuild Helgen in this free download

Considering our first introduction to the world of Skyrim is a place which is destroyed within the following ten minutes, it is no wonder that a way to finally rebuild Helgen is available to download for free right now.

We all remember the opening scenes from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: waking up in the wagon, being greeted by some friendly faces and eventually arriving at Helgen where we are sentenced to have our head chopped off.

Luckily for us and with some coincidental timing, a dragon attack halts the execution and what follows is the beast’s attack on the once peaceful town.

Shockingly, large quantities of fire against a town built mainly with rock and wood is not a good combination and upon returning to Helgen later on in the game, it looks a bit worse for wear.

However, thanks to the Helgen Reborn mod over on Nexus Mods, we can help rebuild the town as well as experience a “fully voiced adventure with over 20 superb voice actors”.

“As you help rebuild the town you'll reunite two old friends, uncover an underground slavery ring, battle in an arena and many other adventures!” Reads the official synopsis.

“Learn the legend of The Keepers of Hattu as you reunite two old soldiers and are thrust into a decades-old feud with a ruthless and powerful Justiciar from the Aldmeri Dominion.”

You won’t just be in charge of lugging around building materials but Helgen Reborn will also see you fighting for your life in exciting battles, uncovering conspiracies lurking beneath the town and even interacting with the most dynamic museum in Skyrim.

With 6 custom dungeons, marriage options, 4-6 hours of gameplay and “a huge cavern to display stuffed creatures”, this free-to-download mod is not one to miss out on.
