[@theangryimp1345]

It should be said that skyrim isn't based entirely on "vikings" The Eastern side is Norway and Denmark. The west is England and Scotland. With solitude being England and the reach Scotland. Elder scrolls nords are anglo saxon and norse and highlander and dane all at once. Either way it's a really cool mod list. But I'd love the variety added by the other cultural elements nords have in the elder scrolls lore!

[@leopoldbriggs7139]

I just want to note the Battleaxe, Greatsword and Sword moveset you showcased is actually the Elder Souls Moveset not the Nordic Moveset. If you don't delete the Elder Souls movesets in the MCO mod they tend to overwrite the mco animations you try to install.

[@GalaxyDoggoYT]

Hi Burns You Should Make A Turning Skyrim Into A Hunting Simulator Video Also Thnks For The Great Content Man!!

[@stephenhess406]

Any suggestions of an ENB till this is released?

is true directional movement compatible with the combat mods shown in the video. also animations for females would that break the character ?

[@lachlanfallon5949]

Yeah ESO

[@BerryBog]

To vary the Farmhouses more, I suggest using "Unigue Towns - Base Object Swapper" and choosing the Northern Farmhouse options for Winterhold, Dawnstar and Morthal, skipping Falkreath. Then installing "Northern Vanilla Farmhouses", and adding "Unique Northern Vanilla Farmhouses". This will give you similar looks as COTN Dawnstar/Morthal without all of the patches, and make the other villages and Inns unique to their region.

[@Dparrey]

I like this method too, because although the interiors are good, I really like COTN for the exteriors. So getting just the exteriors with basically zero patching is gold

[@MasterSkyrim1000]

Replying to this comment just so I can reference it in the future. :)

[@BerryBog]

Oh and Nordic Jarl Longhouses too, makes over the vanilla longhouses in a COTN style

[@HeavyBurns]

Wow, thanks so much!

[@JMurdochNZ]

Adding the "Fat Thor Films Production" at the start of your videos really is completely appropriate. These are more like mini-movies than mere mod videos. My brain hurts thinking about the level of effort that goes into each one.

[@daruphir]

A tip for both realism and immersion in your weapon descriptions You do not want a sword to be hard all the way through the harder metal is the edge which is needed to retain it's sharpness, however the steel used on the spine or center of the blade traditionally is usually a softer steel so that it can flex when it makes contact with a hard object like armor or a shield.

[@daruphir]

Hello Mr. Heavy Burns

[@HeavyBurns]

Hi!

[@cantremember6794]

Sons of skyrim is an absolute must no matter what kinda playthrough

[@Niobesnuppa]

To be honest, if you want your Skyrim world to look more like Scandinavia, I recommend the Folkvangr grass overhaul or the Verdant grass overhaul instead of the one in this video. This grass is too lush, uniform and green, making the environment look more like some milder climate further south in Europe. Most grass here in Scandinavia is much less uniform, and tends to be dotted more with random bushes and wildflowers, and often the grass is patchy due to parts of it being destroyed by groundfrost in the winter. The grass we have here isn't very pretty to look at.

[@matts9871]

i was going to say something about that! seeing the autumn-colored patchy scrub disappear to make room for a random green grassy field made my heart hurt a little; i live in the Arctic and the vanilla Skyrim tundras are incredibly accurate to how the biome looks in real life (and they make me miss summer..). i have seen pictures of Scandinavian tundra and they look very similar to where i am, as well! just a hint more green there in places (from the colors of moss, lichen, and very short green plants), and i think that's beautiful too. 😊 ((also.. i wish there was a mod that added ravens and all the funny noises they make, rather than crows.. here at least, we're too north for crows. have to go 7 hours south to start seeing any!))

[@613aristocrat]

I always love your cinematic videos! Always a pleasure to experience.

[@pauldunlop1660]

Wow, thank you HeavyBurns .The armour, the buildings, and the landscapes were all stunning but the crowning glory was the ENB, as beautiful a cold bright day in Norway. Good lighting makes such an underrated contribution to immersion as it lifts textures to new heights and shadows make intriguing architecture even more dramatic.

[@Nikelaos_Khristianos]

This video was less about making Skyrim "viking-themed" and more about making it what people think a "viking-fantasy" looks like. Especially if the "Vikings" tv show is your main frame of reference. The armour sets especially were just pure power fantasy and nothing like stuff that would have actually been worn. At least the revised town-guard sets had some tonal consistency. I just don't understand how a fantasy-Roman gladiator, or armour sets that remind you of other games, makes it feel like a "viking experience."

[@fatweeb7471]

the crows add so fucking much, so glad you shouted that mod out.

[@hoppinghare4535]

The whiterun armor from the mod, "sons of skyrim", gives me Rohan vibes and I'm all for it.

JP makes some of the best Viking styled mods from all the northern cities and roads along with the enbs. Even his bear mod is pretty crazy I love the northern bears so much larger and bear sounding. Plus the northern farm houses mod really makes Skyrim feel more cohesive absolutely 100% one of the best mods this year.

[@yort362]

ooh lala

[@Linadhin]

Another mod I love for this aesthetic is called "Away, come away". It has a short quest that gets you an armor set and a 2h sword, and I believe it adds a nordic body / face paint. I'm surprised it still seems to be somewhat of a hidden gem (At least, noone i know knew it, and the numbers on its page are modest).

[@E1_DE3]

Yo, amazing video HeavyBurns. I also love the nordic theme in my load order. For Whiterun, I'd like to toss in my own viking themed recommendation. Try using Spaghetti's Whiterun + GG's Impoverished Whiterun + Whiterun Defensive Stockade Walls. Can also work with Capital Whiterun, but the defensive stockades and mud streets really sell the look imo (without having to deal with Fortified Whiterun or any of the other big overhauls). JK's Redbag's Dragonsreach is my personal favorite, and then of course Glorious Doors of Skyrim. With Skyland Whiterun and Designs of the Nords for textures (mostly for the banners).

Skyrim 2023, who would have thought 12 yrs on there are probably more people playing Skyrim than ever before. Skyrim is the poster boy for modding, the game would otherwise just be a nostalgic booty call without modding. Skyrim has an ingredient that invokes excitement every time a player feels the urge for a playthrough. Me, ive never played the story, but have played other overhauls, also as a hunter, assassin and more. I'm getting that itch after seeing this vid...damm you.
