The Lordbound Team has released a new cool DLC-sized fan expansion mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition. This mod adds the land of Druadach, a dense new region larger than Solstheim. So, let’s take a closer look at it.
Alongside the new land of Druadach, the mod adds new quests, dungeons, events, and activities for you to enjoy. Lordbound offers over 60 hours of content through main questlines and side content.
According to the team, there are over 40 quests, found through the many new settlements and by exploring the world. Players can also explore over 50 new dungeons. On top of that, they can find new weapons, armor, spells, and surprising consumables.
Right now, roughly half of the mod’s major characters are voiced, but many NPCs, especially supporting ones, will have incomplete or no voiced dialogue. The team plans to add more voices in future versions.
You can go ahead and download Lordbound from this link. To begin the adventure, go to Solitude or Whiterun. There, you’ll either find — or be approached by — a Khajiit who’s looking for adventurers to explore the tunnels leading to Druadach Valley. After that, you can enter the valley through the tunnel at Mor Khazgur or the Imperial tunnel northwest of Solitude. And that’s it.
Speaking of Skyrim, here are some big fan expansions for it. The First one is Wyrmstooth. Wyrmstooth will add new quests and dungeons to the game. Then there is this mod, which brings elements from The Witcher games into Skyrim. Dragon Hall Tavern is a huge 2GB mod that adds quests, new places, an arena, and more. Then there’s Land of Vominhem, Apotheosis, and Legacy of the Dragonborn. Don’t forget to also check out this Castlevania-inspired mod. Modders have also recreated the classic PSX game, MediEvil, in Skyrim. Shumer and the Priest Kings is another DLC fan expansion mod with over 200 locations and 180+ quests. You can also download these Call of Duty and World of Warcraft mods. Oh, and here is another one that adds the cool Nemesis system from Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor to it. Lastly, we have this mod that adds six new islands to explore.
And that’s not all. Skyrim has other mods that add lots of cool stuff.
For instance, this mod allows you to destroy a lot of objects. You can also download this mod that makes the NPCs smarter. With this mod, NPCs will now have a dynamic AI system, and they’ll seek cover. Let’s also not forget this mod that adds unlimited dynamic light sources. Or how about this one that adds a dynamic sanity system? SkyPal is another must-have mod. This mod brings Skyrim and Pokemon together, allowing you to become a Beastmaster.
Last month, we shared a mod that added support for NVIDIA DLSS 4 with Multi-Frame Gen. Unfortunately, that was a paid mod. Still, as I said, Community Shaders adds support for DLSS 4, XeSS, and FSR. These are free to everyone.
Then we have this mod that adds a real-time dismemberment system. There is also a 112GB Mod that remasters all 32,000 textures to 8K.
Lots of mods for Skyrim, right? And you can find even more. So, be sure to check out our Best Skyrim Mods article.
Have fun!
