One final concern I asked Maldaran about was the risk of getting in trouble with Warner Bros. I can't make a promise." Even the entrance corridor is beautiful. "BUT while reading all the positive feedback I´m really really tempted to continue Middle-Earth and my passion for modding it. I bought a brand new computer and want to start modding for Ark Survival Evolved. The retexture of Bree's buildings and the implementation of the mumakil was definitely preparation for Minas Tirith and a battlefield. "I have plenty more ideas for worldspaces I haven´t covered in my mod. modding for skyrim became a bit exhausting. "But since the engine is now very old and many bugs of the creation kit are never fixed.

not only the big worldspace the mod offers now," Maldaran added. "For five years I worked on and added many interesting things. "When I began modding for Skyrim, I worked around three to four hours a day on the project, but that was when I went to school." Here's Lothlorien, and you probably don't need me to tell you how gorgeous this looks - even on vanilla Skyrim.ĭespite the new restraints on their time, Maldaran still spends "a few hours a week" on modding projects: but it sounds like this will be the Middle Earth mod's final version.
"I started modding over 10 years ago, firstly for the old Star Wars Battlefront 2," Maldaran told me. I asked Maldaran, who works in an architecture office, a few questions about their work and how long they spent on the project. The mod has certainly come a long way from its roots: Maldaran told me The Elders Scrolls V Middle Earth began as only three areas "which were not much bigger than normal dungeons" - and the love and attention put into the mod really shows. The Shire, one of the newly-added locations, feels particularly well-crafted, and Maldaran describes this as their "masterpiece". The only survivors were me and one other guard, the very definition of a Pyrrhic victory.Īlthough I did encounter the occasional problem - such as floating foliage, the occasional place name that wouldn't disappear, and a few lurking snippets of German, the mod is seriously impressive and really captures the feeling of being in Middle-earth. Players can activate the battle in three separate stages using stones inside the grounds of the fortress. In one of my nerdiest moments ever, I re-enacted the Battle of Helm's Deep (role-playing Legolas) with the official Lord of the Rings soundtrack thundering away in the background. After stumbling through an orc-elf skirmish, I explored the arches of Rivendell, while Lothlorien's tree buildings have been beautifully recreated with twinkling lights.īut this mod isn't just about locations: there are interactive elements too. The elvish locations, meanwhile, were simply stunning. Guess I still did better than Gandalf, though. I did not learn my lesson, and went back down again to tango with the Balrog. Having relaxed in The Shire, I then explored Moria, and got absolutely wrecked when I poked my nose into the lower depths and encountered dozens of goblins. A little walking will take you to the town of Bree - suitably dark and foreboding - while the hobbit homes feel small and cosy. Naturally, I went straight to The Shire, and was welcomed by a charming birthday party with lanterns and classic round-door hobbit homes.

Once in Middle-earth, you'll find yourself in a long corridor full of beautifully-crafted doors leading to various locations from Lord of the Rings. After encountering a couple of technical difficulties with the teleport spells, I found it easiest to take the fast-travel option.
So, how do you get to Middle-earth? You have two options: either grab a Middle-earth teleportation spell from Farengar in Whiterun, or simply walk there by finding the "Lord of the Rings" door in the west of the map. Players can also craft Mithril armour, and Maldaran told me the latest version introduces even more craftable items, along with new spells to learn. You can re-enact the Battle of Helm's Deep, fight goblins in the mines of Moria and even battle the Balrog.

The remarkable one-person project, made by 26-year-old Maldaran from Germany, allows PC players to explore many of the most famous locations in Lord of the Rings, including The Shire, Lothlorien and Rivendell. The Elder Scrolls V Middle-Earth began back in 2014 and has seen several updates, but Maldaran told me the Redone version adds new content, solves bugs, re-works the portal corridor and streamlines all the past versions into one neat package. Ever thought you could do a better job than Legolas at the Battle of Helm's Deep? Well now you can prove it, as the final version of this incredible Lord of the Rings Skyrim mod has just been published.
