A recently released mod for Skyrim called There is No Umbra just added a rideable talking sword to the game. While this may be the most frowned upon feature, There is No Umbra is a massive mod that promises to give players virtually the same immersive experience as the base game, complete with nearly a dozen quests, thousands of lines of voiced dialogue, and new locations. Add. , mechanics, animations and more.
Featuring over 5,000 professional voice lines, the mod features a “DLC-sized quest line” with “many possible endings” where “your choices really matter”. The mod’s standout feature is, of course, the eponymous sword, Daumbra, “the latest incarnation of the cursed sword Umbra.” This isn’t naturally an old sword, it’s fully summonable, throwable, and even mountable. Players can ride the sword “as fast as a hoverboard”.
According to There is No Umbra, a modder on FableForge, the sword “may be your follower, but she can also be your weapon. She’s like a javelin (and then she fights the bad guys where she lands) , mind control, teleportation, telekinetic use of enemy weapons, and more.”
No Umbra, on the other hand, is not about rideable swords. This mod offers a variety of quests, locations and mechanics to keep players engaged for a long time. The best part is that everything in the mod is “lore-friendly”.
“The focus, at least for me, is the story,” explains FableForge. “I believe that the more real choices we make in a story, the more we care about it. By that criterion, you’re probably going to be very interested. This mode has many important choices and many endings that make them important. No two people will experience this story in the same way.”
The modding community has been a real boon to Skyrim fans, allowing them to experience new adventures and gameplay mechanics, both of which greatly extend the life of this already 12-year-old game. No Umbra belongs to this category of mods and is a must-play for any Skyrim fan looking for something new. With a long quest line, interesting locations and, of course, the floating sword Daumbra, almost any player will find something exciting and interesting.
