kevorkiandoctor Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I'll be the first to admit I don't know anything about the finer art of modding, but what is preventing a mod like this from working or being made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newzilla7 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Because Skyrim was designed from the core to be singleplayer; hundreds of values in the game are dependant on the player character and are created with the assumption that there is only one.

mellophonist Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 It has been tried before. there was a mod called Skyrim Online that attempted to let multiple people play on a server but it was buggy at best and flat out didnt work at the worst. Skyrim was just not coded to allow multiple people play together and the only theoretical instance is creating a server, which is a very expensive prospect even the smallest servers would need massive rigs to handle multiple player even a split screen scenario. And they would be adding a whole nother games worth of coding which no single person could ever possibly accomplish by themselves and modding teams could better spend their time working on amazing mods like Skyblivion or Skywind. To put it plainly, it's not feasible and the end product would barely be playable, if at all. Your better off just playing ESO, its going free to play soon and I've heard (not holding my breath however) that they have fixed many of the problems players had with the game at launch.

kevorkiandoctor Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 Could you create a way to synch the games on two computers then spawn an NPC, in both games that has an A I that is based off the actions of the player in the other game? Like Remote PC from a tablet to a PC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellophonist Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 The only thing that's close to that scenario is the Familiar Faces mod which allows you to import one of your previous characters into your current playthrough as a follower (check out my discussion on the mod here) but again it can't be controlled by a second person. Skyrim was coded as a single player game and that's all it will ever be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
