Skyrim has been out for just over two weeks, even though it might feel like you’ve already put a lifetime into that game. For those of us playing on the PC, we have the added benefit of modding our expereience and the kind folks over at PC Gamer put together a list of the 20 best Skyrim mods as of right now. If you’re playing on consoles you had best look away, lest you get all jealous like.
Modding is nothing new to Bethesda games as Oblivion and the two Fallout titles have seen a slew of great user-created enhancements, and Skyrim is shaping up to top all of them. Included in PC Gamer’s list are things like a fully 3D map, a crafting enhancement where you can melt down pots and pans into usable ore and several custom tweaks that improve the faces of NPCs right down to their lips (seriously). There’s even a couple goofy ones in here like the one that replaces the spiders with other creatures like bears but keeps the animation model so you have a giant bear scuttling towards you like a spider.
This is just the beginning, though, as I’m sure that there are plenty more of these in the works. You may think that my image for this post is a joke, but oh no, someone is actually working on a dragon riding mod. So, Skyrim PC gamers, what do you think? Any of these mods catch your fancy? Anything that blew your mind? I didn’t think that the water in this game could get any nicer looking, but I learned a thing or two from these mods.

I’m loving Skyrim on the PS3, but if I can afford my friends’ PC he wants to sell, this will be the first thing I get for it so I can have this whole experience. Modding is so amazing.
well there’s everything else and then there’s f-ing dragon riding. like this game wasn’t good enough and already destroying my life. multiple graphics improvements already, some seriously awesome tweaks, HD textures is gonna be a must, The modding community for this game is damn fantastic!
I’d like to grab some of these, but as I’m playing on a laptop I’m worried about them not running properly and screwing up my game. I’m happy with the basic version anyway.
And just when I was starting to venture back into society again.
Well, suppose I’d better stock up on rations for the next few weeks.
Definitely grabbing all of these tonight. Except maybe the spider bears – not sure about anyone else, but I found that video much creepier than the actual spiders.
