The Really Quite Nice Cave (Beta 0.1, join the mailing list!) was nothing but a time machine that sent my mind reeling back to the original Dungeon Master. I eagerly set to work with the standard Nordic kit, splashed down lots of corridors and a couple of chambers, eagerly fired up the game and. There are several packs of these available, each broken into specific pieces like walls, corner pieces and doorways designed to fit perfectly against each other. Creating an indoor area for instance, like a cave or a house, is simply a question of clicking together prebuilt blocks. Middle Earth: A Ninja's Love Story.' Needless to say, what I ended up with was more on the lines of 'A Really Quite Nice Cave, Even If I Do Say So Myself.' At least it was a cave with no bloody giant spiders in it, making me both a better level designer and human being than whichever arachnophobe hating sadist created Skyrim's tutorial dungeon.Īpproached cold, Creation Kit is an unusual tool - often finicky, but surprisingly forgiving.

The master data file is locked down and you don't get to mess with it. The good news is that nothing you do in Creation Kit can break the main game - at least, not permanently. It's all there to be played with, and in case you haven't noticed, Skyrim is a pretty big game. It's the same tool that Bethesda itself used to create Skyrim (at least, officially - there's always a chance it just pressed a big red 'Make Game' button and this is all a big ruse) and opening it up is to see the whole thing laid out in front of you.
Make no mistake, the Creation Kit is amazing - but it's also incredibly intimidating. Did I have what it took to be its master? I tinkered a bit with the previous version in Fallout: New Vegas, but that game's world of radioactive dirt and cold metal simply has nothing on the epic sweeps of Tamriel's chilliest corner.
Skyrim is a world I've spent many, many hours exploring, questing my way through, and burning fools with fireballs for my own amusement and sometimes justice. Specifically, sitting down with a pen to watch a couple of hours worth of YouTube videos created by Bethesda, with the goal of transforming its Creation Kit from "Oh my god." to "Oh, I see!"
