As the graphics are totally new, it also looks a great deal better than the original Skyrim mod. On top of the dialogue’s wonderfully writing, is the strong voice acting.
You walk around the city freely, making inquiries to the townsfolk or sneaking around to dig up dirt. The magistrate wants you to find out who’s going to sin in order to stop them and save the city before it’s too late. Your arrival was foretold, so he’s expecting you. Shortly after arriving, you’re taken to see the city’s magistrate. You happened to see a bunch of gold statues on your way to the portal, so, yeah. But, the basic gist is that this city follows a rule: if anyone sins, everyone in town will turn into a gold statue. Similarly, the dialogue is new and loaded with major differences. As such, each character has a different name and the level design received noticeable changes. In a fairly major pivot, The Forgotten City takes place in our world and the portal leads to an underground city in Rome, albeit two thousand years ago. Also, he is an old man when he should not be. You do what she asks and head in, only to find him after he had hanged himself. She cannot do this herself because of reasons, not that you can ask her why to begin with.
The game starts with a woman who saves you from a river and then asks that you head into some ruins to find a guy named Al.
Unsurprisingly, all of that is different in this version. Talking to her resulted in a request to find a missing person, which ended up putting the Dragonborn through a portal that led them to the past. The Forgotten City originally started with the Dragonborn finding a letter which led them to a woman standing by a well. Suffice to say, if you’re expecting an identical experience, you absolutely won’t find it here, as this is quite different. A reimagined, standalone version of the mod is coming out next month, and I got to check it out ahead of time. It also won a Writer’s Guild award in 2016. It originally debuted in 2015 and since then, has been downloaded millions of times. I can’t think of another Skyrim mod that has become a proper game in its own right, so I’m going to assume that The Forgotten City is probably the first.
