This Skyrim mod turns the Forsworn into ass-kicking ninjas

According to scientific theories, such as those in Popular Mechanics, it’s estimated that the last particle in the known universe will decay after 10²⁰⁰ years (a long time, basically). However, I reckon people will still be modding Skyrim. You just can’t stop the unbridled tenacity of gamers.

Here’s one more for all you hip cats to add to your TES5 loadout. Remember when ninjas were all the rage in pop culture? Well, Nexus Mods user Q10isarobot is bringing them to Skyrim. Replacing the rebellious Forsworn, these NPCs now know kung fu. Or something like that.

This mod changes all the Forsworn outfits for the more traditional ninja getup. This also includes giving them weapons worthy of any stealth warrior. Check them out in the video above, although it’s pretty clear the player is more than capable of dispatching them. Look at all that blood!

Nin-ja or Nin-nein?

The reason why the Forsworn have been replaced with ninjas is, according to Q10isarobot, because they “fight kinda like ninjas and hang out in clans so I think it fits well in the game.” Makes sense, though they do admit they’re not a lore expert when it comes to Skyrim.

This also looks like a good mod for anyone who doesn’t want to interrupt their current save file. The creator says it just replaces the mesh, so it’s “safe to install or uninstall,” and also doesn’t require an ESP file for expanding scripting.

Right. Okay. We’ve played and modded The Elder Scrolls 5 for quite a long time now. When’s the sixth game coming out? No, I will not stop harping on about this.
