Skyrim Can Now Be Beaten While Carrying A Cat Around

Skyrim fans can now carry a cat with them throughout the game’s main quest and beyond, as reported by TheGamer. The outlet’s message is clear: “Ever wanted to carry a kitty around the lands of Skyrim? Now you can.” The headline suggests players can complete the game with a cat in tow.

The available information is light on specifics. It doesn’t mention a creator, explain how the feature works, or detail the installation process. For those interested in the finer points, check out TheGamer’s full write-up before diving in.

This news comes as Skyrim continues to generate buzz, 15 years after its November 2011 launch. Bethesda Game Studios’ RPG currently has 28,887 active players on Steam. It boasts a Metacritic score of 94, along with a 91% positive rating from 223,441 Steam reviews.

Recent weeks have seen a steady stream of Skyrim headlines. On October 13, we shared that the game Gets Three PS5 Expansions in Its Biggest DLC Drop in Years. Just two days later, Spellogger gained attention for blending Stardew Valley farming with Skyrim’s fantasy elements. The cat-carrying challenge fits this trend: players keep discovering new ways to push the boundaries of a game that’s still priced at $39.99 on Steam.

Community Pulse

Overall, community sentiment about Skyrim seems mixed across the 10 signals we monitored, with modding being a point of contention. One dissatisfied Steam reviewer expressed frustration, saying Bethesda keeps “releasing these damn patches that break all user-made mods, and they continue to push paid mods through ‘Creations.'” This particular review appeared three times in our dataset, indicating one frustrated perspective rather than three distinct voices. However, it highlights the ongoing tension: players appreciate the creativity of the mod scene but worry about how updates impact it.

What To Watch

• Full details on the cat feature: Keep an eye out for confirmation on the creator, the installation method, and any compatibility notes.
• Update compatibility: Bethesda’s past patches have disrupted mods, so see if this addition withstands the next update.
• Player count movement: With new PS5 expansions released and trending community projects, the current figure of 28,887 concurrent Steam players serves as a solid baseline for potential growth.
