The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim's world is bursting with content. Millions of players have devoted
the last 11 years in this area of the much wider Tamriel continent that the series is set in,
battling dragons, slaying bandits, completing quests, and generally exploring it as one of the
most adored open-world games in the present environment. The focus isn't always on
action and swordfights, though. Sometimes gamers desire to change the world, especially
those who are more interested in academic endeavours.

According to PCGamesN, a user by the name of Zamio1 has developed a hack for Skyrim
that enables users to publish academic papers and contribute to research. The Dragonborn
can take a break from their wild adventures and work with some of the game's prominent
academics, such Paarthurnax, to develop their general research and writing skills in a mode
called Scholarship of Skyrim. Depending on what the player chooses to research, doing so
does appear to result in improved fighting skills.

Research on The Elder Scrolls Dwemer race, which supposedly vanished but left behind
their technology, is one thing that can be done. Also available are the options to write a
thesis about the Falmer or the Old Nords. The Dragonborn can generate better novels as
writing and academic skills rise. The mod description claims that the setting can also affect
results. For instance, players will have access to a wide selection of books when they are at
the Arcanaeum, the library in the College of Winterhold. However, it appears that carrying
out fieldwork is as crucial.

In Skyrim, there are numerous intriguing novels. Many of these are simply there to be read
and offer a variety of tales and historical descriptions of prior occasions, giving fans the
chance to learn more than what is depicted in-game. There are, however, certain talent
books that, when opened, boost a specific skill. However, Zamio1's version seems special
because it allows players to put on a figurative tweed jacket and conduct some serious
academic research.

This kind of add-on is probably the reason the game is still popular after more than a
decade. The community is saturated with a lot of bright teams and individuals that are eager
to expand the already quite huge world thanks to a lot of interesting mods available, like the
one that enables Skyrim players cast magic with a lute.
