(Mikado's POV)

It was a normal day for me, play the Elder Scrolls 6, wich I was the leading programmer and main criative director. I used to be a modder for Skyrim, but my mods called the attentin of the Bethesda, so they hired me to work on the next game.

Oh, wich mod I created, you ask? Well, I created the Ultra Reality mod for Skyrim. In m mod, you could forge your wepons, choose the desingn, the damage(depending on the materials), etc. For exemple, let's suppose that you want to create a... i don't know, the blade of Artorias, from Dark Souls.

You can. First, you must be asured that you have the skill to do it properly. Next, choose the materials. I also added some materials, like mithril, adamatium, etc. Well, the strongest metal still is the daedric. Then, in the forge, you will acess a menu where you will make the blade. And when I mean make the blade I mean acess a easy to understand menu with various options of design.

then, after you are done with the design, you will choose the damage caused, wich will be limited by the material that you are using. Of course, your skill interferes a lot in that part. The stronger the material, the better will be the wepon. You can also mix materials and create brand new ones, if you have the right items.

Oh, and the materials also have properties, like mithril that has a weaker phisical damage, but is stronger when used with magic or enchantments. The categiries are simple, like short-ranged wepons or long ranged wepons. If you have enought patience, you can create your own categories. I remember when i waw a guy that was able to reproduce a handgun.

From that, you can imagine how much freedom the mod gave to you, to create and design your own magics in-game, armors, items, etc. I also added a system where you can create your own Animunculi, the dwarven automatons, like the centurions.

And you aren't limited to the dwarven design, you can create one of deadric metal and it's exactly like an wolf and can be used as a mount. You can also create your own shouts using already existing words.

Basically, I created another game. In the span of one year. Exactly, I am what you can call a genius in game programs. Well, that's not the story of how I discovered my talent, but a story that happened after I died and reincarnated on my character of my modded game in Skyrim, Mika, a male character.
