It was beautiful, but it lacked something it was just a big empty stage. I started by building a big, sprawling, underground Dwarven city in ruins. When the Skyrim Creation Kit came out, I’d never made a mod before, but I’d been inspired by other modders like Someguy2000 and I was excited about learning how to do it. How did “The Forgotten City” first start? What was your original idea? PC users may already be deeply immersed in this murder mystery mod, but Xbox One users now have one great treat to look forward to. In this exclusive interview, we chat with Pearce about his artistic endeavors in the mod world.
And this year Pearce was awarded the Australian Writer’s Guild Award in Interactive Media for this beautiful project. Since it’s introduction onto the Xbox One, “The Forgotten City” has amassed over 115,000 downloads and counting. Dazzling, “The Forgotten City” would soon become one of the most popular gaming mods used in Skyrim. Nick Pearce took his once sprawling, empty city, and took the Skyrim community back in time. It’s his first mod, but when you traverse through this abandoned kingdom, you’ll think he’s done it for years.
