If you want to listen to the music from the BM dev diary, you can here on Hugh's SoundCloud (also features a FREE download link): soundcloud.com/hughturnerbristol/bm-dev-diary-music-01
Make viverna from Heroes of might and magic 3 and more animals from this Bog castle please
I'd like to adress to Hugh: Man, this track is a Jeremy Soul himself-level masterpiece, you have touched the exact feeling of TES universe. Ethernal sadness of the illusionary world. Be the Nine guide you on in your work
I gotta say this now, Will you release more beyond Skyrim mods for Special edition on console or will you just leave us with only bruma no offense to bruma but I’m just asking please I hope you can reply
Admirable efforts especially in the graphics but you're running out of time (who's going to want this after Elder Scrolls VI? A few, of course, but...) and the graphics are the little details. And this music isn't good - almost, but too repetitively monotonous, it becomes burdensome on the ear, needs to go somewhere.
Really though, roscrea ain't that big and still not done, ye we'll be in hammerfell by 2035 by this rate lmao.
TheEpicNate: "Black Marsh is only in planning."
Black Marsh:
I was puzzled when he said this.
Im gonna mod the hell out of skyrim when these mods will be released
@@O.M- Yep, me too. I really need to invest in a new PC, though.
Well I mean, he was not the only one to believe it, the BS team gave us a map about what was and was not being developed
@@sieghardtofcatarina7827
And Black Marsh was on it.
Can't believe you guys are doing Beyond Skyrim: Brazil
@Tattle Boad And Black Marsh is less dangerous

For example:
*ARGENTINA HAS THE BEST FOOTBALL TEAM IN THE ENTIRE WORLD!!*
Now watch as the chaos commences. ;P
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
ΛutistiЄ
I’d be angry if Uruguay played like they used to
Lol
Argonian build can finally have his home
Looking fantastic guys, big props to the team🔥
Ikr! Also love your videos man
Can't wait for skyblivion and skywind 🤜
Kinda wish you guys would've combined forces, the people from all three remakes and done one Skyblivion or Skywind, that way we could see it faster!!!!!!
SilentGamer do you know who your talking to 🤦🏻♂️🤣🤣your slow
@@silentgamer2434 show some respect to who your responding to fool.
I think this project has the best looks ngl. I'm a sucker for a marshy jungle open world.
I'm a sucker for ash-covered wastes (for some reason) but yeah, this looks beautiful.
yea Skywind looks really old
@Twisted Raven WIP
Also, plenty of herbivorous stuff and otherwise could munch on it.
Or just not a place susceptible to ivy.
Or maybe the ivy models are still being worked on and just weren't done for this video at the time of filming...
You'd love my ex. She had a very open, marshy jungle. Though wearing a bug net got frustrating.
@@gamerpoets uhhh
I love how this looks nothing like Skyrim, it's like a brand new game.
It’s an addition
$elfishbeats He knows. He’s just making a point how the Beyond Skyrim team is doing a amazing job at creating Tamriel. So great in fact it doesn’t even look like Skyrim. Hopefully I explained whta Johto was trying to convey.
It’s Clem Time!! I know but to disjoint it as it being “like a new game” instead of being a huge expansion of something already collectively massive
$elfishbeats I’d argue it’s closer to a “new game” by the pure fact that these guys aren’t being paid. In other words, it’s a passion project. A lot of love and time is going into this operation. I’ve seen much worse asset flips on the steam store.
I disagree. It still very much has the same look and feel, same lighting, and plenty of reused meshes. None of that's a bad thing per se, but it's far from looking like a new game. It still manages to look very cold and remote, despite being the tropics, which is a result of Skyrim's inherent lighting.
ahh yes, florida
No it's Louisiana ..
Ah yes, americans
@@Im_finna shut up why are you so ignorant
@@slipknotfan3341 touch a nerve?
I'd say it's more like Brazil and Australia, and modern Africa.
Good to see that the Black Marsh project is still alive and progressing nicely from the looks of it.
The province certainly is, *alive*
That Big Reptile... Man, Absolutely impressive. Great job guys!
The Wamasu? They said it was extinct: I knew better.
I've done all but literally sew my mouth shut to keep silent about that as I've watched it in development. Now the baby is out in the open.
@@nicholasmullins3693
And the animations are awesome.
I'm still impressed.
Couldn't stop watching it when I saw it first.
@@T4GTR43UM3R Not just awesome. These are mind blowing. Never seen anything close to that fluidity in any Skyrim mod. Absolutely blew me away.
i love the way it moves XD i know i should be afraid but i want it to be my pet
Black marsh and Atmora are by far the projects I'm most excited for. As much as I can't wait to revisit the Imperial City and drown in nostalgia, I can't wait for these two the most
the Imperial city is located in Cyrodiil!)
I'm most excited to visit Hammerfell and it's Alik'r Desert!!
@@leonkennedy7357 i know, i was saying im excited for all projects, bm and atmora are just what im MOST excited for
@@DoctorWhoKage im just so excited for it all tbh lol
I'm most excited for Elsweyr and BM myself! Betmer for the win.
But I'm absolutely exploring every inch of every province many times over. I'm beyond hyped for every single one.
Bethesda: *Hasn't put out any news about The Elder Scrolls 6 since the announcement*
Meanwhile, Beyond Skyrim:
ES6 won't out until after Starfield is released.
Modder vs developers. Apples vs oranges.
Hmm, a lot of people think that Bethesda doesn't have standards, because of the car wreck that is 76... :/
@@Alex34567 I mean objectively it's harder for Devs because they don't get paid all that much and the execs force them to rush and cut corners alot of the time. Meanwhile most modders might not get paid but they have the support of other modders and the community and don't have executives riding them like horses. Game developers are notoriously overworked and underpaid, it's a miracle they can create anything even vaguely creative or inspiring given how they are treated by upper management.
Bet they're waiting for them all of them to release and make it official Lore without even paying the beyond skyrim teams.
Custom rigs and animations...
I really, really hope the experimentation pays off, it would be INCREDIBLE to finally face off against some brand-new foes.
And if it does pay off, I hope the other Beyond Skyrim teams make some of their own!
Oh they are. I'm personally most excited for the Dro-m'Athra of Elsweyr. Their movement is going to be straight out of a horror game.
I just hope I can pat everything.
We've been spoiled left and right here, people! It's good to be a part of the Elder Scrolls' community.
Not only does this look great, it both looks *different* and at the same time, a perfect fit for the TES5 stock asset collection.
It looks like a different game designed by the same people at the same time.
I love how its all swamp jungle but it's all distinct, unique and interesting looking different kinds of swamp jungle.
They struck a perfect balance between Black Marsh being a giant swamp but still having diverse environments.
I like how animated the lightning lizard is. I kinda wish that the animals in Skyrim were that lively. But they have like two animation phases. Just don't tell the Black Marsh team or they might decide to leave the cool animation out in order to make Black Marsh seem more vanilla compatable and I need that animated lizard in my life.
My only criticism of this is that it makes Black Marsh look more like a tropical rain forest rather than a dense swamp. Then again, I'm sure the edges of the province would look like that while the inner lands are more hostile toxic swamps as described.
Indeed. These are all border lands. So there will be transitions into the murk and ultimately, the deep marsh.
@@nicholasmullins3693 Hopefully.
It feels like I’m drowning in pure art. The care these guys have truly shows in this project.

patrolling the Blackmarsh almost makes you wish for Skyrim's winter
wow...animations are wow.. custom animations/rigs
That's a hard maybe. Currently, custom animations and rigs are impossible. But they have some people (who I think are professional programmers?) who are looking into finding a way to circumvent the Creation Kit's limitations in that regard.
@@michaelhenry3234 huh I thought they were just having a hard time finding capable animators
@@kubli365 nah, they exist.
@@michaelhenry3234 custom animations and rigs aren't impossible. Custom behaviours are. The animations are just...
A really hard nut to crack.
So 10 years from now when all the various Beyond Skyrim projects are done, I'm gonna be looking for a pickup group of 3-7 other people to play "Skyrim Together" on a modded difficulty setting and using the Ordinator skilltree overhaul mod. Who's with me?
The Wamasu is absolutely adorable
We need a pet wamasu feature
I said this once I'll say it again.
Once all of BYS projects are finished. This'll be the mod that ends all mods. Just like Legacy of the Dragonborn is the mod our load order is built around today. Soon this'll be the mod(s) we build our load order around. If your mod isn't compatible with BYS then it probably won't make the cut haha.
Legacy of the Dragonborn is too tedious for me. I've explored and plundered Skyrim's dungeons enough, and won't continue for some ancient artifact I have no relation to. Always need a bigger land, and a sense of actual culture, not this Scotland nonsense.
@@nagihangot6133 hey that's fair. As a completionist myself I love LotD. A area where I can put all artifacts and u unique armor/weapons in the base game along with most major mods is an amazing thing for me. Just like with anything it won't please everyone.
I'm sure there's a group of people who don't much care for Beyond Skyrim projects
@@nagihangot6133 Dont worry, Odyssey of the Dragonborn will do just that. It adds a couple of new areas, nothing as big as Beyond Skyrim, but a couple of quest that makes you travel around tamriel. Its the sequel to LotD. I still recommend keeping LotD in your mod order as it adds dozens of weapons and armors you could use (even if you dont want to collect).
Our load order is built around Requiem, not LotD. Also, this mod won't end all mods, moreover this mod will need Requiem patch to be playable.
@@wojtulacehoe5089 So True. I'm extremelly excited for BS, but without the Requiem treatment, then there is no way to play it.
I love the music in this! It sounds like meditating under the jungle canopy.
Thank you Alex!
@@hugoturner2718 Yeah it's really great Hugh! Some time ago you had two tracks on your soundcloud page that were labeled Black Marsh Soundtrack but the style didn't catch me, it didn't feel right.
The sneak peak (or whatever I should call it) that's played here in this Dev Diary is extremely catchy and great to engage the feeling of the mysterius swamp-jungle, the melancoly from the hard past that's within everything of the land... My English isn't good enough to describe my thoughts and impressions any further... ;)
Really great job! I hope you have all the inspiration to compose and the time to work on it so we get to hear more of it soon! I'll follow you on Soundcloud now!
Lewan B. Yeah I agree, those older tracks never really hit the mark for myself, and thus are no longer being used. I much prefer this new style I’m going for - it’s more in keeping with my usual wheelhouse of songwriting - so I’m glad to hear you enjoyed it to!
It's a great soundtrack, but it really doesn't have that jungle atmosphere. :/
@@utisti4976 I wouldn't like it if it was just jungle music. It has to have its own style like the soundtracks of every province in Tamriel. Skyrims soundtrack isn't just nordic viking type music and thats what makes it so unique and so so great. I think that Hugh Turner can accomplish the same here. Creating a jungle-swamp-ish soundtrack but no copy paste stuff and something unique instead!
I really look forward to playing this! Love the Beyond Skyrim stuff!
POGGERS
Can't wait to see you play it!
IT'S YOU! THE GRAND CHAMPION
Beyond SKyrim continues to be the most impressive undertaking out there, and Black Marsh is shaping up to be a beautiful but deadly area. Keep up the good work yall!
"So strange this place, so far from the Marsh."
It's nice to see the Saxhleel get some love, and I eagerly await to laugh in the face of the warmbloods who try following me inward.
Black marsh: *exists*
The dunmer: It's free real-estate
I think it is the opposite of that man....
The Red Mountain: Erupts
Argonians looking at Morrowind: It's free real estate
Argonians: exist
Dunmer: it's free real estate
The Deadlands of Merunes Dagon: *exists*
Hist and Argonians: "it's free real estate"
I mean these days I think Dunmer don't have time to do that...not openly anyway. Sure old families will likely cling to slavery. But Morrowind is in dire circumstances and trying to openly practice slavery at present is pretty laughable. In little isolated communes maybe and the Telvanni probably have a few places going for them. But the majority of Morrowind is kinda literally struggling to breathe.
I want to see Helstrom, the very center of Black Marsh. In a lot of the lore writings it is described as dark and festering and impassable to any human or mer. Sounds cozy.
My first run in Skyrim was as an Argonian, and I've been waiting to go to Black Marsh for like forever
This is beyond insane, I lose breathe whenever I see the progress made. Hats off to everyone who worked on the project 🤘
I just want to say thank you, to everyone there for putting in so much effort to build such an amazing mod. I’ve recently been playing beyond Skyrim: Bruma and it’s absolutely amazing, so just well done and thanks so much for working so hard.
Why are you here, cat, get back to the plantation!
buildings paint looks like a Caribbean or New Orleans
@Audawarduz Ehwazswerda and the humidity!
Its AC Black Flag all over
@адепт ктулху more like assassin Creed Liberation
btw, this vid made me miss Black Flag, and now I'm replay it :3
My dream of walking from High Rock to Black Marsh is getting closer and closer each day.
Screw being the Dragonborn, I want to peddle my wares from Daggerfall to Archon, swapping tales and battling goblins on the roads of Tamriel....mite need to boost my speed, and carry weight...
I always play with infinite carryweight, haha, it's the one cheat I allow myself. Can't handle playing without it.
@@BrightEmber I have the Legacy of the Dragonborn mod installed and my hording urges just rise up so much I am like "console command on annnnd now I can carry a mountain"
@@BrightEmber Both of you: Use one of those carriage mods [Dragonkiller Cart]. In one of my playthroughs I was a villager of Ivarstead, a lumberjack. And rode to Riften to sell whatever I crafted or hunted/skinned, with my own, very rideable, wagon, that contained all my goods.
@BlazedKnifeBlades Talking Statue of Mara: "Choose where your new life will begin"
Me: "I am a caravan guard about to leave the Imperial City"
Mara: "To where to you travel to?"
*Massive list of provinces and cities across the world comes up*
Bethesda: *doesn't release an Elder Scrolls game for almost more than a decade*
Modders: "Fine, I'll do it myself" *shows off five Elder Scrolls games at once*
Damn, i didnt think Black Marsh would see the light of day but this honestly looks amazing guys.
In particular, the soundtrack bits you showcased here - each one instantly popped in my head as rememberable, iconic and evoking of something very defined - something i haven't felt 100% convincingly from the other projects. Good luck & good work
Glad you enjoyed the music Jackson, thanks for watching/listening!
This looks so amazing! I might have missed them but I'm excited to see how you guys implement the Hist trees! Also the effort that you guys are taking to create custom rigs for new creatures truly elevates this mod above many other mods due to the difficulty of that task. I wish you the best of luck and I look forward to your next dev diary, devs of Black Marsh :)
Ever since I heard about Beyond Skyrim, I’ve been hoping to see what you’d do with this!
This is the best looking Skyrim mod I’ve ever seen. The environments are amazing.
A big win for the Lizard Gang
This is looking amazing so far!! As someone who unironically loves playing Argonians, I'm happy to see some more mods about them/their lore.
Hope the BS teams are doing well during these crazy times, y'all keep up the amazing work!!
I think for a lot of Elder Scrolls fans it really is an understatement how much we appreciate you folks. We know this is very difficult to make, but all of the effort you put into the little details really impresses upon us the idea that what we are waiting for is truly special to come. Please keep up this level of quality with the assurance that you folks really are appreciated.
Oh my god
I cant belive the first look/trailer for black marsh is finally out
I was even thinking about it today asking myself when the trailer will come
This is wonderful, thank you! I’m looking forward to the post production mods that people will add to beyond Skyrim.
I'm really looking forward to the shadow scale temples I hope there's some shadow scales left and that they didn't go extinct

Keep up the great work Beyond Skyrim and don’t listen to the people saying it’ll take forever, I plan on joining the arcane university once I complete my computer setup.
The time, dedication and love put into these Beyond Skyrim projects puts normal game developers to shame.
they do?
I mean they're so different it's you cant compare it
and making a game especially a 3a game is much harder then making a mod
let's not forget who made the modding kit as well
@@ciaranmck4469 Yes but if Bethesda had done a good job in the first place people wouldn't need to mod the game.
@@martinputt6421 ?
bro what's your logic morrowind is easily the best in the series yet thousands of people mod it
you do realise most of the mods add content not fix it so that just disproves what you said
and 6 years isnt enough time to make a game the is set in all of tamriel especially in 2011
Finally some news from Black Marsh. So IT IS in development. Good luck guys, all of you!
Words cannot even begin to describe how amazing this place looks
Amazing as always. The creatures and environments look unique and fun. Keep up the good work!
Mehrunes Dagon: *YO WHATSUP*
This like a Discovery Documentary.
And it is Awesome.
woohoo! always wanted to see the province of Blackmarsh! you guys are amazing!
It looks incredible! I sure hope we get to play all of these mods. It's a massive bit of work, and so even if some of the mods are never finished, you all have my thanks just for going for it. You folks are awesome! ^-^
This is amazing. Especially the music. Keep up the great work!

Wow. That Wamasu looks amazing. That is a whole new level of creativity. Bravo.
you guys are doing it all, im really impressed
Never knew they did a beyond Skyrim project for my room
Cyberpunk: I can generate hype with a few short videos.
Beyond Skyrim: Hold my lizard...
They're both great! ^w^
@Lagarto Branco how are we being bootlickers?
There's no denying these teams are very highly talented, and love what they're doing. All on their own available free time. I'll never be able to play any of this. Will have to rely on the LP'ers when the time comes... I hope. Great looking work, & thanks for the peek.
But why? Skyrim runs on toasters by now.
CUSTOM ANIMATION!
This was the project I was looking forward the most. Never thought it will see the sunlight, but here it is. Better than I imagined, purely fantastic. I just hope one day it'll be released!
How, this region looks totally amazing! Good work guys!
I honestly think Black Marsh is one of thr most underrated provinces, I love the place and am so happy that one day I can see it for myself!
This is by far the one I've been most excited for, and it looks absolutely amazing already! Keep the good work everyone.
I get goose bumps every time i watch these diary updates, Great work as always, these are the type of people that keep me playing Skyrim, much love to all modders!
OH MY GOSH YES!
This looks awesome! I’m surprised how much has been done! Truly amazing what this team is doing.
"This Wamasu has claws!"
The commitment to creating this is incredible, custom rigs and music just shows the commitment. Wish I could donate😔
This looks gorgeous! Great atmosphere
People keep saying it'll be years till these are all complete but the progress they've made and the following they've garnered is incredible, it feels like the whole journey is being expedited because of the constant recruiting and hard work. I can't wait to see these all complete, beautiful stuff.
Hell yeah!
From this first look, this is the one I'm most excited for. It's looking so good and so interesting so far!
Gideon kinda looks like a old western town were you'd find some cowboys
I think it is based of Singapor in the 1860s
picturing the "ARE YOU A COWBOY???" clip but instead of a peacock its an argonian
@@benhuber5615 it looks more like Nassau as we saw it in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag.
@@DoctorWhoKage makes sense since it used to be an Imperial colonial outpost and tradepost.
@@PyrusFlameborn was it ran by criminals, also? Because in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, we saw that Pirates established their own little settlement right under the British's noses long before the events of the game took place. And that's how Nassau began. Of course, the Empire might've been secretly allowing the criminals to set up shop in Gideon because maybe...they're Thieves Guild members? Yeah, that could work out. The Thieves Guild has always helped out the Empire from time to time and that's mainly because of their connections within the Blades (before they were disbanded by the Thalmor).
This is the most beautiful landscape i have every seen made in the skyrim engine.
That might be the most impressive thing I've seen so far from Beyond Skyrim. It's a sight to behold when in times of many would doubt our cultures competence, creativity, drive to create something so complex/ captivating / beautiful
Ps. But ofc gonna have a tough time deciding which to play, this or TESVI as we gonna be waiting to play them both prob the same time:D
The 3D assets and level design are increibly stunning! Keep up the fantastic work
As someone from Mississippi, I can say this is pretty much a mix of Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida.
Not Georgia, though.
That place is dryer than my humor.
I am absolutely stunned at the amazing work you all have put into this. It may only be a dev diary but already the concepts and world that's been shown just look absolutely incredible! I've always wanted to explore Black Marsh and can't wait to see further progress! Keep up the great work.
black marsh progress \0/
Another breath-taking glimpse into world of Beyond Skyrim & with each passing instalment my anticipation grow's.
Patience is a virtue, as they say.
Hats off for the team.
Wow it’s giving me a South-East Asian vibe...Great job u guys!
Ikr it's amazing
This looks amazing and for just a preview of very early development it looks like you guys really care as always. Very excited to see this project blossom. Thanks guys and gals at beyond skyrim and keep up the great work! Btw those custom rigs and animations look kickass good luck!
Doing Dibella's work....
new animation? the fact that they couldve used like werewolf or dragon animation but didnt, is fire as hell, you guys are lit

That custom animation is absolutely amazing its just stunning and so fluid and believable!
Among all mods I've ever seen, including other unreleased big projects, this one looks the most built from scratch and giving us a totally new ecosystem to explore. Bethesda does not deserve this amazing modding community.
can't believe I missed this, holy shit, looks amazing guys!

Actually wish we would get this as the setting for the next game.
This is stunning guys! I've been following your projects for some time and I have to say that I'm impressed beyond belief! Your devotion to each and every function in the mods make them extraordinary to witness (and likely play through, though my current rig can't support it). Attention to detail, level design, lore and creativity all make Beyond Skyrim incredible to see! I wish you guys luck going forward!
Yo: Ya saca alguna parte de beyond Skyrim!
BS: Obligame!!
I think this is the coolest location on the entire continent, glad to see you guys diligently working on it.
Need this sooo bad I love argonians
Looks AWESOME as a first look and ik it's just a first look
but it'd be nice to see some more glowing things.
Like glowing purple and orange plants and mist in swamps with like floating glowing spore things.
Like the concept arts u can find online.
Cuz so far looks like an awesome tropical swampy area but I'd love to see some more of the mystical things too like with the hist and stuff .
Great work guys! Keep it up
