alt Hacker NewsIKEA made a mod for Skyrim [video]

The concept reminds of Chex Quest, a Doom total conversion based on Chex, the cereal brand.
I loved playing it when I was 8 or so.
I watched a bit of someone's play through and was impressed by how much content there actually was for a one-off bit like this. I would have assumed they would have just made enough content to make for a funny ad but there's quite a lot of scripted storyline and voice acting.
I normally dislike shameless brand crossovers, but this faux low-budget, yet-another-janky-mod vibe... they committed to the bit. I can't hate it.
I was wondering what compelled Bethesda to update the game a few weeks ago, the first time in two years. On PC, any update to the game breaks mods that rely on DLL modification, so you'd expect them to be wary of doing it for no reason. Maybe improving support for this was the impetus.
Play a game long enough and the main challenge becomes inventory management. I look forward to the IVAR update.
This makes me want to go back into Skyrim. I moved to another country when this came out and had no friends at the beginning, so Skyrim was my evening plan, and I was fortunate enough to have an Xbox 360 back in the day.
That game though...the cottage near Riverwood with the "nice old lady" who turns out to be a necromancer once you break into her cellar. There are not many games like this. Pure gold.
Funny, but I hope it doesn't catch on. This genre of games is rather free from ads and the last thing we need is corporations shoving their marketing agenda into classics.
Best thing I saw on hacker news in a while.
Hahaha this is Twoflower’s luggage
Fun fact: IKEA is a plural. One element of an IKEA is referred to as an IKEUM.
One of the known bugs in skyrim that will likely never be patched is that you realistically can't fill a room with cheese wheels, cabbage, bottles of wine or any other static objects (in a cell that persists items, like in an owned house). It's already hard enough to put an object on a table or shelf and expect to not find it on the floor if you leave and come back.
Add enough objects to keep track of and it'll crash the game immediately on loading the cell. Some of the examples of cluttered objects in the video are already pushing the limits of what will crash the game engine.
Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for a mod that gives mustaches to mudcrabs.
The mudcrabs are a proud and fancy race!
Toast, can you hear me? This is Clem Fandango.
Skyrim has to be one of the most modded games out there, with maybe only Minecraft being up there in terms of mods. Its probably also the biggest game out there when it comes to... lets just say nsfw mods.

I keep looking over my shoulder to the pair of KALLAX behind me ever since I watched this, just to check if they budge.
They should call it "Bagaget" which translates to "The Luggage" and put lots of small feet under it. Those who read Discworld will know what I'm talking about.
this is hilarious, great humor but can it handle end game bosses?
I wanted to install it, but the instructions were just a bunch of pictures.
I can think of no one better to be the VO for a sentient shelf.

Why and how it remains available, only Google knows!
in my country ikea product sold as luxury product ..
Pure marketing genius
Do you think someone at IKEA had the idea and they hired someone to do it, or did someone have the idea and made it, and then talked IKEA into making it official?
this is fantastic marketing aimed at the demographic now shopping around for furniture
Cut the cardboard crap. Make Billy great again!

Just a reminder that they are a corporation and to not fall for their PR. They are actively destroying the environment while paying as little tax as possible. The cheapness of their furniture does have externalities one needs to consider.
IKEA bullied the developer of the indie game The Store is Closed into gutting the whole game. [0]
It’s a shame how people can even acknowledge, let alone applaud IKEA’s “funny” gaming-related ad after their successful meddling with SCP folklore, not to speak of the chilling effect their actions may have had on indie gaming.
