📋 About This Mod

The 337 books that Bethesda gave us in Skyrim held stories that made the whole world come alive. It wasn't just reading; it was like embarking on a mini-adventure within the game. Whether it was uncovering the lore of ancient civilizations or stumbling upon hidden tales of legendary battles, each book added a layer of richness to the gaming experience. At night, I would often rent a room in a tavern somewhere and read a few stories I had I had collected throughout my adventures before sleeping for the night.

Starfield brings a completely different vibe. There are just 53 books if you don't count the Dragonstar Force series and they feel more like placeholders than immersive elements. The stories lack the depth that made Skyrim's reading experience so captivating. In Skyrim, books were a key part of the adventure, but in Starfield, they are an afterthought, a missed opportunity to build upon this new world. It left me missing the excitement of uncovering hidden gems and discovering the world through the written word.

Books Revamped takes all those books that just included excerpts or didn't really add anything meaningful and updates them with actual stories.
