TheElder Scrolls 5: Skyrimcommunity is one that is very keen to get as much out of the game as possible. Despite being a decade old this year, the game is still thrilling players old and new. Withmods that completely change the epic open world RPG, to people cosplaying as their favorite NPCs, it’s a hugely popular installment of the long running franchise. In fact, some people love the game so much, that they want to recreate aspects of it in other titles, as one fan has done.
In a recent post on theValheimSubreddit, user Vinrenu uploaded a short video that shows how builder u/Hey0ItsMayo constructed the city of Whiterun fromSkyrimin the independent Viking-themed online game. The four-minute clip shows the player walking through the original, with edits that show the same part as reimagined inValheim, effectively doing a side-by-side comparison. The result is an impressively accurate facsimile of the large Tamriel settlement.

The recreation has received a lot of praise in the thread, with many offering words of congratulations on a job well done. One user inquired about theWhiterun Skyforge bird, which was carved directly into the stone, and is the place where the blacksmith Eorlund Gray-Mane beavers away at his work. When asked whether they’d used debug mode, Vinrenu said it was actually built by another user, who is an active member on the Valheim server that was used to make the Whiterun replica. It suggests that the project was a team effort. Another commenter expressed disbelief that their work seems to have gone a little underappreciated, especially given the skill that’s gone into it.
The original Whiterun is one of the most popular locations inThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim. While it’s not the first town that players are likely to come across during a new playthrough, that’s usually Riverwood, but it’s almost certainly one of the biggest cities that fans will likely encounter first. More often than not, it’s a city that will be returned to, particularly as it houses such things as traders, blacksmiths, a house for sale, Dragonsreach where the Jarl resides, and all manner ofSkyrimtaverns including the Bannered Mare.
WithValheimgetting the Hearth and Home update soon, the survival sandbox game became hugely successful in such a short time, having only been out since February 2021. Both this andSkyrimare thematically similar,what with the Viking aesthetic, although the former is very much tied to the real lore, whereas the former is more generally inspired by it.
The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimis available on PC, PS3, PS4, Switch, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
