由柏拉图重新发布

天际 has plenty of oddities. There’s the goldfish memory of your enemies, the way you can get good enough at pickpocketing to literally steal the shirt off someone’s back, and how it’s possible for NPCs to attain a level of narrative importance sufficient to 避免死亡。 But those are nothings. Trifles. Mere bagatelles compared to the game’s most major inconsistency: The pheasants.

Think about it. Pheasants are all over the place in Skyrim, but only ever as corpses. They hang in kitchens and linger in food halls, but you can count the number of living ones you see on no hands at all. Are we to believe that the denizens of Skyrim, like the hunters of the Dodo, reduced the region’s pheasant population to a set of cold bodies and warm memories? How long have they been gone? Are those corpses you can take giblets from decaying by the time the game takes place?

把这些不愉快的想法从你的脑海中抛开，因为《天际》模组制作者再次来到这里，以保持逻辑并拯救世界。一个名为 Ring-necked Pheasants – Mihail Monsters and Animals returns the humble pheasant to its natural home: Skyrim’s wilderness, not its pantries.

创作者，米哈伊尔模组, is serious about their craft, too. Their mods are “implemented in an immersive and unique way, with respect to the pillars of lore,” they say, emphasising that “instead of pathetically just throwing models and textures in the game reusing 100% vanilla mechanics, the creatures made by Mihail have uniqueness and extreme zeal in their idealization and implementation, which will provide you with an experience that you have never had before in this area”. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

It honestly looks great. The author is clearly something of an ornithological artist, and the pheasant they’ve rendered for Skyrim (including its older 传奇版）坦率地说是奢华的。他趾高气扬，打扮得漂漂亮亮，傍晚的阳光在他彩虹色的羽毛上翩翩起舞，就像在一池清澈的水面上一样。它们甚至会发出野鸡般的叫声。

I mean really, just compare the game’s stock (dead) birds with MihailMods’ version below. There’s no contest.

Don’t worry, you can replace the usual dead pheasants with MihailMods’ version using 不同的模式.

You might think I’m poking fun, but I’m not. MihailMod’s bird really is exquisitely rendered, and has ensured that I won’t be able to play Skyrim ever again without the peculiar absence of living pheasants sticking in my craw. Mods like these—tiny, hyper-particular things that fix issues that only a vanishing percentage of players are likely to have—might truly be my favourite kind. And if you need more bird variants in your Skyrim playthrough, you can always throw in the 小鸡和鸡变种来自同一作者的模组。
