If there’s one thing that can be said about video game fans, it’s that they are dedicated, using skills to faithfully recreate something from their favorite franchises, often using another game’s engine. Take, for example,Far Cry 5, in whichone user took three years to recreateGoldeneye64 in Ubisoft’s engine, which was initially removed by the company before being re-uploaded under a different name. People seem keen to use this particular engine to do all sorts of creative things.
Recently, a user on Reddit who goes by the name of u/mojoswoptops2020 has uploaded an image which, at first glance, appears to show the interior of Breezehome fromThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim. However, what’s actually being shown is that same home but created inFar Cry 5with stunning attention to detail, which has almost fooled the people commenting on the post.

With such finesse that’s gone into recreating Breezehome, it’s difficult to tell the difference between the original and thismodded interpretation of the famousSkyrimhome. Many users in the thread have commented about how incredibly detailed this version is, with some adding that they find it hard to believe that what they’re seeing isn’t just a screenshot fromSkyrimitself.
Some have even jokingly suggested that this wasn’t actually made in theFar Cry 5engine, but was actually a product of ENB. For those who don’t know, ENB stands forEnhanced Natural Beauty and is a way of modifying the graphics ofSkyrimby upgrading the game’s post-processing effects, such as Anti-Aliasing. However, what u/mojoswoptops2020 has created is something which is a near-perfect simulacra of a popularElder Scrollslocation. The fact that many are so impressed that they can barely believe what they’re seeing is a testament to the user’s sheer skill and eye for detail.
This is also not the first time theFar Cry 5engine, called the Dunia engine, has been used by fans to recreate something from another franchise with immense fidelity. Back in May this year, anotherplayer managed to build the ship from theMandalorian, paying particular attention to the scale of the ship. LikeSkyrim’s Breezehome, this creation is painstakingly accurate, and it’s fan-made content like this which goes to show just how talented the community is and how dedicated it is to not only in terms of the games being played, but also the ways in which it incorporates other titles to show love for other franchises.
Far Cry 5is available now for PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
