The Skyrim mod community thrives on creating features and situations that add something to gameplay, whether it adds a game mechanic like this one or lets the player adopt cats. A lot of modders begin by asking a question starting with 'what if?' and Grasscid's 'End Times' mod asks 'What if the Dragonborn prophecy's success wasn't guaranteed?' The mod timer is customizable, but puts the player on a strict timeframe to defeat the dragon before he shows up and starts trying to destroy the world. However, one of these mods actually discourages lengthy playtimes by starting an apocalypse timer when the player starts up the game. This replay value is only increased by the huge amount of Skyrim mods available. Anyone who has played The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim can tell you how vast the game's open world is and how much time can be sunk into side quests.
