No sooner said than done, and of course it ends up the way it always has to be on the internet: instead of following friendly words that fit a fantasy role-playing game Memes, Insults and lots of absurd ones Statementswhich make the streamer regret the mod a little bit.
This is what Skyrim would sound like if the Twitch chat wrote dialogues
The basis for Blurb's mod is relatively simple: every subscriber to his Twitch channel can have one Message maximum 300 characters long Write, specify a gender and voice tone and then send it in. The mod then implements what is said into the world of The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim using a text-to-speech tool.

Of course, it didn't take long for the Twitch chat to be the way it is.

What Blurbs didn't fully reveal before: If an NPC dies that was set to music by a user, then that person was used for the chat banned for five minutes. There was always a bit of a risk that the streamer might pull out the sword out of revenge for what was said. After the mod reached the “maximum level of dumbing down,” according to Blurbs, he regretted his decision and issued a tongue-in-cheek apology on Twitter for his idea.
