There's a new witch-themed mod for Skyrim that will appeal to fans of both the 2011 epic RPG and Doctor Who, particularly as the custom content features the latter's infamous Weeping Angel statues. While it's definitely not a horror game by any stretch of the imagination, The Elder Scrolls 5 does have its creepy moments. Whether exploring Markarth's Hall of the Dead or seeing the entrance to the Dark Brotherhood sanctuary for the first time, Bethesda's open-world release can still send shivers down the spine.

While it's been out for over 11 years at this point, people are still drawn into the cold province of Tamriel. Much of that is down to the number of interesting mods created for Skyrim. A dedicated community of fans has seen it fit to keep the game in the best shape it can be by offering up a slew of custom content, including bug fixes, graphical upgrades, quality-of-life tweaks, and many new quests, areas, NPCs, and lines of dialog. Given just how many modifications are still coming out, it's no wonder many players remain interested in the game.

According to the mod's description, the quest can be started by talking to the Bee and Barb innkeeper, who is located in Riften.
