Well, the Bethesda Account requirement meme has yet to die out. If anything, it’s gotten stronger. Especially because, thanks to a mod made by d3sim8, it has made the leap to Bethesda’s most ported game, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

In case it was unclear, this mod is a joke. Bethesda re-released DOOM/DOOM II and DOOM III in July 2019, and they required a Bethesda.net connection to play. This was despite DOOM being 26 years old, and not including an online component (in this particular version).

This mod is specifically tailored to providing Skyrim users with an authentic modern Bethesda experience.

The game will always fail to connect to Bethesda.net. After 5 tries it will quit to the main menu. This mod only works with a new game, as it is possible it could break things otherwise.

Cheers.

Note that the mod is only available for the PC version of the game. That said, it can be downloaded in both vanilla and Special Edition flavors.

Thankfully, Bethesda is working to patch out the problem in their DOOM ports. But until then, you can enjoy not making it through the first cutscene in Skyrim over and over again as a joke.
