Skyrim player 3D scans himself into the game, executes himself immediately, and invades Dark Souls for good measure: “Wanted to get a video of me decapitating myself”

Skyrim.

Plenty of real people have been modded into games over the years, but relatively few people have made very literal self-insert mods to add themselves into their favorite games. Modder, game-trotter, Twitch streamer, and Skyrim player Orcpics has done just that, getting full mileage out of a personal 3D scan.

The mod bastion that is Skyrim first brought this to my attention. In a post to the Skyrim Reddit, Orcpics shared that he'd modded his 3D scan into Bethesda's iconic RPG as an armor set, which could then be equipped to NPCs or his own playable character in order to dress them up as himself – or at least a PS1-era version of himself. "I knew just the NPC for the job," he said.
