Delolder

Delolder is a term primarily associated with the video game *The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim*, referring to the act of removing or "deloding" the game's save files. This process involves editing or deleting the save game data to alter in-game elements such as character stats, items, or quest progress. Players often use deloding to achieve specific gameplay advantages, such as gaining access to powerful items, unlocking hidden content, or modifying character abilities without completing quests.

The practice gained popularity due to the game's modding community, which created tools and guides to facilitate deloding. Common modifications include increasing maximum health, strength, or magic values, adding or removing items from the inventory, or altering quest flags to skip or complete objectives. Some deloding techniques also involve manipulating the game's save file structure directly, though this requires technical knowledge and caution to avoid corruption or unintended consequences.

Deloldering is not officially supported by Bethesda Game Studios, the developer of *Skyrim*, and may violate the game's terms of service if used to gain unfair advantages in competitive or multiplayer contexts. While many players use deloding for personal enjoyment or creative experimentation, it is generally discouraged in official or community-driven events where fairness is prioritized. The practice remains a niche but enduring aspect of *Skyrim*'s modding culture, reflecting the game's deep customization potential.
