(Skyrim) This is gonna be good.

Discussion in 'Entertainment and Technology' started by Cassindra Starlight, Aug 30, 2013.

  1. I love Skyrim, but I haven't played it in forever, and didn't get far when I did. That's about to change, and it will rock. I've got the PC version with all the DLC, and I've been on a mod downloading spree. I've got the Unofficial Patch series. I've got the Civil War mod that ramps up the scale of every battle of the Civil War within the main quests, and adds hundreds of dynamic skirmishes around the world. I've got the deadly dragons mod that adds new dragons and makes fighting dragons a more harrowing experience. I've got Skyrim Redone, to massively expand character options. Got a bunch of new races for the same reason, and body replacers to make the default ones look good. I got Frostfall to make me take the weather into account to stay alive. I got a better looking map. I got an AI overhaul for followers. And that's not all. I got dozens of things. I want to try it out tonight, but NMM wants to take hours to install ApachiiSkyHair, and I have to go to sleep after I do all these installations.

    I can't wait. Skyrim is going to rock now. Unless, of course, I get a bazillion mod conflicts.

  4. Search deeply, and you will find many things you never knew of.

    It does. Unfortunately, NMM is still installing ApachiiSkyHair. The most I can do tonight is check for a quit to desktop crash. Hopefully I don't get that. I don't want to deactivate any of my new mods.

    So....so...jealous XD,
     
  6. Oh, that's not all. Snow and water textures are drastically improved. Vampires have been overhauled. Lighting and weather are now far better. I am now able to be a bard, and can play and sing all the songs you see them singing in taverns. I can start a zombie apocalypse if I so desire. If I don't get conflicts, this will rock.

    seriously i can barely run the game anymore, my PC is good but there is so much scripting that it becomes very laggy outdoors, does not matter if i use high or low graphic options, its playable but it gets laggy when there is a lot of people, dragons or monsters around, but its still fun :icon_bigg

    the mod limit is 255 right? im afraid to even get close to that because for some reason my limit in fallout new vegas is 141, im afraid it may be less than 255 for me in skyrim

    I don't recommend it unless you want to spend a stupid amount of time making sure nothing overlaps!
     
  13. Well, so far no problems have arisen. I started on high graphics settings, and it was even more gorgeous than vanilla Skyrim. The water and snow are enough to captivate forever. Surprisingly enough, the game is actually running faster than vanilla, even with dozens of mods. Maybe it was those unofficial patches I put on. There was still a good bit of lag, but my computer always lags on high graphics, and as I said it was faster than vanilla, so no blaming the mods there. I dropped the graphics to what I would normally play on, and it looks good, but doesn't take the breath away. In about a month I'm buying a more powerful computer, and then I should be able ramp the graphics to maximum, activate the HD texture pack DLC, and get some truly HD texture mods. Once I do that, nothing will be prettier.

    So far I have encountered zero mod conflicts.

    Damn. I hope mine runs well when I have that many mods.

    Wow I didn't even know they had all of those mods lol. I played through the game on the 360 with all the DLC and absolutely loved it. One of my favorite games of all time right there alongside Oblivion!

    The one mod that you absolutely need is the one that allows children to die. Nothing is worse than having a dragon fly over a town and light everyone on fire, only to have a little 8 year old be the only survivor and walk out unscathed because they are invincible.
     
  17. There's a certain little girl in Whiterun Skyrim would be better off without.
     
  18. So, apparently one of the mods I downloaded takes the crossbows from Dawnguard and places them around all of Skyrim. Soon after character creation I looted one off a bandit. I have an alternate start mod that lets me pick who I want to be, and I decided to start as a student at the mage's college (female Breton, for those curious). However, you know how magic can be in Skyrim. Ended up using the crossbow to clear a dungeon, and found something out: crossbow + sneak = DEATH INCARNATE. Also, I have the stealth mod that lets you slit throats and stuff. I am totally going to drop destruction magic and focus on spells that help me be stealthy, and become some sort of shadow rogue/mage. This is awesome.

    shadow rogue/mage is my fav class in oblivion and skyrim! i also love the illusion spell frenzy, you can sneak and then cast on enemies and they will fight each other to the death, you dont get much XP for this but its usually very funny (try creating a frenzy spell + rally spell in oblivion with huge range and effect and then cast it in a city, its hilarious), doesnt work very well in skyrim though

  20. Personally, my favorite thing is immersion. That's why I have mods that let me freeze to death and that add tons of cooking recipes.

    I think I want to start smithing stuff. I got some recipes for armored robes, and my armor needs to be raised. I'm too squishy right now.

    Does anyone know how to snap the camera to the front of a character to take screenshots?
