The Elder Scrolls Megathread XV: A Song of Ice and Draugr - Games

[img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/14265935/megathread%20banner.jpg[/img] Discuss any of the Elder Scrolls games, such as: [B]ARENA![/B] [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/8/89/Elder_Scrolls_Arena_Cover.jpg/256px-Elder_Scrolls_Arena_Cover.jpg[/img] The first in the series, started out as an arena game, but at the last moment they decided to make an RPG instead, forming the series we all know and love. [B]DAGGERFALL![/B] [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/a/a4/Daggerfall_Cover_art.gif/256px-Daggerfall_Cover_art.gif[/img] The second in the series, was a bit better and helped the series become more popular. [B]MORROWIND![/B] [img]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/53/MorrowindCOVER.jpg/256px-MorrowindCOVER.jpg[/img] Described by many as the best in the series, featured things like dice-roll combat, large sand-walking bugs, aggravating bird monsters, and some guy named Vivec who can control reality with CHIM! [B]OBLIVION![/B] [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/4b/The_Elder_Scrolls_IV_Oblivion_cover.png/256px-The_Elder_Scrolls_IV_Oblivion_cover.png[/img] The fourth, featuring psychic shouty guards, potato faces, and a Daedric god that wants to break out of Oblivion and take over the world. Like any competent Daedric god wants to do. Also features a less hardcore RPG experience, with enough depth to provide fun gameplay for any class, assassin, warrior, mage, etc. Also has both the best and worst DLCs in the series, Horse armor ($5 for horse armor) and Shivering isles, which featured an entire new landmass, Wabbajacks, talking grapefruits, and Sheo-freakin'-gorath. [B]SKYRIM![/B] [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/15/The_Elder_Scrolls_V_Skyrim_cover.png[/img] The newest in the series, where some of the RPG elements are dumbed down or removed entirely, but is still in-depth enough to appeal to most RPG fans; also features updated graphics, Dragons, Giants, and magic shouty words that kill people. [B]DLCS for Skyrim[/B] [B]Dawnguard[/B] [img]http://www1.pcmag.com/media/images/296084-skyrim-dawnguard-dawnguard.jpg[/img] fight vampires and shit. Or be a vampire and shit. Either way, some kickass armor in this one, plus some crossbows and armored trolls that follow you around. [B]Hearthfire:[/B] [img]http://www.justpushstart.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/skyrim-hearthfire1.jpeg[/img] Now you can adopt children and pets! [B]Dragonborn[/B] [img]http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121112170315/elderscrolls/ru/images/thumb/9/96/%D0%9C%D0%B8%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B0%D0%BA.jpg/240px-%D0%9C%D0%B8%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B0%D0%BA.jpg[/img] You go to Solstheim to do some shit. All the Miraaks are controlling all the Solstheims, and all the Dragonborns are fighting all the Miraaks. [B]Other Games[/B] There have also been a handful of other less prominent Elder Scrolls games. [img]http://puu.sh/WFca[/img] Redguard is the first (and probably only) game in the spinoff series called The Elder Scrolls Adventures. Unlike the main sequence of Elder Scrolls role-playing games, Redguard is designed as an action-adventure game. The player character is Cyrus, a Redguard mercenary, who returns to his native Stros M'Kai in search of his missing sister, Iszara. [img]http://puu.sh/WFdr[/img] Battlespire is the first (and probably only) game in the spinoff series called An Elder Scrolls Legend. It was originally conceived as an expansion to Daggerfall, but evolved into a standalone game. The action takes place within a single multi-level dungeon, the Battlespire, where the player is sent to investigate some unusual events. It also features a multiplayer option. [img]http://puu.sh/WFeE[/img] Stormhold, Shadowkey, Dawnstar, and Oblivion. The Elder Scrolls Travels are a series of four mobile TES games. ------------------------------------------------------- [img]https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQsr_arLruCS8xD3DwnqFpvZHaoXgPLjJBpvGgYl53B_N2bcpv7CA[/img] [b]New kid on the block: **The Elder Scrolls Online** [/b] This new MMORPG Comes out end of 2013. Will this just be another WoW clone taking place in Tamriel, or is it going to bring revolutionary stuff to the table? Discuss!

[img]http://puu.sh/WFsu[/img] Modding varies from game to game. It is practically non existant in both Arena and Daggerfall. In order to make mods. [B]Morrowind and Oblivion Modding[/B] For Morrowind you'll need the construction kit which can be found on your disc copy of Morrowind. Note: there is a version on the nexus for the Steam copy of Morrowind. Like Morrowind, Oblivion has a construction kit as well. You can find it on Bethesda's website for download. This is a great site for learning Morrowind and Oblivion modding. [B]Skyrim Modding[/B] Grab the creation kit off of steam. You can find a plethora of tutorials on the official wiki for it and at the bethesda forums.

[QUOTE=Biotoxsin;40458748]It looks more like you're in the tropics than in the north[/QUOTE] Yeah, I think that's the point of the Tropical Skyrim mod.

I spent 4 fucking hours re-installing skyrim + mods only for it to CTD on main menu, followed by NMM telling me all my mods have been deleted. FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK this game boils my piss.

That spell looks dangerous, keep your distance.

keeper distance

Is there a mod that fixes model collisions? Sometimes I manage to miss my arrow shots when the arrow clearly hits them, but goes through the chest and hits a wall.

[QUOTE=All0utWar;40458936]Is there a mod that fixes model collisions? Sometimes I manage to miss my arrow shots when the arrow clearly hits them, but goes through the chest and hits a wall.[/QUOTE] Are you trying to suggest that there's something wrong with standing on butterflies?

[QUOTE=MeltingData;40459064]Are you trying to suggest that there's something wrong with standing on butterflies?[/QUOTE] What are you talking about?

Okay, so people hated the last few images (Storm Rain and Snow). Those are the main ones I'm working on anyway because of opinions on how dark things should be. And yes, I've been outside at night. If there's a storm, I can't see shit at night. Canada is great for having all those weathers. Try going outside at night, in a storm, and tell me if you see anything at all. There is minimal light at best if it's cloudy / lightly raining / lightly snowing. Other than that, I can't see for shit. Anyway, I also noted that I was planning on increasing ground lighting so you could at least see [I]something[/I] for those last images.

My game was working all fine and dandy with the mods I had, then I get dawnguard and dragonborn and now the second the game's symbol shows up after the bethesda logo, it fucks up and closes itself, I tried uninstalling all mods but the same thing happens, I don't know what to do. [editline]29th April 2013[/editline] Ok I fixed it but now when I cast Bound Sword the game goes down, really..

[QUOTE=MeltingData;40459064]Are you trying to suggest that there's something wrong with standing on butterflies?[/QUOTE] Who needs dragonborn when you can ride monarch butterflies instead of dragons

My game keeps hanging up when I load my gamesave. :I

hopefully he'll add lighter traps (for followers) if he does make changes.

[QUOTE=Medevilae;40460048][URL]http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/35365/#[/URL] Immersive and Varied Dungeons of Skyrim "Right now, this mod has replaced most or all of the Draugr in the below dungeons with Spiders, Skeletons, Vampires, Trolls, Necromancers, and a few Atronachs. It does not add any sorts of extra decoration, traps, or pathways through any of the dungeons. If I do end up doing something like that, it will be in a later version."[/QUOTE] This is a type of mod I'd really like to do myself if I didn't hate the editor, if it wouldnt take years to do, and if I wasn't working on PSA. He's still got a lot of work to go though IMO, but I'm glad someone is trying to address the shitty "all dungions are exactly the same". My ideal concept on how to fix it would be to randomly seal away a good third of the dungeons on the map when you start a new game (there are too many), seriously hide many of the other dungions so they are actually hard to find entrance wise, and vary the dungions greatly in purpose. I.E. one drauger dungion might be very dark, and hardly any monsters but be very big, very spooky, and have one really hard guy that can come out at any moment and chase you through the whole thing. Another drauger dungion would be completely abandoned and very small, nothing more than just scraps, while another might be like what we get now. Maybe one would be really cramped, really small but one path if you can find it might lead into a big foyer with a treasure room inside or something.

Are you allowed to swear on your workshop mods' pages? [editline]28th April 2013[/editline] I'm planning on updating my [url=http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=8976]Horns Are Forever![/url] mod description with this: [quote]======================================= ATTENTION!!! I WON'T MAKE A KHAJIIT VERSION OF THIS MOD. THERE'S ALREADY A MOD FOR IT. GOOGLE IT, AND STOP FUCKING ASKING!!! =======================================[/quote]

[QUOTE=27X;40461390]Or could just link the khajiit mod[/QUOTE] no

I got addicted to Skyrim again, right when I was going to play Morrowind instead. Replaying Skyrim with SkyRe, which, I like the changes, all of them.

[QUOTE=zeldar;40461109]I thought that you quit modding Skyrim forever and that your companion mod was basically your swan song?[/QUOTE] Exactly. I just said I'm not working on anything. Nothing in those shots was built by me.

[QUOTE=27X;40461390](it's save-cleaning time, amember to back it up)[/QUOTE] I literally only have one save file in the folder though.

I mean, more power to you if that's what you're looking for, but I prefer being able to see enough at night to be able to continue playing.

The only problem is that it's such a dramatic overhaul, that it needs about a billion side mods to really "fit." Now I need an armor overhaul that adds warm-weather armors and clothes, and a music replacement, and a monster mod with appropriate creatures, and blah, blah, blah.

I know this is a stupid question but is there a mod for Oblivion that makes the menu like Skyrim. Im a Skyrim peasant. Also what are some good mods for Oblivion?

Decided to try and get back into Skyrim and made a new character. She's pretty bad ass so far though I must admit I am using several mods to make my experience more enjoyable. However my favorite part of today was hitting the tilde key when something cool happens and taking a screenshot. But just out of curiosity...is there a way to do the tlc(sp?) command during a kill cam but still be able to move around? Because when I hit it the camera levels out and just chills there. Example shot of me slaying a Sabre. [t]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/882980616389227343/E65D9EF59426FFB7A4876CAC1989260EDBD19D0A/[/t]

What are good spell packs for Skyrim? I can find many popular ones like Midas, Apocalypse spell pack, deadly spells? I'm mostly interested in lore friendly non overpowered spells
