Then you know nothing of the Nexus.

So I walk into Breezehome because I have some dragon scales I wanted to drop off in my room. I get to the stairs and I hear this "thok thok thok" coming out of the corner of the house. So I check it and there's some weirdness.

Lydia's using the alchemy table. This isn't the weird part, I've got a mod that lets her just kick around and use shit if we're staying in one place for a while.

The weird part is she's in her underwear. Evidently she's made herself at home.

If you're not listening to Pineapple Princess while playing Skyrim with the Tropical Skyrim mod, you're doing something wrong.

The problem you have is that Lydia isn't dead.

Anyone know if there's a mod that allows for multiple [B]animal[/B] followers?

[editline]16th March 2013[/editline]

Ugh, someone needs to make a mod that adds proper boss music to enemies like the High Dragon Priests and the Final Bosses of faction questlines. You know, the important named dudes.

[Darth Hater]

Hey, wasn't this mod originally started on facepunch? I didn't know it got this far. Great work guys.

Nothing compared to what happened to me:

One day i noticed Lydia was missing, so i tried to wait for a few days and fast travel a bit. Nothing.

I started to wonder where she was, if she was dead or else, so i used the console to teleport in her location. I found myself in Dragonsreach dungeon (Whiterun prison). I turned and there she is, Lydia, with a fucking naked bandit with his stomach on the table and his ass screaming pain and suffering. Already dead. Holy fucking nine divines. Tiber Fucking Septim on a blighted kwama.

I get my followers randomly locked up in the dungeon as well - I'm not entirely sure how something like *that* would happen. But randomly being given the chance to fight out of a dungeon does add a little bit of spice to life.

[Ellis :P]

Anybody know how to rig custom armors for Skyrim? I was hoping to ask somebody who knows how to do that and rig the Fallout 3 Mothership Zeta Samurai armor and helmet.

[Chex]

I'm not sure if this is some weird glitch, but I found this little guy in Ulfric Stormcloak's castle.

[El Fonz0]

Does anyone know why Skyrim occasionally has the whole "#% bytes" thing in Steam? It seems to be forcing me out of Skyrim when I'm playing it, which is annoying because I have to do the same spots in the dungeon I'm in many times.

[Axemunger]

I was playing the [URL="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=125728404"]Wyrmstooth mod[/URL] & something very bizarre happened

I was exploring the island & I came across some Dwemmer ruins, but it was apparent that there was nothing there. So naturally I tried to get back on my horse & move on.

But instead of jumping on the horse, my character stood next to it & waved his arms around for a second, then he just stood perfectly still & that's when I realised that I was now Shadowmere!

[img_thumb]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/17691911/skyrim/ScreenShot4.bmp[/img_thumb]

Whenever I moved around as Shadowmere my character slid around without any animation, then I accidently lost myself:

[img_thumb]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/17691911/skyrim/ScreenShot5.bmp[/img_thumb]

Luckily I found myself [URL="www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_80PQ543rM"]floating off into space[/URL]:

[img_thumb]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/17691911/skyrim/ScreenShot7.bmp[/img_thumb]

& then all of a sudden Shadowmere disappeared. I eventually managed to get control of my character again & he was just chilling out of the side of a cliff

I think bethesda have kind of gotten boring with their creature design. Skyrim's ice wraiths are realy cool, Charus and sprigans are OK. The rest of the monsters are kind of really uninspired,generic and boring. Morrowind had fucking terrifying monsters. Even the lowly ghosts were scary. The daedroths looked like they were going to rip out your heart, throw it up in the air and swallow it. I could have shat myself the first time i saw an ogrim titan charging over the ashlands for me. The sounds! If i heard a vampire or dremora i would run. No questions asked. I would just get out of the dungeon. Morrowind/oblivion don't even fully [I]go for it[/I] Spider daedra/winged twilights might have made me cry if they had more vivid female bodies.

Honestly. Skyrim has the best graphics of all the tes games and i feel like it's out competed with scary monsters in fucking [I]daggerfall[/I]

[Qaus]

i think their enemy design is fine, they just didn't choose any interesting ones to appear in skyrim.

[DrasarSalman]

It's kind of ironic how design become more generic when graphics have been improved.

I guess it's mostly due to the writing being worse. In Skyrim you get attacked by wolves and bears, but in Morrowind guars, cliffracers and slit striders are common sights, yet they are completely unique to any other fantasy games. My theory is that it is a lot more easy to write lore for creatures that actually exist than to invent stuff like the daedra and corprus zombies, because we already know where the creatures come from and how they look. Still, the Elder Scrolls series is known for the kind of complex lore Morrowind offers and I simply find it disappointing to see everything become so generic, to the point where they have to attempt to recreate stuff from Morrowind in order to seem interesting. I'm guessing stuff like space-fish-ships used by space traveling mages are easy to avoid when there are so many more generic things to copy, like making Oblivion look like hell, add spikes to evil things and making the word "magic" mostly have the same meaning as "pretty lights".

Why is this a thing

[hypno-toad]

I think part of the reason morrowind's stuff looks so alien is the low polycount.

When working with low poly/low res it's difficult to make realistic looking objects, but it's easier to make heavily stylized objects that look good, instead of making a low poly realistic objects that looks like shit anyways.

[ardosos]

Is there a mod that allows for more than two enchantments on the same item?

if you want it bad enough you could probably do it in creation kit.

I loved Morrowind's monster designs and the loading screens.

While I agree with you, there are also lore reasons. Morrowind was supposed to be this crazy alien world and shit, while Skyrim is much more "normal" lore wise, Skyrim doesn't really have any crazy outlandish creatures.
