Depends on where you go.
[QUOTE=papaya;34241183]if you get a nude female one you need the nude male one
otherwise you're SEXIST[/QUOTE]
Also downloaded that one and I'll admit I was curious so I stole a males clothing... I'm now scarred for life and I feel gay. Help.
Other than that I tried out the SkyUI mod and it's pretty decent IMO. Fully recommend it.
[QUOTE=Schmaaa;34241669]I think my skyrim may be bugged... am I supposed to encounter high-level vampires and Draugr Scourges at level 14?[/QUOTE] Is it just like one at the end of the dungeon? If so, that's normal, if it's every-fuckingwhere, then there's a problem.

If just stealing some guys clothes and watching him walk around nude makes you feel gay, then you must be pretty insecure about your sexuality. Apparantly people have less shame in skyrim.

Can't say I'm insecure but I felt like I really shouldn't be doing that haha. Any other cool mods like that which you could suggest?
Is there any new news regarding the DLC for Skyrim? I'm predicting the DLC will be released around Febuary or March.
Alright said I'd post some DF install instruction for people with androids, I can't guarantee any of this will work as it is sort of a crapshoot. [B]Bolded stuff is important[/B], and if you've got Daggerfall working on your PC, go to the bottom of this post. If you want to see if you can get daggerfall working on your android you'll preferably want to have:
- A reasonable volume of ram and a decent processor in your droid. Cant tell you the exact specs but its not going to work on a phone with extraordinarily weak hardware.
- A pull out keyboard helps and is faster, but its not necessarily required. If you dont have one you may need a gamepad screen overlay or something for movement
- Some sort of android file browser software would come in handy while doing this stuff. I use "AndExplorer"
You'll need either ADosBox (its free on the android market) or [URL="http://www.filesonic.com/file/1873547634/AnDOSBox.v1.1.6.-AnDrOiD.rar"]AnDosBox[/URL] ADosBox didnt work for me when I started daggerfall, though that may have been due to its configuration. If one doesn't work, try the other. AnDosBox costs money, but due to the fact that its based on DosBox (open source on the gpl) its free to redistribute so that link is not warez. [B]Dont buy[/B] AnDosBox.
These emulators are a bit wonky on the pull out keyboard, only one FN key may work, and likewise some FN options may be mixed up with each other or switched around. It may take some experimenting.
Next you need to download [URL="http://cms.elderscrolls.com/sites/default/files/tes/extras/DFInstall.zip"]Daggerfall[/URL]. Mount your android (with and sd card in it) to your computer, and drop the "DFCD" and "DAGGER" folders from the daggerfall.rar into the root (ie: base folder) of your SD card. Fire up your choice of dosbox emulators, it automatically mounts your sd card so theres's no need to do that, type the following... [B](since its dos you'll need to hit "enter" between each of these lines as each one is an input)[/B]
[code]mount c /sdcard -freesize 700
cd DFCD
install[/code]
At this point the program will hang for a bit, then the daggerfall installation GUI should come up, go through it until it asks you your install size. When it asks, "change install size" and set it to "huge (450mb)."
If you did everything right, the install should start and it should take [B]ages.[/B] SD cards have very slow write speeds. When the install is finished, it should prompt you about your sound settings. I cant guarantee sound will work at all, so it may not be worthwhile even setting this up. I'd say skip it, you can always go back to it later if you somehow know the right settings. When you go through the installer it'll drop you back in dosbox, at this point quit dosbox and re-mount your android to your PC.
Find the "DAGGER" folder in your /sdcard root and inside there there is a file called z.cfg. Open that with notepad, and change both "path" and "pathcd". Should be "[B]s:[/B]\dagger\arena2\" for both "path" and "pathcd." save z.cfg once these changes are made, then disconnect your droid.
Go back into dosbox emulator, and type
[code]cd dagger
fall.exe z.cfg[/code]
It should hang for a moment, then daggerfall should start up. The chances are it's laggy as hell, so access the dosbox.conf in the /sdcard root and try upping the cpu cycles to around 20,000 or more. The game works for me, but I need to do some tweaking to get everything working right so honestly I can't help you much beyond this point. If you've got a pullout keyboard you'll need to modify your control scheme to get something that works.
[B]I only did this process once, so if something isn't working, please tell me as it's possible I may have missed a step.[/B]
[B]Alternatively,[/B] if you already have daggerfall installed and working on your pc, you could copy all the folders and their hierarchy to your SD card, and then hop into z.cfg (in the DAGGER folder) and change the path and pathcd to accommodate your sd card. (s:\dagger\arena2\) and it should work with the same execute commands I've shown above. You'll still need a Dos emulator and I've listed two above.
[B]
Edit note[/B]
if you're using adosbox (the most recent version is actually pretty awesome) you need to take into account that adosbox automatically mounts your s: drive as the c: drive, so if your z.cfg file says s: drive for the paths, it wont work because it's virtually the c: drive by default...
So change the adosbox configuration file so it doesn't mount the c drive, or change daggerfalls z.cfg file to have paths that are c: instead of s:.
I kind of never understood why they made it so that the guards share the same lines of speech.
[QUOTE=LEETNOOB;34238945]Too bad it'll eat your performance by a lot. What was Bethesda thinking when they made their shadow technique? It's horrible. They should have used cascaded shadow maps instead.[/QUOTE]
You just need to make your shadow view distance in the ini file to be 3000 or something. Shadow quality is directly related to the shadow view distances. Default is 8000. this will also double performance in towns and such.
[QUOTE=Bat-shit;34242978]I kind of never understood why they made it so that the guards share the same lines of speech.[/QUOTE]
Else they'd be writing thousands of lines of speech just for the guards.
[QUOTE=Bat-shit;34242978]I kind of never understood why they made it so that the guards share the same lines of speech.[/QUOTE]
Cost reduction.
[QUOTE=Bat-shit;34242978]I kind of never understood why they made it so that the guards share the same lines of speech.[/QUOTE]
Because otherwise they would spend a year or two more just making up and recording those different lines.
Gamebryo engine games really do have inconsistent performance. I used to get 60 fps on Oblivion on max, now I get 40-50
Here, I made this as a background for my laptop a few weeks back and decided to upload it for kicks. Unfortunately, it dropped the quality of the pic by 2/3rds.

I thought they didn't use Gamebryo for this one?

Oblivion is a old game
Skyrim is a new game
and skyrim is not on Gamebryo
I'm referring to Oblivion, people might not know this because the title has Skyrim in it, but this is also a TES general thread. :downs:
[QUOTE=Calkkuna;34243296]Oblivion is a old game

It's essentially an expanded-upon gamebryo.
And gamebryo's just a rendering engine, it was never the problem. The problem was always Bethesda being fundamentally incompetent.
I thought we settled this ages ago.
Skyrim in on the creation engine which has elements of gamebyro in it.

It's using the creation engine.
[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;34243352]It's using the creation engine.[/QUOTE]
Oblivion does? It still is really inconsistent with its performance then.

Or to be more specific, Bethesda made so many changes to the Gamebyro engine so that they decided that its a whole new engine by now, and called it the Creation engine.

"Gamebryo" hasnt been gamebryo since Oblivion.. it bears so little resemblance to what they started with.
From fallout 3 they improved the lighting engine (dynamic world shadows, dynamic light bounce, better ambient lighting) the LOD system is a bit better, and the animation middleware has brought the animations from "terrible" to "adequate." Also there's no more speedtree, as they made their own little tree-modelling middleware.
Engine also seems to support some new sort of shader map, though I haven't been able to tell what it is.
Still, they havnt really changed or fixed some of the really crappy aspects of the engine, such as the lack of low friction on steep terrain inclines, and there still seems to be general performance issues for almost no reason.

Labyrinthian.
That place is a bit of a disappointment.. Labrinthian was a vast mega-dungeon in TES: Arena. When the CK comes out I might see if I can make a truly awesome Labyrinthian.

You find a wooden mask there that transports you to the past. That's the undilapidated part of my image.
Do human npcs respawn? If not i'm going to download killable children and remove essentials and do a murder every living thing in skyrim playthrough. Why? For teh lulz.
I have also heard talk of a rebuild Helgen mod a lot lately. i for one believe this would be awesome. I remember someone talking about it here, about stationing guards and defences. You would be able to upgrade like your house or the DB dawnstar sanctuary. Like your wedding friends, people you have done quests for or people who have no home or have lost it could move in. You could hire a Jarl or choose to be one yourself, and a steward for said Jarl. You would recieve weekly income to the palace treasury depending on the population and what facilities like bars or farms. Just thought these were some cool ideas.

Anisotropic filtering.
Give it a try.
Also not sure why people say the ck is released when it isn't
No results on google, the forums or the website.

I was wondering the same thing.
I think whoever said that was joking, completely ignoring the fact that most people genuinely have no idea and come in the thread to see if it's out yet.
I want my 10 minutes back, Dominicus.
Glad to see I'm not the only one. Whole fucking hour, damnit.
So how are people making equipment and interior mods before the CK is out?
