The Elder Scrolls Megathread XVI: Loremaster Extraordinaire - Games

[QUOTE=piddlezmcfuz;47515936][t]http://cloud-2.steamusercontent.com/ugc/35242957519013676/A159B6BA55EA7071E55C387B4F3FA83765B950AA/[/t] So I turned Saadia into a fellow vampire and gave her a nice outfit[/QUOTE] Link to mod? I like pirate looking stuff

I'm pretty sure it's just some stuff in Immersive Armors. The armor is called Crimson Archer or something and the hat is simply a tricorne hat, and is considered common clothing

[QUOTE=Vehk;47515623]Well, Nirnites kinda banished the fuck out of Mehrunes and his minions, so I guess there's your hand-wavy explanation. (Doesn't really explain why there can be Dremora still, but whatever.)[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=DiscoInferno;47515635]No summonable spider daedra either so no pretending to be a Drow for me. [sp]Nor any sultry Daggerfall/Battlespire style Daedric Seducers[/sp][/QUOTE] I know that Monster Mod adds daedroths as encounters and Perkus Maximus adds conjuration spells to summon Daedroths, Dark Seducers, Golden Saints and more stuff

[QUOTE=Pvt. Martin;47516145] Also Rofl, what's the mod you're using to have your HP,MP,and SP on the upper left corner with your name?[/QUOTE] That's EFF, it puts follower's stats there, not yours though. EFF also gives a companion wheel like in New Vegas. It's pretty great.

[QUOTE=Sharker;47515328]Is there a mod that just gets rid of bears altogether? They're that bad.[/QUOTE] Why do people hate bears? I remember there was even a quest made around hating the shit out of bears, which might imply bears are meant to be annoying but I just didn't see the problem.

[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;47516851]Why do people hate bears? I remember there was even a quest made around hating the shit out of bears, which might imply bears are meant to be annoying but I just didn't see the problem.[/QUOTE] You want some really annoying fuckers? Try the Chaurus.

[QUOTE=Vehk;47516557]Is she supposed to look like one of those creepy Japanese androids cause I'm feeling adequately unsettled by her face.[/QUOTE] Hell if I know. She's supposed to be a character from BG2, so her looks is based on her looks there. This, I think.

She has a lot of decently recorded dialogue, anyway.

[QUOTE=Vasili;47518587]Why did you turn Saadia into a vampire pirate?[/QUOTE] I think the real question here is why would you [i]not[/i] turn Saadia into a vampire pirate?

One thing I realized that bothered me is how decayed and ruined everything is in Skyrim, there is not one castle that is not crumbling or looks like a repurposed Norman fortress from today: [quote][img]http://www.castlewales.com/ludlow1.jpg[/img][/quote] I'm sure its intentional, but you would think the Nords would care more about the risk of living in ruined, mosey old keeps.

Were it not for mods the civil war basically ends up being Ulfric and Tulius angrily shaking their fists at oneanother until one of them drops dead.

Well it gets to the point there are just hunks of ruins right outside Whiterun that are just left there. It was common for old fortresses to be repurposed and mined by its population to make way for new building supplies or even repairs. I have yet to find one castle that is not decaying in Skyrim, even that Fort Dawnguard was a mess inside.

I would like to christen this distinct lack of initiative in Bethesda game populations "Bethesda Syndrome". Fallout 3 had this problem too. People in their games are really, really lazy.

Installing Skyrim [I]again[/I] I have a GTX 970. Can someone recommend a good ENB? Also are there any new mods around that I should add? I've got all DLC. Going to be installing immersive armors, alternate start and such but are their any other big mods out there? I'm sure I saw something about some really good NPC overhauls and civil war mods mentioned.

If I was Jarl I would create a work initiative program to go around tearing down old abandoned/bandit fortresses across Skyrim to help repair major towns and cities and also reduce the bandit/necromancer/monster population by 90%. How long have these castles been around for? Because it looks like Bethesda was inspired by old European buildings that are over a thousand years old, and I don't think the Skyrim places are supposed to be that dated. [IMG]http://wisegamers.ch/images/755/wisegamers-skyrim-keep-forest.jpg[/IMG] This is something I expect of our world, not something of Skyrims period.

Kind of like the one to restore the town that gets destroyed in the vanilla intro.

The majority of those forts are still present in ESO.

[QUOTE=_Maverick_;47518747]shoes are for little girls real nord men walk on rocks and like it[/QUOTE] found the guy with the foot fetish

[QUOTE=QueenMelanie;47518952]Actually most of those date to the First age. The majority of those forts are still present in ESO.[/QUOTE] but eso isn't canon, so they might not have existed then.

[QUOTE=Pops;47519235]but eso isn't canon, so they might not have existed then.[/QUOTE] Actually it is. [url]https://twitter.com/TESOnline/status/372017971423498240[/url] - Edit I don't know why you are disagreeing with me, The owner of the license controls what is "canon", and Elder Scrolls Online is officially classified as canon, like it or not, that's just the way of things. Like you can all have your little headcanon that ignores it, but that doesn't change the fact that ESO is canon. :v:

molag bal is the price of plots

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;47519401]molag bal is the price of plots[/QUOTE] That's a good moral if I've ever heard one. Don't plot, kids, or you'll get raped.

[QUOTE=Vehk;47519416]That's a good moral if I've ever heard one. Don't plot, kids, or you'll get raped.[/QUOTE] I'm actually surprised how much sexual deviation is suggested in skyrim. I'm the kind of guy who reads the books and listen carefully for the dialogue. So far from the top of my head there's suggestions of rape, necrophillia, beastiality, and a lot of sexual harrasment. congrats loverslab all your mods are canon

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;47519401]molag bal is the [U][I]price[/I][/U] of plots[/QUOTE] That's a steal. Usually you have to take out a homeowners loan for a plot of land.

We're not in denial. Bethesda haven't said it's canon, Zenimax can fuck off.
