The Elder Scrolls Megathread XVI: Loremaster Extraordinaire - Games

[QUOTE=Pvt. Martin;47522864]Is it? Also I don't like how it's basically a staff.[/QUOTE] fire enemy stunned remove head with sword it's basicly bloodborne

[QUOTE=Ganerumo;47522650]Dual Wielding is pretty useless anyway, no real point in ever using it at least in Vanilla. On another note I've recently installed Real Estate and Trade Routes. Five hours in and my character owns nearly all of Whiterun, I make twenty thousand septims a week and I regularly go on month-long trade circuits across the country to get mad rich. It's a shame it's not very compatible with ETaC and some houses/businesses aren't actually purchasable, but it's really fun. You can also raise the rent to impossible levels and have everyone hate you and send assassins to kill you, it's pretty hilarious.[/QUOTE] Dual Wielding is actually the best form of dealing damage if you're late game.

[QUOTE=Excalibuurr;47523118]You can't dual wield bows though.[/QUOTE] bows are only useful if you plan to take your time and sneak attack everyone

[QUOTE=_Maverick_;47523001]fire enemy stunned remove head with sword it's basicly bloodborne[/QUOTE] The idea is good, but I don't like how it has the chance to instantly kill. Maybe if it was something from the Musket mod. Then again I don't know if the damage from that mod is balanced or not. On a related note, I found this [img]http://static-2.nexusmods.com/15/mods/110/images/26653-1-1359292457.jpg[/img] That's a pretty neat armor.

I still wish someone else would pick up the Musket mod. It's a good mod and all, nice models and everything, but the textures are so gross.

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;47520784][url]http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/64651/?[/url] has anyone tried this out? it looks promising [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRB2UNBhTtM[/media][/QUOTE] Haha, that dainty-ass run on the trailer's Dragonborn. Also the voice acting sounds terrible.

[QUOTE=Vehk;47523223]Haha, that dainty-ass run on the trailer's Dragonborn. Also the voice acting sounds terrible.[/QUOTE] A lot of the textures look like crap too, but those two things I'm willing to ignore so long as the gameplay is good, since they're pretty hard to do without paying people. I'll have to try that mod myself sometimes, it looks like it has potential. [sp]also it's the first mod with a hammerfell that didn't look utterly disgusting[/sp] edit: also it's worth noting that the trailer and some of the voices in it are by Shinji, not the mod's creator He's not the worst reviewer but he doesn't speak English particularly and his videos are kinda obnoxious edit again: oh god the mod actually uses him for a voice actor why would you do that

The text dialogue is also in painfully bad english. He could have at least had a native english speaker proof read for him since he clearly isn't one. [img]http://i.imgur.com/Ea9X53V.jpg[/img]

[sp]The gray cowl of nocturnal has a bunch of maze dungeons and "find the lever" boring crap puzzles in it, and there's this invisible bridge puzzle that you are forced to use Clairvoyance to solve.[/sp]

ok so i should uninstall it i highly recommend getting this mod instead [url]http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/64734/?[/url]

Immersive~~~~~~~~~~~ [editline]asdf[/editline] The more I see the word "immersive" the less it looks or sounds like a word. Actually, is it even a word?

So ESO just sent out another email about giving returning beta testers 500 crowns for the weekend. I'm wondering if I'll be able to drop some money to get more crowns, and then buy the Imperial edition upgrade from the crown store, and if that will permanently upgrade my account/treat it as if I had bought the full game?

[QUOTE=Toro;47521536]I'm thinking about getting Moonpath to Elsweyr, any big gripes about it that I need to know?[/QUOTE] It's old and broken and you should play it on a clean save and then remove it.

Speaking of quests, has anyone gone through the Wheels of Lull quest mod? I'm curious to try it since I've enjoyed a lot of Trainwiz's other mods.

[QUOTE=27X;47524246]All of pasta's mod should be mandatory dls.[/QUOTE] Especially the one that causes two cliffracers to appear everytime you kill one.

[QUOTE=DiscoInferno;47522070]Maybe if you stopped saying nasty things about her you wouldn't hurt her :'([/QUOTE] For some reason, a lot of other things tends to hit her as well, such as temporary followers from Solstheim she beats the crap out of them

Underneath that rock hard exterior, Lydia is actually very sensitive. You would know that if you actually took the time to get to know her, you insensitive brute.

She's too busy jumping straight in front of my spells, blocking my doorways and saying "hey a cave, I wonder what's inside" right after we leave it, for me to actually get to know her I still felt bad when I sacrificed her last playthrough

You guys should go through the Dark Brotherhood and get Cicero as a follower. 10/10 best character Or if you have Interesting NPCs I would strongly recommend Anum-La the Swamp Knight.

Frea best companion. Essential and doesn't leave ash piles everywhere. Unlike a certain [I]someone[/I], I shalln't name names.

Vilja 4 life perfect waifu

no follower best follower all followers repeat themselves constantly. you'll never have a good follower.

Followers would actually be useful if they could interact with you, buff you with spells and not get in the way during fights. I mean just look at Erandur. A priest of mara as a follower would have been cool if he actually healed you and buffed you, but instead all he does is throw fireballs around and tell you to fuck off if you heal him. Animal followers are the best because they're pack mules that sometimes attack and more importantly shut the fuck up.

I use Serana because she can't die and whenever I stop she interacts with the environment instead of standing still. She's also pretty nice.

As the most sneakiest of sneaks companions really only get in the way. I usually only have one for a bit of company and for when bears/cats/trolls jump out of bushes in the overworld. Oh, and for dealing with ice wraiths more easily. I tell them to wait outside or just inside dungeons.
