I like the guy in the water to the right

"God dammit why am i here."
"My feet are cold"
"I want to go home"
"This armour is too heavy"

[Halflight]

I've started Dragonborn today and took an immediate liking to Miraak
On a side note, I completely gave up destruction magic: even after getting Better Magic and similar mods, every spell in that school does absolutely piss damage compared to my trusty sword

[lavacano]

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;47128168]ok im going to explain this one more time in fully

Using a BSA Extractor, I extracted a file called hudmenu.gfx which I then converted hudemenu.sfw

I needed to install a suspicious third party program that would allow me to extract all the images, but I couldn't because the images were not in an image format, they were in a sfw format.[/QUOTE]

OH. Everyone go rate my other post dumb.

Flash (the editor not the browser plugin) can probably do that. If you don't have a copy, tell me what you want and I'll get the files.

[ROFLBURGER]

the only way magic is going to be viable is when enemies have a high armor rating and you have a decent overhaul

I uses OBIS and some really basic magic mod

He's in the damned water because he kept walking in front of me the instant I took the screenshot
[sp]just an fyi for those disagreeing: besides the enormous amounts of potions i always carry, a few kinds of grenades from the throwing weapons mod, a daedric sword i'm avoiding using because i'm only level 10 and some other back-up stuff, I visibly have on me: 1 mace, 1 sword, 1 knife, a bow, 10 javelins, and a shield, plus a backpack and cape. I've since added a bandolier as well, and still do not have enough pouches[/sp]

I mean if it's really easy then (as in you can select all images and extract) I would love if you could do that for me

I rated you 'disagree' because you claim to be batman.
Yet you're wearing [I]HEAVY ARMOUR[/I] and a shield
Among other things

[U]If you wanted to do an actual batman run:[/U]

Light armour, Nightingale armour is perfect
Enchanted Fist-damage gloves
adventure by night whenever possible
never kill a human (unless you HAVE too)(( Illusion and sneak skills a MUST))(((cast fear and intimidate)))

[Dr.Critic]

Considering Forelhost's inner chasms are filled with Draugr Wights and Scourges that took me about 30-60 seconds each to kill, and frequently killed me even 1 on 1, I'm going to assume you're not supposed to attempt it at level 17

Thankfully Krosis' Staff of Fireballs meant Rahgot's Draugr bodyguards all got killed fairly quickly once they grouped together.

Rahgot was just piss easy, especially since he was in a confined space whereas Krosis floated around all over the fucking place.

(taken at the moment I was stomping Krosis)

First time I met Krosis he fucked me up in like 2-3 hits with fireballs, even with Lydia I couldn't do jack. Came back to him with two items that gave me 80% fire resistance, and suddenly he's pretty helpless, as was Rahgot.

No no no, this is IMPERIAL Batman. He gleams like fresh fallen snow and clanks like a kitchen, but has the world's best utility belt.
[sp]I did once do a short Batargonian playthrough with that oddly lore friendly Batman mod though. Have to do it again with a Khajiit sometime.[/sp]

[ROFLBURGER]

Are there any way to avoid becoming an angry sparkledog in the [sp]companions questline[/sp]

I have better vampires and I don't want to loose my progress.

[Ott]

Don't forget your Horker repellant.

I don't remember how to find quest IDs but if you manage to do that yourself you can use GetStage and SetStage to change your progress for a specific quest.

EDIT: I've never used anything to modify quest progress besides GetStage and SetStage, but from what I gathered from the wiki you have to use "showquesttargets" to get the IDs of active quests, "player.sqs <quest id>" to get a list of valid stages from a quest, then use "GetStage <QuestID>" to get your current stage ID so you can finally use "SetStage <quest id> <stage value>" to set the stage to the next higher valid ID.

There's a guy working on an NPC AI Overhaul that essentially makes NPCs move around and actually [i]do things[/i] in the world and I haven't been this excited for a mod in forever.

Families will sit and eat dinner together.

NPCs will visit shops.

[t]http://static-4.nexusmods.com/15/images/110/5866043-1411062207.png[/t]

People like The Companions will go out and train together.

There's even more in his nexus image collection if you want more teaser stuff: [url]http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/users/5866043/?tb=images&pUp=1[/url]

so it turns out i'm full of shit and Flash can't do that unless it's a .fla file

but I did find a program called SWFRIP and after poking the options a couple of times [url=http://www.netswim.net/sharex/shape.7z]I did manage to get a shitload of SVGs out of it[/url]

you're going to have to tell me if you got the images you wanted, the interface was honestly pretty garbage and I couldn't really tell what I was extracting

if you need a program to convert the SVGs to PNGs or something try inkscape

Ready to become the next anime protagonist when his parents get killed.

On another note, which program would allow me to bring up an old save and check the mods and plugins that were on it at the time of the save? I want to figure out what I had for my previous playthrough before I reinstalled.

I think Mod Organizer shows what plugins are missing from a save file.

[The Famous 8]

Despite the general thoughts on TES Online, if they're bringing out a version where you don't need to pay a subscription fee I probably will purchase it.

Just dying to get my next TES fix so it'll have to do for now.

Sometime next month the subscription will be gone, but you'll still have to buy it.
[sp]same update is adding murdering and thieving apparently which I'm waiting for right now[/sp]

You mean the Dawnguard will actually go out and do stuff instead of sitting in the fort like a bunch of hermits?

[_charon]

[QUOTE=Sharker;47132342]You mean the Dawnguard will actually go out and do stuff instead of sitting in the fort like a bunch of hermits?[/QUOTE]

I think Expanded Encounters or something like that adds a random encounter where you'll have Dawnguard members wandering in the wilderness or hanging out in towns sometimes, as well as patrols of generic Dawnguard. I think they spawn at the same time as the vampire attack event often too.
Adds Companions out in the wilderness too, which is pretty cool. Neat seeing Aela the Huntress doing some huntressing.

[TheLolrus]

[QUOTE=Sharker;47132342]You mean the Dawnguard will actually go out and do stuff instead of sitting in the fort like a bunch of hermits?[/QUOTE]

Immersive Patrols.

Sure it's just generic DG people and not the named ones who hermit in the fort all day, but it's something.

Oh. Bit too obscure for me. I didn't notice the belt and stuff at all until you pointed it out.

Hopefully it doesnt bloat your saves to heck

[Halflight]

As someone who never played another TES game before, [sp]Hermaeus Mora[/sp] is fucking impressive

[Daemon White]

Well.... I found out that Sydney666 (Original RLO mod leader) had his wife leave, and now his dad has cancer.

This guy has no fucking breaks in life...

[Halflight]

[QUOTE=Qbe-tex;47133767]You should totally play at least oblivion. It was the game that introduced me to the series and it's really an amazing game. And then play morroblivion cause that shit's good.[/QUOTE]

I really don't know at this point
I didn't find Skyrim a bad game per se, but if you ask me it benefits from a ill-earned fame. And let's leave it at that.

[Pops]

play it vanilla then mod the shit out of it

only way i'm doing my oblivion run right now.

I've been waiting for a mod like this for so long.
