The Elder Scrolls Megathread XVI: Loremaster Extraordinaire - Games

[QUOTE=Kebab;47168930]another dose of weird nexus crap [t]http://static-7.nexusmods.com/15/images/110/4820421-1424315764.jpg[/t] in this image we can see that the player has tried to give their character freckles, but instead made her look like a napalm victim[/QUOTE] I'm fairly certain whoever made that texture only knows what freckles are because they looked them up on Wikipedia once a couple of years ago.

Does serving jail time increase the likelihood you'll crash because I just got the "bounty of 1000+ gold in every hold" achievement and I wanted to clear all my bounties so I could continue on without Aela being bugged and talking to me every 3 steps. I started crashing around Falkreath, I figured nbd, now I'm on the last one, and I keep fucking crashing as soon as I'm done serving my time. [editline]a[/editline] Fuck it, Windhelm's useless anyway. I'll just break out and not have Aela with me for awhile.

I thought I'd hit the deep end of Skyrim weeaboo mods when I was browsing through Japanese websites in the broken Engrish graciously provided by Google Chrome, but this thread is starting to make me rethink that. On a slightly related note, I finally managed to get a character to level 6 for the first time in two years today. I'm using mods to make bartering tougher, lower the amount of loot found, and raise material costs for crafting, so money is actually useful...for now. On top of that, I added Wet and Cold, which is really nifty with both Frostfall and iNeed. It's almost like a brand new game. I do wish I could install SkyRe or Perkus Maximus for the perk overhauls, but I have yet to get Dragonborn. I tried SPERG (astounding name) and found it to be troublesomely buggy.

-not starting this on another page-

I think I got my Skyrim where I want it, lots of armor and weapons on the loot list, a nice enb, very populated cities and roads/warzones, All kinds of new enemies and texture variation packs, a good follower and some fun quest mods. This is fun as hell.

On Skyrim I started a new game on my 360 (I could play on PC but this way I don't get tempted to install 20,000 mods) and chose to role-play a merchant. Everything is going great, haven't killed a single thing and I've made some good money already. I'm using Uthgerd the Unbroken as my body guard and she's doing well except she went full retard when she refused to fight a bandit right in front of her face because she didn't want to step onto some rubble to get to him. The pathfinding can be pretty ridiculous at times.

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;47168597]All mods suck dick metaphorically and literally. For example here's me playing the Falskaar ending [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dre5EBxX1J0[/media] There are like 5-6 cutscenes in falskaar that go on like this[/QUOTE] Was Falskaar any good? Heard mixed reviews

Wyrmstooth bugged out on me I can't talk to the guy in the tavern, a giant bar fight just starts.

[QUOTE=Morderator;47171561]Was Falskaar any good? Heard mixed reviews[/QUOTE] Some of the voice acting is good, some of it isn't. Some of the dungeon designs are pretty neat, but the island design is hilariously awful. There's like one road on the entire island, it's like a superflat oval but with one half lower than the other and cut completely in half right down the middle by a giant impassible straight line cliff edge. There are often huge ass dialogue scenes where you're left to literally just stand and listen to a bunch of people talk to eachother for 5 minutes, like ROFLBURGER's video. Overall, the upsides aren't really worth the downs, unless you're super desperate for more stuff to do. Also the Jarl sounds like Dracula.

[QUOTE=Morderator;47171561]Was Falskaar any good? Heard mixed reviews[/QUOTE] It was okay. You could tell a lot of effort went into it but it had some things I disagree with. Villian threatens to do heavy shit after it was proved that he did heavy shit earlier? Game lets him walk away. Villain steals important artifacts and it can be easily stopped? Game doesn't let you stop him. Villain is getting closer and closer to fucking up life as we know it? Gotta have several 5 minute meetings to discuss it. [editline]19th February 2015[/editline] Yeah I didn't like the jarl because I don't like accents. I just couldn't take it seriously because I played Magicka.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/FIL6iAR.jpg[/img] So, any armor mods out there where I can achieve a similar look in the related image? Disregard the anime art style. Also, preferably, [b]without the damn mini-skirt.[/b]

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;47174496]Is this for a female character or male character[/QUOTE] Assuming that it would have pants instead of a skirt, it would probably work as a unisex, I guess?

[QUOTE=Jitters;47174518]Assuming that it would have pants instead of a skirt, it would probably work as a unisex, I guess?[/QUOTE] well right now im using this website to look for armors [url]http://dragonporn.ldblog.jp/[/url] my friend showed me this as a joke but it's actually relatively decent (but theres more anime shit), the website is just a catalogue of armors meant for people who are in japan and contains no dragon pensies armors that I have so far that might interest you is [url]http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/8859/?[/url] [url]http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/49953/?[/url] [url]http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/36714/?[/url] like these are the closest to the style you're looking for

So I went back and played morrowind after many years and I realized that I think I like the LACK of a physics engine for items. In oblivion and skyrim I never really valued a house, but in Morrowind, I actually use the shelves and put stuff on them because I trust them to remain on the shelf. I also like the fact that Morrowind doesn't generally reset interior cells, so if you find an empty house (or...you know...empty it),you can use it for your home. Any building can basically be your house, which is neat.

Anyone know where I can get the Glass UI mod? Nexus seems to have taken it down for some reason.

[QUOTE=_charon;47168936]Cool, finally a realistic leprosy mod[/QUOTE] being a cool leper warrior would actually make a super sick mod if you think about it, you could wear a badass metal mask like King Baldwin IV and be immune to pain like a huge tough guy. fight off all these dragons with the POWER OF LEPROSY [editline]20th February[/editline] [thumb]http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/darkestdungeon.gamepedia.com/thumb/d/d9/Leper.png/442px-Leper.png?version=6b1e1af49dffa1c0a2626d27baa28151[/thumb]

Playing the Elder Scrolls games is so therapeutic. They're so relaxing, I get all sorts of good vibes from them.

*Installs Dragon Combat Overhaul* [video=youtube;EbYG20_JOT4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbYG20_JOT4[/video] yeah nope uninstalling just a stupid old vid of mine, thought I'd share

does every dragon have that alduin shout?

The music is such a high point for me. A lot of the pieces used in the Elder Scrolls games are some of my favorite pieces of music out there period. Playing through Skyrim for the first time, seeing all those incredible vistas with such music playing gave me a sense of wonderment and exploration I hadn't felt so strongly, maybe ever. I played the game for like 230 hours on my first character, I wanted to explore every little area the game had to offer. I couldn't believe how vast it was, and how high quality all the quests felt to me. I'm a huge fan of that fantasy setting, so naturally after Skyrim I tried Oblivion and I loved that game as well. [video=youtube;cp02n3PMm0U]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cp02n3PMm0U[/video] Oh Oblivion, my Oblivion. After trying Fallout 3 and disliking it, I was honestly worried I wouldn't like Bethesda's previous Elder Scrolls game. However, all it took was the opening cinematic to get completely sucked into it. It was similar, but a whole new experience. This world was more colorful, with a bit more whimsey, and I thought it was every bit as beautiful as Skyrim. I remember once I was so enraptured with the game I had failed to notice that my windows were still open and a storm rolled in. That was fun. :v: After Oblivion, I continued my travel backwards. I had my doubts 2003's Morrowind could hold my interest like Oblivion and Skyrim, however after a few hours of being glued to my computer I came to the conclusion that Morrowind was pretty fantastic as well. [video=youtube;Zm3yPqG_J8Q]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zm3yPqG_J8Q[/video] It felt a lot different from the other ES games, but there was something about the odd new landscapes and cultures that made me really want to dig into all the lore. I consider Morrowind to be one of the more interesting ES games from a lore prospective, even if the combat takes a lot to get used to. Then I played Daggerfall, Arena, yada yada, no one wants to hear me talk about those entries though. :v:

These games are too good. Is it weird that it took me Fallout 3 to get into these games BethGS makes?

skyrim music was great (seriously great shit to play when you want to fall asleep) oblivion music is the best
