The Elder Scrolls Megathread XVI: Loremaster Extraordinaire - Games

Jesus I can't find a fun to play class in morrowind I never get past the first 3 quests before starting a new character.

I just can't play morrowind. Too much walking, I'm way too casual for it. When I finally find an enemy I end up dying.

TES VI predictions: - a major gaming outlet actually does refer to it as Skyrim 2 - a tactical roll button is included - tutorial teaches you the alphabet - tutorial reveals you are the prophesied one - story pales in comparison to a pokemon game - all dungeons are actually the same room entered from different directions - visual assets are partially plagiarized from harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban - these are the game's best assets - player can adopt the final boss (ending is the same either way: ie. unresolved) - dwemer ruins are pointlessly included in the next province, this time only referenced as "dwarves" - world is so perfectly leveled and all towns are so symmetrical that the player needn't actually move - despite this, movement is locked at sprinting pace etc

Is real shelter worth using?

Looks like im going to have to stop wearing miraaks robes. apparently stepping on clutter counts as being hit, and has a chance to set off the tentacle explosion. i managed to kill a riften guard by banging my head on a sign as i walked past her.

[QUOTE=Spydurr117;47447241]Anyone know of any good light armor mods for females? If I have to download one of those body mods I will but it's not preferred.[/QUOTE] Well what are you looking for? Also anyone know good heavy armor mods for looking like a knight/paladin? IE shiny metal armor and bad ass shields

[QUOTE=bloboo;47447832]I find the biggest challenge in Skyrim is getting immersed while all of the dishes and food are possessed by poltergeists. I just wanted to sit in a chair and a pie flies across the room.[/QUOTE] Ya need to cap fps 60 or use.... Vsync.

What are the best clothes/armor for a mage character? I'm kinda bored of the archmage robes+morokei.

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;47447653]Anyone know the difference between spells like DreadZombie DreadZombieLeftHand DreadZombieRightHand and how they're used with NPCs? I don't want to give npcs spells that don't work[/QUOTE] It's been a long time since I've even played or modded Skyrim, but I do remember enemies like Skeletons and Draugrs can only cast spells from their left hand and thus need the respective spell entry. Restless Draugr are the easiest example of this I can give. They have FrostbiteLeftHand under their spelllist. If it was just Frostbite, he wouldn't cast it.

Marcurio best follow 2015. Also just found out about Angi's camp south of Falkreath. Get pretty much 6 free levels in archery really easily through shooting the targets. Really cool.

Is there a way to have 7 ugrids without the load times tanking?

[QUOTE=eirexe;47448716]what engine does TESO use?[/QUOTE] Heromaker or something similar. It's certainly better than Gamebryo/Creation except for the fact that there are lots of texture pop-ins on characters (everything is wicked low-res until you stare at them up close for a solid five seconds).

[QUOTE=Lexinator;47449021]Is real shelter worth using?[/QUOTE] Try it out, last time I used it it was horribly glitchy, though that may of been from incompatibilities.

[QUOTE=Lexinator;47448752]Jesus I can't find a fun to play class in morrowind I never get past the first 3 quests before starting a new character.[/QUOTE] Load morrowind up and I'll work you through how not to be a shit via steam broadcasts

[QUOTE=Lexinator;47448600]I had an issue like that on the ground with an enb way i fixed it was FixParallaxTerrain=false in the fix section of enblocal.ini[/QUOTE] Nope, that did not work, though you did help me notice another issue Though setting FixParallaxBugs to true did help it a bit, its still curvy as fuck though.

my skyirm looks way better while high [t]http://i.imgur.com/nDnlwSc.jpg[/t] like im at the point in my skyrim overplayed state where I'm installing lore unfriendly mods if they can provide enough entertainment

I'm thinking of getting back into modded Skyrim. What state is PerMa in? Are Falskaar and Wyrmstooth worth playing? Are there are any other big quest mods I should play?

Falskaar and Wyrmstooth are both worth playing imo. They're big quest mods that are both popular and unpopular.

I installed PerMa back when I was level 3 because I had no idea you needed a new game for it. Really sucks to find out at level 50 that my game is half broken as a lot of perks don't work for me. With a new game I think 90% or so of the perks works. Lockpicking is broken but can be fixed with a patch also wayfarer currently doesn't get XP I think

Had some trouble getting into Faldur's Tooth on account it was a fucking honet's nest of deadly archers. After whittling them down with Rage spells and dagger sneak attacks it came down to a Bandit Marauder and a Bandit Chief chasing down my level 28 wood elven arse. I was outmatched in a straight up fight. But I had a plan, operation 'Bigger Fish'. I made a tactical retreat, right into the den of a Spriggan Matron and a fuckton of sabre cats. I got into position and used the "useless" gift of the Bosmer, Command Animal. Few people know it outprioritises the Spriggan control, and luckily mama Sprig was just as pissed at the bandits rolling down the hills as she was at me. So it was a Bandit Chief (the maraurder fell very quickly) verses Spriggan Matron verses 4 sabre cats. The bloody Bandit Chief won with hardly a scratch on him though, but the fight proved a distraction enough for me to pelt him to death with ice spikes. All in all, fuck Faldur's Tooth.
