The Elder Scrolls Megathread XV: A Song of Ice and Draugr - Games

If my oblivion has longer load times and some bugs is it worth it to reinstall, and do clean edits/bash/boss from the start? At times it will take up to 30 seconds to load into the main menu, which is ridiculous.

[QUOTE=G3rman;41573435]So, guys...where is the next Elder Scrolls game going to be located?![/QUOTE] I would actually love a Feudal Japanese-like setting for a game like Skyrim. I'd impose strict honor guidelines on my character and become a Ronin. Or a Ninja and just throw Smoke bombs. Japanese-themed monsters would be kickass.

Personally I want Hammerfell or someplace like Elsewyr. Are there any good ENB like mods for Oblivion?

[QUOTE=G3rman;41573435]So, guys...where is the next Elder Scrolls game going to be located?![/QUOTE] Summerset Isles please

[QUOTE=JesterUK;41589562]Summerset Isles please[/QUOTE] but then there'd just be elves elves elves elves and more elves, they wouldn't even be the funny always-grumpy elves or the creepy cannibal elves nope just the haughty prissy gold ones

[QUOTE=Indyclone77;41591013]The Summerset isles invaded by Akavir[/QUOTE] I would love to see this.

So I wonder what the canon outcome for the civil war is? If the Empire lose Skyrim they pretty fucked against the Thalmor, as are the nords when they realise they can't fight the Thalmor on their own.

so I went on the nexus page for somber enb because I wanted to have a look at it and, well, I know this is asking a bit much but could you have ONE screenshot of your ENB that's NOT a closeup vanity shot? it'd really help kthxbai

[QUOTE=Altimor;41594066]wtf dont you want to see my animu char w/ 16384x16384 textures?[/QUOTE] it's just that some people might think that if you create a config for a mod that dramatically changes how all the lighting and shaders in the game look you'd want to show it off in more than 1 lighting situation then again seeing the subtleties in how the light and shadow play on the surface of 4096x4096 erect clitorati is a sight to behold

[QUOTE=Excalibuurr;41594110]Don't worry, he's going to get banned for offending your unrealistic anime characters.[/QUOTE] Not saying that all Nexus mods are good, but not everyone wants to play realistic Skyrim. Some just want to take the mechanics of an RPG and meld it with their own personal fantasies. That's their right to do that as much as it is for others to RP their Nords dying of frostbite.

Plus, as a mod author it makes sense to show off your mod in a way which shows its features, rather than the features of other mods (CBBE etc).

They exist at opposite, and extremely shitty ends of a very wide spectrum.

God fucking dammit, got The Battle for Fort Dunstad bugged out in a quite well through save. So, resetting the exterior cell, or waiting 30 in-game days, so the soldiers load and I can battle, rather than face an empty fort with 100% enemies remaining may work?

Alinor becomes the new Helms Deep but with draugr (lead by 14 power-tripping assholes) instead of Uruk Hai, and hopefully with the total destruction of the defenders.

That'd be kinda cool and funny, seeing a dragon fly with a large boat-like platform tied to it filled with nord warriors, then dropping it straight on top of Alinor. Few nords die but most charge straight into battle and endless fireballs. If only.

Were the draugr deathlords trained by greybeards or dragonborn? What's up with their shouting.

[QUOTE=Minelayer;41596686]Were the draugr deathlords trained by greybeards or dragonborn? What's up with their shouting.[/QUOTE] They're from before both of those. This was back when Dragons ruled Tamriel, and Kynareth had just granted The Voice to humankind. Most dudes could probably shout then.

I've tried all the methods for trying to get Esbern to talk. He just won't do it.

I have an NPC based on the AtronachFlame race, have it in PotentialMarriageFaction and have the Amulet of Mara equipped. Why don't I get the marriage dialogue?

Did you talk to whatsisname in the Temple of Mara and/or that pub?

Yes, I talked to him in the Temple of Mara.
