[QUOTE=Askaris;41731779]Get OCO, remove potato[/QUOTE] There will always be potato, potato is forever.

[QUOTE=InUndenial;41727176]You are actually worse than the average Rust kiddie. Just please leave.[/QUOTE] Shut up. God forbid he says something "bad" about your lizard waifu

Finally got the platinum trophy on Skyrim, now just need to play the DLC.

[QUOTE=Morderator;41731620]All races are equally good at everything in TES. There are minor differences such as the Altmer magicka boost or some racial powers you'll forget to use. But at end-game a Nord is as good a thief/sneak/whatever as an Khajiit. Stats only matter at the start, better pick a good race for roleplaying purposes.[/QUOTE] the orcs daily ability is awesome taking half damage and doing double damage scales well Khajitts extra unarmed damage is amazing as well.

It's extremely difficult to have a half decent magicka reserve without choosing a dedicated birthsign. Altmer at any given level are able to outstrip other races in the likelihood of successfully casting a spell as well as having the magicka to do so. This is because of the way levels cap out.

Hey guys, can you recommend me some interesting (overhaul) mods to get me playing again? (Skyrim)

Wait, when did the thread title change?

NOW

[QUOTE=Cypher_09;41734040]Hey guys, can you recommend me some interesting (overhaul) mods to get me playing again? (Skyrim)[/QUOTE] SkyUI After that, everything is all about personal opinion. Do you find the combat lacking in some way? Do you think the graphics are nice but need a few touches? Do you desire more in depth and unique quests? Perhaps a more lively Skyrim? The list goes on. It's all about what you believe would make the game more enjoyable. Just think about what you hate or dislike and search the workplace or Nexus for a mod that caters to the desire of fixing it.

Does anyone else think that the whole "rent the attic room at the Sleeping Giant" thing really fucking stupid? Like, anyone with half a brain cell can tell that it doesn't have an attic, let alone an attic room. Seems like an ex-blade would be a little smarter than that.

How she tells you to go and wait for her in a room, only to approach you immediately and tell you to follow her into another room. She then instructs you to close the door as if no one can just open it afterwards...She thinks she's being clever and sneaky but really just being suspicious and annoying.

Could someone unpack and upload the dwarven armor textures? My BSA unpacker throws an out of memory error whenever I try to extract anything from Skyrim's .bsa files.

Best part is asking to use the attic room, let her enter the room you have to go in and then just leave the inn, become arch-mage, leader of every guild and thane of every hold for then to return and see that she is still waiting for you as if you were gone for just 5 seconds. You can do this for pretty much every quest and there is no sense of urgency. It's not that I complain about it, I just find it hilarious.

I'm having an issue when retexturing Dwarven weapons and armor. If I try to darken the main texture, in-game it turns golden again. I'm trying to turn it dark grey because of reasons but since I'm an amateur modder, I can't tell what's causing this hue ingame.

Have you tried editing the bump maps?

[QUOTE=Ryo Ohki;41734846]It was a pass phrase, it's indeed so unlikely that somebody would ever ask for something like that unless they read the note in the ruin Beats going "hello I am the dragonborn can I see your secret room"[/QUOTE] The most annoying thing about that quest is that, by the time I get to it, I've probably killed 80 dragons and can blow up the moon with my mouth but she's like "I need to make sure you're Dragonborn." I've killed at least eight dragons [I]in[/I] Riverwood. Pay the fuck attention lady.

[QUOTE=DrasarSalman;41735449]Have you tried editing the bump maps?[/QUOTE] Is that the _n.dds or _m.dds file?

[QUOTE='[Green];41735609']Is that the _n.dds or _m.dds file?[/QUOTE] _n is normals, _m is enviroment mask To answer your question, it's probably the cubemap (dwarven stuff uses textures\cubemaps\Bronze_e.dds I believe) Editing that is a bad idea since it's used in a whole lot of other things so you might have to edit the .nif files to remove it OR even better make a skin that doesn't use it in the CK [QUOTE=Sgt-NiallR;41734902]Well yeah, but it makes them obvious to Delphine, and there's no reason to assume that whoever took the horn is benign.[/QUOTE] "If you didn't trust me you were a fool to walk in here in the first place.", Delphine's words You have the choice not to make you obvious to her but you will never get the lead that ultimately allows you to defeat alduin Beside, did you REALLY realize it was delphine who took the horn the FIRST time you played? I'd be surprised

[QUOTE=Ryo Ohki;41735774]"If you didn't trust me you were a fool to walk in here in the first place.", Delphine's words[/QUOTE] "But how was I then supposed to get that horn?" -unseen dialogue option.

Does anyone know if the Elder Scrolls Anthology is available for pre-order yet? I see it on Amazon but I don't do online orders. At least not right now.

I just told Delphine off and walked out of the inn. I didn't come back until awhile after, and there she was still in the ~super secret~ room.

[QUOTE='[Green];41736061']hngh, i'm really just a Photoshop rookie. Guess i'm better off just downloading an already made skin or something.[/QUOTE] It beats me why but in skyrim there is a bazilion things involved in retexturing, depending on what you're trying to modify Some models have a color overlay stored inside the model file itself (aswell as transparency, because alpha maps apparently weren't enough), on top of textures and whatnot

[QUOTE=Askaris;41731779]Get OCO, remove potato[/QUOTE] It probably didn't help that I was already using another facegen mod, but all OCO did was make my character look like [URL="http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/595884953697343438/080BCEC5590408234D9124E4D640AC91DAF967E0/"]a starving goth chick that was also well on her way to becoming one of the many Splicers who would go on to be victims of a serial killer with a monkey wrench[/URL]. A little showracemenu editting didn't do much to alleviate it either So yeah, I guess I'll save that for another playthrough with a different character after V2 of that mod comes out.

Eh. if i was the protagonist in skyrim; thalmor: we're hunting talos worshipers me: Okie doke. *thalmor guys carry on peacefully* i smile as i stride away in a gallant fashion [I]Failing that i'd offer to show them a worshiper, lead them to a dangerous place or poison their food and rob their corpses. (always assume i rob corpses) Or i'd plant Talos items onto people that i hate and suggest they search that person. [/I] You absorbed a dragon soul. Shout! show us the power of the voice. SHOUT!! me: FUCK OFF!!!! *avoids fame and treats dragon shouting like a parlour trick* Fight on our side in this civil war!! *negotiates* college/thieves guild/companions/dark brotherhood: YOU'RE THE CHOSEN ONE me: "is that so?" *raise one eyebrow and pose inquisitively* karliah: i had to shoot you because it was hard to shoot mercer and then i got within sword distance because it's dramatic and yolo *loots corpse* Failing that: She explains everything about nocturnal me: Fuck that. Get over it. you've been fucking around for 20 years. it should be sorted by now. Yep... I couldn't possibly be a typical protagonist.
