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

The slopey slope update to my mod is almost done I also fixed the fact that some shitlord at Bethsoft thinks gravity works differently when you're near the ground

[QUOTE=Excalibuurr;41865211]your stupid mod doesn't work, my laptop blew up when i went in third person, what skeleton do i need??? and is it compatible with 2k textures?[/QUOTE] At some point I accidentally fixed the Weird Shit™ in 3rd person as well. I don't even have to try, I just improve things by touching them.

Back with more questions about vanilla Skyrim. What's the point of charcoal or scrolls of paper? To be just as useless as pots and jugs?

[QUOTE=Excalibuurr;41865252]Yeah, that's amazing, I just realized that my laptop didn't really blow up, everything inside turned into gold.[/QUOTE] In the update I'm working on I mean, not the one on the nexus. That one will still blow up your computer if you go into 3rd person.

I touched a rock at a certain angle and my mod divided by zero, sending my character to the coordinates NaN, NaN, NaN. whoops [editline]16th August 2013[/editline] ok this is a pain in the ass to fine tune

I'm going to make a conjurer for the first time ever in Skyrim as a fresh playthrough. Any mods for conjuring you guys would recommend?

[QUOTE=Altimor;41866555]Why would you need mods for conjuring?[/QUOTE] Like I said, i've never even touched Conjuring. Don't know how fleshed out it is in Skyrim.

Conjurer playthroughs are kind of boring, saved for the bound weapons. You just spawn some generic NPC will silly AI and watch it kill things, not very exciting in my opinion.

[QUOTE=Whyt546;41866596]Like I said, i've never even touched Conjuring. Don't know how fleshed out it is in Skyrim.[/QUOTE] You spawn (a) Flame Atronach/Thrall(s) and chuck fireballs at shit together. It's the best thing in the game and I don't see how it could be improved upon. [QUOTE=evilweazel;41866658]Conjurer playthroughs are kind of boring, saved for the bound weapons.

It worked for me :v: AI was always too dumb to run at me and just wacked away on my Atronachs and got themselves killed. Boring.

I gave Morrowind another shot and got a lot more done this time around. I had fun but now I've stop playing completely. I really want to enjoy this game but there's so much wrong with it. The world is really bland and boring and there doesn't seem to be any locations that [i]don't[/i] exist soley for a quest. It's also really fucking annoying how Caius Cosades keeps telling me to come back when I'm a higher level, or once he's done "reading" something. It's also sucks to start a quest and find out that all of the enemies you encounter are higher level than you so you either have to try and avoid them or come back later.

[QUOTE=Sharker;41866993]It's also sucks to start a quest and find out that all of the enemies you encounter are higher level than you so you either have to try and avoid them or come back later.[/QUOTE] Yeah, it does kinda suck, but on the other hand I found that it really made me feel like I was growing as a character. It's satisfying when you're able to cleave up some monster that had you running like a little bitch several levels ago. I can't speak for the blandness of the world though. I'm using the Overhaul and everything is pretty.

Especially the questing part, because in Skyrim that's literally what everything is for (just constant quest grind) and for Morrowind I know for a fact that much of the world doesn't exist "just for a quest" and its one of the things that is good about it :v:

Why is it so satisfying to kill skeletons, they're so puny but it feels so good to see them fall apart, especially during kill cam. Too bad Skyrim didn't keep the zombies from Oblivion, they were the only enemies that truely creeped me out [IMG]http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_small/0/7242/1405018-headless.jpg[/IMG] *shivers*

I doubt you could beat zombies for creepiness in TES. I remember the first time I played Oblivion, I was going through the first 'proper' dungeon in the game (Vilverin, opposite the sewer grate) and I stumbled through it, into the second part, and then I found the undead. My torch ran out, and the moment I got another, there was a zombie [I]right in front of me[/I]. I managed to laugh and go 'holy shit!' at the same time.

What I liked about Skyrim was when I was going into Dungeons I sort of didn't want to because it was scary. (or you know it could be because they're awful)

I only realy found daggerfall/ morrowind's dungeons scary. Daggerfall partly because the player turns around rather slowly and morrowind partly because you could be wondering into enemies that are certain to defeat you.... But the sound design was pretty frightening too. The monster design was MORE frightening, just lacking because of how they're all sprites/low on pollygons. ghosts,zombies,daedroths,dremora,vampires and animals ( fucked up insect things) were far freakier and in my opinion better in morrowind.

Daggerfall is a better horror game than amnesia, I've actually nearly had a heart attack several times because of it's fucking wraiths/skeletons.

Could someone who can bear the horrible creation kit controls make me a big ramp to make a video of me sliding down Up in the sky too so I go flying across Skyrim

TEV VI Should have banshees that have no sound until they are right next to your ear and then let 'em rip. [editline]17th August 2013[/editline] Have fun playing with headphones.

Does anyone know any instances in which NPCs jump? I need to make sure I didn't break things.

only time I've ever seen them is when they jump down a ledge, never any other times.
