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

[QUOTE=zeldar;41941170]While Malbus is generally well-received by most for his encouragement of peace among all, he hides a terrible secret. When he was first conceived his parents were condemned for polluting the Altmer bloodline with Breton blood, so powerful wizards placed a curse on him. On some nights when the planets are aligned just right, giant tentacles rise up from the ground and take control of his body (definitely recommend downloading Estrus for maximum immersion). Forever disturbed by these violations, Malbus vowed to become a pacifist. But after arriving in Skyrim he has heard whispers and rumors of a stronger Aldmeri Dominion growing in the land, its wizards experimenting on the use of the tentacle creatures deep within Nirn to enslave all who stand in their way. Malbus changed his last name to Nirnguide and made a solemn oath to protect all of Tamriel from the tentacles which have plagued him all his life, and perhaps even find a cure for his curse.[/QUOTE] Use the CK and make Estrus the main attack of Thalmor agents for even more immersion.

Try playing Skyrim with only one life, this is when I discover there's just terrible balance among the enemies.

Here's my character [b]Altimor[/b] Politically active, strong proponent of human/fire daedra marriage Is a powerful wizard, can change the laws of physics Also studying using magic to summon other Dragonborn from parallel universes Takes pictures of his Flame Atronachs on his ancient Dwemer camera Shows some of them at the Facepunch guild meetings

Since I post here the most out of any thread, I feel I may be able to post an unrelated question without pissing off everyone else. In the game, don't starve, I've been alive for 45~ days. I'm interested in using nightmare fuel to make weapons and armor. Using the weapon, or armor will drain sanity levels. My question is, will I die if the sanity level reaches zero? Thanks.

The last one died, so I didn't feel like bumping it

you should bump it

[QUOTE=war_man333;41942370]two clones looking at each other in Skynet?[/QUOTE] Indeed.

Main changes for RLO RC3 from RC2 are saturation and fog changes. Most noticeable during the day: RC2 [img]http://i.imgur.com/I5n9fwP.jpg[/img] RC3 [img]http://i.imgur.com/RsAP4gd.jpg[/img] I'll upload the file for people to try out here before I put it on the Nexus.

[url]http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/23625//?[/url] So this spell mod seems pretty neat. Anyone try it yet? Only thing that I'm no so sure about is that it appears to completely ignore the skill system i.e. you level up spells but your actual skill in that school of magic doesn't affect anything at all with said spell. At least, it doesn't say anywhere how your skills affect the spells.

[QUOTE=Tureis;41941436]Try playing Skyrim with only one life, this is when I discover there's just terrible balance among the enemies.[/QUOTE] There needs to be a mod that makes it so death isn't just "lewl reload your quicksave" And not those stupid mods that make it so when you die you turn into a ghost or something Like maybe it'll somehow disable saving entirely and save automatically every 3-5 minutes (to prevent crashes from being irrating), and then always save at the beginning of a dungeon or quest or something to prevent you from save scumming. And then maybe what it does is respawn you at the beginning of the dungion/quest/etc, with some kind of penalty (losing gold or w/e)? I dunno I just think it would be cool to have a mod that makes it so whenever you die you don't simply just load the save you did right before the fight over and over, and instead death is actually some kind of game mechanic.

So for some reason, dragons, or at least this one, is totally invisible. Anybody have any idea of what could be causing this? [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/LgU1KtI.jpg?1[/IMG]

Speaking of death, that one stupid draugr from that Taste of Death quest keeps pummeling me to death. Doesn't help whatever enchantments it has won't let me attack it back along with taking a quarter of health per strike (out of 200HP). Any particular anti-draugr method you people use?

Haven't learned "Ro" word. - Ain't got the magicka to chug fire runes and bolts everywhere and alchemy's a pain in the butt to figure out a good potion. - Other undead are in the room with him. The room is also dark and is blocked towards the right. - See above, seen when door opens even when sneaking. - What? - Does Crunk the Nord look like he's made of magicka? Used to spam atronachs on a previous character. The best I can even think of is to level up everything some more, go for Orcish armor (good as steel but lighter), and trap the room with runes if possible.
