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

made an illusion based character with Requiem on started me with no spells. gg, game was hard [editline]1st November 2013[/editline] getting one-shotted by wolves left and right fuck

Guys I want to make a destruction mage that only uses one element but I don't know if I should go for frost, fire or thunder, any advice ?

[QUOTE=Ganerumo;42727577]Guys I want to make a destruction mage that only uses one element but I don't know if I should go for frost, fire or thunder, any advice ?[/QUOTE] I'd go for thunder because fire magic is so unoriginal and frost magic is just so ordinary in Skyrim. besides thunder is electricity and so it's like science-magic and that's just badass

So this is (going to be) a thing [url]http://www.bethblog.com/2013/11/01/skyrim-mash-up-comes-to-minecraft-xbox-360-edition/[/url]

[QUOTE=Jallen;42728153]I'm surprised to see that after bethesda tried taking legal action against mojang for using the name scrolls.[/QUOTE] pretty sure it was just their lawyers. pretty sure bethesda isn't like valve where everybody is on the same level. they have departments.

Holy shit, they actually look human!

[QUOTE=Excalibuurr;42728445]Uh, Requiem gives you three perk points to invest in at the beginning, invest in the illusion mastery perks for spells. And wolves two shot you![/QUOTE] Stop giving them bows.

what the hell do i do if a reformatted and lost my saves man, do i just download a savegame from skyrim nexus or something

[QUOTE=formatme;42729692]what the hell do i do if a reformatted and lost my saves man, do i just download a savegame from skyrim nexus or something[/QUOTE] start a new game

BTW if anyone is trying to access the SKyrim Nexus Server, they have had a HDD failure today, so they're fixing it.

The nexus is down every day of the week. I guess to fix it they need a lot better and more hardware for which they do not have the money.

[QUOTE=Morderator;42736658]The nexus is down every day of the week. I guess to fix it they need a lot better and more hardware for which they do not have the money.[/QUOTE] The main problem is that they get nearly as much traffic daily as they did upon release over a year ago. Skyrim is an extremely popular game to mod, and people are uploading and downloading stuff almost constantly. Even if they did get better hardware, it still might not be enough to support the fifty-something-odd million visitors they get almost every day.

I recently heard some morrowind music again and felt I had to reinstall played for 10 minutes [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S89cazhKjqw[/media] swoosh swoosh swoosh paralysis

Reinstalled Skyrim and SkyUI gives a terrible lag. Every time I open my own inventory or loot a an enemy it takes about two or three seconds before the inventory shows up. Just started a new game with only a few (about 40) items in my own inventory. Disabling SkyUI makes inventory screens open instantly. Any ideas?

I'm carrying around enough items that equals around 1010 carry weight. Thank fuck for Bandolier - Bags and Pouches and Sabre Cat Gear Pack. I think its all the food I'm lugging around.

That happened on my laptop when I let my cousin play the game with that mod, without SKSE.

Woah, ditching the 38 course buffet I was lugging around really freed up some space. My 1010 carry weight is now 500-ish. I can actually take off my armor and move at a reasonable pace now.

So I've encountered a rather perplexing ENB issue... I'd been struggling to get a few parts of my configuration working - namely, the SSAO was refusing to function at all, and the color correction could've been a little better. I decided to upgrade to the most recent version. I replaced my old ENB files and transposed my old settings into the new files. Now, normally my game chugs along at 40-60 FPS with ENB enabled. However, today... [t]http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/3093/pvdu.png[/t] At one point it dropped all the way to [I]one[/I] FPS. You might notice something peculiar about this screenshot. Like, the fact that [I]ENB isn't even enabled[/I]. For some reason, when I look in certain directions (which happen to load more of the level geometry), this happens. Upon stepping outside of the building, the same thing happens, but only in one direction despite every direction having a large number of things to load. Even stranger, if I wait a while, the framerate stabilizes back to 40-[I]600[/I] FPS throughout all areas. Yes, 600. How do I unfuck Skyrim? Addendum: I seem to have partially fixed it by changing the [i]ReservedMemorySizeMb[/i] and [i]VideoMemorySizeMb[/i] settings in enblocal.ini. I increased the first one to 1500 MB. The second one was set to 0 by default, so I changed it to my graphics card's VRAM. I also disabled [i]ReduceSystemMemoryUsage[/i]. I still have strange stuttering when looking into certain directions, though. Also, interesting bug noted: Disabling ParticleLights will leave motion streaks all over your screen like a camera set to long exposure.

Does the Texture Optimizer make a difference in regards to the 3.1 GB crash problem, and does it noticeably change the quality of the textures it changes?

[QUOTE=myng;42749933]Do you have SKSE? That happened on my laptop when I let my cousin play the game with that mod, without SKSE.[/QUOTE] Yes, definitely, it shows SKSE in the menu at the bottom and the skse log correctly loads SkyUI. I've been digging around some more and the are dozen of people having the same problem on the steam workshop. Not solution unfortunately.

[QUOTE=GoldenDargon;42751798]Does the Texture Optimizer make a difference in regards to the 3.1 GB crash problem, and does it noticeably change the quality of the textures it changes?[/QUOTE] It'd be better to use DDSOpt, but it can help stop the 3.1GB crashes happening, and, apart from uncompressed normals I believe, you won't notice any drop in quality. If you do use DDSOpt, have a look at the STEP [url=http://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:DDSopt_%26_Texture_Overhauls]guide[/url] for it, that should help with the settings.

Any mod alternatives to [URL="http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/46378/?tab=4&navtag=%2Fajax%2Fcomments%2F%3Fmod_id%3D46378%26page%3D1%26sort%3DDESC%26pid%3D0%26thread_id%3D1198166&pUp=1"]this?[/URL] I love the idea of [sp]Serana actually NOT bitching at the problems that usually plague actual vampires after she's cured.[/sp] but if there's another mod that does this better and/or safer, i'd love that. Anyone?

Fighting another dragon whilst riding one is the least fun thing to do ever. The battles consist of you and the opponent circling each other and occasionally you stop and hover, than resume circling each other. Wasted a good 3-4 hours fighting a normal dragon with Odahviing. Wasn't fun at all.

Anyone?[/QUOTE] Assuming Bethesda didn't do something batshit fucking insane with the whole "Cure Serana" thing (and the Creation Kit decides to stop being a festering pile of shit for five minutes), the dialogue stopping would be easy - add a condition to each relevant line. The hood is likely more complex though, but not fixing it is still "lore friendly" - force of habit, after all.

How are peoples experiences with UFO? I'm a bit wary of installing it.
