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

Nevermind, just needed a re-install.

So Boris just added cloudshadows to ENB. It looks really fucking neat. [url]http://enbseries.enbdev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2623[/url] Not my picture below. [T]http://i.imgur.com/LkhtgTz.jpg[/T]

It's kind of frustrating when I play Fallout for a bit and then switch to Skyrim and try to enter VATS with a bow/arrow and nothing happens, and I realize that I'm boned as a cave bear swats my face off.

God damn...I still haven't found Nazeem. I fear his soul is to be forever lost within the Ghost Sea. Maybe I should go take Heimskr's instead...

I'm still upset over the fact that he died after I went on my werewolf romp in Whiterun during the Companions quest line.

I was going with Opethfeldt's ENB, since I've loved it before but it doesn't work with COT properly indoors, so I'm trying to think of a similar config in style.

In fact, the only reason I'm going to let him go is because his loud voice adds atmosphere to Whiterun, and I love atmosphere. That said, I suppose Nazeem's soul is gone. Maybe I'll look for it one more time later on... By the way, I finally caved recently and decided to get SkyUI, but when I enter the game I'm greeted by one of the infamous error code messages, Error Code 1 specifically. Now I read through the help links provided on their download page and I made sure I was doing everything 100% correctly and installing properly. I'm wondering, is the current version of SKSE just not working at the moment? Was there a patch for Skyrim recently I'm unaware of that broke it? Anyone else having this issue by chance? [QUOTE=ScottyWired;43155425]*Pic* The scene just felt really familiar. [sp]replace draugr with orcs[/sp][/QUOTE] Y'know, looking at it closely, you're right. That place really reminds me of Orcs Must Die.

Playing Oblivion again as a Bosmer Archer Damn bows do some damage

Bows will always be the most op thing in TES as long as the ai is shit, most of them lack any brains and can be lured into choke points and pockets in the geometry so they get stuck. Not to mention how they out range all spells and have a sneak attack multiplier. I mean honestly, if you're far enough away and you land a sneak attack the ai just walk out around with gormless looks asking if anyone is there. "OH FUCK AN ARROW JUST HIT ME IN MY SHOULDER FROM THE EAST." "HMMMM, SOMEONE COULD POSSIBLY BE AROUND OUR CAMP LET US JUST SEARCH IN SMALL CIRCLES, PROBBALY JUST UR IMAGINATION THOUGH."

[QUOTE=Elspin;43155559]In skyrim it's even worse, since magic was nerfed so hard and smithing/enchanting is so strong you can basically fire tactical nuclear strikes :v:[/QUOTE] I got a collection of mods that together make all spells get stronger as their governing skill levels up, makes destruction magic stronger with each Novice-Master perk, and swaps the armour and potion effects for magic fortification so that armour enchants make your spells stronger and potions make them cost lest. Sure my basic firebolts can now do like 120 damage after only a moderate amount of Destruction and Enchanting training, but I just play on Legendary difficulty and it all balances out. Magic is actually competitive against Ultra-Legendary Fortify-Smithing-Abused Daedric Bows now with my setup.

By the gods somebody must make it happen. Gotta have a fun way to unleash our rage against them. Shouting them off cliffs is fun but man we need a mod dedicated to their slaughter.

For the past week, My dovahkiin character has been building up smithing supplies, filled soul gems, and grabbing Elixers of Smithing and Enchanting. After getting the almost highest mathematically possible without using exploits and such, I think that Skyrim's enchanting and blacksmithing can become almost nearly as OP as morrowind, game-breaking wise. This is what happens when you go and get 100 lvl Smithing plus 206% Smithing bonus from four pieces of enchanted equipment and an Elixir, then upgrade armors and weapon, then take an Enchanter's Elixir with 100 lvl Enchanting, and enchant your gear, PLUS perks in respective areas.

Pickpocket is 90% better (I use Unofficial Skyrim Patch to fix the pickpocket skill boost problems) Frost and fire resistance is 42% (92% if I raise my shield to block using the block perk that raises destruction resistance to 50% when shield is raised) Magicka regenerates 140% faster (for all the other schools that I still have to use magicka with) One handed does 280% damage, +180% from enchantments = And the final product for my damage, which would be 138 without bonuses [t]http://i.imgur.com/DVP4Unw.png[/t] Holy cow! That's enough damage to wipe the floor with an Ancient Dragon in 5 Standing Power Attacks! Not to mention the fact that I could infinitely dual-charge, And I have the Destruction Dual-Charge stagger perk, to stop dragons from shouting their nasty breaths at me. And then, after finding out my true power,[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uu4emT6btH4] I unleashed it upon five dragons at their lairs, with this song playing in the background.[/url] They didn't stand a chance. And it only took me ~69 hours to get from the beginning of the game to now with this character. Sheesh. I also have completed: The Thieves Guild (Including No Stone Unturned and the sides quests to become [sp]master guild man[/sp]) Mage's College (Unfortunately can't do the side quests for the master spells yet, not enough magickal skills) Companions (All's left to do is to [sp]cure Vilkas and Farkas of Lycanthropy[/sp]) Dark Broho And I'm level 55.9 [t]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/469796215445303346/B8612314CC37F4D7903D6E96E90BFE36951AF040/[/t] Wow. [sp]Also, sorry for the long post ;P[/sp] And I'm still on The Way of The Voice quest lol.

Well, not until now.

Lessons I've learned so far from skyrim sex mods : - in tamriel, sperm is luminescent. - bandits are really conflicted whether they really like or really hate you. - telepathic dicksucking is a thing. - legs can bend in really odd ways. - prostitution brings more money to the table than risking your life in dungeons every day for loot - people can be really annoyed at your nakedness regardless of their own. Truly a wonderous experience.

I read the whole SkyRe page and it sounds exactly like what I want. Now I need to sort out the reproccer and check if it conflicts with my insane number of mods installed, I think I'm at like 375 right now. Stupidly high.

[QUOTE=Ganerumo;43155967] - people can be really annoyed at your nakedness regardless of their own. Truly a wonderous experience.[/QUOTE] That can happnenin the vanilla game at a spring somewhere in Eastmarch. I found out people respond to you not having armor after [sp]telling Malborn to smuggle the wizard gear I was wearing[/sp]. I went to go sell my dragon scales, and someone pointed out I was wearing nothing.

So I went to this place.. [t]http://i.cubeupload.com/sSe1Rc.png[/t] [t]http://i.cubeupload.com/O4qJ02.png[/t] I seriously didn't expect the Dawnguard addon to be this goddamn good. Normally I'm not too fond of DLC in general but Bethasda did more than an OK job on this one. On a side-note, werewolfs are fucking scary. And while I'm at it.. another generic screeny I thought looked pretty.

Someone on the forums made a video for the cloud shadows. [video=youtube;HUwRH-QJZmU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUwRH-QJZmU[/video] Now I don't use enb (because I want native AA) but this looks pretty damn cool.

nice. i hope it's not too much of a bitch to make the custom animations

I finally got nearly everything installed but now suddenly no one is animated, it's just the normal A frame type stance suddenly. Ugh. Now I need to find the incompatibility. I did find RealClouds to be really great, though the clouds are a bit low sometimes. It did give a fantastic feeling in the mountains.
