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

[QUOTE=Clio;40744297]why does a fucking thunder lizard live in water lol[/QUOTE] Electricity is probably a very efficient hunting method. Even moreso if you can toaster-in-the-tub that shit.

[QUOTE=DiscoInferno;40741141]Quick question: Who in the fuck thinks vampirism is a good idea in-universe?[/QUOTE] The problem isn't vampires, the problem is this version of being a vampire both breaks lore and is pretty much a state of being with zero downside other than feeding issues. It's both completely overpowered and makes you wonder why vampires haven't taken over everything.

where'd you get the sunglasses?

-I was wrong.

And yes, it's on LoversLab, so download the mod, take your browser history, douse it with gasoline and burn it. Also, the mod kicks you right in the lore, but some stuff is not bad looking at all.

Nice job

Yeah is there a significance to the the ghosts? I'd just replace them with robots with different eye/crystal colours.

Question: how the fuck does this enb stuff work? I downloaded the one off the nexus and copied it all to my skyrim folder but nothing looks different. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

it came with the mod I downloaded from the nexus and I placed it in the same directory as the executable

[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;40748224]Yeah is there a significance to the the ghosts? I'd just replace them with robots with different eye/crystal colours.[/QUOTE] They're not ghosts.

Sure you can get vampire lord in Dawnguard but all vanilla vampires get are some terrible once a day spells. Not regenerating health and stamina during the day is a pain in the ass too.

[QUOTE=redBadger;40748315]it came with the mod I downloaded from the nexus and I placed it in the same directory as the executable[/QUOTE] The d3d9 isn't really supposed to be in there, but oh well. SHIFT + F12 is the toggle.

is there no daylight fire for vampires like in oblivion?

I liked having to work harder to blend in as a vampire on Oblivion. It added to the sorely missed RP aspects to this RPG. Not to mention I kinda liked the flipped idea behind vampires, was very interesting when you first played the game. Having to seek out seedier places to actually talk to people, and those brilliant vampire lair mods, plus my own creations made quite a decent underworld for any of my "evil" characters. Just wish I had uploaded my mods so I could play them again.

[QUOTE=Clio;40751734]is there no daylight fire for vampires like in oblivion?[/QUOTE] Sort of but not really. Your attributes (ie stamina magicka health) take a beating to their capacity but you don't take continual damage, so at high levels it's pretty inconsequential to walk around in daylight since your attributes are so high anyways.

It's not that bad if you've played a lot of Daggerfall or Morrowind. That's just how stats were back then.

Skyrim sure picks the absolutely weirdest times to send a dragon after me. Down in Winterhold, enrolling in the mages' college and in the middle of the dialog, "EYRRRRRR!!" as it breathes fire. That was rather odd since all the other ones usually breathed ice. Is there some sort of organized interval of time when dragons comes. Next question, are the supplies of Dwemer parts to make ingots limited?

Pretty sure the dwemer scrap metals you use to make ingots will eventually respawn when the cell they're in resets after 15 ingame days of not being loaded. Even then, merchants will have dwemer ingots sometimes so the supply is technically unlimited either way.

Vampirism in Skyrim just reduces your regeneration for each attribute by 100% in exteriors from 7pm-5am. But that -100% can be negated with enchanting and blessings, for example if you have The Lady stone, you'll regenerate Health and Stamina back, albeit 25% as fast as the normal rate. With Necromage, Seeker of Sorcery and various enchantments (like the Ring of the Erudite you get from a vampire quest) you can easily bring your attributes back to regenerating at 100% during the day... and then 200% at night.

So I keep a journal of stuff which happens to my character while playing Skyrim, it has now swelled up to: [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/sdasdasd.png[/img] Anyone else do this? The fact that I've been playing this character since February 2012, and have only now run out of crap to do is a testament to something [sp]probably just my tolerance for tedium[/sp]
