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

After the nexus mod manager decided to be a fucking bastard and delete every single one of the mods I spent 3 and a half days or so finding, downloading, installing and fixing conflicts with, and considering several of the ones i liked seem to no longer be available, I find myself fucking done with playing skyrim for quite some time. Anyone know of any good oblivion mods that are enjoyable?

[QUOTE=Sgt-NiallR;43527216]I, and everyone else with a bad internet connection thank you profusely for posting that behemoth[/QUOTE] Yeah, for a 22mb gif you may as well have just posted a video A video with audio would probably be smaller yet

[QUOTE=1chains1;43526976]Well if you would pay attention, this mod fixes the vanilla one where you have to constantly sheave to switch or else it fucks everything up. So this removes most of the bugs that your .ini tweak creates. Furthermore the dropping of a weapon is a feature that can be turned on or off in the MCM menu and also makes your argument pretty much amount to "I didn't give this mod any of my time because I assumed I already know everything about it". edit - FURTHERMORE, the torches being lit even when dropped is separate from the weapon dropping option meaning, you get two decent fixes with one optional feature, so this is actually a pretty damn good mod.[/QUOTE] am i wrong, though, or does it 'fix' the vanilla issue by forcing you to sheath your weapons each time? i.e. not really fixing it, but automating the keypress that prevents it? [editline]13th January 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=xxfalconxx;43526987]that's what it was. -fucking balls huge gif- that should do it, now that it's in the public folder.[/QUOTE] seriously though bro, please link that

I just experienced the strangest bug ever I was up at the giant camp south west of the Western Watchtower testing out Equipping Overhaul. I made a guick save in case anything fucked up. The mod has been working fine so far, I have a dagger, a greatsword, a bow, and a longsword all visible on my character, with Thunderbolt being dual-wielded. I fire off some Thunderbolts, then switch to my greatsword, swing a couple times, then switch to my longsword. Now, this is where things go wrong. I forgot to disable the dropping of your weapon, and my enchanted dragonbone greatsword flies out of my hand and is flung to the stratosphere by the giant I'm fighting. After killing the damn thing, I try my fucking hardest to find my greatsword, but it was dark and it was no where to be seen. I quickloaded my save, and then went into third person (I was in first person at the time of save). I expected to see my badass, dragonbone weapon wielding Nord, but instead I saw my horse, a little ways back at Elysium Estate. I couldn't move or change my view, and the ground was using it's LOD model(single texture, stretched out). I quickloaded my game again, and this time I couldn't move my camera up or down. I could only move it left or right. I figured that if I mounted my horse then got off again, everything would go back to normal. Boy was I wrong. I mounted and then dismounted my horse, but the camera stayed focused on my horse, while I was left running around blindly in the background. I could move my camera again, but my character wasn't following the movements. I think I fucked something up. EDIT: I just tried reloading an earlier save after relaunching the game. Everything was still fucked up. I'm uninstalling Equipping Overhaul to see if that was the problem

[editline]13th January 2014[/editline] [/QUOTE] Well if you would take the time to actually watch the video or go to the page he states rather explicitly: "This well known geared up setting can be used seamlessly and now there is a long wanted fix for all of its issues! Go ahead, swap your weapons while they are drawn!" So yes, it is not a half assed fix as you keep assuming it to be, and you could've saved yourself and I some time by actually researching what you're blowing off.

If Equpping Overhaul was the problem I'll just have to resort to a save where it wasn't installed. Good thing I didn't do much since installing it. EDIT: I just loaded a save before I installed it. Everything works fine. I'll figure this shit out tomorrow.

[QUOTE=DChapsfield;43529005] seriously though bro, please link that[/QUOTE] too late now, someone's gone and quoted it. I'll link it out of courtesy so you don't suck up 44 meg every time you visit this page. Also nearly done with my recorded playthrough of that mod. as it turns out, it's a tremendous lagfest due to particle spam and unoptimized bits and bobs. and I haven't even gotten to the final fight yet.

I just don't like answering questions that can be found in the second paragraph of a mod linked on this very page. It would be like me commenting on an article that describes fixing leaks with a question "Wait, does it fix the leaks or merely mask it?"

Morrowind Update: Seeks-The-Stink is the Nerevarine. That is all.

[QUOTE=Xenomoose;43529774]Morrowind Update: Seeks-The-Stink is the Nerevarine. That is all.[/QUOTE] But every character you play Morrowind with is the Nerevarine?

Guys I need some feedback on a model for Skyrim. It's based off the zombie from Cyrodiil, for the Beyond Skyrim project. It feels as though it's lacking something before I texture it, any ideas? Post is [url=http://www.darkcreations.org/forums/topic/5479-zombie-model/#entry188277]here[/url] with a picture of it. Sorry for the link but I have no idea how to link the image onto here.

It's better to just upload it to a non-forum host in the first place either way, that way all you have to do is post a link to send it to multiple people or forums instead of re-uploading it.

[QUOTE=redBadger;43526679]Why anyone would like playing in a dark as fuck world is beyond me[/QUOTE] Pitch black dungeons are awesome because they actually require you to prepare for them.

[QUOTE=fear me;43530153]But every character you play Morrowind with is the Nerevarine?[/QUOTE] That was just my way of saying I beat the main quest, which is pretty important news if you have no life like me oh god why am I so alone??? ... Also, it means I'm that much closer to my goal of playing through all five games in a row. I still need to do the expansions but still.

Novajam made a new video. [video=youtube;v9DhC3wmJXo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9DhC3wmJXo[/video] Featured on GEMS. File of the month November 2012. ..what. Speaking of which, is there any really good follower mods? With good voice acting, quests (if there's any), normal looks (not a duckface with pornoarmor)?

The YouTube play button was partially covering up the 't' in Guilt Trip. For a second I hoped it said Guild Trip as some clever pun about all the fetch quests the guilds make you do.
