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

[QUOTE=war_man333;40844814]It just doesn't fit Skyrim at ALL and is reason enough for me not to download it. Not lore-friendly?

I have to say I'm really digging the Bandit steel plate.

yeah man that mod is bangin', it looks lore-friendly to me. [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/2013-05-30_000012.jpg[/img] Here's my little Skyrim goodnight story for y'all: I sneak into a house called Hunter's Rest, which is to the northwest of Falkreath. So there's these two female (lesbian? hot) female hunters sleeping next to each other. Naturally, as any greedy Imperial would do, I commence looting their chest. On my way out, they both awaken, and one yells "HEY!!!" And I'm like "shiet yo, I didn't do nothing man, I don't e-" They both ready their fucking bows! "HEY I DON'T WANT ANY TROUBLE" guess what they woke up because a rabbit was running around some 100 feet away, and they started shooting it. I swear to fuck these guys have some crazyass hearing man.

[QUOTE=war_man333;40845446] I swear to fuck these gals have some crazyass [b]selective[/b] hearing man.[/QUOTE] Fixed it matey. Bitches be crazy an' all.

I like that scrounged dwarven armor.

[QUOTE=Daemon White;40844070]These are what I recommend to install for purely visual changes. Any / all options from [URL="http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/20801/?"]Texture Pack Combiner[/URL] <-- Realistic Overhaul is available as a torrent (Large textures version) since it was taken down from Nexus. Google it. [/QUOTE] How does ANYONE get this working without sporadic random Crashes relAted to the ram limit!? Please Tell me! I always hit 3.2 and faceplant the whole game.

Is there any mod for oblivion that makes little tweaks to the combat system? I don't like fancy, unpolished animations like deadly reflex, I'd just like a fix up to the existing one.

[QUOTE=Bomimo;40846226]How does ANYONE get this working without sporadic random Crashes relAted to the ram limit!? Please Tell me! I always hit 3.2 and faceplant the whole game.[/QUOTE] Make sure you don't have your uGrids set higher than 5, it really fucks with memory in Skyrim unless you are running completely mod-free. I used to crash all the time but putting it back down to 5 fixed all my issues If you don't have any clue what I'm talking about though then don't worry about it, it's already set to 5 then [editline]31st May 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=proch;40846248]Is there any mod for oblivion that makes little tweaks to the combat system? I don't like fancy, unpolished animations like deadly reflex, I'd just like a fix up to the existing one.[/QUOTE] I was gonna say deadly reflex, but I'm guessing it's not the same now as when I first played with it? Deadly reflex was amazing and a must have mod for Oblivion when I played it before skyrim came out. I assume by the sound of it it's really bloated now?

Would anyone know a good place to tweak Oblivion's graphics through the Nvidia settings? I'd like to have HDR and AA at the same time. I can't seem to get the AA going properly.

So when Skyrim is on the summer sale would Hearthfire be worth picking up since it's only going to be like a dollar or two, or are there mods that do the same things better?

Oh for fucks sake, what happened to that awesome looking orc head mesh replacer for oblivion The one with high detail textures and actually make the orcs look scary I posted it like a year back, but it's been buried in crappy mods since then on the nexus and I can't find it. [editline]31st May 2013[/editline] People who don't flag and name their mods correctly are the scum of the earth, literally worse than hitler [editline]31st May 2013[/editline] Jesus, here it is [URL]http://oblivion.nexusmods.com/mods/42037/?[/URL] Should go well alongside Nuska's character overhaul since her orcs still look pretty poopy (hard to improve on something that was already so awful)

Damn, reading the biography of the wolf queen in oblivion is awesome after having done the quest for sheogorath in Skyrim.

This sums up horses in Skyrim pretty well [img]http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9ObC4z4pBk8/UCqdxGa4QfI/AAAAAAAAQQw/oTakZ2NlCyw/s1600/sx.jpg[/img]

I feel like that's being more satirical, if anything.

500 enemies? I didn't realize there were that many types of draugr.

Some cool fan posters for ESO [url]http://elderscrollsonline.com/en/news/post/2013/05/31/eso-poster-challenge-winners[/url]

[QUOTE=hypno-toad;40855340]I'm not sure what's up with the creator and his kawaii hairs [/QUOTE] The creator of that mod is so confusing I just can't understand them AT ALL. Makes orcs badass as fuck, least kawaii face replacer on nexus, uses sexy male armor and anime hair mods... ON THE BADASS ORCS. I don't get it.

~snip~ Found a fix.

Persuasion in Oblivion is ridiculous. I don't get it. [editline]afds[/editline] [QUOTE=Excalibuurr;40857776]Put your mouse over the wheel thing, they will react differently (facial expression) depending on which section you put your mouse over.[/QUOTE] Well I know that part. It's just the minigame itself is awful and doesn't make any sense.

I find it especially funny when someone refuses to tell top-secret information because they don't know you but after 2 or 3 jokes and a few coercing lines they're willing to tell their whole life story.

[QUOTE=css_nerd;40858481]I find it especially funny when someone refuses to tell top-secret information because they don't know you but after 2 or 3 jokes and a few coercing lines they're willing to tell their whole life story.[/QUOTE] I just pelt them with money.

The concept of that isn't all that bad. Really, if you just meet somebody you're just a stranger to them, but if you talk for a bit then you're either an acquaintance or a friend. However I find it weird that you can go from telling a jokes in one instant, to threatening somebody the next moment. It's like a bipolar conversation. [I]"Hey, why did the chicken cross the road? to get to the other side" "haha, thats funny, how does it go again"...-"I'LL EAT YOUR SOUL YOU PILE OF HUMAN REFUSE" "stop it, you're frightening me![/I] Would be cool to see an rpg that just handles speechcraft/disposition through how you handle basic dialogue with people of specific personalities; like if you try to talk politics with some dirt farmer who doesn't give a shit about politics they'll just begin to dislike you after a while, and visa versa. Mind you we'd need to have more conversation topics for that to work :rolleye:

Damn, playing Oblivion and Skyrim simultaneously really reminds one how inferior skyrim is in a lot of ways. Looking at it now it took more steps backwards than forwards.
