The Elder Scrolls Megathread XVII: Paid Mods? Not in My Community. - Games

[QUOTE=Vehk;47680835]What exactly did you expect from a mod with "pinup" in the name anyways?[/QUOTE] Less about what I expected, more about what I wanted; [t]http://im.tech2.in.com/images/2011/nov/thingstodoinskyrim_th_640x360.jpg[/t] Edit: My cousin is trying to complete the game without killing anyone (at least insofar as no kills being listed in his stats, he still kills people with fall damage, unbound Ash Guardians, etc.). He's gotten up to Alduin, but he can't find a way to kill him that doesn't count as direct damage. His current plan is to try and reverse pick pocket some fire-enchanted weapons onto those fellows who help you fight him, but does anyone here have any other ideas?

Decided to check back in on the Prequel webcomic and it actually updated a bunch of times. Also Katia. [t]http://www.prequeladventure.com/this/story1701.gif[/t]

[t]http://www.prequeladventure.com/this/story1701.gif[/t][/QUOTE] Prequel makes me want Mysticism back, Kazerad makes it sound so cooool even if it barely matches up with how it works ingame, especially since it's not effected by Willpower. it also made me love the atronach birthsign for some reason

[sp]http://i.imgur.com/kaWZiXp.png[/sp] Neat! I was almost certain Prequel would either be dead or Katia would still be whining about everything but OH SHIT SUDDEN COMPETENCE.

[QUOTE=Vehk;47682190]Sorry, I got too hyped for my own good. Fixed it :v: Stop kicking my ass at Flash games :c [/QUOTE] Yeah that flash game is really good too! Lotsa quality in the animations.

[QUOTE=ClarkWasHere;47682207]Yeah that flash game is really good too!

Whoops doublepost awaaayy have a 'gonian stabbin' an imperial. [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/574525736850849970/FF992D1BA163F3909D095D49F736648599D86075/[/t]

Hmm I've only ever played as the human-races for any extended periods of time (at least since Morrowind). Probs gonna play a Bosmer and a Khajiit at some point. [editline]asd[/editline] Nightshade, a human heart and a chunk of human flesh? Oh Narfi, harmless as always. [editline]7th May 2015[/editline] Why did Talsgar just attack me? I had assumed last time it happened that it was because I had a bounty, but I haven't had a single coin worth of a bounty for all 28 levels of this playthrough.

Someone be my ideas guy. I got a lot of shit done today with my follower. Current quest on how you meet him is this. 1. Exchange greetings 2. Arexon suggests you steal two bottles of this special wine (wine basically kills the player if he goes "HURR DURR IM GUNNA BREAK THE QUEST AND CONSUME THE WINE") 3. Arexon puts something in the wine that makes it safe to consume. Problem is, it's basically drinking concentrated NyQuil™ 4. Player wakes up with no items or anything next to a corpse of an Orc that says "I'm sorry :(" carved in it (too edgy?) I'm stuck on what comes next. [editline]7th May 2015[/editline] Corpse belongs to a debt collector. Original idea was Arexon was planning to sell the player's items to pay off the debt.

I was almost certain Prequel would either be dead or Katia would still be whining about everything but OH SHIT SUDDEN COMPETENCE.[/QUOTE] I was pleasantly surprised to see it updated. Hell, I'm so glad I discovered the existence of it all a while back and it's come quite a long way. It's actually got a good story and dare I say it, it's a bit inspiration in its own extremely quirky and cooky way. Kazerad knows his shit it seems. [QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;47682761]Someone be my ideas guy. I'm stuck on what comes next.[/QUOTE] Plant some sort of evidence on the corpse that sets you out on a trail to tracking down Arexon? Maybe he dropped something?

I really like the sulphur springs in Eastmarch. It's just so... different from everything else around Skyrim.

I made a new mod. I'll let it speak for itself. [video=youtube;wmblujn4eDg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmblujn4eDg[/video]

How the hell does [URL="http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/65393/?"]this[/URL] mod work? It implements cubemaps without the use of an ENB? [t]http://static-7.nexusmods.com/15/mods/110/images/65393-5-1430660053.jpg[/t]

Skooma. Lots of it.

Hey guys, I started making this sword for Skyrim and wanted to put some words on it in the Daedric alphabet. Any ideas? The image of the sword is still a wip so everything can change. [IMG]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/49828537/Art/paints/swords.png[/IMG]

So I'm going for a survival approach to skyrim now, so far I've installed RND, Campfire, Dovahkiin Relaxes, and Hunterborn, any other mods that are geared towards a survival aspect, but don't make it super fucking hardcore? edit: nvm about Frostfall, I'll wait till 3.0 comes out next month

These are gonna be pretty blunt because I figure that is the kind of brutal criticism we looking for here. What is this wine, why is this wine deadly, who the fuck made this and why, whats the point of a wine you can't drink, what hardcore motherfucker made this shit? Can I also just buy it? Why does he have a convenient way of making it safe? how did he get it? why and how. It makes it seem very anti-climatic so far. Because you are introduced to a new special rare wine and this character just happens to have a special fix for it. Maybe this is me thinking too hard on it, but yeah. From what you've wrote of him, he's honestly just kind of a two-bit loser so I don't know how he got this specific anti-poison. Why do I have to drink it? What if I don't want to drink it? I feel this forces me into a role-play option. I'm not going to trust some shady guy and even if I did, I don't know if I want to drink it right next to him. I must be a real idiot to just trust some guy I just met that his item will cure this of poison and we'll be cool together. Why in the mother of fuck did he carve "I'm Sorry" into someone after killing them? Sure he is a debt collector and I assume wanted his debt, but your character has now jumped from a two-bit thief that ran away from his problems like a child, to a fucking cold blooded murderer that partially mutilates people. Why did he even kill him at all? But if he really has to kill him why in the Christ didn't he just write a note and put it on or near the body? I don't mind twists and turns, shocking events in a story, but I'm just speaking as more of a critical voice here. I'm confused due to lacking context, you've described parts and history of your character before, but I am not sure of the connection in his development you've made that makes this a logical move for him. [editline]8th May 2015[/editline] I do wonder where you'll go with the story though, its certainly full of potential and you have tons of ideas. I think this can work out great.

[QUOTE=doommarine23;47685062]What is this wine, why is this wine deadly, who the fuck made this and why, whats the point of a wine you can't drink, what hardcore motherfucker made this shit?[/QUOTE] Small point on this: Argonians [I]are[/I] poison resistant. I don't know if this is canon or not (though it totally should be), but the idea comes up a lot that Argonian food tends to be spicy to them, but poisonous to other races (which fits really well with the Mesoamerican thing they have going on in ESO).

Trying to fight a dragon with a fucked up middle finger is a major pain in the dick. I'm actually considering using my Xbox 360 controller for a while.

Anyone know what causes this bug? It looks really off when looking in to the distance and medium/heavy fog just cuts off on the sky. [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/718666459873571983/2273D4C6C2D863D5D13BE5AE0B4231510BD37A10/[/t]

Anyone know of any mods that could let me play a proper Illusionist style character? Want to play a Loki-like character, but vanilla Illusions suck.

I left it out because I was on a phone and I didn't think anyone would care about the wine. The wine was made in Black Marsh, it's tailored to heavy Argonian drinkers. Here's the rough draft of the letters. [quote]Delphine, Here's your Snake Wine Shipment for Black Marsh. PLEASE be careful with the stuff; I don't want an angry letter from you telling me that I didn't warn you. Here's my warning: Only serve this to Argonian who ask for it by name. If any other race manages to get their lips around this, their stomach will turn into putty and seep through their own skin, If they weren't dead now then they'll definitely be dead when they hit the floor. - Some Lorefriendly Argonian Name[/quote] [quote]Arexon, I got a hold of that special Black Marsh wine you requested, I hope you're not planning on poisoning the town with it. Anyways, I trust you remember that agreement we made about payment? I'm down 900 septims and I would greatly appreciate it if you paid me back as soon as possible. The wine will be waiting for you here until you pay. - Delphine [/quote] - Current lore of the wine: Distilled in Black Marsh, flavored with poisonous herbs. Since there's no yeast or sugar in Black Marsh they use plants similar to it. Only certain breeds of Argonians can drink this without dying, Arexon is one of those breeds of Argonians. - and that whole "what if I don't want to drink it" option is there, I'm thinking of just casting a paralyze spell at the player and apply the same effects. - arexon also detoxifies the wine with some basic skyrim herbs so the player can now drink it - the orc was pretty much a thief too, he sent thugs to arexon and after arexon dispatched of them so the orc got mad and tried to deal with the situation himself - the dead body also contains letters to arexon from the orc so arexon could use that as his "please understand where I'm coming from" as well as a full written apology letter trying to explain his situation [quote]To Whom It May Concern, I would like to thank you for volunteering your equipment for a good cause. I hope there are no hard feelings between us. I'm glad that you came along when you did. I don't think I could defend my actions, so I'll let someone else do it. I urge you to read the letters that were sent to me, they should be located on the same vessel as this man. If you don't care for them, please use use them as coverings if you wish. Please meet me in Riverwood after you calmed down. Your stuff will be waiting for you there. - Your friend, Arexon XOXOXOXO [/quote] like I got most of this figured out, im trying to get an idea of where to go from there. if there are plot holes I'll come back to them later. idk it just seems silly that "oh i stole all your shit but i'm sorry please come see me" so I'm asking for ideas. [editline]8th May 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=BrickInHead;47685389]leave a journal on the orc or nearby that mentions some sort of safehouse for Arexon that the Orc is going to pay a surprise visit to if he doesn't get paid off that the player has to go to, where they find Arexon who himself is knocked off his ass on the wine, steal your shit and his and then run off. alt have some fun dialogue or something have Arexon track down the player some time later and move forward from there[/QUOTE] this sounds like a great idea, i already have some letters from the orc to arexon, I could probably get rid of the "meet me in riverwood" and replace it with the orc saying "ill go to your hideout in <hideout location> and pay you a visit myself" I just need to find a vanilla location to use.
