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

[QUOTE=El Fonz0;47618941]Similar to my question on the previous page, what old or new weapon types would you like to see in future games? I'd like to see spears and other assorted polearms return, and I'd like to see hand to hand weapons, like in Fallout.[/QUOTE] Claws, Bladed Bucklers, Glaives, Halberds, Spears, Short Bows, Geatswords, Akaviri Nunchaku, staff, and I mean actual staff, not a super long stick you flail at people like an apoplectic spaz, flails, and single sided swords.

I'd actually like to see very crude muskets as rare and incredibly expensive weapons with rare expensive ammo and a somewhat lengthy reload time. This series has a lot of crazy bullshit and lore going on and I don't think the idea of one crude firearms would hurt the fantasy setting.

[QUOTE=Sharker;47619637]Is there a mod that will let me do the Civil War without starting the main quest?[/QUOTE] I looked up a mod that lets you do this but all I got was [img]https://i.imgur.com/zKuBltD.png[/img] [img]http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/emoticons/emot-golfclap.gif[/img]

I've encountered several small addons that had that message. usually by people who make mods that less that 100 people download each

does anyone else have problems with better vampires

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;47620451]does anyone else have problems with better vampires[/QUOTE] Not really. What problems are you having?

[QUOTE=Vehk;47620470]Not really. What problems are you having?[/QUOTE] mostly crashes. papyrus crash logs all lead to better vampires

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;47620481]mostly crashes. papyrus crash logs all lead to better vampires[/QUOTE] No crashing nope, only issues I had was that it fucked up the default night eye skill and bugged out with custom races.

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;47620481]mostly crashes. papyrus crash logs all lead to better vampires[/QUOTE] How do you even read those crash logs? I tried examining them to figure out why my game crashes upon entering my home, but it's all just a jumbled mess to someone like me. As a result, my first character is locked out of his home with all his loot and followers standing by inside...

[url]http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/53045/?[/url] if you're serious about using it, I advise you to read up about it.

Does anyone know why this happens? Its only in major holds that have gates in (Markarth, Solitude, Whiterun, etc), and only at night. It drives me nuts because in some places like Markarth, it literally looks like the matrix is bugging and theres flashing squares everywhere. It only happens at certain angles also, looking down usually makes it snap back, but looking back up again will make it look like that.

only advice I could think of is update drivers is anyone familiar to what "Skill Usage Mult" means for magic effects? [quote] Skill Usage Mult: For Spells, a multiplier to the Skill Uses that casting this effect will give the player. [/quote] What the fuck is a "Skill Uses", is that like amount of XP learned?

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;47620965]only advice I could think of is update drivers[/QUOTE] Drivers are up to date on version 350.12

Outside, the sun / moon counts as 1 light (Even if the intensity is set to 0, you can't turn it off), Then whatever 3 light objects *Usually guard torches*. When you add that 5th light, the mesh turns black and stops recieving all light, except ambient / fog.

So that paid mod, Purity, is on the nexus now. Is it any good? Looks at least half decent. [url]http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/65242/?[/url]

[QUOTE=Sharker;47617684]Requesting a mod that allows you to ask for directions and have npcs point towards the quest marker.[/QUOTE] "Excuse me! Do you so happen to know where Castle Volkihar is?" [I]NPC points in vague direction.[/I] "Thanks!"

[QUOTE=Hellsing4682;47621568]"Excuse me! Do you so happen to know where Castle Volkihar is?" [I]NPC points in vague direction.[/I] "Thanks!"[/QUOTE] Obviously pointless outside of a no UI playthrough. The idea is that it's an easy way to implement some kind of directions system and also allow some form of quest markers without actually having them.

"Excuse me! Can you point me to Mzulft?" [i]NPC looks deep in thought for a second, and then shrugs.[/i] "Thanks!"

[QUOTE=Vehk;47621713]"Excuse me! Can you point me to Mzulft?" [i]NPC looks deep in thought for a second, and then shrugs.[/i] "Thanks!"[/QUOTE] "Excuse me, can you give me directions to Sovngarde?" [I]NPC stares at you for a moment, before pulling out a sword and pointing at it[/I] "Thanks!"

"Excuse me, I'm looking for a werewolf." *NPC Points at a random wolf* "There Wolf"

Once OpenMW is released at 1.0 or whenever and people start making things with/for it, what do you think will be made? I'm pretty hyped to eventually be getting Morrowind on a non-shitty engine, but I have my doubts that a particularly large number of people will bother with it (or even know about it, compared to something like Skywind).

OpenMW is the future of TES modding honestly. A brand new engine means no hard limitations.

that feeling when you uninstall a player home mod with all your 100 hours of stuff in it and realising after 10-20 hours of gameplay rip

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;47621977]that feeling when you uninstall a player home mod with all your 100 hours of stuff in it and realising after 10-20 hours of gameplay rip[/QUOTE] Wait how did you not visit your house in 10-20 hours of gameplay?

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;47621977]that feeling when you uninstall a player home mod with all your 100 hours of stuff in it and realising after 10-20 hours of gameplay rip[/QUOTE] That's nothing. I removed my alternate start mod's .esp because it was causing a bizarre issue at level 10. Level 30 now and I've discovered that this seems to have caused me to be unable to read word walls or take dragon's souls. Guess I'm still never finishing the main quest :suicide: Also one character of mine suddenly can't talk to some people at all, and vendors don't have the "What do you have for sale?" dialogue option, and I haven't changed mods or anything so I have no damned clue why.
