Alchemy in Oblivion is boss. Is there a mod that makes Skyrims alchemy as cool?

[27X]

Alchemy is actually kinda broken as it is, much less with bells and whistles added, unless you mean interesting cause then there's this:

[ROFLBURGER]

Tbh I'm surprised there isn't a SKSE plugin or the such that makes it so that alchemy works like Oblivion where ingredients effects are learned automatically via perks.

I'm honestly tired of having to re-learn all the alchemy effects by spending like an hour experimenting. Sure I can waste 3 perk points by discovering the effects by eating them but that's 3 perk points

[Saxon]

I just look them up on a chart when I'm looking for a specific effect to make pots, I would never spend perks to know what they all are even if they were available.

Maybe that's cheating idk, but the beauty of TES is that you can play it the way you want.

[laarg]

Was a bit sad finding the destroyed/abandoned Cloud Ruler Temple in Beyond Skyrim, didn't help that their cover of Peace of Akatosh played while you walked around in it.

I just google "what the fuck do I need to make X in skyrim" and memorize them irl.

Vampire Dust and Luna Moth Wing is Invisibility
Snowberries and Blue Butterfly Wings make Fortify Enchanting

etc.

[editline]a[/editline]

Don't know all the ingredients that work, of course, but I know enough to get by. If I somehow manage to run out of butterfly wings, I know I could also use Chaurus Hunter Antennae.

Except for some reason a certain combination of the ingredients that work for Fortify Enchantment give me some sort of magicka poison or something dumb like that.

yeah but another problem is that i just couldn't give a fuck about alchemy

potions are plentiful enough where i just don't need them, and poisons are "meh" because I do a lot of damage anyways

[editline]4[/editline]

There was really never a point where it's like "oh it would be best for me to learn alchemy" like I would say for enchanting and smithing.

[butre]

can you do in oblivion like you could in morrowind with the paralyze+life drain+heal spell that lasted like an hour? I want to live off the suffering of my enemies

[ROFLBURGER]

How lore unfriendly would it be if I said "Oh the Skull of Corruption they give you in the main quest is a fake, here's the real one" in my quest?

Skyrim's Skull of Corruption is weaker and not the same effect as previous elder scrolls games.

[QUOTE=butre;52507615]can you do in oblivion like you could in morrowind with the paralyze+life drain+heal spell that lasted like an hour? I want to live off the suffering of my enemies[/QUOTE]

Yeah there are exploits you can do in vanilla skyrim where you enchant fortify alchemy gear, then make fortify enchanting potions, then repeat until you have the desired power, then do that jail multiple item equip glitch

your total potion strength needs to be like 12000% or something

This goes for all the artifacts in Skyrim and I really hate it. Most of them are just mid-high tier basic weapons with a decent enchantment on them and have a value of a few thousand septims, usually. It doesn't really go hand in hand with how they are supposed to be super powerful, ancient items that last throughout the ages and whatnot. Skyrim's version of Keening is especially insulting.

If anything is lore unfriendly, it would be the Skyrim version of the Skull of Corruption to begin with.

If Vaermina's quest was done the good way: "The Skull of Corruption has returned, seemed its shadow absorbed enough energy to make a swift return to Mundus."

If Vaermina's quest was done the evil way: "As you have carried the Skull of Corruption, it has been absorbing power from those around you, place it on this altar to unlock its full potential"

If Vaermina's quest hasn't been done: "Hmm, it seems in a twist of irony, The Skull of Corruption has its own twin. It's serving as a conduit for Vaermina's power here on Nirn. Perhaps we should let it be, or maybe bring it out to a wider world?"

This is why I have been playing requiem lately, Artifacts are indispensable tools if you can mange to get them. Enemies like vampires, dragons and werewolves will make you shit your pants if they get you off guard. In general things that have a reputation fuck you up really do.

Unfortunately its really grindy and often too repetitious

Spent most of the afternoon trying to get Texblend to play nice with Mod Organiser.

If you put all the input and output paths in the Texblend folder itself and give MO and all of calliente/cells bullshit admin, you have to do nothing else, same for nifskope, same for BS.

I put all my face and bosy texture mods into one mod folder, then ran Texblend through MO and it seemed to have worked. One test had everyone starting with totally black bodies before suddenly everyone got their skin after I turned around so I guess it worked or a mod I was testing messed it up.

The antagonist needs to have the skull of corruption, and in fear of compatibility issues or angering people who might like their current Skull of Corruption they're not going to be able to convert it.

The story goes that the antagonist was a previous champion of Vaermina, but given his current curse that makes him an immortal clusterfuck of energy, he did not give the staff up. When Vaermina tried to reclaim the staff, the antagonist put his own magic on it effectively doing what Malyn Varen did to Azura's Star to prevent reclamation.

I'm currently half done with the ability to clone another NPC. The process is basically having a template actor, then copying most of it's appearance to that template actor.

It actually works most of the time. You can effectively get a clone of the actor however there are some bugs:

- More of a limitation, but you cannot retrieve the body's color of a cloned actor. There is probably a method that involves using another mod (maybe racemenu has some developer script functions) that can do this but so far I can't find a way. I can hide the effects of this buy just giving the cloned actor it's own clothing that covers the whole body.
- Argonians are pretty fucked up looking when cloned.
- Sometimes the cloned actor T-Poses randomly.
- Sometimes not all the data is applied to the new actor.
- Another limitation, but there is no way to get the amount of facial weights the player has so you have to pick a number (Mine is 100) and check if the morph is being used. If for whatever ungodly reason the person has more than 100 possibly facial morphs used, then it won't have all the data needed to make a copy of it's face.

Maybe just go with the "it's a dream clone, its shadow. More fingers for Vaermina to creep into the realm of mortal" idea? Make yours gold to more easily distinguish between them?

So I'm finally done modding until I want to add the many quest mods I've gathered. And about time too since I was starting to turn into _Maverick_. Downloaded a follower mod with stonking great tits that gives you """"implied"""" breast milk daily. I actually downloaded it for the Engrish charm the Chinese modder and voice actress imparted on the character. I couldn't find a Cooking Mama companion...

Might be easier to just put a shader on the clone so it's all black or monochrome.

I was actually thinking of this, I've done it before and I have those shaders at the ready, it makes sense lore wise but it just seems lazy.

[editline]26th July 2017[/editline]

Oh I fixed most of the bugs involving tposing, incorrect data, and argonians being fucked up.

Before it was creating a brand new actor from a template actor using information from the actor that was being cloned to spawn stuff, now it's changing that template actor using information from the actor that was cloned to spawn stuff.

Only bug so far was that dudes were being turned into chicks and chicks were being turned into dudes but that's fixed.

There's no implication at all provided you look e ll sweyr for addon mods (they're named what they are for rather obvious reasons), also as one of the people whom had to fix Neisa to actually work right and not CTD any exit into an open cell, she never shuts up.

Add-on mods you say? She's already got a very heavy set of luggage! Also you can change the time between idle dialogue in TES5Edit, I had to do the same with the Bob Ross follower mod who spoke, like, every 5 seconds.

[27X]

I was supposed to fix what the author could not, not make QoL or sanity saving changes.

Did I mention she never shuts up?

Also if you dl'd from the original page it probably still has the bad navmesh edits to whiterun that Pandea never took out, so check the comments for fixes.
