The Elder Scrolls Megathread XX: Might as well be XXX

[LosttoLauren]

The great part about Jeremy Soule's music is that you can grab his stuff from all the Elder Scrolls and Guild Wars, put it in one game and you suddenly triple the tracks while keeping them all thematically consistent :v:
There are times in GW2 where I'm certain the song is from Morrowind now which is confusing but pretty great

[ROFLBURGER]

[QUOTE=myng;52382777]i will never not sing the praise of jeremy soule. the elder scrolls wouldn't be the same without his music. i'll be sincerely disappointed if TES:6 doesn't include him[/QUOTE]

What if it's by Hans Zimmer?

my previous statement still stands

[ROFLBURGER]

[QUOTE=myng;52383309]my previous statement still stands[/QUOTE]

some scene would probably work better with hans zimmer music and jeremy soule music tbh

[SepiaGnome]

Are there any mods for Morrowind to add pauses and ambient periods between the music tracks?
I love the music but it gets very repetitive.

Am I going to be missing a lot of mods if I use Skyrim Special Edition?

Probably. It depends what you want to install.

[Monco]

[QUOTE=Lone Wolf807;52386253]Am I going to be missing a lot of mods if I use Skyrim Special Edition?[/QUOTE]

That's gonna depend on what type of mods you like to use. Things like gameplay overhauls, new items, new quests, mesh/texture replacers will all work fine with SE (though, some armor meshes need to be converted to the new format- you can do this yourself with Outfit Studio if there isn't an SE version of the armor available).

Some mods with dynamic settings (such as dynamic loot tables, user-defined enemy spawns, etc.) and most mods that make changes to the UI (such as RaceMenu or SkyUI) will not function without Skyrim Script Extender (which doesn't exist for Skyrim Special Edition).

Yes.

There also mods that are exclusive to SSE.

[QUOTE=gk99;52379833]The only thing I remember from Oblivion without going back and playing it is Auriel's Ascension and the main theme, so I'm gonna say it's a case-by-case basis.[/QUOTE]

I'd post more but I don't want to overload the page with youtube, since it makes it load slower for some people, here's a few more in text form.

Oblivion had a fantastically atmospheric soundtrack, hell I'd post the entire soundtrack, but I picked out my favorite Wings of Kynareth and a few specific ones, it's all so good at setting a scene.

[Slendermang]

Another question, is there any mods for Skyrim akin to Fallout 3 Redesigned? As in, it redoes the NPC faces to look more natural/fit their characters if there's discrepancies?

[_maverick_]

Speaking of SSE is there any news on it for legendary edition?

[Scarfulhu]

Hey all, I'm gonna be streaming Oblivion every Friday at 9PM UK, starting this week, and so I've made some polls for what character I should make. If y'all can spare a moment and fill in these polls to help me out, that'd be grand. C:

[URL="http://www.strawpoll.me/13261726"]Poll #1: Race[/URL]
[URL="http://www.strawpoll.me/13261730"]Poll #2: Gender[/URL]
[URL="http://www.strawpoll.me/13261742"]Poll #3: Birthsign[/URL]
[URL="http://www.strawpoll.me/13261755"]Poll #4: Class[/URL]

(There's no custom class in the poll, but if there's a tie, I'll build something that mixes the top choices.)

Thanks in advance. A friend told me this would have been easier as a Google form, but I've already made the polls now.

I don't think anyone could replace Soule, but if they got someone else they might as well get Brad Derrick. I get Soule vibes but he's definitely done his own thing.

I discovered that there are actually some leftover fallout 3 assets accidently packaged with Skyrim.

For some reason, there's a baseball bat model and a chinese officer's sword thirdperson models still in the files.

excalibat when?

[Joel]

Umm, what the hell just happened?
I walked out of the Ratways in Riften and was approached by a courier. As I was accepting a note from him, I heard all the townspeople screaming and fighting something. I go over to check it out and find a now-dead npc named "Thief". Not a minute later they all start screaming again and attacking some more random npcs, this time vampires and some weird demon-dogs? I haven't used any mods that would include this stuff, is this normal? Does it have to do with the expansions? After the guards killed the vampires, the game threw these "failed _____" messages on the screen, as if I had failed a quest because the vampires were killed. The messages disappeared before I could even fully read them. I decided to just reload my save from a few minutes earlier. They've yet to show up a second time. Really bizarre.

[DIOBRANDO]

Theyre random scripted events from the base game and dlcs. The thief is a shitty thief who always get caught and the vampires start attacking after lvl 9 with dawnguard installed after you fast travel to a city generally.

edit - As for the quests Im sure it probably triggered a dawnguard related quest, and as for quests failing if the vampires managed to kill someone you had with a quest then it would fail technically though that is rare to achieve in Skyrim due to essentials without modding.

[ROFLBURGER]

I've been watching some chinese-made kung-fu movies and now I want to make the final bossfight unarmed only with some special moves taught to the player.

Too bad unarmed is lackluster. And at most I can come up with 5 relevant spells that would probably be left better to be learnt optionally.

[SpartanXC9]

What would you guys say are the best mods for graphics, weather, water and armour?

[_maverick_]

[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;52393235]What would you guys say are the best mods for graphics, weather, water and armour?[/QUOTE]

Graphics weather and water I couldn't give you because I never run with them on.
Armour on the other hand, I'll never stop recommending [url=http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/32706] Brigandage [/url]

[GHOST!!!!]

[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;52393235]What would you guys say are the best mods for graphics, weather, water and armour?[/QUOTE]

Personally tweaked ENB and/or ReShade, I say personally because you might like what someone else has done but you might not, I know I never really find anything others have done that I actually like.

[thepwnwar]

Is there any cheap way to get the legendary edition of skyrim? The DLCs are way overpriced and a lot of mods require it.

[SpartanXC9]

Ah thanks guys, is climates of tamriel any good?

Steam summer sale?

[Con Air]

[QUOTE=DiscoInferno;52393784]Steam summer sale?[/QUOTE]

The original game and DLCs don't go on sale anymore.

Oldrim isn't even listed on the store anymore.

[SepiaGnome]

So what's the story of the new TESO expansion? I haven't been paying any attention to TESO since I played the beta.

I think you can still buy it, it's just hidden.
