Developer: Bethesda Game Studios.
Publisher: Bethesda Softworks.
Engine: Creation.
Platforms: Consoles & PC.
Release Date: November 11, 2011.

Looks darn good. This might be Bethesda's big release after Fallout 3. A new engine in an already awesome series is a big win. This might be my RPG game this year. Vast lands and new weather system simply adds greatness to this game. And oh, DRAGONS!

Re: Let's talk about Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Yeah after Bioware delayed ME3. This would be the best RPG. Bethesda always come with a bang and this might be that.

Re: Let's talk about Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Well, I wish Bethesda could come up with a gameworld as huge as Daggerfall , but that'll probably occupy like 10 DVDs in the present scenario

Its not about the area of the map. Its about what you can do in that map and Bethesda truly excels in that. They give you complete freedom to do whatever you want and whenever you want.

Re: Let's talk about Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

^^
agreed.
Bethesda gets RPGs right and there is no reason they wouldn't this time. ♥Oblivion and Fallout 3 ♥

Re: Let's talk about Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Well I can't say about reason but I guess no developer want to screw the game but they just do it but Bethesda is not like that. Every time they come with a RPG they come with a big bang many gets GOTY award in RPG so I say lets wait and watch.

Re: Let's talk about Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Well my b'day is on 1st november and am thinking to get a new PC then so this would be the best game to test it out. Regardless, I was a HUGE fan of Oblivion. Clocked in 150+ hours in it. I hope they don't ruin it like BioWare ruined the Dragon Age series with Dragon Age II.

Yeah it will be. When Oblivion came it out, it brought the best machines of that time to their knees... and I think (and hope) that so will Skyrim.

I hope that this time they change their minds and bring us a game which would run even on mediocre PCs.

It ran on mediocre pcs but the gfx were crap.

Re: Let's talk about Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

^Ermh... hold on to your horses. There's Bulldozer and Ivy Bridge comin' up, make a good decision!

Well I sincerely hope that it should run on mediocre PCs with good graphics. This is gonna be one of the best RPGs.

As long as games are being developed for the present generation consoles along with the PC, the system requirement will never be too high.

Yeah thats true in most cases and also present gen consoles don't have powerful hardware than PC so yeah we can be secure. :))

Well you know Oblivion made a lot of $$ even though it was heavy on resources and all that. Its about game how good is that.

Wonder how it would be if Skyrim had the V.A.T.S from Fallout?

The sys reqs won't be high but playing a game on low settings isn't that fun. Personally, I am not the one who minds graphics much. I still play a lot of Mario and Contra on emulators and love arcade-ish games whose sole objective is fun so definitely graphics aren't the focal point for me but what I think is if you wanna play a modern game, play it as it was meant to be. The thing is consoles will always get the dumbed down version. For example Crysis 2. It's impressive on the console but if you play it on a good rig with settings on High, you will see the difference.

I hope Skyrim has a more er.."living" world. In Oblivion , you seldom met someone while traveling between cities. Of course, there was a mod that improved traffic between cities and also gave NPCs "jobs" . But it would be nice to have this by default in Skyrim. Also , more tools for the thief would be nice (similar to the Thief series , I'm talking blackjacks, water arrows e.t.c) with the ability to climb rooftops and sneak in through the top floor.

Maybe even letting the player run his own trading store would be nice , with NPC adventurers buying stuff from you and going on suicide runs to dungeons. But eh... I think I'm asking too much here. Bethesda would probably bug the AI coding for this

According to what we know about Skyrim yet this would be default. They do want to make a more living world.

Climbing on rooftope and stuff like that now that would be too much to demand from a RPG which would be less than 5GB in size.

This may be possible to hire someone to assist you in your mission or just do some side quest for you. This is possible as we have already seen its glance in ACB.

Sounds extremely tempting . but i doubt they would include the trading store stuff

after all i wont be as exciting as running in the wild fighting monsters,dragons, bandits and stuff..

Yeah right. Bethesda game studios are better than Obsidian studios. I also liked F3 more than NV.

Bethesda really suck when it comes to bug fixing. Look at Oblivion for instance. The modders released an unofficial patch that fixed almost 1000+ bugs in vanilla Oblivion since Bethesda didn't do anything about it. Hope they do a better job with Skyrim.

As a publisher , I don't really have much faith in them after their fiasco with Star Trek : Legacy. The game promised a lot of features (mostly RPG elements), but Bethesda forced the developers (Mad Doc Software) to release the game early. End result? The game got ravaged by critics and fans alike.

Bro I was talking about just game nothing else.

I know that they don't release many patches and made kind of buggy game but Fallout 3 was good didn't had bugs or maybe I didn't found any.

Can you give me link to that unofficial patch which will fix 1000+ bugs.

Here you go :

Unofficial Oblivion Patch at The Elder Scrolls Nexus - Oblivion mods and community

And it looks like I was wrong, it doesn't fix 1000 bugs...it's 1800 according to the description

Fallout 3...well , compared to Oblivion it was less buggy yes , but I still found a couple of annoying ones. Nothing that totally killed gameplay though.

^^ Thanks a lot mate you really made my day. I was having the bugs that these guys have fixed in their patches.

Elder Scrolls 5 to have unlimited no. of Dragons.
Ohhhhhhhhh......I love dragons.. :))

Hell yeah!

And gameranand, I don't think the game will be less than 5GB. Is there any announcement made by Bethesda officially yet ? Because I think the game will be at least 8GB.

Yeah...developers themselves said that it would be similar in size to Oblivion.

Well...that's a bit shocking. Let's hope they don't sacrifice anything to fit it in a DVD.

T

It'll probably be compressed to fit on one DVD. Installing it might push it up to 6-8GB.

Well lets just hope that game will be good no matter whats the size.

Resolution is too low.

Wait a couple of days.

Previously I umm spoke some things about Skyrim, regarding how it might fail.... but the game looks cooler everytime new stuff is revealed..!!
And I think it will most probably surpass Witcher 2(like I said, Witcher 2 is the benchmark in my case) when it comes to core RPG elements and of course the huge world its set in.

Frankly speaking, I think Witcher has taken over them. A much better series IMO.

Currently playing Oblivion. I love that water effect and waving grass

Every series has its own identity. I love Witcher series and also Elder Scrolls series. They both have their merits and demerits. As for RPG bethesda is still one of the best RPG developer IMO.

New update from the director(Todd Howard) as quoted by Edge magazine>
“We track how every person and faction feels about you, and their own limit for how many illegal things they will do. You can get followers and command them, and they may like you enough that no matter who’s attacking you they will join in, even if it’s the guards.” :shock:

The game’s story manager will decide whether you become a celebrity or an outcast with NPCs:
“The story manager is looking at everything you do and then making things happen. So if you set a chicken on fire, or you drop an item, or pickpocket somebody or if you kill a dragon in town and absorb its soul, how people react all goes through the story manager.” :shock:

AMAZING!! Isn't it?

Important question, Bethesda still does not sell the PC versions of their new games in India and I don't have a credit card so I can't buy it from steam(Not to mention my download speeds aren't the best around).
Anyone knows if ES5 for pc will be available in India in retail?

I guess HDFC debit cards can be emulated as Credit card. I am not very sure about it though or you can ask someone having credit card to make the purchase and then you pay that guy.

^^^Thanks for the advice, will consider it...

The game is just 6GB of size.

And guess what did the PR guy said..

"content doesn't take lots more space if you know how to build an open world game, which we do."

yes.. pete hines says they are good at compression. this certainly raises questions about textures and other aesthetics.

Watch The First 23 Minutes Of Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Right Here | Kotaku Australia

thanks for the info skud! :))

I will keep myself away from that video. When I am playing this game, I want it to be first hand.

Looks like the tides are turning:-

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Leaked on X360 10 Days Before Official Release | DSOGaming | The Dark Side Of Gaming

It's no surprise, since Modern Warfare 3 is already out on the 360 as well.

The game is awesome. The only gripe is that on the X360 the textures are really poor. IMO, it doesn't look even as good as Fallout NV. It more than makes it up with the beautiful scenery. Played for about a couple hours. The game just sucks you in

. Got 4 side quests in the span of 15 mins from the first town itself which ain't even that big. The voice acting is great as ever. The game has immense depth and content. Unfortunately, my exams are going on otherwise I wouldn't stop playing this. After finishing Batman Arkham City 100% (yeah, am proud of it

), I think I have found another game that will keep me glued for hours and months on end. As a big Oblivion fan, I think this game is a more than a worth successor!

Now cry about pc piracy, goddamn publishers putin DRM.

weren't they just going to use steam?

they are using Steam too
59.99$ pre-order

^yes. even if you buy the hard retail version for pc in india it will be around that price since its a bethesda game.... and skyrim is available at nextworld but its imported.

Yeah bethsda don't lower prices for India like EA.

Yes it does have tutorials and game real good. I am also playing it nowdays.

Game is awesome so far for me. I have only played 3 hrs so far, but the game seems huge.

I am definitely gonna play this for weeks. (Probably months.

)
I am having some weird issues sometimes, it just lags at times. Don't know why!!

Guys one quick question for those who are playing the game.
Is this game worthy enough to compete for GOTY or not ??

^IMO, yeah!! it is.

Now I am off to do some side quests, In main storyline, I have progressed upto where it's revealed the character is dragonborn and do shouts! I have been summoned by some priests called Greybeards on top of the mountains which is called Throat of the world.
I have killed one dragon so far, it was easy as I was focusing on magic to kill it. Once it was on ground, I conjured a blade to finish it.

I'm gonna get Skyrim in a few days. I've never played fantasy-RPG games, so will it cause a "learning-curve" issue? Does choosing a race effect our magical abilities?

^ You get 10 races to choose from, but you can master all skills in any race. You get some initial benefits for a race though.

For example, I chose Nord.

Well it does have a learning curve and for 1st time gamer of this game it might be over too much but once you start understand the game its really enjoyable.

Yes class does have effect on magical abilities and elves are best magician.

Watching only videos so far...speechless :O

Tweaks for those who have it.

Just met Mr.Dragon. Now, in the dungeons escaping.

vamsi_krishna said:

It had many similarities with Oblivion.
You are a prisoner. Escaping from Dungeons etc.

Started with Skyrim
Plan to play it daily for 1.5 hrs through my study leave and exams(almost 1.5 months)..

hope the daily 1.5 hrs doesnt get extended...

damn this game is highly engrossing...

3 Hours into the game. This is definitely some great piece of art.

So uh.. how does the melee feel? Any serious bug you guys encountered yet? Just curious.

^Fighting feels great! Bashing a skeleton's head with a Mace is satisfying!!

I haven't encountered any serious bugs yet. Just plain open world game related issue where your companion may get stuck behind rocks,doors occasionally. But nothing game-breaking.

Dual wield magic spells...lovely.
But I saw i one video that you can take a horse but your companion doesnt :/

And is it like in fallout where you can give items(armor,weapons) to your companion and he/she will use it.

Yes you can give them items, and they will use. It doesn't shows their weight limit, but when limit is close, heavy item begins to appear disabled in transfer menu. It's good but a single text with their limit shown wouldn't have hurt.

Also they need companion wheel from new vegas..

T

So, uh..where did you guys buy the game from? I don't see the PC version on Flipkart.

^Nextworld has the pc version. -.- Steam has the pc version. xD

That's nice then.

As for the weight limit indicator for the companions I am damn sure someone must be working on making a mod for that.

Ah crap, looks like Bethesda doesn't slash prices for India. 3000 bucks!!! :O

3000 bucks is way too much, better give that dragon figurine and cloth map too dammit !

Well yeah Bethsda don't slash prices at all. Did fallout 3 even got released in India or not ?? AFAIK it didn't.

^ nextworld has fallout 3. close to 3000rs. :))

bethesda pc games don't "release" officially in india. They are mostly imported and so the high price...

^ Fallout 3 was not released officially due to use of 'Brahmins' name in the game.

Btw, has anybody been rushing to finish the main story? I want to know how long is it.
I want to do all side quests first. From what I have observed in the game so far, there are two distinct main story progressions.
1. Dragons!!
2. War between the Imperials & the Stormcloaks.

Has anybody sided with Imperials? I went with Stormcloaks. Is there any difference in the loot you get? (That's the only thing I am interested in.

)
Also what's the side one should choose for a positive karma/reputation. I haven't seen any impacts from my choice to go with Stormcloaks, but surely there will be.

Also by helping killing the dragon in Whiterun, you get awarded the title of 'Thane', and a companion.

Also is there support for Item/Weapon/Armor dismantling to raw materials? I think not, but correct me If I am wrong.
Also will 'dragon scales' will be of any use? I saw one perk for Dragon armor in Crafting skill menu. Should I keep the scales safe. I have sold the Dragon bones though.
I literally pick everything and then go sell it.

That's what I did in Fallout 3/NV.

Er.. crap, so many 'also's

lo(a)lso

Yeah that much also will be there because this is a bethsda game and they offer too many options. Just too many.

Another: Skyrim Guide - How to get Married:- :lol:

lol.. I remember this girl. She is the sister of Riverwood trader in the game. From what i learned in the village, she already had two NPCs wooing her. Gonna watch this later when I get home.

So we can marry in Skyrim, and what about my family I mean children ??

I already have got permission from Jarl of Whiterun to buy property there to settle down.
Perhaps, that will be a good place for peaceful growing up for your children. Err.. I mean your character's.

But be aware of the impending Dragon threat!

So you can have babies of yours ??

can we fly in this one.

gameranand said:

I suppose not. I haven't read anywhere which says you can have babies.

Imagine fighting with dragons with a female character who is close to delivering.

From what I have heard, you can adopt children through a orphanage. need to confirm though.

sameer.pur said:

Where is fun in that.

Anyways marriage is a nice addition in the game. Someone waiting for you in your house would give you nice feeling. I would have liked addition of your children also. In a good way guys.

Vampirism - Skyrim Wiki Guide - IGN
Everytime I try not to think about skyrim, these articles tease me.

vampirism was the worst case in oblivion.If you get affected you are screwed.It took me hours to get the cure for it for my character.

J

Played for 3-4 hours and the game is superb. I had completed oblivion twice and skyrim feels simply awesome.
The game is not as resource hungry as i expected it to be. Running it at ultra high @ full HD with a mere MSI 560 Ti hawk.
BTW the carrying capacity of the character is low. Any mods to increase that?

Soumik99 said:
Vampirism - Skyrim Wiki Guide - IGN

I think bethsda love vampires because vampirism is there in many of their games. Fallout 3, new vegas, oblivion. It could be present in other games also but I have confirmed it in above games, not tested in NV though.

^ Cannibalism is there in new vegas but not distinctive vampires like there were in Fallout 3's Arefu quest.

^^ Okey dokey.

I don't think there are other open world games which gives you this much options. If a bethsda game is someone's first RPG game then player may get confused first, what to do what not to do.

Playing Skyrim (PC) since yesterday morning. Skipped both BF3 and MW3 to save money for this one as both of their SP campaign were panned by critics and users alike (mentioned only SP because I can't go MP thanks to my slow net connection, hence can only play SP

).

So, coming back to Skyrim, I'd say the game is great (as expected), yet heavily flawed - Low quality textures, frequent framerate drops and occasional freezes, difficult-to-use menus are some of the problems that I'm facing (don't know about others).

First, I'd like to talk about the graphics. Graphics, as expected, are good but don't expect it to be anything like The Witcher 2, which is IMO the best looking RPG till date. The game world is beautiful but the low resolution textures make it look dated. The character models and animation has improved from what we've seen in Oblivion but still are not as good as we (at least I) expected.

Next comes performance. I'm playing the game at the 'High' preset with 4XAA @1600*900. Most of the time the game runs smoothly at around 45-60 FPS but at times it suffers from sudden huge drop in framerates which as a result makes it laggy, although it picks up again to normal in some time. Also, as mentioned earlier there are occasional freezes (especially when loading a savegame).

Lastly, coming to the UI, I'd say that it is not well optimized for the PC. The menus are a pain to navigate with keyboard and mouse. Non-responding key hits and mouse clicks have been giving me headache since the time of character creation.

It is sad that again PC gamers have been betrayed and this time by Bethesda which was least expected, although they are working on a patch to address these issues. Hope it arrives soon.

Other than that, the game is as good and immersive as you'd expect from an Elder Scrolls game

.

Regarding my progress, I'm in Whiterun and have just joined up with The Companions.

i am flying a dragon.

WTF cool trick gonna try this now.....

[YOUTUBE]PBbGxEb6YrA&fmt=5[/YOUTUBE]

Anyone else found the dragon way too easy to kill? I killed it in 4-5 swings. My build is a dual-sword (both Skyforge Steel) at level 6.

Also, kinda surprised my laptop can churn out 1080p @ high with 2xAF. Haven't tried using AA though

Are u really serious or just trolling? There is no way in skyrim to fly a dragon

This game is absolutely huge!May even go on for weeks.

is it true (gameplay)

They are quite different games honestly.

hmmm...was curious about the length of the gameplay of both games

Yes it's very satisfyingly long.

And you can compare it to other Bethesda games. Fallout will fall closest in game-play, despite different game settings (one fantasy, other post-apocalyptic).

Beast mode is fun :lol:

Piyush said:

DAO is a very long and satisfying game in itself.But Skyrim is in a different league altogether.Easily 100+hrs of gameplay.
The only thing in common though is the fantasy medieval setting.

just trolling.

but still you can fly it just jump on its back. :grin:

i've been watching you revolt for sometime(xD i am talking like a mod)... anyways, you troll pretty good. **takes notes**. This is a forum so don't troll here.. your one-liners are really pointless a lot of the times and irrelevant(like the one you just posted at the screenshot channel). :))

i have mastered the art of trolling from some guys over here.Its you(no not you in particular) guys who have taught me this.Therefore i want to congratulate you all. :grin:

For many years i was a silent observer only posted when it made a complete sense or if there is really a point to do so.But i observed some guys just post for the sake of doing it.Then i thought why not try it too. :grin:

btw if dragon flying was possible in this game, then it'd have been an epic experience for us all(just imagining the view of land from above and also burning down the foes while flying on our pet dragon

)

You can become a Werewolf in this game, as well as a vampire. Interestingly , becoming a Werewolf after turning vampire removes the vampire disease

guys, where to buy this game for xbox 360? It seems that flipkart and game4u are out of stock

ebay is selling it way too costly.

Nearly 10 hours into the game. Except some minor gameplay and stability issues, This game is epic.

So its an AAA title .

Game play issues are minor. But it's unstable for me sometimes.
Frame-rate drops below 10 after 1 hour session. Maybe it's the drivers for me, I will try downgrading to a previous version.

Try reducing shadow quality. Worked for me and another friend.

I am now getting PC shutdown problem. It randomly shuts down the whole system while in-game (No BSODs though). On some forums other users have also reported this issue. It's happening with different hardware configs, so it should be the game's problem.

I had recently re-installed the OS and Skyrim is the only game I have installed on the whole drive.
Currently I am running it on almost low settings and windowed mode, it starts smoothly without any lags for first 30 minutes or so, after that it starts to lag, and only solution is to restart the system.

Waiting anxiously for a patch..

Interesting! I'll definitely need to take some time out for this game. :smile:

I think as per stories or Van Helsing movie... A warewolf bite can kill vampire and a silver bullet or silver sword can kill warewolf...

So that is what they included....

Sounds like some memory leak kind of problem.. which is pretty understandable since it is a bethesda game and you have quested much deeper into the game with a lot of stuff happening in the game(maybe).
See the ram consumption by opening task manager after 10 mins or so you are into the game..

I tried a program called 'Large address aware' to let it use more than 2GB of RAM, but it didn't help with anything. I will track memory consumption with Task manager and another program called 'Process Monitor'.

Update:- I just played for 20 minutes and it started lagging in 5 minutes. Memory consumption in Task manager was 500MB for TESV.exe
I also started RealTemp & GPUObserver. Maximum for CPU was 87' C and for GPU it was 96' C.

(GPU load was full at times and GPU memory never crossed 300MB)
One unusual thing was, as soon as I Fast-traveled, GPU load fell to 10% and CPU load was full.. It is still now idling at 60% even as I have quit the game. As soon as GPU load fell down, frames went down to a slideshow.

Became a vampire. FML.

Now in the hunt of black soul gem, which is needed to perform a ritual that will cure vampireism. Read that Enthir, who will be at college of magic has one for sale. So, got my self into college. Attended few magic classes, Flirted with couple of fellow chicks. Now searching for Enthir.

Surely multiple.

As I said before, there are two separate main quest lines.
You could side with either factions in a ongoing war. The choice is made pretty much early in the game.

Btw , is anyone able to rotate the inventory items in this game? I can zoom in with the C key but I can't seem to rotate. From what I've read , it seems to be a keyboard binding issue (fixed in next patch hopefully).

Skyrim PC Patch Kills +2GB RAM Stability, Graphics Mods - NowGamer

*www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/11/22/skyrim-patched-for-the-worse/

So much for automated update system. Frankly, I would rather like to have the control on my own hands.

Bethesda is known for great but buggy games. I'd only buy this game next year when they release some GOTY edition and the game is patched properly.

Veteran players of the series are rating it like this:-

Morrowind (III) > Daggerfall (II) > Oblivion (IV) > Skyrim (V)

It looks like the series is on a downward spiral. But for newbies, I think it doesn't matter.

Yes, I did. Rotation didn't work. It seems to be random with it working for some users and not for others. There was also a rumour going around that it wouldn't work for pirated versions , which is bullshit because even legit users have the issue.

87' C CPU and 96' C GPU :!:

The temps are way too higher than they should normally be at full load (especially the CPU temp). I'm afraid that if you continue gaming at these temperatures it might damage your proccy. May be due to this reason only you are experiencing the heavy lag (telling from personal experience).

I read that bethsda are making new patch. When its rolling out ??

after thanksgiving.. (don't know what that festival is btw.. :))

Yeah I know these are too much high. Well, have to clean the laptop perhaps. Can anyone suggest me a safe way to do this.

Soumik99 said:

And when is this anonymous festival ??

Expected date is 28-29 Nov. Thanksgiving is this weekend.

After being frustrated for nearly a week, I was able to play a session without any lags/issues. I was on lowest settings and windowed mode though. I don't know what changed but I reverted back to original dell drivers that came with system, and yesterday again clean installed the latest 285.79 beta drivers. Temperature is still same though.

Anyways, Has anyone started installing any mods yet?

Install the borderless window mod.It will enable you to use your full screen but still in window mode.

Use the performance dll.

Search them on skyrimnexus.

T

Yes, there's a mod that lets Skyrim use beyond the allocated 2 GB of RAM. It should improve performance a lot.

Even if you have 4TB of ram Skyrim will only use 4gb.

well 8GB RAM would be enough.

I have 6GB of RAM and i tried the 'Large Address Aware' fix, but I didn't get any improvements, if anything it increased the instability.

Are you talking about the same?

OK is it only me or everyone having a problem while ALT+TABing the game back from desktop (or any other active window) ?

T

Eh , once you alt-tab..simply alt-tab in back again. Apparently, clicking the window on the taskbar doesn't work. I believe there is a mod that lets you run Skyrim in a window , you can try that as well.

Also ,if you want to fly in Skyrim..simply get clobbered by a Giant. I'm not kidding , you WILL fly...several kilometers into the air.

chose wood elf

Though this game is not a major resource hogger, but its fairly more cpu intensive game out in the market

Now running smoothly @30-35 fps on medium settings @Full HD.

2. Glowing Ore Veins
3. ENB Series Graphics Patcg and Bug fix
4. Extended Inventory (I think it's named as KD Inventory or something don't remember.)

I will tryout more mods later, for now I just wanna taste the vanilla game-play.

killed my first bear too
it was looking small from far
but when it charged towards me i was just clueless what to do next
i'm glad my companion killed it quickly

will there be any method to increase the inventory?

T

By increase inventory , you mean carry more items? Increase the stamina stat.

And I killed my first giant , at level 9. Took a conjured flame atronach to do it and bit of kiting. Draining the giants stamina with frostbite spell helps a lot.

thanks tachyon

btw got killed by necromancer..( mine level 1)

Level 15 now. Concentrating on side missions. Brought back Eldergleam Sap for Whiterun's priestess. I will have to buy a house now.

Man its real nice and ask skud and asingh about that. Just kidding.

Lol . So Skyrim is for unmarried. :-D

lol.. I leave early from work to give Skyrim more time

And.. I'm thinking about leaving my home soon. So that I can get back to my PC and play this darn game.

Got into a cave full of Falmer, long lost elves dwelling in the underground caves. Lost their sense of vision, pale skin. Look entirely like the enemies in The Descent movie. Now that was scary.

I am just exploring the world. No missions for now.

being warrior & two handed sword is best for killing ! magika + one hand is taking very long to kill a troll .

this is so tough not like fallout 3 , @ normal mode killing dragon is easy but killing troll is hard

I used one cheat , i cant bear it

used DEADRIC ARMOR

can anyone tell me wats the story line , i am playing more than 40HRS ?? wat am trying to achieve ?

^ Frost troll? Use shouts + have your companion soak up the damage. Shout + swing, swing + run.

/dual-sword-weilding Redguard.

Ran into Barbas :mrgreen:

and 3 dragons in a row while trying to complete my first Daedric quest :\

And no, Anand the patch is not yet out - the Americas are still in sleepy Sunday mode ;

Or better use paralysis staff on trolls and beat the crap out of them. Defeated one Cave troll and another Frost troll this way. I am doing a lot more hit and run tactics.

Don't ever think of messing with Ice Giant with Mammoths. I was flung high up in the sky death.

It's tough to kill Falmers when they are in group of more than 3. Level 11.

T

For trolls, I recommend poisoning them. Since they have rapid healing , the poison should negate some of it.

I've found the shout that pushes foes away (you get this in Bleakwater Falls , first Claw puzzle) useful for either running away like a little girl or attacking quite useful.

ProTip : Go to Azura's Shrine (Far North , near WinterHold) and do the quest. You'll get Azura's Star (same one from Oblivion) which can act as an unlimited soulgem (i.e never breaks). But this time, you have an option to convert it into a Black Star which can onlyhold Human souls (similar to a Black soul gem, except this one never shatters). I decided to go with Black Star

Wait, you can summon more than 1 atronach? Need a perk for it ?

Edit : Oh yeah, the Twin Souls perk. Damn, that's a long way off.

Btw , what character do you guys play? I play a Dark Elf who does a bit of Bow,Axe,Smithing and Magic (in Oblivion terms, he would be called a Battlemage).

No I had to summon a 2nd one after first got killed.
But yes you can summon two simultaneously as well if you have the last conjuration perk.

Buy a house. Speak to Proventus Avenicci in Whiterun/Dragonsreach or other Jarl's stewards to purchase one. Costs 5000 septim.

Just bought the house. You only get one chest to store the equipment. Furniture has to be bought separately from Avenicci.

Also it seems you companion gets a separate room, which is stocked properly by default.
Anyways, I will go to High Hrothgar now, been concentrating on side missions all the time

Lol even in oblivion the cheapest house costed me 5000 gold. But house was awesome after a side quest and no need to purchase furnitures. I guess this came from fallout 3.

^amazing effects , fingers crossed.

These days,

Skyrim players on Steam = more than 2x CS players.

T

True that , the gameworld is not as big as Daggerfall but very engrossing with random encounters. Saw an elk galloping past me , was wondering wtf was going on until two hunters suddenly appeared behind it. Nothing beats Daggerfall in terms of gameworld size , except maybe Frontier and Frontier : First Encounters.

Ouch , sorry Faun ,my bad! She looks a lot like the companion when you finish Azura's star (Aranea Ienith) , hence the mixup.

Funny thing is , just as I was about to give her the Star , a Dragon comes out of nowhere and starts attacking the shrine. She nearly got killed , but the dragon died in the end.

I'd say complete two quests and get the chain of lightening staff and the fire ball staff. One mission (High Gate Ruins) involves a temporary companion Anska (Firball staff and mask of Vokun). Other require finding something for Goddess Meridia (acquiring the item is a tough job, it's creepy as hell and then a boss fight, I nearly shat myself passing through an ominous looking room but nothing happened there) and then reinstating the light (Malkoran boss fight). Beware, the boss fights are quite hard. Unless you have a mage as companion, these will be much harder.

You can find Illia just past the Riften village in Darklight Tower. Beware of the Hagravens there but the reward is another good staff (Hag's rath) and a companion. I prefer giving all the staffs to my companion.

Hardly getting time to play this game.

But, when ever I do get the time, I just spend time, free roaming

was concentrating more on warrior skills till now but now i am into ABRA KA DABRA
increasing MAGIKA and using perks for magic skills only....
i am on level 16

just recovered 3 books which were stolen from winterhold college

I don't know why but i tend to click spoilers more

You will get bored playing as strictly mage.

My style is SnS with some destruction and restoration magic and my trusty Sanguine staff.

It's better to up your conjuration skills (get Frost Atronach). Destruction spells suck badly.

T

I agree , conjuration is the best way to assault a mob. Flame atronachs are your best friends early on. Of course, you can also grab some Reanimate spells. Try resurrecting a Saber tooth tiger and watch it tear everyone to pieces.

Btw , anyone know where I can get some Fire salts? I heard they are left behind by Flame Atronachs , but killing your own summoned Atronach doesn't give it

Destruction is good for early level enemies after that not so much.

and storm and frost Atronach are awesome.

did some skill farming..now with 80 light armor, 80 block and 50 restoration i started to like my character again!!

Get Conjure Dremora spell from the college when you have Expert level skill.You will forget atronachs.I sit back and enjoy the show after conjuring a Dremora.

It looks like another patch is out. Did anyone tried the new patch?
I will only be able to test after coming back from work.

I have the Sanguine staff for that till I get the spell tomb.

Ran into a bug mentioned here in the Walking Nightmare quest.

Spoilerless-version: If you're going to take up this quest, make sure you don't have any followers/companions with you. Even if you don't, make sure to be in for a glitchy quest

Although I should mention, it's the first bug that I've ever run into the game.

(also, applied the patch. No visible differences. Not that I had any problems with the previous patches anyway)

Thanks for the warning coolpcguy.

Skyrim slays Modern Warfare 3 for Christmas number one

I'm not surprised at the news
I'm thinking why are they comparing it with COD MW3 :lol:

lolol
i asked my follower to take a giant club which was lying on the ground hoping that i'll take from him afterwards(because i was not able to pick it up)

now the funny thing is the weapon (giant club) is not being shown in his inventory but he is using that as a weapon :lol:

take a look
*i.imgur.com/IJdGM.jpg

oh great
he is not dropping it either...he's a mage and wielding that super weapon...crap

haha, thats fun. I think you cannot have that weapon.

no i cant have that weapon
thats not the only problem
my follower is using that weapon only no matter who he was( he was a mage actually :/ )

Entering Skyrim now!

Encountered a frost troll on my way to High Hrothgar.Wasted about 30 mins trying to kill it.Then I scooted.

Is there any equipment (not a potion) too boost enchantment ?

hahha
BTW in the beginning, the best combination for attack is to equip a offensive spell in left hand (like flames/frostbite/sparks/etc..) and a weapon on the other.

just use the spell on the opponent and walk backward(just be careful that the area behind you is secure)
this will make it easy to finish off the enemy

Yep.I think i should increase my magicka a tad bit eventhough i'm a warrior.But swords seem to be better against some enemies.

wow cool man
I managed to max out smithing and enchanting at lvl 45 or something
and you did it late 20s/.....awesome!!!

axes2t2 said:

make yourself a set
requires only 70 smithing
or there is another way

the old gray mane lady(in whiterun) who gives you the quest to find her son
do that quest
you have to go to a prison/fort where Thalmor have the authority
all of them are wearing Glass armor sets and have glass weapons too
some of the guys are wearing Elven glided armor too (better than plain elven armor)
and that quest is not that difficult
its 6/10 on the scale of difficulty

Improving smithing is pretty easy actually.Just gather plenty of iron ingots and leather strips and keep making iron daggers.7-11 daggers advances you to the next level in smithing.And i'm a complete noob in enchanment.

I miss this game. Will resume after 2 weeks.

i am currently at lvl 42 with
100 archery
70-80 2-H, enchanting, sneaking and lockpicking

mouse battery ran out while fighting alduin (the boss of the game i suppose!)

tried defeating him with trackpad but with no luck, going to sleep.

Already did that quest when around lvl 25 and the soldiers were only wearing Elven armor set.Collected them all ,enchanted them and sold them for a nice profit.

hmmm.....quite strange
that means it depends on players level too
so thats the reason i was getting Greater and Grand filled soul gems from Dwarven spiders and spheres

BTW which standing stone ability are you guys using?
I used :
Lovers stone (all skills grow 15% faster):upto level 35
Steed stone ( +100 capacity) :upto level 45
Lord stone (50% damage resistance -both spells and physical) :beyond 45

Warrior stone.

Defeated alduin in level 17.

Now thinking about visiting morrowind and collecting the 6 remaining dragon priest masks. I have to say,despite the glitches this game is epic.

Btw for anyone interested there is a nice one handed weapon called dragonbane(20 more damage to dragons) in the sky haven temple along with a set of blades armour.

In case anyone missed it.

The SkyUI mod is a must have if you are getting this game.

Spent too much time in the beginning doing every little quest. Got bored after 70 odd hours.Still got half of main quest and civil war questline left, along with tons of smaller quests.

What is the difference ? In steam, you don't need to keep CD. I hate putting CD every time i play a game.

I installed steam, then installed Free games provided by steam "Team Fortress 2", i love playing this FREE game on steam. I want my games on steam, so i don't need to put CD every time or use a NOCD crack (i used it for GTA EFLC). I will only buy skyrim, if i can play with out putting CD each time.

Skyrim was the best selling game of 2011 beating all other games and breaking record after 8 years.

If you play Skyrim from top to bottom for only a few hours a week it will last you the whole year.

Agree totally, wouldn't have found so many places if not for that spell. Finished the main storyline and just mostly kept the concentration on Smithing and One Handed Weapons.

Finished main story ? How much time it took ?

Use the undead scrolls or learn the art of conjuration of undead (from books or from a trainer in College of Winterhold or someplace like this)

You cannot have more than one 1 humanoid companion. You can buy a dog as follower along with an already existing humanoid companion.

I think more than 70 Hours, if you play honestly. Great game but abrupt ending.

Skyrim game jam 2011. Thats a lot of cool stuff but its all experimental.

That would be awesome.

Does that mean you can ride a dragon ?? I am talking about dragon mount.

^^yeah but seems it is a paid dlc... But surely it worth money.

Btw , did anyone here download the HD texture pack that Bethesda released with the creation kit? Some users have actually reported improved frame rates.

C

I wanted it, but it need 1 GB graphics card, my only got 512 MB. Anyone know my card in signature work with HD texture pack ?

Damn the HT pack is huge. I mean 3+ GB they really have improved the graphics for pc version.

As for dragon mount. Damn what would it be like to explore the map through sky and on dragon's back. Its hilarious.

Go in to the shouts menu...select unrelenting force and shout at one of the greybeards.

IIRC you dont even require a dragon soul to learn this shout from Graybeards (correct me if I'm wrong)

PS: Dragon mount would be cool thing to add

Any idea when the updated version of skyrim(fixed with all bugs) will be avail for less than 1200.rs?

I highly doubt they would lower the price that soon. Bethesda doesn't slash prices for the Indian markets like other publishers. Sad really , there's a fortune to be made here

I got bored after playing like 1 or 2 week. Same happened with minecraft. Not sure this is because i enabled console commands (skyrim), plenty of items (minecraft). I play a lot of Team Fortress 2 (free game).

^^Yes, because using the console commands took away the motivation of getting new armor and weapons. It would have not been any more a challenge then.

You feed on a sleeping npc first.That will bring your vampirism down.When in that state quickly speak to that guy who gives you the quest for the cure.

if you referring the trick as "non cheating method"
then level up your smithing ,enchanting and alchemy since these can be leveled up so easily ( i leveled up my smithing and enchanting to 100 when my level was around 30s)

go in a cave full of ores
mine
smelt
craft
enchant sell (this increase your speech)

PS:There is a spell Transmute which transforms your iron ores into silver ores and silver ores into gold (present in your inventory)
get this spell tome (it was in a cave north west of dragonsearch)

so mine iron ores
transmute( this increase your alteration level )
smelt gold ignots
make jewelery( increases smithing rapidly)
enchant it ( increases enchanting skill rapidly)
sell (increases speech skill)

abhidev said:

AFAIK, nope

Your companions will only fight with you. They won't do anything for you apart from that.

Try travelling by foot instead of fast travelling. You might find it interesting. Also, discover new places.

any of you completed this game 100% (all missions,side-missions,unlocks,achievements,exploration etc)?

The official HD Texture pack is around 3GB. Even if you club it with the rest of the smaller patches, it shouldn't touch 5GB. Unless, you're talking about the random Skyrim Nexus mods, which could probably have variable sizes.

Ok so overall skyrim is 6 gb not more than that right?

Skyrim gets official kinect support :razz:

Bethesda has announced Kinect support for its RPG, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The Kinect update is slated to roll out this month and will feature more than 200 voice commands, including, yes, even the dragon shouts. Fus Ro Dah just got real.

Players will fully be able to control the game with their voice, such as hotkey equipping, issue follower commands, accessing menus, and even saving and loading game files. Kinect support will also add new functionality including special map functions, additional hotkey options and the ability to sort inventory items by name, weight and value. Why isn’t this a normal mouse-supported feature is beyond us.

Bethesda has published a demonstration video of the Kinect support. Full list of voice commands will be released shortly.Bethesda has announced Kinect support for its RPG, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Well may be vampirism is conflicting with your magica.

gameranand said:

Yes, true. Likely, health generation will get affected too.

^yes , now i'm fully familiar to vampirism, found cure but still didn't applied coz its fun currently. Sucking blood , sneaking, sleeping all day and improving skills.

Done many quest , killed 6 dragons so far(a frost one also).
Enjoying the beautiful world.

Cure yourself before you become a vampire. Or you would have to make a hard choice after that.

Since most dragons are fire I chose to cure it straight away.

gameranand said:
Time ??

dont know.playing it on weekends only..i think its above 300+ hours..

Not Lydia alive....but her corpse it seems. Now, that's freaky.
Posted via Mobile Device

Found this on GameFAQs forum:

Back when I was a wee little level 16, I was walking up a mountain when Lydia suddenly dissapeared. Of course, this happens constantly because I like to leap rocks and jump up hills. 3 quests later she still didn't appear, but I was so wrapped in a group's storyline I didn't notice.

Fast forward to level 30, my favorite NPC so far asks if I'm interested in marriage. I say yes, head to Riften for the temple of mara, and wait till 11am for the wedding to start. This is where it gets weird. The bride walks in with two friends, who both tell me to "Leave. Now.", then Lydia's corpse spawns in the doorway. The three investigate the corpse, then I get a "Attend the Wedding: Failed" message.

So, Lydia's corpse keeps crashing my wedding. - The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Message Board for Xbox 360 - GameFAQs

How freaky is that?

Really really freaky I must say. Better keep her alive then.

My sneak in 95...all just by doing Thief guild missions....and sneaking up on Giants (they die in 2-3 hits this way

You can sneak up on him, just lik egiants. And he is invincible, just don't hit consecutively. Keep some seconds interval before you next fist landing.

Countless sneak damage -> sneak skill upgrade -> Level up too :lol:

If that's how anyone wants to play then he/she is better off using cheats/trainers.

I don't fight with fists. Anyway my favorite skills are already 90+ so will increase this skill in future level ups.

I need to increase skills in Smithing, but I find it too much to craft daggers one by one...care to help?

DeSmOnD dAvId said:

So the method I'm about to tell you will increase Smithing, Alteration, enchanting(if you are interested) and speech .

First of all you need to find the spell tome of TRANSMUTE.
LOCATION:Find this spell in Halted Stream Camp, located northwest of Whitewatch Tower.This area is controlled by bandits, both outside and inside the cave.The place has lots of mammoths tusks too.

After getting and learning the spell, start mining the iron mines as they are most commonly found.

ALTERATION-->start transmuting each iron ore to silver ore and silver ore to gold ore.You just need to use the spell....thats all, the game will automatically convert each ore in the bag.The spell uses decent magika....so wear some appropriate armor and accessories and have the magika boosting Stone ability.

SMITHING-->smelt all the gold ores you have and then start making jewelery.Making jewelery is the fastest way to increase smithing.

ENCHANTING-->Enchanting jewelery is the fastest way to increase the respective skill.

SPEECH-->Sell them for loads of money

If it comes from BETHSDA then most probably yes.

Completed main quest and currently have 14 shouts. Got married to mjoll the lioness :))

after purchasing house at whiterun (breezehome). I sided with the stormcloaks and have completed their side missions as well.

Honestly this is my first RPG ( leaving mass effect series aside) and i'm completely addicted to it. Never thought rpg's are so much fun.

^^ Yeah they are very fun. Play DA Series & Fallout series after this one.

If Skyrim was on Gameboy :lol:

*i.imgur.com/BnTDt.gif

^^

i always preferred playing pokemon games on the PC than playing on my R.I.P gameboy.

Completely addicted to skyrim and the following ost:

^^ How many in game hours yet ??

^^ Completed the main quests long back. Now retrieving all the words from word walls and defeating dragon priests. They leave behind a mask and there are 8 priests in total with 8 masks which are:

vokun , volsung , nakhrin , otar the mad , krosis, hevnoraak ,rahgot & morokei. I have defeated everyone except morokei.

The longest game i've ever played yet. Its now close to a month. :shock:

Retrieving all masks and placing them on a dragon altar gives a 9th mask called kohnarik. I now have 20 dragon shouts ( obtained all) but a few additional words remaining.

Currently have to defeat the last dragon priest morokei and in order to enter his realm, have to complete the college of winterhold quests coz an artifact is needed to unlock the door leading to morokei in labyrnithian. Its a darn long game but very addictive and fun.

Well it depends on your playing preference. In skyrim, you can postpone the main quest indefinitely and do the side quests. But after completing the main quest , you get a satisfactory feeling and doing side quests after that becomes easier.

You get the option to side with the imperials or stormcloaks i.e general tulius or ulfric stormcloak. I had sided with ulfric and completed the entire civil war quest. Its interesting either way so depends on your choice.

Go with the main quest first and then do side quests.

What is your level and at what level did you 'recruit' Lydia ?

You see that constant tip on loading screens about how trolls are susceptible to fire? Well, its true. SO, just wield fire in one hand and a one handed weapon in the other. Keep spraying him with fire when he runs at you and just as he reaches you, strafe back. Once out of Mana, repeat strafing, but with constant hit and runs with your one handed. Lydia will keep barraging him with arrows or stupidly attacking him without any protection X_X

And you're done! :-D

Then its a straight road to High Hrothgar. No more enemies after the troll.

Or you can just run past him... 0.o

toad_frog09 said:

Thats what i did! At lower levels with less cash or skills, its a smarter choice to run and save your potions. Lydia is kind of useless anyway (except for muling your stuff around).

I encountered frost troll at high level , he got down in seconds.

I usually do every side mission i find , pausing the main quest.

Marry mjoll the lioness after completing the GRIMSEVER quest and use her as a follower. She's invincible and far more consistent in arse kicking than lydia.

Aela the huntress is also great but not invincible as mjoll.

i guess it was a mistake to take lydia with me.She killed the horse i was ridding

that was just a bug most probably

@ serpent
don't rush the game. This game has potential of 400+ hrs so don't convert that to 40 hrs. Talk to people, listen to them, feel like you a part of their community. Enjoy RPG to its fullest.

Okay stopped the greybeards mission for a while.The troll cant be killed.Now,I have to help that orphan kid.And kill his orphan teacher

You don't have to kill the troll to get past it. Since your level s low initially, killing forest trolls is a real pain in the arse. I suggest you to use " battle cry" on the troll and run past it. It won't follow you and after you discover high wrothgar, you can fast travel anytime time. I did the same initially and later came back strong to whup that troll's arse. :))

^^I did the hit and run method to kill the troll. Set up the pilgrim as the bait

Paused Main quests.
Now doing theif guild missions.
I just have 2 lockpicks left

and the mission in which you have to burn bee hives.Need many lockpicks?
Any other way to get lockpicks

lol you always amaze me !!

anyways lockpicks can be bought from general traders
or you can buy them in stock from Thieves guild trader

^^ Well,So i have to go back to riften and Buy

Amaze you why?

well dont take it personally but you always come up with unique experiences
like your lockpicks stock getting empty :lol:

and what level btw?

^^ In level 7 now.Will go to kill snow trolls after i finish thief guild

I am a werewolf now. :))

Completed the companions quest and now my follower is AELA the huntress.

Werewolves are pretty powerful. Killing giants is a piece of cake being werewolf. One claw attack sends the giant flying and two to three claw swipes takes care of him. Forest trolls are even easier. They finally get to see the bigger beast. :))

^ How?

serpent16 said:

meet the Companions in Whiterun and do their quests

I would never ever run out of lockpicks at all. For e.g I have like 250+ bobbypins in Fallout NV & even 3.

Fallout NV dont mention that game

Skyrim is million times better

NO. Not likely I like both games and both have different themes. You can't really compare them.

Is there any penalty that I will have to endure if I become a werewolf? I've suspended the companions quests because I am not sure.

one penalty I know is you cant get "well rested bonus" after sleeping in your house

If someone sees you while changing then they'll become hostile.

Silver weapons would cause serious damage to you.

werewolves are better than vampire imo. don't have any flaws and u will get massive strength.

Better than Vampires for sure but I would prefer to be a human.

werewolves or vampires - both ok

Enderal - The Shards of Order

From the team behind Nehrim - At Fate's Edge, comes Enderal - The Shards of Order - a total conversion mod for Skyrim, set a couple of years after the events of Nehrim. The team, volunteers from the dedicated modding community SureAI, aims to continue the tradition of the intensive and complex storytelling introduced in Nehrim. This basically means that, what they do here is fantasy for adults, it is dirty and immersive, and there are no fairies!

There has not been set any official release date for the mod, but by the scope of the project, I reckon it might take some time.

Screenies:

Yeah mobile typing sucks specially small qwerty. Damn I miss my N8.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that my old 8600GT can still run this game on 1366x768 and Medium/Low settings.(Considering the fact that most of the games between 2009-2012 are unplayable)

Outdoors I get a playable 30-32 FPS and Indoors about 35-55 FPS depending on the level of detail while in highly detailed towns like Whiterun and Markath I get around 25 FPS.

Bethesda should be commended for making such a detailed yet optimized game.

I will certainly upgrade my pc to play this beauty in its full glory with the awesome mods and all.

Hey friends,I started playing Skyrim a week ago and I'm totally hooked. Just loving it. So now the thing is that my brother also wants to play and there is no option to make a new profile. I googled my problem but didn't get a definite answer.
So is there any way that my brother can also play alongside me?

Just go to New game in title screen. And play the game with the new character and when saving the game, just make sure that you are not overwriting your own character's save files. I think you can play as many characters as you like and can save as many saves as you like.

Thats why Khajiit are the best.

What about auto save? Do I have to turn it off? Will it overwrite previous saves if it is on?

Autosaves in Skyrim are saved as individual files. Unlike some games which will have only slot for autosave file.

Skyrim's autosave is good.

Yeah, it was never ever fixed in any of the patches and to think that Esbern is part of the main storyline. When i played it as early as the 12th of November, there was no Esbern fix and I had to just skip Esbern's parts. Sad to see that Bethesda would remain inactive and silent on all of this. There should have been a fix in one of the official patches, Period.

I actually noclipped to Esbern's hideout and showed him some mage skills, Then reloaded the save. And then the basterd did the quick talking.

It worked for me after I made a few changes to some file. I don't remember which.

Why does it seem like the interest level over Skyrim has already gone down and quite significantly at that. I think that the length of the gameplay itself, though one that would benefit those who are heavy gamers, isn't to be marveled about.

Just have to go with games that provide feedback more so that you could get to it and enjoy better.

J

Absolutely love Skyrim! Haven't quite found the time to complete it yet, but FUS RO DAH!

Hey guys,this is a bug I stumbled upon while Playing skyrim. In the Mission 'Scoundrel's Folly',my first task is to 'Speak With Mercer Frey' of Thieves Guild. The problem is after doing that the objective does not becomes complete and so I don't get the next step of the mission. Any help would be appreciated. Also recorded a video of the same.

There are several storyline woven into one in Skyrim and each one of them involves many quests and then there are several short side quests. The outcome differs according to the sides you take in each storyline and the way you accomplish tasks(although the difference in outcomes is not as much as other RPGs). As for the Gameplay time,Crysis' game play time is around 6-8 hours and if you play Skyrim thoroughly you can play it for 150+ hours easily. I've clocked about 210 hours as of now. And when you finish everything learn about adding mods and keep playing. So go play. Fus Ro Dah! :mrgreen:

im getting addicted towards RPG games now

and what are the advantages of becoming a vampire and becoming a dawnguard warrior? and whats this werewolf concept i have just read in a forum post.. though i couldn't find the details...

Lycanthropy (Skyrim) - The Elder Scrolls Wiki

I have read the links provided, and watched that video above this post, but now the question is: If a turn into a vampire lord OR i become full vampire after four days, is there anyway to turn myself again into normal NORD form (i am playing as nord)???
and do tell that whether following will work or not:
I turn into a vampire lord, then i complete quests to become a werewolf, then i find a cure to lycanthropy.. and i'll return back to normal...

will this work???

EDIT: ok, one more question, how to lower the day weakness effects of vampire lord????? my VL starts crying like a baby in daylight, and it appears to me he's gonna die.. strange deadly warnings like blood boils in sun, hunger in sun shown on screen...

Once you are a Vampire then to cure that you'll have to become werewolf. However you can't get normal after becoming a werewolf IIRC.

yes this will work.

But not if you are fully vampire , because then your anti-descease power is 100%

thanks alok and gameranand, but please answer this one also, how to lower the day weakness effects of vampire lord????? my VL starts crying like a baby in daylight, and it appears to me he's gonna die.. strange deadly warnings like blood boils in sun, hunger in sun shown on screen...

I read in a few posts in various forums that there are some guard stones or whatever, which can make a VL almost immune to sun's weakness effects..
but i can't find the detail.

Guys I've thought of playing Skyrim, so just a small query.

A lot of people online seem to to be complaining about the various bugs and glitches regarding the sound (static, no sound etc.). Most have recommended changing the audio format to 2 channel, 16 bit, 44100 Hz for fixing these issues.
Just wanted to know know if these issues have been fixed by updates 9 or 10 (or Dawnguard) or if this is the only known fix.

Most issues have been fixed.

Just starting out with Skyrim. Thinking of going with a Nord warrior (just to go with the setting- I also like to be in the thick of things). But I wouldn't like to reduce the combat to Diablo-styled mindless button-mashing.

So, in your experience, which melee combat style would prove to be most fun and satisfying (and involving tactics): 1 handed+shield, 2 handed, or dual wielding?

darkv0id said:

I liked Dual wielding the most coz of double damage and fast too
but you cant block at all in this stance

Piyush said:

Thanks!
So I get you mean that dual wielding is the most fun and tactical in nature?

Can anyone share their experience with 1h+shield or with 2h?

Please note that I am not necessarily looking for the "best" build, just want to know of the style you guys loved the most

well you may want to try these too...

Spell + sword--> one hand carrying sword and with one hand casting spell

2H sword--> although the most powerful, its the most slow too. This cant be used effectively when there are enemies surrounding you.

Sword + shield-->I find it the most tactical stance in combat.You get to block every incoming attack, be it sword, arrows, spells (although you still are inflicted with small damage) .

Daggers + Bow--> The most difficult to master but effective in giving 1 hit kills with appropriate perks and skills.

Conjuration + Destruction -->Pretty much powerful. Reanimate the corpse to fight for you while you can finish off the enemies with your destructive spells

I just use Wabbajack and see the bunnies.

^^ love that

That level was a headache.

Well there are just so many possibilities for character development in this game that I find somewhat overwhelmed but still as a RPG lover I don't find much difficulty in choosing the right one for me among them.

This is not a mod, Q is the favorite menu, you can add all kinds of stuff in your favorite menu and quickly access them by pressing Q.

Go to your inventory and add any weapons, spells etc. to your favorite menu.

SO I'm gonna start this game.
Which mods do you suggest? (If at all)

I only want mods which would give the game a real boost. No broken/experimental/buggy mods please.
Thanks in advance!
Also no over-doing please

Never really liked RPGs. Started playing Skyrim 2 days back and I must say it has completely changed my opinion about RPGs. This game is just too good with its open world and easy to understand upgradations etc. I can't believe i have missed out on this for so long. Played 9 hrs straight today and hoping to do the same tomorrow as well

^^^i was an Hardcore FPS player until i tired Skyrim

don't be in a hurry...enjoy the RPG essence...play side quest also. i have never seen such a beautiful game on PC after Crysis.

^^ to be honest i have spent 6-7 hrs doing side quests only and they are just as much fun as the main quest. I am in no hurry to finish this game

. Its beautiful yes but what is more interesting is you can do just about anything you want, anytime you want. There are no linear sequential quests which must be completed in particular order or anything. Even character enhancements etc are easy to understand. Even when you are doing nothing bt just travelling on your horse to a different citie, you have to keep your wits for wild animals or just any random enemy and its exciting throughout. Never thought a game could be so detailed and yet so lively. Really amazed :hyper:

I started playing Skyrim a few days ago, and without doubt, for an adventurer like me, it became my favourite game. I chose an Orc and I'm focusing more on two-handed weapons and magic. I'm in Level 3 now and have used chosen my Level perk as Stamina every time. Should an Orc invest in magic? Is there any good patch or mod for fixing a the common bugs that appears during the gameplay?

iam also playing it really slowly...open world is real fun in this game...go where ever you are..talk with anyone...kill bandits and take there GOLD

side quest is really better than main quest...still enjoying

@rohit32407

If you really want to enjoy,do not fast travel.

Walk or take a horse.

^^ No fast travel or carriage ride yet and I do not plan to do that in future either. if you start fast travelling in an open world game then that kind of defeats the whole purpose of the open-world concept.

P.S. Love your signature

yeah right

wait till you play 100 more hours

I would love if it lasts that long

I have already clocked more than 200 hrs

BTW I have noticed that some rewards/perks become redundant at higher levels. For example, the Skeleton key you get in the last stages of Thieves Guild questline and the Unbreakable perk that gets unlocked once you reach 100 in lockpicking is useless IMO. I am at 99 in lockpicking and I hardly break lockpicks(70+ lockpicks remain in my inventory at all times) so the perk as well as skeleton key are pretty useless for me.

Fast travel is a key in the game. I fast travel a lot but still I don't miss anything because there are so many locations that there is always something left and you can't find something by fast travel.

^^ i guess its completely about personal preference. I have seen many players who fast travel alot still have clocked 100+ hours. But i personally like to travel either on foot or by a horse even to a 'discovered' location. Just like the idea of meeting bandits or beers or dragons etc on the way

. But toughest enemy i have met till now is a giant. They make dragons look like a real humble living being. I accidentally casted a spell on a giant once and within next 30 seconds i was miles up in the air

^yes those giants are really strong, though i can easily kill them by a trick . But face to face combat is suicide.

wats the trick...mann once i tried using bow n arrow by positioning up the hill...but the giant climbed up in no time and i was thrown off the hill

There is a tower , where you killed first dragon . Gate to that is small and giant can't enter there . ;-)

get bow arrow and do obvious..

in the beginning it was tough to kill giants but now since i have concentrated totally on magic skills its easier, specially if my companion Aranea Ienith is with me. She's just way too good for most of the enemies. Most of the time i keep her waiting at some spot so that i get to kill a few enemies myself

. But still they are the toughest enemies i have encountered. Not exactly an enemy unless you bother them or their Mammoths.

Aranea Ienith??
Where to find her?

there is a side quest Azura's Shrine. When you do find Azura's Star give it to Aranea Ienith and she would offer to follow you. You have to talk to people in a shop in winterhold about rumours to activate this side quest. I don't exactly remember which shop. You will also encounter a man during this quest. In the end you will have an option to either give the Azura's Star to that man or Aranea. Take it to Aranea and you are done

Oh now I remember
I gave the star to that guy in Winterhold so that I can get the advantage of enchanting

one thing i learned in The Elder Scroll V : Skyrim...never ever mess up with GIANTS and there MAMMOTHS. And there was a bug while fighting with a GIANT...i accidentally jumped and he hit me..and i flew so high that i was almost going to reach THROAT OF THE WORLD. I never lol'ed so hard while playing games.

Illia was my follower in the game. Still havent completed it.

Also, if you have wabbajack and sanguine rose, the game is done.

True.

Also everytime I went to Winterhold College there was a dragon spawned.

What are you supposed to do with the star after you finish the daedras inside it ? Haven't found a use of it yet.

Its a special gem to hold soul
use the soul inside it for enchanting weapons/armors, and then refill it via battles

RazorbladeXtreme said:

Like regular Soul Gems, Azura's Star has the ability to trap white souls, or those of creatures. These souls can be used for enchanting or recharging. Azura's Star is the strongest 'Soul Gem', so using it to enchant weapons and armor will give that item the greatest effect. Azura's Star will not disappear upon use, allowing you to trap another soul after use.
Souls will fill Azura's Star before Soul Gems. Followers wielding weapons with Soul Trap can use Azura's Star to capture souls.

Which school of magic do you guys think is the best? I have tried Conjuration and destruction till now and found conjuration to be better. At times it's kind of overpowering but still fun. Still to try Illusion which I have heard is also an excellent area to concentrate on if you know how to properly manipulate it.

Some hilarious **** I found :

Thats the beauty of mods and games like Skyrim.

Just got to 75 skill level in conjuration and got storm atronach and dremora lord. Had to bid goodbye to my companion as it was becoming too easy and enemies were getting killed before i could even touch them. Also had to increase the difficulty level to expert. Really Conjuration is overpowering I wonder what illusion would be like. Conjuration coupled with mage-atronach stone, arch-mage's robe, morokei, some ring with 30% magicka regenration and archmage's amulet means almost infinite magicka(+230% magicka regeneration and +110 extra magicka). Enjoying expert difficulty though

and yes I won't fail to repeat that this game is just too good

.

fingers crossed

Am frantically searching for a place to buy this. Flipkart's sayin out of stock for ages. Don't know if other online sites are reliable!!!!
Don't want to get it from Steam or something, no good data connection.
My last resort's to check in Landmark or somewhere else

^Go to a retail store and buy it. Awesome game

Search Nextworld, TheITwares and other online shops. First find the product then ask whether its reliable or not.

The Elder Scrolls: VI Survey [RESULTS]

******************************************************************

Anyway to confirm this ?

*i.imgur.com/7S6i1.jpg

^Nice survey there.

1. If its going to happen "All of Tamreil" , then it may be disappointing as Bethesda have to include all the race's lands which might get huge^n and so, they may have to cut down on various features.

And yea , I'd like a hardcore mode just like Fallout series and a "hot coffee" mod like thing in TES:VI (though only available in hardcore mode and that too optional)

Spell making sounds interesting.

Spell making was there in Oblivion.

So I modded my skyrim to good extent, around 20 mods working simultaneously without conflicting with each other. Here are some screenshots

i started the game yesterday,i am now on the way to "bleak falls barrow" to get the dragonstone
can anyone suggest me some good xp and money yielding side-quests? btw my character is from the "Imperial" race.will people in skyrim behave badly to my char.?(because he's imp. and the nords hate imps.)
also how to make my character like the dishonored guy? (i mean,with magic and daggers/bow and arrow)
and can i recuit followers at this point of the story?

and i also found the REAL Aela the huntress killing a giant.how to recruit her?

^^ You can't recruit her now. You can't have any followers at this point of the game. Wait for few quests to complete and you will start understanding everything about "followers" . Well you can basically levelup and improve any school you want. As a mage you have many options like conjuration, destruction, illusion etc. While archery has a separate leveling tree. As for daggers you will need good sneak skills. But only do that if you have required patience for sneaking. if you don't want to use sneak skill tree then another way is to get a spell called "muffle" and use it to muffle your footsteps while you sneak up on your enemies. I won't go in much details as that can potentially take the fun away from the game itself. Skyrim is fun even to learn

. Enjoy!

my only advice to you would be to not to spend perks on more than 2-3 skill trees. If you start spending your perks on various skill trees then you will end up a mediocre in everything and master at nothing. Choose 2-3 schools that interests you and concentrate on them. Use perks on other trees when absolutely necessary.

Started Witcher earlier or I would had started this one. Great game, played it last time for quite sometime but wasn't running properly on my PC so left it and now when I have a PC that can handle it then I have got little time, so unfortunate.

Just talk to people to gain the quests
There are no particular quests which gives you better loot. Its the way how you approach the game decides "what" loot you gonna get. Explore , explore and explore.

You wont have any specific problem , whichever race you choose.

I didn't get you by "dishonored" guy thing. You want to look like him or play like him. Anyways, you can't "look" like him in this time of your game ( may be some mods may help, but then you'll need Dawnguard DLC to get you makeup right).

You can recruit 1 follower that I'm aware of. His name is Fendell and he lives in Riverwood (the first village you visited after dragon attack). Just talk to him and deliver the letter to the girl he asked you to do (in his favor of course). He's not a great follower but being an archer, he'll support you well by pinning enemies down before you do. Also, you'll be able to unload your stuff into his bag when it gets heavy.

Hope this helps

^by the dishonored guy i did'nt mean to look like him.i meant his skill set(magic with rogue stuff) then i realised you don't have a good skillset for what you call a "rogue" in RPG-speak
i saw my char. in novice robes and hood with a sword and flame magic.he was looking like some AC guy,that sparked off the idea

OK...
Well you can be like him after some part of the game, once you have required skills .
According to Prima guides, they have assigned each race to the most appropriate role they can play.

For example, Orc as Berserker, Breton as Battlemage, Redguard as Weapon master, etc..
The role you are talking about is perfect for Dark Elf (according to Prima guides guys)
But anyways, the game depends how you play. LOL I can even play mage with Orc

@Commander

I see you got your friend out there

@piyush: you know any alternate way to bleak falls barrow? when i start from whiterun town i always encounter a giant in the way,and of course you know what happens with a lvl 1 character facing a giant

CommanderShawnzer said:

If you actually are lvl 1, then you should postpone your visit to Barrow, coz it'll be much harder for you to complete the quest.
Meanwhile explore a bit more around riverwood, caves and all. And I think you are not aware of leveling up system in Skyrim. We dont get exp points for completing quests. We level up when we level up our skills, i.e, for an example, For you to become a lvl 2 character, you have to level up 5-6 of you skills by one point. For example you leveled up your restoration, one handed, destruction, speech, etc... by one points each or any skill with consecutive 5 points, like this way.

So enhance your skill by practicing/applying them so as to level up.

And is you still wanna try Barrow for one time, then go to the bridge near the riverwood(small bridge actually), and try to reach the fort/tower in your sight (on your top left while standing on the bridge). After reaching tower, you can easily reach the barrow. Dont follow the navigation marker until and unless you have routed yourself a way to the destination.

I hate that two sharpy things coming from helmet. Forgot the actual word for it.

horns?

Yeah Horns. I hate them, I prefer a helmet with no horns, they kinda freak me out.

Why do you have to fight with giant at all? just keep your distance. But as piyush said if you are playing anything at or above Adept difficulty then you should postpone your visit to Barrow.

@Piyush Thanks for the heads up. I have not tried Argonian till now so as well. I will give argonian a try this time

i find the horns on the helm cool.but why are the horns pointed downwards? vikings have helm's with upward horns

started skyrim a couple of days ago.

now i understand the hype and hoopla behind it. this game will captivate you for weeks!!

right now, i have over 900 steel arrows (i pickpocket EVERY guard i find)

so, any tips for a newbie like me? like sneaking/bow combat?

I'm assuming after pickpocketing, if unsuccessful, you reload the game instead of fighting with the guards.
Anyways, For sneak+archery combo, focus on Sneak, Light armor, Archery as your primary skills. Apart from these, you may also increase your One handed, Block, Pickpocket and Alchemy skill . Alchemy to make poisons so as your archery becomes more scary.

Apart from that, explore a lot and Hard save a lot.

dumped my imperial character
continued the game with my nord guy
he leveled up fast,level 4 right now
raided "greymoor fort" got 2 sets of iron armor and 2 banded iron shields after slaughering the bandits there
reached the "serpents bluff rebound" as a part of the "companions" side-quest
there were some tribal guys called ~~"forerunner" or something~~ foresworn. it was hard, but i dispatched them(for a bunch of tribals they yeild good loot :grin:

)
sold spare stuff in whiterun and got a full steel armor set
concentrating on 3 skills : one-handed,Block,heavy armor

poor fennel is still running about in iron armor set

@Piyush Can you please recommend some good Mods? I love modding games. Spent weeks modding GTA 4 and I am sure Skyrim has just as much potential to be modded. PLease suggest a good set of ENB and some other realistic lighting Mods. As for ENB I prefer natural colours rather than too vibrant colours. If there are any mods that do not change the core of the game and yet make the game more enjoyable then please do recommend. There are just so many choices of mods that I am overwhelmed and confused.

EF You Bethesda,and EF your First-person view,

why does'nt betesda optimize the third person view

First list down the mods you have already used, so that I could skip them.

^^Till now I have used none. I once tried Sharpshooter's ENB but I found it too rich in colours. Back then I had GTX 560 and apparently 1 GB was not enough for skyrim Mods. Now i have a brand new Sapphire Vapor-x 7950 in my system and I guess my system can now handle some heavy mods. Right now only extra thing I am using is "Official High Res Texture Pack" .
Here is the specs of my system. Suggest the mods which my system can handle.
i5 2500k @ 4.4 GHz
ASUS P8Z77-M

thanks man, im using dwarven bow and full thieves' guild armor. pickpocket is at 59

im level 15. yeah, i do load savegames after unsuccessful attempts

also, can a 0% chance item be stolen?

how should i specc out the green/theif tree? any good skills worth investing in? coz afaik, most are just mediocre, and i think i'd be better off investing in the warrior tree.

@piyush : whats the minimum level i shuld be for 'Barrow? and which skill shuld i lvl up, heavy armor or block?

-->Female idles-->Pretty faces-->follower faces(overwrite when asked)-->CBBE(dont overwrite face/head files)

Nexus Mod manager will do that for you, just pay attention when it asks you for overwriting

thanks man, im using dwarven bow and full thieves' guild armor. pickpocket is at 59 im level 15. yeah, i do load savegames after unsuccessful attempts
also, can a 0% chance item be stolen?

how should i specc out the green/theif tree? any good skills worth investing in? coz afaik, most are just mediocre, and i think i'd be better off investing in the warrior tree.

LOL 59!!
Mine is still 17 and i;m at level 16 i guess.... I just cant do pickpocketing successfully

and never tried a 0% item attempt

Thief tree?
you mean sneak tree?
Its deadly at later part of the game... you'll see

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

killed the HagRaven

Well I was level 5/6 when I reached Barrow
And since you are a nord, invest Block with Light armor, coz Heavy armor will slow you down and you wont be able to make many power attacks

Check that wall of text i posted above where each race is stated....you'll find Nord too

Thanks alot piyush for explaining everything in detail. Really many thanks. I will start off with graphics mods first.

@piyush :
thanks man, you deserve rep for this.

yeah, i meant the sneak tree. i just refer to it as thief tree, coz thats how i play, sneaky thieving mage

i wanted to steal a staff of summoning from a guy, but it was always at 0%, so i had no choice but to kill him. then, 2 quests later, when i wanted to enter the mage academy, i used the staff to "qualify" for mage training. luckiest loot ever!!

oh yeah, did i mention that mountain climbing is totally broken? with horses, its even more crazy. i bet that horses in skyrim were descendants of goats and monkeys.
i managed to climb a really steep mountain just by jumping and strafing. (but it took me more than 20 minutes, i could have just Fast Travelled to a town and walked in the time).

and yea mountain climbing is crazy, even more crazier when on horse.
BTW use that Better world map mod (few KB size) to have roads on the map. I installed this one early on.

Done

. I was wondering whether all mods can be installed through Nexus Mod Manager or some of them have to be installed manually. For example That Ore Vein mod's directories were somehow messed up. So i extracted it and created a new "data" folder and transferred Texture and Meshes folder into new "Data" folder. Created a new RAR archive with new directories and installed it again with Mod Manager. This time it installed in correct directories. Is that how it is supposed to work?

The mods I suggested are all compatible with NMM
Not sure about that mod which I listed in exception

Ore vein mod worked fine in my case with NMM
That was 4 months back
may be new version is out or something

Use block just before the enemy's attack to absorb the damage and stagger the enemies
dunno about blocking in different direction

I tried the graphics mods you have suggested Piyush. SMIM is a good one and it works in a perfect way. Changes are very subtle and you really have to be a fan of this game to observe these changes because casual players won't pay that much attention to details. But I do and I loved the changes it made.

Since I don't like FXAA so I did not try FXAA Post Processing. Tried Enhanced Shaders and they were great really. But then I came across this another ENB preset from SuperB and it came along with Realistic Lighting addon. Man now the game just looks crazy good. Now it's impossible to travel through skyrim at night without a torch and I love that thrill factor of the night environment now

. I mean now if I ever have to play Vanilla skyrim, it will be like torture. I tried RCRN also but it did not work that well for me.

Some of the other mods i tried and loved are-
1) ScenicCarriages
2)W.A.T.E.R.
3)Skyrim Flora Overhaul

I intend to try to improve the looks of the cities of skyrim. I have heard there are various mods for that. If you happen to know any good mod for that please do suggest.

[help] I'm on my way to the glenmoril wotches' hideout from rorikstead and i encounter a dragon along the way,how to fight it???
ps : its silver skinned and breathes frost. and running does'not help either

@piyush : any mod which lets you take 3 followers with you at a time?

When it lands slash slash lmb mash.

You haven't got a single shout yet ?

i have "unrelenting force " shout
anyways i evaded the dragon by taking a different route

For frost dragons, get a flame atronach spell and use it in dragon encounter
not that its a best solution, but will make fight easier

and for follower mod, there is one, Ultimate follower overhaul, patch 1.8 required.

@CommanderShawnzer You may feel like you need more than 1 followers right now but trust me after you have crossed certain level and have spent your perks wisely, you won't need even 1 follower. My suggestion to you would be to stay away from any gameplay changing mod when you are playing the game for the first time. Play it the way it was intended to be played. But if you still want to try it then see what piyush has suggested.

At what difficulty are you playing anyway?

^playing on "expert" difficulty

and can anybody tell me how to level-up the block skill?
even if i block when an opponent attacks me, they always score a proper hit.and i rarely get xp on the block skill

completed the "Companions" questline and it seems that have the entire companions' group as recruitable followers
my current follower is Farkas
is this guy OK as a follower or should i get a mage from college of winterhold since i'm a nord warrior(Block,One-Handed,Heavy Armor,Archery)
for a more balanced pair?

If/since you are a pure warrior, then you better opt for a range damage dealer
Aela the huntress must be available to you by now
but dunno how good she is

^aela is pretty BS,so i think i'll have to find a mage

CommanderShawnzer said:

Then go to Dawnstar city

Do their temple quest involving some nighmares
and get a mage as a companion
name Erandor
kickass mage

Try out Jzargo. One hell of a companion. Levels up with you pretty high. Can use heavy armor and heavy weapons + a good mage(not excellent but good).

To get Jzargo you have to join the mage's college in the winterhold. Jzargo will give you 10 scrolls to use on Undeads. Do that and go back to him and he will be ready to follow thereafter.

If you want a pure mage then you can try out Araena also. Full on mage, sucks at melee. Or you can also go with what piyush has suggested.

To get araena you have to do azura's star quest and take it back to her and not the other guy

someone list some mods that DONT affect basic gameplay much, but are *essential*, like the unofficial patch, skyui, etc..

just installed Dawnguard
so what should i do
do the stormcloak quest(liberating falkreath) or dawnguard?

@piyush/rohit/anybody who can help me : What are the common ingredients which can be found in the wild easily or bought at Arcadia's Cauldron to make potions of health and potions of stamina

I tried a total melee character this time. Two-handed + heavy armor + flame atronach(for range). It has become just too easy. Even at expert difficulty most of the weaker enemies require just 1 normal swing. Few of the more powerful enemies require 1 power hit+ 1 normal swing.
Level- 38
Smithing- 98
Enchanting 82
Heavy armor- 72
Two-handed- 75
Conjuration- 70
Alchemy- 50

I was using warhammer and after 'ignore armor' perks and 80% extra damage perks it has become just too easy. After enchanting my spare armor with improved smithing and drinking blacksmith's elixir before improving weapon, I was able to take my warhammer's damage to 210+ and armor rating to close to 500. I am using everything daedric. I have also enchanted my ring gauntlets and boots with extra 32% two-handed attack as well. honestly when you become this powerful so that no one can even come close to touching you, it becomes kinda boring

. As for mages I just use muffle and sneak upto them and before they turn around to see me they get 1 power hit and they are dead. I guess I will try Archery now. Archery with a tank like frost thrall maybe and sneak. It should be more challenging as i have no experience with sneaking in skyrim. But i loved Thief series so I am a big fan of stealth. Let's see how it works out in skyrim.

One Tip for everyone. If you can master Alchemy and enchanting you might not even need smithing at all. But if you master smithing along with those two then you can become godlike in skyrim.

For eg. All this should be done with atleast 90 level of all three- smithing, enchanting and alchemy.

brew a potion to increase effectiveness of enchanting. go to enchanting table and enchant 3-4 things like helmet, ring, necklace, circlet etc to improve your alchemy. Go back again to alchemy and now you can brew even a stronger enchanting potion. Keep doing that until you have reached the limit. Which is close to 30%. Go to worktable, wear smithing improving armor if you have any. Drink Blacksmith's elixir and improve your armors and weapons to some insane stats.

Sorry for long post but wanted to share something I have tried. Maximum armor rating limit in skyrim is 560 so no use improving more than that but improving your weapons can help even those who haven't leveled much in smithing.

P.S. One question to everyone who plays skyrim- are muffle enchanted armors, which can be disenchanted to learn the enchantment, hard to find in skyrim? Or is it just my bad luck? This enchantment can come really handy if i want to sneak and use archery with heavy armor but I have only come across it once that too when I was playing skyrim for the first time.

@CommanderShawnzer Honestly saying I never had to brew these potions as i got plenty of them during quests. Usually my apprentice level quickhealing spell does the trick and if you have the perk of dual casting of restoration then I don't think you will need anything else except for some emergency situations. For such situations you can find enough of these during quests. but if you do need it then try googling it. That's how i learn about various potions.

@rohit
Dunno but i used to get muffled boots every often (like after each 5 levels after crossing 15level bar)

^^ Man I haven't been lucky with that. No muffled boots in last 3 characters I have tried. Let's see what happens this time. i will need them this time.

EDIT: On level 18 already with archer character and still no luck with muffle enchanted armors. Well my muffle spell does the trick anyway. have taken 50% less armor noise perk in SNEAK tree and will go further till "Silence" perk. Guess that's the only way for me. But man archery with "Power Shot" perk, plenty of "Extra bow damage" enchanted armors and overdraw perks is overpowering but sneaking is much more fun than any other style. Archery is at level 60 right now will go till 100 and see how powerful it is along with 100 smithing and 100 enchantment.

did any one sign-up?

Nah I am not much in MMORPGs.

50 Levels IIRC but mods allow you to raise it upto 81.

Played MMORPGs when I used to live in Delhi but here in Bilaspur Internet Connection won't allow me to and for some reasons I don't feel the urge to play them. Heck I tried to play Borderlands with my roommates but they are so noob that if I go down then no one would be able to revive and then gone, all would die so lost interest in that also.

I know what you mean. Stable internet connection is very much required or else the lags/disconnection spoil all the fun. I started my mmorpg campaign with Runescape when i was in 8th class or something.
And you can try Borderlands with us if you like, me, Tkin and Faun, its a lot of fun you know.

^^ Yeah I tried Borderlands but that too require very good internet connection doesn't it. I don't have a very good Internet Connection, not a Landline so speed fluctuates a lot and spoils the fun.

come join me over tunngle for a game of BL2.

AFAIK originally there was a limit of Level 81 but after Dragonborn DLC you can go upto 100. I don't remember exactly but this is my 4th character i guess and in total i have put around 400+ hours.

doomgiver said:

Like I said, I have a shitty connection at best right now. No land-line at my place, darn BSNL. Even I would join you then also gameplay won't be smooth. But thanks for the invitation, I appreciate it.

Anyone recommend a graphics mod to make skyrim looks better ? like greener grass, colorful streets, etc..

^^ See some pages in this thread. IIRC Piyush named many mods for this very reason.

Thank you Piyush for the link, i found some of your post in previous page. Installed nexus mod installer, trying some mods now

^^ Yes brother try those and I would have suggested you an awesome ENB preset but i am sure it will kill your GPU. If you have the GPU mentioned in your signature with 512 MB VRAM then i would suggest you to stay away from HD textures as i am sure 512 MB won't be enough to load all the HD textures. Even the official texture pack killed my gtx 560 with 1 gb VRAM. It used to get clogged so bad in the ruins and caves that I finally had to go for a new GPU.

P.S. Started a Shield using character a few days back. Shield is fun

.

^^ Give me link for that Texture mod. I think my GPU will handle that.

For textures you should try out the mods which Piyush has suggested in previous posts. Along with that you can try:1) Official HD texture pack or 2) Skyrim 2K texture pack.

here is the link to 2K HD Textures : *skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/607 . Official HD texture pack can be downloaded through steam. I am yet to try 2K texture pack. For now i am using offical pack. But from what i have heard and read the 2K textures are better. If you install both of these textures pack then official texture pack will supersede 2K texture pack because of the *.esp file that comes with official Texture pack. If you want to use both of them together then you will have to delete *.esp file that comes with official pack and make some changes in skyrim's *.ini files. You can google and look for more specific instructions if you are interested in that.

When you have done all of that you should try out this ENB preset:

Superb ENB-RL at Skyrim Nexus - Skyrim mods and community - This also comes with Realistic Lighting Mod which is highly recommended and since it comes with this mod itself so it's .ini file is properly configured so no worries there either. In it's readme file there are some changes mentioned to be made in skyrimpref.ini, don't forget to do that

. I am sure you will like the combination of all the mods that are suggested by piyush + textures+ ENB.

I use High preset. Extreme AFAIK should be used just for screenshots. There is also option for Bokeh's DOF and Film grain but I personally don't like it. I prefer the normal DOF.

For water try this:
WATER - Water And Terrain Enhancement Redux at Skyrim Nexus - Skyrim mods and community

I think this was suggested by piyush in his post as well. If you are interested in enhancing the looks of your character and options to customize the looks of your character then refer to piyush's post. infact I have installed all the mods suggested by him for graphics and character enhancement and effects have been incredible. Many thanks to him

and many more thanks to the modding community of skyrim which in my view has surpassed even GTA's modding community.

Thanks a lot for a lot of info.

No I wasn't being sarcastic. I really appreciate the help. Its hard to find right description of TES series mods because there are just so many of them and I can't test all of them myself.

BTW when I am being sarcastic I never put that nice smiley, I always like to use other sarcastic smiley in that post.

Try the Texture Pack Combiner.
There was a combined pack for download somewhere, I can't find it anymore.

I have created a detailed post for mods. Its the 28/29th page iirc.

I've clocked over 700 hrs on this game, so all the mods which I've listed there are those which I found to be best. There may be many more, for eg, I know there is an awesome known as HD 2K textures, but I couldn't give it a try due to GPU limitations.

So, try those which I listed as they cover up 90% of popular mods out there and if you still find something missing, then share it here.

I still didn't get what you mean. You are complaining Skyrim because its not like DA series or praising it ?? I am sorry I am not very good with smileys.

Yeah well if Spider man can come in Skyrim world then everything is possible.

Honestly saying skyrim modding community has gone crazy(in a good way). Steve jobs? man this is just crazy

yeah Full Of bugs and breaking the game yet again

Seriously ?? I thought its a nice one. Seems like Bethsda will release a update then to rectify the issues with this DLC.

With a game of this magnitude and with these many customization options it's bound to have some bugs. The point to be observed is whether the developer cares enough to rectify those bugs or not. Also, with games like skyrim there will always be some bugs no matter how many updates they release. It would be enough for me if the developer rectifies the bugs which can actually break the game. But this should be done in time or else it's a waste.

I had bought dawnguard few days back. Will have to wait for some time before spending another 20$. If anyone has tried this DLC please review it if possible. Even a brief opinion will be enough.

Alright I downloaded around 1.43 GB MODS today. Another 1 GB is remaining and then I am gonna start playing it.
What do you guys suggest?? A male or a female ?? A warrior or a Mage ?? Which is more fun ??

I prefer female for obvious reasons and also availability of some awesome character development mods specifically for female character. I use a combination of both mage and warrior or thief type character. Archery+Sneak+Light armor+Conjuration= godlike even in master difficulty. In the beginning you may face some difficulties becoz of low armor rating of light armor but in later stages it wont matter if you use your perk wisely. One other overpowering character is Heavy armor+one handed+block(shield)+conjuration. If you are going for conjuration then choose breton race as it's conjuration is already at 25 and you can just invest first 2 perks in conjuration and flame atronach can easily take care of your enemies upto level 10 atleast.

Again a lengthy reply but i hope it helps

Actually this reply wasn't lengthy at all.

Anyway I'm gonna play as a human only, that too maybe nord because I like the face of Nord for obvious reasons. Can a girl marry another girl in this game because I downloaded the Women of Middle Earth MOD and I really want Eowyn as my Wife.

Now suggest what should I chose ??

Be a man.

Yes you can marry a girl even if your using a female character. I married lydia while using a female character. Bretons look perfectly human. Only thing is that they are not that tall but with female character you won't mind that at all. If you have installed the character development mods that piyush suggested then you can create a breton character just as beautiful as a nord. I will post a pic of my breton character if possible.

Well lets see what will I choose male or female. I have actually never played as a female in any game at all. Nut in this game females are so beautiful after the MODs of course. If a male face will impress me enough then I'll be male or Female.

Created a Male Nord. Damn the females are so sexy but some reasons I didn't chose them.
Installed nearly 35 mods including 2K textures and its working for now, lets see what happens next however the brightness has been lowered and sometimes everything looks kinda dark but a little tweak did the job.
I accidently installed a nude mod for females and damn after so many mods for body and all they look sexy. Had to modify the mod though so that they will wear undies when I strip off all the equipment from them.

Anyway loving the game, getting a stable 60 FPS with all settings at highest including the AA. Have to do a little tweaking for micro stuttering though but I'll get it to my liking real soon.
Big thanks to Piyush for compelling me to play the game and also for recommending such awesome and sexy

Mods.

if you are using ENB series+ real lighting mod then night will be dark. I prefer to use dark nights as it is a little more intimidating that way

and candlelight spell gives me just about enough light to go through the night

So any method to make the environment brighter ??

With that CBBE mod I accidently activated the nude version and guess what. When I took all their equipments they were all naked. I was like WTF ??
I changed it to lingerie mode because with that I wasn't able to play the game.

Fellas you need to see this
100+ Mods and Damn the Game looks Photo-realistic

You can try this link if you are using Superb ENB preset but i don't know if it's any good since I haven't used it- *skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/19467

Super RL enb nights aren't that dark for me. I mostly switch between Super RL & TV Enb (looks better but is slower).
Any one used Climates of Tamriel ? How is the performance on that ?

^^ For me it's pitch dark and I like it that way so it was not an issue for me. Other ENBs weren't so dark but that maybe coz they did not come with realistic lighting mod properly configured for the ENB presets.

I tried Climates of tamriel just tonight but the problem was that superb ENBs config did not compliment it. The daytime bloom effect was non existent which really bothered me. Yes the sunrise and sunset was beautiful. Even the rain looked like actual rain and the effect of heavy rainfall on lakes or any other 'still' water-body was just amazing. I will either have to look for a ENB which compliments this mod or else will have to play with the *.ini file myself to find the perfect match. That mod, if you can get it to work with ENB properly, can be a godsend in terms of realistic appeal of the game's environment.

For me there was no performance hit in terms of FPS or smoothness with this MOD

Alright will try that, will also try the Climate mod if I can.

OK as promised to Piyush here are some screenshots

I hope you like it. Now I am thinking to install some more graphics Mods as I am getting solid 60 FPS till now so want to see which mod can lower that.

^^ Try TV ENB I am sure it will bring down your FPS but the game just looks stunning on that

.

Going by your Iron Sword I am assuming that you haven't played it that much yet

. I loved the screenshots by the way. Especially that sunrise/sunset one

One question- Who did you go with in the beginning havdar or rolaf?

OK but will it improve the graphics as per the performance drop ??
Actually I have yet to install the Climate mod and after that I guess that screenshot will improve. As for now, love the water and the textures so far. Also the Pretty face mode didn't worked out quite well and there was a clear partition of neck and rest of the body so uninstalled it. I don't like so much dirt on ladies faces and tried many mods but none does the job as per my liking. I hope that I will find some more. For now my my Skyrim installation directory is 19 GB.

Yeah haven't played much, just level 2 guy, still confused whether I should be a warrior or a mage because warrior class is not very fun in this game or does it becomes more fun later ??
BTW how do I do the spells because as for now I don't know one and do everyone have to play as Warrior first ?? I mean in other games you have some spells from start but in this game this is not the case.
I guess that was Havdar. He seemed like a nice guy to me so went with him.

Nice screenies out there

BTW have you added immersive weapons and armor mod too?

Piyush said:

BTW have you added immersive weapons and armor mod too?

Yes added them already. Now added some more like Climate Change, Realistic rain, Lightening, snow footprints, HD Retexture for Landscapes. Some mods conflict with each other so have to take care while overwriting the files.
After all of these, still getting 60 FPS no performance drops whatsoever.

OK so are the screenshots better than the Official HD Texture pack or not. I am asking because I never tried that one and directly went on to installing all the graphics mod so don't know exactly, how much improved graphics have became.

I hope you are using the nexus mod manager or something equivalent for mod installs.

As for mage yes it gets boring afterwards.

Completely forgot how to activate spells though.I think it was something 'Q' related.

Yeah I am using NMM thanks to Piyush, though installing ENBs are still pain in the ass. Some will cause the game to crash and then uninstallion. Really tedious, nevertheless, experimenting a bit to get a good taste of it. CF setup also adds to some problems as some ENBs don't works well with CF setups but I am glad with the performance.

Damn the nights are too dark. I mean I can't see a thing properly just like in real life. How do you guys roam in night ??

I usually skip the nights with the wait option, I think the default is "T" on the keyboard.

Carry a torch
Or buy a candlelight/ magelight spell (One of these spells hover above your head to illuminate the surroundings)

Piyush said:

Thanks. Will do that. There are also some lantern Mods in Nexus. I guess they can be useful now. Never thought I will use that much Mods but one mod leads to another, what can I say. It feels awesome to modify a game to that much degree and play it.

It's the candlelight spell. Magelight spell can help you in marking your way so that its easier to come back in the dungeons. What magelight spell does is that it will leave a kind of a ball of light where you cast it and it wont go out so you can track your back in dungeons if you cast it at the right places

As for the neck partition I believe there is a patch for that for CBBE. If i remember correctly it was on the file list of pretty faces MOD.

I haven't tried TV ENB myself but I have read on many forums that it may well be the best looking ENB out there. Try it out, replacing ENBs is pretty easy anyway

and please post some screenies if you do

Well I tried to overwrite every file with Pretty Face MOD but still neck partition. Anyway CBBE also works great and don't need pretty faces much. Will tweak it if needed to.
As for TV ENB Mod, I tried both the Colorful and non colorful mods but both posed problem with manual installation and with NMM it looked much worse than the Super ENB so I am sticking with that only.

Soon will put on the list of MODS that I have installed currently.

Just save,exit the game and load the game again or try doing any other quest and come later to talk to serana. I tried these when I also got the same problem. It worked for me though....

Save when? After Talking to Moth Priest(Dexion)?

CommanderShawnzer said:

When you are talking with Serana or the moth priest, you will be in the Fort Dawnguard right. Save in the fort even before talking with the moth priest or after talking to Serana and load from it or do a small side quest and later on come to Fort Dawnguard and resume your quest. In the game I preferred not to become a vampire.
Side Note: Even after completing the Dawnguard Quest you will be left with Serana as your companion and even then you can become a vampire just by talking to her and letting her turn into a vampire. its your choice though...

Boy all my Mods collection is gone with the HDD or I would have resumed this game also.

CommanderShawnzer said:

Just do a side mission while having started this quest. And yea, do save before you initiate this quest.

Piyush said:

A Thumb Rule for RPG games. Save everytime you are going to talk to someone, you never know what might go wrong.

Not the biggest fan of Elder scrolls anymore

Well I am not a big fan either but I do have to admit that game is darn good and gives more than value for your money.

Actually no, Skyrim was a massively stripped down version of Morrowind.. If you have played Morrowind, you will know the world "felt" much much more detailed than skyrim

Nerevarine said:

Yeah I have played that as well but you have to admit that not many games of this age are as good as Skyrim. if you talk about good ol games then we used to have plethora of real nice games back then but with time the quality has been degraded and not just for this series but every series I recall. Look aat Bioware's list of games and other RPG developers. All of them created great games back then and now they are just trying to get as much money as they can. But still Skyrim is good enough for me for this time of gaming. Also with so many mods of the games, it looked like paradise and all so can't really complain much about it.

I was talking about Elder Scrolls III,

..
That was the shiz back then dude.. You should really try it.. ANY elder scrolls fan should try it

*i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab32/flint117/morrowind1.png~original
Morrowind 2013 looks almost better than SKYRIM

I know and I have Played it and the Elder Scrolls 2 also which had just too large map to walk.

Nerevarine said:

I tried it. It has a tricky fast travel system though.

^true, it had silt striders and mages guild teleporters.. Can get repetitive at times but it was still not that hard to get from one place to another.. Especially after you get the boots of blinding speed

Finally bought the legendary edition for 1.8k on Steam.

Super excited, maybe after playing Guild Wars 2, I won't feel lost in this genre

Where can I get umpteen mods for this game? Should I apply mods from the beginning itself?

Try the game as it is for the first time. At least 50 hrs if you take my opinion. Then you can go for mods.
Or, you can choose those mods which dont change the integrity of the game but still add lots of stuff.

here are some mods which I used in my only playthrough after 200hrs in game

Mods

Playing vanilla for few hour is best way , since then only , you can appreciate the mods you installed .

I usually apply the Graphics from the beginning but no gameplay changing mods before playing for some time.

C

When i enter Dragonsreach, everyone attack me and lydia (she is constantly fighting there as she is not following me). How i make them non aggressive ? Reason for them being aggressive is i made a monk follow me into that place, he attacked everyone (not my fault). If i don't visit Dragonsreach for some days, they will forget everything ?

One does not simply save some NPC companion,when one's ass is taking fire.

In the Dawnguard expansion, although you cant marry her without mods

There is no need to use any mods to keep any follower alive but one needs to jump into the fight before they does and help them...

If you give proper equips she rarely dies. I use her as tank, send her in room filled with enemies while i pick them with my bow and arrow. Also my lydia one hits kills even bosses and dragons so i hardly need to fight most of the time.

Weapon is Mehrunes Razor. I dont remember where i got it but it has slight chance of instant kill.Armour is dark lilith mod with lot of enhancements. Armour doesnt matter much you can give her good armour and it will do.
Sometimes dragon scoops land outside city. Every gaurd rush to kill dragon. Lydia goes in 1hits dragon it dies and then i go in to take the credit.
Also when fighting a dragon just keep on eye on the hp it will be like dragon having 60% and then suddenly it will die.

Oh that ! nice... Thats dagger was actually the weapon Daedric Lord Mehrunes Dagon used to carry. Its has 1% chance to insta kill, that was the reason I never tried.
Nice Lydia you got there

S

It looks a hell lot more than 1% to me.
If you yourself use it i think charge will get depleted fast. But when lydia uses it doesnt get depleted so you dont have to worry about refilling it.

Are you refering to tropical skyrim - climate overhaul map ? If you dont have dlc , make sure you are not installing dlc version mod . If you dont have BOSS sowfware , then download it asap / Run it , it will rearrange your mod in order and will tell why a partular mod is making your game crash . Also i hope you already have SKSE .

Download deadly dragon/mighty dragon mod to have real battle with dragon

. Since your level is too high , You are now God of tamriel . Just download some mod that gives you tough time surviving which will make your game interesting hopefully . Some of these mods are frostfall , ultimate combat , deadly combat etc .

Should i install [Yes i can't afford 60$ :'(] the legendary version or the normal version [I haven't played skyrim even once yet]
I say that because legendary version includes all the DLC's from the start it alters the original game by quite a bit ? [i heard vampires attack you randomly?]

So what should i do ?

Instal Legendary Edition and once you start Dawnguard DLC (Vampire DLC) you will be attacked by vampires and then you will be become a vampire yourself which is considered a disease that can be cured as well and you will be attacked by guards and people in the different holds(kingdoms) when you you will become a blood sucking vampire. you can feed on people during night times but I did not like it as such...

What if i want to play the base game first [not the dlc]
Should i install normal version then add-in dlc when needed or INstall legendary edition and disable the DLC [and re-enable when needed]?

The base game is the 1st you play then you will move parallel with the other DLC's if you want as the quests will arise but it is upto you to begin them or finish them or not. So you can play the base game and then move by 1 DLC after another if you really want to as you wish buddy.OK.

P.S: The base game is itself massive as it contains main quests & side quests as well.( Along with the DLC's its really massive)

I can disable the DLC in the legendary version and re-enable them at a later stage right ?

ACidBaseD said:

I don't recommend you to disable the DLC's as it might corrupt your whole game or even your save games. So it is better to play the base game 1st then play the DLC's later.OK.

Oh..I didn't knew about that. Still Christmas Sale is just around the corner and game is also 2 year old so 75% off would be preferable.

yeah witcher 2 is region locked . you can always check if the game is region locked or not

1. Open regional Steam storefront with url:
Welcome to Steam
where cc parameter that set region store you want to browse
us - USA, ru - Russia, uk - UK,fr - France, au - Australia etc.
2. Open game store page and position cursor over "Add to Cart" button
3. Look at browser status bar. You will see something like this - javascript:AddToCart(8744);
Write down this number and repeat from step one but with different cc parameter.
Then compare numbers you written down.
Difference means that regional stores sell different version.
If you see same numbers for several EU countries and different number for Russian store then that game have Ru. Same numbers for all stores - RoW

gta0gagan said:

Ebony Armor is for both Melee Combat & Archers , Theif Guild Armor is for Mages & Deadric or Dragonplate Armor is for only Melee Combat (ie. Warriors) which are Heavy Duty Armor mainly suited for Orcs,Redguards & Nords in Skyrim.

Iirc thieves guild leader's name is Mercer right?

What a badass :wub:

Wish we could have him as companion.The thieves guild questline was very disappointing.

^^I always hated him. Such a snitch.

Wait you are talking about t hat leader of thieves guild na? who had cold tongue and did @#%#@% in the end

Me also never liked thieve guild at all.

So can we remove thief guild by killing all their member and do a great favour for people of tamriel?

When will this MOD be available for Skyrim?
Here is the link for this: *morroblivion.com/forums/skyrim/skywind-mod-releases/3323
According to it it requires Morrowind along with Skyrim.How is this possible? If they can provide an Installer then it will be quite easy for us to play this MOD.

Because it is not a total conversion mod. It is more like using Morrowind's data with Skyrim's engine and models etc.

I wish Bethesda might create a huge RPG containing the whole of Tamriel.It would be awesome right. So many hours to explore and kill monsters and with alchemy, its truly would be fantastic.

Actually there already is one. Its called Arena.

As for the mod, I guess you can download the alpha from their site. Haven't looked into it yet though.

Skywind requires Morrwind to instal and for it to work.

^Yeah and I also wanna know what happened to Nerevarine.. He seemed to have been travelling through Akavir..
also, since he got that corpus disease cured, he doesnt "age" like normal people.. Perhaps he is still alive

was there any reference to the Nerevarine in Skyrim ? Other than normal books and all ?

So everybody moved on

Started Skyrim with 36 MODS installed.

me too.. had left it unfinished months back.. Steam had my saves, but it was just 20 odd %, so started all over again

completed the game in my rerun w/ mods...i completed the story for the first time, the rest of the times ive played (150~ hrs) ive just messed around and abandoned the story and explored the world..but this time i completed the story it was really short though..now hat ive compoleted the story i dont wanna play the side quests cause ivew played all of them alreaedy..

^Go play Oblivion with mods now

i've started skyrim 4 times now.

nevr got past 15%, lol.

my luck is bad.

[MENTION=102842]doomgiver[/MENTION]
Same here bro. Though I did more than 40% but changed like 6 classes

I played Skyrim one other time before, when I had a *cough* version. After going legit, I started again. Still playing. I do more adventuring/side-quests than actual quests.

For some reason this game cannot detect my Laptop's graphics card, so it started playing in the integrated card. My progress is upto that Skyrim Launcher and then Exit. :facepalm:

Does any one else experience this?

That is a problem with AMD's Powerplay. It turns on the discrete GPU only when it detects a fullscreen application like a game. Every other time, such as when the Skyrim Launcher is running, it would still use the onboard GPU. Therefore, I am not absolutely certain which GPU runs during the game.

I think there are ways of deactivating the onboard GPU, but I don't know how. I tried disabling it from the device manager, but that does not work.

I started skyrim and played about 15% and stopped. Spent a lot of time exploring rather then finishing the game.

I used to play a lot, then at some point started installing useless mods after which most of the in game time passed testing what they do and now I don't remember what my objectives were (I must have 15-30 open quests, picking one gets difficult now so I simply exit the game as soon as it gets confusing).

That actually depends. If you are on first playthrough then I suggest only visual enhancement mods but if you are second run then also use lots of gameplay enhancement mods as this might make your game unpredictable and fun again. Also see the top list of endorsed mods on Nexus. They are mostly very good in all regards.

Thinking to start this game.
Do i need to play previous parts for playing Skyrim ?

No you don't need to play previous games.
Legendary contains all the Official DLCs of the game.
If you can then buy Legendary or Normal will also suffice.

I loaded just 3 mods and it corrupted my savegames

Fortunately, I had a backup so only an hour or so was lost.

I'll mod once I finish playing the game, mods often corrupt saves, it won't bother those who have finished it, but I need to go through the story first.

tkin said:

Well, the game doesn't really have an end. But you can do so after completing the main quest.

Also, if you are on Steam, it backs up your save games everytime you quit, so I don't think that would really be a problem.

mods rarely corrupt saves if done correctly...
1.Update skyrim to latest version 1.9.xxx i think
2.Download Nexus mod manager
3.Install SKSE, required for some mods
4.Read mod descriptions carefully
5.Install via NMM
6.pley the game

I prefer Steam workshop myself. Though I used to use NMM when I was using *cough*.

Most of the mods on Nexus mods are available on the Steam Workshop.

Climate of Tamriel ( must have mod )
Enhanced Night skyrim
Realisting Lighting Overhaul
Real Vision ENB or any other based on your preference .
Blaze of Eventide ( Fire horse)
Beautiful faces

*skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/27679 <-- Immersive armors for NPCs

OR

OR

I'd recommend you CBBE as its compatible with pool of other mods

Any one of them along with all these
*skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/11954 <-- Pretty female idles
*skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/7887 <-- Pretty faces
*skyrim.nexusmods.com/download/63471 <-- Follower better faces

While installing Female mods, Id recommend you to follow this procedure:
-->Female idles-->Pretty faces-->follower faces(overwrite when asked)-->CBBE(dont overwrite face/head files)

Nexus Mod manager will do that for you, just pay attention when it asks you for overwriting

I'm downloading mods and this is like going down a rabbit hole. Each mod recommends some other mod and I download it.

Started Skyrim-Legendary Edition

After seeing some visually modded game screenshots, I feel like going through this again. This time, Im gonna use STEPS.

So, will share some never seen before visually awesome shots in 2 days.

Also, to those guys who recently shared some modded shots, please share which ENB are you using.

For example, awesome shots like these:

Click Me

I use RealVision ENB . Its pretty awesome and less intensive on GPU .

Posted some in the Screenshots Channel Tread recently. Post 1042 , 1034.
Using K Enb pure Light. But its an fps killer, usually I get 20-25 fps on GTX 770.
Will be nice to see your screenshots.

I've played almost 15 hours on that K Enb pure Light ENB, so looking out for a change now, I'll probably try Opethfeldt but I've never got it to work so far without the game looking foggy. t

IF you are still having crashes at Solitude (or any major city), that must be because Warzones. I had similar issues, searched it and found that Open Cities and Warzones both are unstable.

-------

And on my side, I am still figuring out the mods. I think I have to try Skyrim 2HD with 4K textures this time coz I felt nothing special in 2K textures. Also 1 question: Im using legendary edition, that means those official Bethesda HD texture pack is also installed. Now when I add unofficial Skyrim2HD textures pack, they are placed below the Bethesda HD pack in load order. Is it ok? I think this is the cause that Im not able to find any major difference in textures.

Also trying different ENBs... from RealVision to Project ENB to RLO to Sharpshooters... Its to believe but I cant find any difference between them. I think Im wrong somewhere.

And immersive mods like Frostfall and/or Hunterborn are making game crash as soon as Alduin shows up during the execution in the beginning and starts spewing fire.

Thanks for that.
Would it be safe to uninstall Warzones after playing for a while with it ? I read that the saves keep on getting corrupt if you uninstall script mods.

btw both the mods are nice.

Using 4K textures & I can definitely see a lot of difference.
From what I've read and saw, the Skyrim 2HD textures from nexus must overwrite the official Bethesda HD texture pack.

Yup, if you remove them now, they will most likely CTD at some point. I think there was a mod to fix that as well but cant remember now.

And regarding HD Tex, So should i reinstall skyrim without Bethesda HD DLC? And then install the one and only Skyrim2HD 4K textures? Or can I do same thing without reinstalling the game?

Also if you need any help, Im following this thread, pretty much everything one needs to know while modding, with mods suggestions as well

HDTex should have the lowest load order among the official dlcs:

To fix load orders use LOOT: Home

Also note, the load order is there so lower load order overwrites higher ones, the lower the load order the later it will be loaded.

Any mod you install modifies your save files permanently, it inserts scripts into them. So yes, even if you uninstall it a rogue script might break you game. If you're playing for first time like me just play with official dlc packs ONLY. Then mod in next playthrough.

There is a save file cleaner out there, search for it, it might help if you want to remove those rogue scripts.

No need to reinstall, Like Tkin said it should have lower load order than the official & it will overwrite.

tkin said:

This is my 2nd playthrough, I used only graphics mods (texture & enb) on my first time. This time I am looking for gameplay changing mods + better graphics of course.

You guys mean that Skyrim2HD pack should be above on list right? I mean above those official DLC? If so, why should I have to install DLC tex if they are going to be overwritten anyways?

G

Piyush said:

Because Skyrim2HD does not have all the textures. And those that are not overwritten by Skyrim2HD , you'll see Official High res textures instead of vanilla.

Im still not sure if you guys mean the sequence order in NMM or something else. You mean to say the official HD DLC should be on top of unofficial textures if Im viewing them in Nexus MM ?

Please refer this...Its huge but its worth. Will solve most of your problems.

Played Skyrim-Legendary Edition 16 times and completed it, uninstalled it 10 times, played only half 6 times with 46 MODS.Still its my favourite RPG other than Witcher 2. Waiting now for Witcher 3...

Started again as thief archer, and i'm loving it.

[MENTION=154968]Gen.Libeb[/MENTION]

Finally everything coming together now. But some sacrifices here and there. I wanted to play Frostfall + Hunterborn mod so much, but its making game crash at some pounts

Last time (3 yrs back) I did everything manually and it was fluid. This time I picked up NMM to speed things up and it actually got worse.

Anyways, after trying many ENBs I think RealVision is suited best for me. Sharpshooter was awesome as well, but in dungeons the black hue was too much dominant, making it hard to see anything unless Torch was activated (totally breaking my sneaking gameplay). Here is the list of active mods. Will use other immersive and characters / NPC mods later. Most of these are Texture mods.
*i.imgur.com/AQS0C0r.jpg?1

Will add other screen shots from tomorrow.

- - - Updated - - -

BTW guys, who have already completed the game once and want to try something new but not game breaking (in lore friendly manner), please do try Skyrim Redone. Its the best thing happened in mod community in my opinion.

^ I'm not using enb but a light and fx mod and I face that black hue issue while sneaking in dungeons.I'm going to uninstall it and apply realVision. I hope it'll fix issue. Thanks for list.

Is there any mod for sun glare effects and god rays?

Sun glare effects are in RealVision ENB. [MENTION=118706]Alok[/MENTION]

I almost never play Night Time, use the wait thing.
I tried TK ENB today but the distant terrain didn't looked good even at day time & its too dark at night for anything to be noticeable.

Pretty Faces mod is looking nice.

Are you using the Skyrim HD 4K textures yet, I think I might be crossing the VRAM limit with those?

Yup 4k textures they are and I think I still doing something wrong... and Im tired. I desperately need some step to step guide for modding a base game with official dlc installed

I'm unable to use vert's flora overhaul. When I activate it game crashes to desktop after Bethesda logo. Any solution please !

Alok said:

You must be using so many texture mod . Game has only 3.1gb memory limit. And using only official HD DLC along with SMIM + WATER + Skyrim 2 HD takes 2.5GB

I looked up a bit and found that many people were having problems in installing Skyrim 2HD on a legendary edition . So now I reinstalled the game and watching the modding videos step by step from the beginning by Gopher. That guy will probably solve the issues. Will follow his sequence of installing mods. I think I was doing mistake when overwriting the different mod files was taking place.

This guy shows that there is hardly any noticable difference in 2K Lite and 2K Full texture.

Ya man, I went for that guide first. It was detailed one but what it lacks is that it cant keep up with a particular sequence mainly because it gives guide for each and every aspect of modding out there.

Thats why I am now checking the modding guide by Gopher on youtube. He is a modder for Skyrim, F3 and FNV. So far so good.

Thanks everyone...problem was that the mod came with dragonborn add on and I don't have the dlc . Unchecked dragonborn flora in launcher and it works :-D

just installed female walk physics, and new bow run and back vault.

Which was the first one ?

Thanks to Gopher modding videos, I finally completed the basic mods I needed.

Album which I will keep updating

- - - Updated - - -

Sample image
PS: Not using 4K textures mainly because :
1. Too much for my gpu in long session of gaming in one stretch.
2. Not really noticeable difference between 2K and 4K after I checked in videos and myself as well in game.

*i.imgur.com/Ix0so4p.jpg?1

Mods being used as of now. Will add some more later after searching a bit. Most likely I'l be looking for more immersion mods instead of textures mods.
PPS: For a insanely realistic but enjoyable experience, I personally recommend Frostfall + Realistic Needs and Diseases + Wet and Cold + Winter is coming + Cloaks of Skyrim + Convenient Horses mods together.

*i.imgur.com/PVF7EGQ.jpg?2

A little description for 2 immersion mods

Frostfall: Almost half of the region in Skyrim is cold and harsh. But even so in vanilla game, we used to run naked and show our swag everywhere. This fixes that. We will now feel cold if not taking appropriate measures. Our fingers and limbs will go numb in harsh conditions. This is directly reflected in the form of low stamina and its regeneration. And also, since our fingers go numb, our pickpocket and Lock picking skill will decrease as well. Quite realistic right? We will be able to set up camp fires, tents, tanning racks and what not. We will be forced to take a shelter in blizzard if not well equipped. And getting equipped here doesnt means that we can run in snow capped mountains wearing Steel armor. We will have to wear fur armors to counter cold environment. Stuff like that. Same goes with being wet/ drenched in water. We will quickly catch cold if are in wet condition and not taking time to dry out our clothes. Many more stuff which Im not even aware off. I just played 2-3 hrs only and found it immensely exciting and realistic at the same time.

Realistic Needs and Diseases: Remember in vanilla Skyrim when we didnt really care much what food we were carrying. At least in my case, I used to sell all of the edible products because there ws no need at all. When in low HP/ Stamina, there were potions which worked far better than those food products we have. I mean literally, we could finish the game but not eating a simple bread at all. Now what the hell??!? Does this dragon born run on air or something? So this mod fixes all of that. There is ton of new products and recipes added. We can also use many of the alchemy ingredients to make decent meals as well. For eg. an ingrediant known as Elves Ears (not really an elf ear, but its actually is a leaf from its plant) can be used with potable water to make Green Tea in cooking pot which will remove thirst. Or you can use Chicken egg and boil them to get boiled eggs now

There are 4 factors to watch out for. Food, Water, Diseases and Sleep. Now, we can eat raw meat to curb our hunger, but it have a slight chance that we might get contracted with some sort of illness. And thats true as well. Who wanna eat raw eat anyways. So animal meat needs to be cooked. We also can now dring from river stream now. But then again, same issue of getting an illness. So we have to either carry potable water from Inns or create a water carrying pooch from leather and stuff and carry it. But if we fill up pouch from river, then we will have to boil the water in cooking pot to make it safe. For diseases, we will have to either drink potion / get the blessings from shrine or create some food to help with this.

So... its fun to play with this mod activated. Do try this and watch the video no 7, 8, 9 for setting up these mods.

Cant see the sun as in, no source of light or no proper shape of sun?

In any case, watch Gopher mod guide videos. Even though his pace is quite slow but he covers everything.

I mean everything works, lighting and everything, but the sun is just a dim circle, also the sky does not seem to be properly illuminated, which gives it an almost overcast like feeling while the ground is well lit.

Have you installed Climates of Tameriel mod?
If not, do so and you can select which type of sun you want it to be. Also it offer much much better surrounding light settings and stuff.

I use RealVision ENB, it also give options for which sun to display. However, whatever I choose, the result is the same. The problem is not with the preset itself since this problem happens with any ENB mod.

Everyone who has this problem online say that it got resolved when they set bFloatingPointRender=1 in SkyrimPrefs.ini but its already set to 1 in mine and still getting problems.

That means your ENB isnt working at all as it is intended to. Same thing happened with me a week back. So I will also need to check how to properly activate ENB along with ENBoost files. I'd recommend you to search youtube for " Gopher Skyrim ENB guide"

I will see that when I get home.

BTW, ENB works since everything else is working. Only the sun and the sky is the problem.

Some of the ENB's overexpose the skies making it bright white. But usually if you look straight up only at the sky then the details and clouds slowly show.

Does the sun never shows up clearly even at 5 - 6 PM ?

5-6 PM? I can't see the sun clearly even at 9-10 AM.

FNIS is base which let you install custom animation. And those other I mentioned are most popular physics animation (require FNIS).

Piyush said:

FNIS allows for custom animations just like Alok mentioned. Couple that with FNIS Sexy Move and female characters will walk and run in a more "natural" way. Good for immersion.

WTF is with all the female characters..
Im not sexist but Ive never played a game with custom protagonist as female..
Why do you all prefer that ?

Like I said before, I already completed this game with all quests and misc stuff 3 years back with Male Redguard. Whats wrong with trying the game 2nd time with female protagonist ?

I was just wondering why ?

Anyways, in all my playthroughs i have played using Imperial Male..
Even Morrowind and Oblivion, my main playthroughs, i used an imperial male

don't you bore looking same appearance over and over again.
I don't know about you but to me when I finish a game with my main hero (male), a girl char is always a choice; because this time I'm playing to observe beauty and graphics of the game. It makes me feel like a new start and if there are mods like CBBE, Its fun

beauty is property of girls not us.
Btw Skyrim has really great mods for female characters

I haven't tried changing from the default value yet. But apparently its some setting that determines how much area around the character will load up.
So if you set a higher value, distant trees, npcs, stuff will load up so the far away things will better but I guess that also takes up RAM/VRAM/CPU power ? I don't know.

I thought you were using it looking at the crowd around the dead dragon.

I like it, you can have a lot of followers. But it makes game easier & I think its making leveling up slower because often the followers kill enemies which you would had killed otherwise.

Completed Dawnguard today. Good DLC, has some great quests and Serana is a follower with a distinct personality. However the whole experience lacks depth and character interactions are too few.

Let us take a stand against Paid Modding.

Now you see, you might ask what Skyrim did wrong but their developers did very very wrong. They have killed the spirit of modding, they are monetizing it with Steam and calling themselves a hero that they are helping the Modder.

For every $1
Steam takes 30%
Bethesda takes 45%
Modder gets 25%

Also if a mod sells more than $400 then only they can get the cash. If a mod sells $399 then nothing goes to Modder at all.
So lets take a stand.
Everyone who owns this game on Steam can contribute by Writing a NEGATIVE review for Skyrim. Their rating have came down from overwhelmingly positive to Very Positive. Lets make it Negative.

lol I installed game yesterday to play on free weekend ; now uninstalled

Negetive vote done.

And DMCA takedown have been filed on one mod.
It appears more legal issues are slowly comming up now : skyrimmods

One mod got deleted and the modder retired from modding. See this is what happening right now, community is dividing.

This step of valve-beth won't go far. I thing within a week we will see response.

Almost every such mod needs SKSE and dev of SKSE don't support paid mods

Alok said:

No they don't support paid mods but they are not going to issue a DMCA tackedown as well as per their statement. They clearly stated that, all their work will be free and anyone can use it to make free or paid mods as well.
What we can see is death of modding because guys at nexus would issue a DMCA takedown for many mods and Bethesda would not want that so they might ban Nexus from their games and you can imagine the rest. Of course its just a speculation but very much possible. In all honesty it might also backfire at them at low sales of their future games and very less active modding. Active modding is the only thing that keeps their games alive for very long. Many people still buy Oblivion because of one reason that they'll have unofficial patches and mods which will enhance the experience and will add replay-ability to the game. That that down and you just axed your own head, in the meantime some other dev can take advantage of this situation as well.
See what is happening with GOG and CDPR, people got fed up of $hitty DRMs and then they came in. Now they are quite stable which was highly unlikely given the number of stores already but they stand on top. Witcher 3 sold a lot of copies already because of one thing. Reputation of CDPR among gamers and the guarantee that they won't get robbed of money due to overpriced DLCs and DRMs.

I'm also thinking to order W3 from gog , not steam.

Please do that. Valve don't deserve your money as for now.

There's a petition for removing paid mods for Skyrim from Steam Workshop. In just three days, it has garnered close to 1L signatures, and counting. Do your part and lend your support to this, if you don't wish to pay for Skyrim mods.

Use Steam Achivement Manager to fake gameplay time for Skyrim and put a negative review for the game. Even if you don't own the game, its no problem.

Its down to 84% from 98%.

Skyrim: The Journey

*i.imgur.com/nRuCb9h.jpg

Game Name: The Elder Scrolls V
Author / Developer: Bethesda
Type of Distribution: Mods
Language: English
Build Version: FINAL
Required Game Language: English

Description:
Perhaps the most ambitious build for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Work on the Journey began in the summer of 2013, it has gone through several stages of beta testing, and the final form of acquired in April 2015.
Build exclusively Lore friendly and improves the game in all aspects: graphics, sound, gameplay, difficulty, variety, roleplay.

For visuals meet dozens of mods, carefully selected and configured ENB, and more than 24 thousand new textures, hand-selected from a variety of texture packs. Almost all the textures in the game have been improved, and at the same time enabled the volume effect parallax.
Journey has its own unique soundtrack composed by the author, that you will not find anywhere else. Sounds were radically reworked, so it is recommended to play via good headphones.

You will enjoy the diversity in everything: hundreds of new weapons and armor, a huge number of new creatures and monsters, a world teeming with life.

They have been changed and improved all the cities and villages. Many shops and taverns got their own unique design.

NPC now looks much more realistic. Considerable time and effort was invested to make each character unique.

With Journey Skyrim has to rolepleyu more, because now you have time to quench their thirst, hunger, and take care of the rest. You will find hundreds of NPC, which offer interesting dialogues and quests, and some will become your faithful companions.

In the assembly built large DLC fashion: Falskaar, Wyrmstooth, Moonpath to Elsweyr, Wheels of Lull, each of which offers more than 10 hours pass.

Just Journey makes the game much more difficult. The enemies are stronger, disabled avtoregen health, no starting spells, traps fatal, carried weight is limited, and built-in permadesa make each death seriously.

The total number reaches 450 mods.

I have installed mods using ur suggestions. One thing i wanted to ask is how to make the female characters wear some specific dress..i mean a different armor/dress. I have installed CBBE and pretty idles mod. Is there any other mods for that which needs to be compatible with CBBE?
What is Bodyslider? I saw a video which we can adjust body shape in the game itself? how to do that?

BodySlide allows you to create your own body type for CBBE and UNP bodies, plus adjust clothing for them. Plus, with RaceMenu you can adjust the body shape at runtime.

DeSmOnD dAvId said:

so the body created with bodyslide will automatically be present in the game? and will it e same for all the females in the game?
and what is racemenu? is it another tool/mod?

BodySlide allows you to tweak existing bodies. There is a list available (But you need to have those installed if you want to use them).

Choose the CBBE body you have installed, tweak the appearance using various sliders. Once you are satisfied with the appearance, click on "Build" and it will replace the default body with your modified one.

Yes, it will replace the bodies for all females. However, how they appear on them depends on how much "weight" attribute is assigned to them. NPCs in Skyrim have a "weight" attribute that determines whether their bodies are slimmer or heavier. BodySlide allows you to set sliders for both and you can check the weight transition in the preview.

RaceMenu is a mod for Skyrim that adds additional customization options to the vanilla race selection menu. You can customize almost everything in your character (even body shape if you have the BodySlide addon installed). If you have the 3D modelling skills, you can even sculpt the face into however you like, all from within the game itself.

oh..got it now.! thanks!

[MENTION=147449]anky[/MENTION] like desmond said, you can use bodyslider tool for that stuff. Though the tool must have more features now as compared to last time I used, 3 yrs back. You have to check youtube channel regarding how to use that slider and how to add custom clothing on companions.

If you own #Skyrim and all its add-ons or own Legendary Edition on Steam, you'll get a free upgrade to Skyrim Special Edition on Oct 28 #BE3

Yes, that is what I meant. I can't stop Steam from granting me that package. But I hope it would be a separate game (like D:OS and D:OS EE when they gave it free) so I can continue to use the normal version with mods.

I don't think there has been any official word about how its going to be. Since the Special Edition is going to be a separate game on consoles, I am hoping that it would be a separate game on Steam as well.

20 hours in the biggest Skyrim mod ever, Enderal

English launch trailer

enderal.com

Now that Skyrim SE is launching soon, I am wondering how many of these mods will work. The fact remains that SKSE is not going to work directly on SE and many modders might not convert their mod for SE edition as well. SE edition will just add some good textures and patches that have been given by our modding community already.

I think that SE edition won't be very popular on PC if modding is not gonna be a big thing on it. Reason being that most of the people who play Skyrim till now are the ones who mod the game and SE is nothing but bad modding of Skyrim game. The results are yet to be seen but I mean at what degree are Bethesda going to change the textures and how much. Hasn't that been achieved by the modders already, its more of a console thing than a PC thing.

You guys tried Enderal?

People say that it is much better than vanilla Skyrim, completely different (non-Elder Scrolls) story, better voice acting than most AAA games and better story than Witcher 3 (that says something) and more than 40 hours main quest.

I haven't tried it yet, but will download it over the weekend.

Enderal is a total conversion for TES V: Skyrim: a game modification that is set in its own world with its own landscape, lore and story. It offers an immersive open world, all for the player to explore, overhauled skill systems and gameplay mechanics and a dark, psychological storyline with believable characters.

Enderal is free and can be played by anyone owning a legal copy of TES V: Skyrim. (No DLCs are necessary.) It is developed non-commercially by SureAI, the team behind the renowned Oblivion mod "Nehrim: At Fate´s Edge" (and various other projects).
Features:

An open world with its own lore and hand-crafted, detailed and diverse landscapes (desert, heathlands, forests, jungles, mountains and more)

An unconventional story with psychological and philosophical undercurrents

German and English localizations, both fully voiced by dozens of speakers, many with a professional background

Multi-faceted, believable characters with own ambitions and motivations

Overhauled gameplay with experience points, survival mechanics and hard, challenging combat

An overhauled skill system with classes and new special abilities

A housing system allowing the player to design their own homes

30 to 100 hours of expected playtime

If only we all had the time, I am currently in Dragon Age 3 and it is absolutely massive. Stil have a bit left to finish from tw3 blood and wine and Arkham Knight. Just can't find the time.

I was only able to play skyrim to completion once and that too just the main quest line.

The one play through I was a nord battlemage. One handed sword and spell on the other, mainly necromancy and summoning.

Stil have to play all the expansions though. Are they good?

Sent from my Redmi Note 3 using Tapatalk

Yes.

Dawnguard and Dragonborn have a main quest of their own. Also new locations.

In Dawnguard you have to fight vampires or choose to become a vampire lord. New locations include a new building called Castle Dawnguard south east of Riften and Castle Volkihaar near the north west corner of the map. There is also a new Oblivion plane called Soul Cairne. Other than that, most of the quest takes place on the Skyrim mainland. Also has new story and characters.

In Dragonborn the main quest takes place over an entirely new location separate from the Skyrim mainland called Solstheim. Solstheim is mostly covered with ash and has different architecture reminiscent of Morrowind. As usual, new story and characters exist. You also get to travel to daedric lord Hermaeus Mora's oblivion realm called Apocrypha.

Haven't tried Hearthfire but its mostly a building sim with an added option of adopting children.

I liked the vampire storyline interesting. the way we could hover on the land and people used to get scared of me. So fun!

Well I would expect everyone to already own skyrim legendary regardless of this upgrade offer , because of just how epic the game was at launch. I remember being super excited about it and downloading it over-night (Was a student at the time and broke, get the flow

Looks pretty almost exactly the same as original Skyrim with some added ambient effects that you won't really be aware of for most of the game. Having seen a lot of ENB effects, it just feels like they haven't changed anything. But it's also 64-bit, so I guess Special Edition could become the de facto modding platform for Skyrim over the original. Depends on whether the SKSE team decides to create a version for this one.

Comparison:

Its a fact or not but they say atleast 25% of the free space must be there for a prolonged life of SSD.

Exactly. There is another 40 from over provisioning. So that is around a 100 gb free, I can't install any more stuff.

Skyblivion Teaser Trailer - Return To Cyrodiil

Yet another teaser?

Is this based on SSE or Vanilla Skyrim?

If these come then I'll skip the purchase for Oblivion and Morrowind.

Dude, you might as well buy them because there is no hard ETA on these.

This project is a community effort and everyone volunteers to work on this. Therefore, there is no deadlines or any tight schedules like in a proper game development studio.

Plus, porting this is a gigantic task. You cannot directly port every object and character model from Oblivion into the CreationKit. That means that they have to create most of the assets, locations, enemy AI and quests from scratch. And at the same time, maintain parity with the original Oblivion. This is a lot of work for a community driven project.

However, even if this comes out, it still won't be on par with the originals, therefore it makes sense to purchase them anyway.

I would had if Bethesda weren't acting like a bunch of assbags and selling 10 year old stuff at 50% discounts.

I think I had enough of the internet for today...

Skyrim Special Edition and My PC. :flamewar:

And I think Mods are not free for SE.

Some might be paid due to recent changes in Modding, but most of them are free.

Don't know if you guys are up to date with the news....but CBBE has been released for Skyrim Special Edition.
In other news, SKSE64 is in alpha.

Wut?
If you are talking about the Creation Club, you don't have to use it. The Nexus is still around. Besides, most of the content on the Creation Club right now is either crap or crappy versions of the ones that are on the Nexus.

It's still very buggy, so it's recommended only for mod authors right now. I think beta will be released in few months.

Let the game die.... Else Bethesda will keep on releasing Skyrim for all platforms available in Milky Way galaxy

We need next installment. Cynodil or whatever it is

Bethesda has to really bring on their A-game for TES 6. Witcher 3 has set forth the benchmarks and expectations for any RPG and open world game.

True that

Cyrodiil was already in Oblivion.
I don't think any new one will come out anytime soon since Elder Scrolls Online is basically a sequel to Skyrim.

I want elder scrolls valenwood or akavir, plz Bethesda, tell us what happened to nerevarine

Skywind is a project to remake The Elder Scrolls 3 Morrowind in the Skyrim engine. This is just trying to create a new map with it's own quests but in the same timeline as Skyrim. Similar to Beyond Skyrim: Bruma.
