Also, losing skill progress on each death would be a neat incentive to not die. I do like the gold thing though.

I am playing with a mod like this called "No Death Mod" You can set it to do several things when you die: Spawn at specific temple (Somebody found you and helped) Spawn at nearest temple Spawn at random forest (Bandits knocked you out and dragged you away) Spawn nearest forest (Nobody did anything with you) Penalties include: Lose everything Lose some gold Have all gold stolen and all items stolen (The location of these items can be discovered in Riften and will start a mini quest to get them back) Options Include: Not Essential Set knockout hp (If non essential what threshold causes knockout, if gone past the threshold and past 0 health then it is game over) Essential (you can still set knockout hp, but your game will not end if gone well past the threshold)

Kilroy posted:I have an HMZ-T2 that I've farted around Skyrim with, but decided to stick with a 3-D monitor. No, ENBs dont work as the rift still needs that different d3d9.dll and you have to disable all shadows which makes it look even more like poo poo. That and the "screen door" effect from the Rift's screen and lens is just bad. I tried playing with the lens off and in non-stereoscopic view just using the head tracking and a distorted FOV and that was a bit better. But I agree that the loss of ENB+shadows is definitely not a worthy tradeoff for head tracking and pseudo VR.

There's no player morality system but maybe you could do conditional checks? Like if you side with stormcloaks all hypothetical thalmor won't become followers anymore. Or like join the thieves guild then just disable Mjoll from the follower faction.

Mustang posted:I'm using MO for my mods and I can't figure out how to use the texture optimizer with all my texture mods being done through MO. It wants me to direct it to my skyrim/data/textures folder but I don't have one since I haven't changed the skyrim root folder at all. Direct it to run on your Mod Organizer/Skyrim/Mods folder. You'll get errors in the log as it runs whenever it looks at a non dds file, but it'll get the job done. You could run it through MO, but in this specific case I actually advise against it. If you do, It will move every texture out of its specific mod directory and into your overwrite directory. I had to redownload a bunch of mods for this reason.

Thanks this worked perfectly. I've ran into an issue outside of Whiterun. Something in a small area outside of Whiterun causes my PC to drop to like 2 FPS whenever I look at that spot. I can look anywhere else it plays perfectly smooth.

Missed it completely, sorry. I ran it alongside Skyrim Performance Monitor for like an hour today, no crashes, my VRAM usage shot to 1998mb maximum (2gb vram), and my system memory to 880 maximum. No crashes on that session, really no idea what's going on anymore. I'll play a bit more and see if something pops up.

I'm really liking this Leaf Rest player home mod http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/33661/ Feels cosier than the hearthfire homes, is nicely situated in Riverwood which is the best town anyway, has all the crafting facilities you need and has a few little bonuses without feeling completely overpowered like some home mods. Slightly customisable. I would prefer if you had to buy/unlock it first but I always end up super rich in Skyrim anyway on every playthrough so I guess it makes no real difference in the long run. The linked auto-sorting storage containers are particularly nice imo.

I've been using this one for a really long time, due in large part to being spoiled by the auto-sorting chests:Heimsgaror But as I just installed a bunch of new mods and started a fresh character I wanted to get away from always using it and live somewhere new. Anyone else have any favourite player homes?

Technogeek posted:It actually seems to have gotten better about doing that on the newer versions. If nothing else, tweaking a .esp file in Tes5Edit doesn't require me to move the file back to the specific mod folder. I still have to move the textures directory back to Automatic Variants every time I run SUM. Anyhow, in Lootification news, I am a loving liar. I thought I had a Lootification entry for WEAPONIZER, and I did not. I have since rectified this! In addition, I edited the esp file: Weaponizer has a really loving annoying bugged entry for the "Draugr Dagger." Its a neat looking, if somewhat badly modeled, weapon, which is added to the Draugr Weapon levelled lists. That's not the problem. The problem is that Draugr can't loving use daggers. They lack the animations for it. This leads to Draugr simply running up and doing an "Ooooo I'm spooky" dance and not attacking or anything (They stick in their spellcasting animation, but that's my interpretation.) Now a bit of googling shows that this is a known problem, which Ket posted he was going to fix in the next update. A year and a half ago. So anyhow, I simply removed the Draugr Dagger from the levelled list. It's still a neat dagger, and my Lootification distributes it as Elven. Here's the lootification and the edited esp file (you'll still need the original mod, just replace the esp with this one. You'll need to rebuild your Merged/Bashed patch.)

joats posted:I am playing with a mod like this called "No Death Mod" Yea I was aware of that. It's the closest thing to what I was looking for but I don't like silent dialog (I love Morrowind and wouold prefer a system like that, but it's just out of place in Skyrim), didn't really like the Far Cry system he was mimicking (random people help you or whatever) and didn't like the HP buffer thing. Different strokes for different folks, that's what modding is all about. Also the limited-save thing. I abuse saving as much as the next guy so I like being able to remove it entirely, it gives a purpose to the whole Jailing / Bounty system for once. I'll put all the customization I planned on in place before release version 1.0, based on the comments; probably tonight.

I'd like to note that I am (slowly) working on a new mod of my own: ObliviLoot! My first "Open World" game was Oblivion, and I still love that game. One of the things I don't like about Skyrim is how enemies basically top-out at Steel Plate and you never get to see any of these cool armors on another character. Also, while I love crafting, I hate how you'll never find anything better than what you can craft. ObliviLoot will be a leveled list overhaul that seeks to rectify these issues I have. I plan to add new equipment tiers for all enemies, and to give enemies a greater chance of having Enchanted equipment. (I also plan to improve the rewards you get for becoming thane and such.) I also plan to add (rare, high-level) enchanted gear that's better than you can create. Also planned is to give Bandit mages their own levelled lists. If you use NPC Enchant Fix, this will probably make your game a bit more dangerous, as enemies will actually benefit from a lot of enchantments. If you're interested in this mod, or just want to be my steam friend, Send me a Friend Request!

Mortimer posted:1. is it compatible with morrowloot 1. Most likely, you'll just place mine after so my leveled lists overrule Morroloot. 2. Yes.  This is going to be explicitly designed to run with Lootification. (As an aside, my LLI.esp just cracked 40megs.) If I had a lot more skill and ambition, what I'd love to do would be to make it so it wasn't always just "bandits" you were fighting. I'd add a bunch of factions that have every reason to have good gear, like Carmonna Tong cells and Argonian Invasion Deserters. Not just "Bandits."

I'm thinking of installing Dovahkiin Hideout just so I can have an easy way of traveling between each of the vanilla houses. After all, the game takes place in a world where one man became the living embodiment of a god, so why the hell can't this be possible?

Berke Negri posted:I've been mulling what other NPCs could be made into followers. One shortcoming is I have no idea what vanilla unused dialog is out there to make it worthwhile. One that jumps to mind is Brand-Shei the embarrassing "last" of the Telvanni. It's tricky. From a technical perspective I look for NPCs that aren't already deeply involved in some other quest - if they are following you it can cause shenanigans if they suddenly need to be somewhere or do something, so as few as possible is always better. If an NPC is the end beneficiary of a quest, even better - they might already have the relationship change needed to recruit them included, they just need to have their NPC records adjusted to make them into a worthwhile follower. Then, from a contextual perspective I try to justify it in terms of push and pull - what factors would push them from their current lives to adventuring with a potentially crazy dovahkiin? For someone like, say, Svana Far-Shield, that's easy - she's young, idealistic, and has a crappy job with an aunt who hates her, or Ingun Black-Briar, who even more or less tells you in conversation that she hopes to be an assassin. It makes less sense with someone like Nivenor, who is settled into her civilian life pretty comfortably, and probably thinks swords are icky. Nazeem I made as an exception to the latter perspective simply because it was too good an oppurtunity to pass up - his voicetype had a lot of useable stuff, and I was even able to frame a potential 'backstory' to him which I still might hammer out: namely, that he was an Imperial ranger before he settled down in Whiterun. Crazy Ted posted:Temba Wide-Arm. And she gets a mace that gives her x1.5 damage against bears. Yes! One of my first NPC-to-follower mods I made was to make Temba into a follower. I always give her the Bear armor from Immersive Armors. She doesn't make commentary, though, aside from vistas and dungeon entrances, so I've yet to release it. I think an axe would be more in keeping with her character - she is used to wielding one, after all. ANIME IS BLOOD fucked around with this message at 01:24 on Feb 27, 2014 |

Deltasquid posted:This is amazing, but now I have to wonder: Is there any mod that adds new dialogue to the existing followers to make them more interesting and give them more personality? Would it be difficult to make such a mod? The good news is that's what I have been working on in the downtime when I was working on Nazeem; the bad news is that I've been having mixed success. There is a lot of idle commentary that could be unlocked right away already: unique comments made by Erandur, Mjoll, and some of the vanilla followers is locked behind condition checks unique to their NPC record. For some of the comments, it makes sense, because it deals with their backstory, but general stuff could just as easily be said by any other follower sharing the voicetype. That's how Anska works, by switching the checks on general norddish comments from Mjoll to anyone in the voicetype who is currently a follower. The annoying bit is that the majority of idle commentary would still mainly apply to the male followers; Mjoll and Jenassa's voicetype are the only female follower voicetypes that would have some. Consequently, that means I have to mine the existing dialog clips for comments for them to say. The bad news is that I haven't found all that much, so far, for some of the vanilla female voicetypes to say - I've checked the -commander, -sultry, and am in the process of checking -eventoned, and it's been slim pickings. So I still think I will do a mod to expand the range of comments made by vanilla follower voicetypes, but I just feel like warning you now that not every voicetype was made equal, so some are just necessarily going to have more to say than others. I will probably roll it into a compilation that includes the three followers I've made so far.

These extra animations that went up recently add a nice touch -- opening doors and containers, putting on armor, crouching to loot bodies and so on. They force you to sheathe your weapon so no more looting the guy you just killed while his buddies patiently wait. Goes real well with immersive first person. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/51554/

Maybe zip up your Automatic Variants.esp and post it. I'll take a look at it. Now one thing I'd like to note is that there is one AV pack that's just Draugr. You sure that's not the only one you have? When you run the patcher, it should let you browse all the AV packs you have installed. Also: Did you run the patcher through MO (If you're using MO.)
