It might take a little time to get set up, but it's worth it in the end. Once your enchanting is decent enough you can can enchant one piece of equipment and clear out a merchant's entire gold inventory with it as well, though that will probably take some perk investment.

Dwemertech felt like a bit of a letdown after specter verse, the quest is 100 minutes of buggy hack and slash and the spells either seem to be more or less the same or just not as interesting. Nothing as cool as the spell that lets you hover in space firing lasers at your enemies before throwing them into an exploding star.

Smithing XP gain is tied to the value of the produced object, but I'm not sure how enchanting works. I'm pretty sure it's tied into he value of the enchantment, but I don't know if the item's value is considered at any point.

Are things like Expanded Towns and Cities and Falskaar and Dawn of Riften/Windhelm actually safe to install all together?

The problem is more expensive things use way more mats for not much more xp. The winner for leveling smithing is to make silver rings (use the transmute spell to turn your iron into silver) since it takes very little in the way of mats and you get rings to enchant. And if you have some gems you can make rings with those too for a bit of an xp bonus. Ideally I would have smithing give a much smaller base amount of xp for crafting something and a much bigger increase from value. Maybe even something that reduces how much xp you get as you make more of the same item or something. Although that's still a bandaid. I think some mods give some xp for mining and melting down loot so smithing levels more naturally as you play instead of just when you grind it.

This is an open letter to the makers of SPERG: While I enjoy the design of your mod, one part of it can piss right off, that part is the 'Glittering prizes' perk. 'Glittering prizes' is an otherwise useful perk Stipended by one of the most annoying implementations I have ever seen. While it allows you to make some pretty nifty preset enchantments, it also gives you the baffling ability to deconstruct and alter various Daedric weapons to different forms in a rather unconvincing manner. This alone may cause some scripting errors along many of the game's quests, however this is purely incidental for there is a much more annoying and unavoidable issue that occurs as a result of this perk. For whatever reason the implementation of the script that allows you to craft items on enchanting tables is active for every single crafting item in the game that is not a vanilla crafting station, this includes the forge in the Dawnguard stronghold (that can craft Bolts) and any unique crafting station added by a mod. I know that this is not intended functionality and I would appreciate it if you could somehow fix it, or if this is not possible: re-implement it in such a manner where this cannot happen again (magic orb summoning power maybe?).

I haven't tested this personally yet, but I'm currently downloading the hell out of it: Bard Instrumentals Only, which does what it says on the tin without the use of scripts. It just alters bards' song selections to the instrumental versions. Also, thanks to Legacy of the Dragonborn's update shenanigans that caused all the crafting stations to abscond from the safe house (thankfully this won't happen for new installs) I ended up moving my crafting materials over to Aemers Refuge (sic). Though a few of its inclusions feel a bit excessive--it includes rooms with every shrine and doomstone, but I'll probably just console them out--the place is gorgeous and expansive with a deceptively clever layout and lots of curiosities. It also features the most non-broken teleportation hub I've encountered yet: it only goes to player homes and a few other storyline base-ish locations after you earn/reach them. Though Legacy is more content-heavy, I feel like Aemers acts like a nice supplemental base for the opposite side of Skyrim. Plus fighting dragons on the roof is so

Either something has changed since that was made or it's a mod conflict. It certainly didn't affect anything but enchanting altars last time I looked at it. As a workaround you can just console the perk on and off, or use TES5Edit to modify the keyword it uses to determine what is an enchanting altar. I know somebody else had the same problem at one point, so maybe they can shed light on how they fixed it.

The Dawn of Skyrim (Dawn of Riften/Windhelm/Solitude/Whiterun/Markarth) series and Expanded Towns and Cities should be compatible for the most part. Dawn of Skyrim only changes the major cities, while ETaC makes changes to the smaller towns and cities around the province. Falskaar is its own worldspace, so nothing should really affect it. In short, yes, they will work together just fine. Just make sure your PC is up to scratch since the first two add lots of stuff to each city/town which might cause a drop in FPS.

Has anyone ever combined a shitton of mods and textures to make them all compatible and packaged them as a new Skyrim "Edition" to completely overhaul the game? I can see people getting up in arms about that if not every modder gives permission, but if someone goes to all the trouble to delete all the conflicting navmeshes and making sure all the world cells don't CTD, then it's still just another mod - albeit a huge one.

Why would you need to even do that? As long as mods don't alter the same things, they're compatible anyway. And even if they do, you can usually just adjust their load order to produce the desired result. That's been the beauty of TES since Morrowind, excellent modding support built in from the ground up, the games are designed to run multiple mods concurrently.

Since we're talking a bit about player homes, crafting, and storage, I have to mention General Stores. Someone posted about it ITT, prompting me to install it as well as Craftable Cloud Storage and this mod made by our own Lt.Smash I think? Could be wrong. It basically makes inventory management a complete non-issue if you keep a General Storage or Cistern key on you for instant, no-frills access to all your stuff and the ability to just shove items in and not have to worry about them. The third mod lets your access your crafting materials from any crafting station, though I noticed the cooking pot is a bit buggy and doesn't give you all of your food items. You can take any vanilla or custom player home and plop down these activators anywhere you please, through the CK or by dropping craftable keys (that you can pick back up later). Or just put them loving everywhere if that's your style. As an insatiable packrat, I just can't go without these mods.

I half wish all those tools weren't made so Bethesda would have to put some effort in for all they reap from the mods. But a big part of why a pack hasn't been made is there isn't a clear group of best mods. Its also a lot easier (in large part to MO fixing install order) to get the mods you want working on your own.

It does not include stuff stored in the Raw Foodstuff storage. To my understanding, it should be giving you both.

Were there any mods that addressed that? If you have both the Apocalypse spell pack and its adjunct More Apocalypse installed, there is a Novice-level Alteration spell called 'Deep Storage' which is a bottomless container that you can summon to you at any time. I used to get overloaded about three-quarters of the way through a dungeon; now, when that happens, I can just summon the chest (from the bowels of the earth) and dump everything extraneous into it. Finish the dungeon, walk to town, resummon the container and pull everything out to sell. No problem. Pretty much any court wizard will sell you the spell book, too.

No, they're not perfect, but that's still pretty huge in my opinion. It's not like they're holding back the good stuff for themselves for gently caress's sake, the Creation Kit is what the game's content was made with. Complaining that the tools could be better is legit. Implying that the modding support is terrible just because modders have hit the limits of what the developer's own tools were designed to do is being just a teeny weeny bit entitled. It's not terrible, it's actually pretty loving great compared to the vast majority of games out there. tooterfish fucked around with this message at 02:33 on Sep 30, 2014 |

Does anyone have experience using Real Unleveled Skyrim from ERSO? Thinking about using it alongside Morrowloot and some combat difficulty mods. I quit my last (vanilla) playthrough when I levelled lockpick and pickpocket too much and all of a sudden bandits were super tough. Basically I want to have to use stealth and dirty tactics to pick regular human/animal enemies off early on, and generally have to run away from scary fights, but once I'm strong enough to fight bandits I don't want them levelling up magically cause I spent some time focussing on non combat skills. I don't care about being too strong compared to most enemies later on. I'm bound to stop playing before I reach a super high level, or I can just cap my own level I guess. It's the early/mid game I want to be fun and satisfying.

Besides, the only thing a Skyrim mod megapack would be doing is delegating all the work that every user would have to do (download, install, and more importantly, update and patch) to one person, who would probably kill themselves if they even tried to do it with the most popular mods. And that's before having to deal with already established overhauls like Requiem, ACE, SkyRe, ERSO, and to a smaller extent, SPERG. I mean sure, there's stuff like SkyProc which makes patching a bit easier to do, but you still have to stay alert for updates to every mod in the megapack. E: Capn Beeb posted:Found him a crossbow to go with his "Bones are best." weapon theme. I would use the wild hunt curiass but the ritual Boethia armor is too rad. Hey I had that mod too! And speaking of trophies, has anyone made a mod that lets you craft helms out of dragon heads or cloaks out of dragon wings? If not, why the gently caress hasn't someone done this already? Bethesda already gave us dragon legbones to use as warhammers, it's only fitting that we get to stroll around with a motherfucking dragon's head for a helmet

It seems to bump human souls a class above Grand, meaning no gem in the game can capture them. Unless I'm grossly misremembering, I think that perk just changes a couple of GMSTs. It's something simple like each gem size has a setting for max level that fits into it, except the biggest size. Nothing it changes should be able to prevent the highest soul gems from being filled. It's been awhile, though, so I might be thinking of something else.

Looks like something elves would make. I'm having a very weird bug. Certain things I've killed are coming back to life invincible. This started with a couple dragons - I have Bellyache's HD Dragon Replacer and Bellyache's Dragon Species mods so I have really pretty dragons of many varying types. Problem is, in the past week two separate dragons in very different areas have come back to life as invincible skeletal dragons after I've absorbed their souls. While fighting an invincible undead dragon skeleton is pretty , the fact that it can kill me and I can't kill it isn't very fun and it's a chore to get my followers to ignore it.Edit: just realized I also have Ultimate Dragons. Nothing in that should conflict with Bellyache's, so it's most likely that one. I'm not sure what's causing it though. sticklefifer fucked around with this message at 10:08 on Sep 30, 2014 |
