I decided to try out that "Death Alternative" mod and the various add-ons with the elaborate capture scenarios and the new Live Another Life starts. In theory it's pretty cool, being able to suffer a defeat without the game just resetting to your last save, and taking you in unexpected new directions instead. I had kind of a fun time with it at first... I lost a fight and woke up in the nearest tavern with some of my stuff missing, and kindly villagers asking if I was OK and offering to help me find the rear end in a top hat responsible. So today I tried one of the alternate starts, the "captured by bandits" one. It started me up naked and tied up with bandits leering at me and making various threats. I had no control over my character and no way to advance the plot except by using the in-game wait function, hours at a time. Eventually a bandit walked over to me and I thought "here I go, a chance to escape" but he just curled up on a bedroll and went to sleep. After an entire day passed in-game they finally decided enough was enough and they were going to take me outside and kill me. Cut to outside, the bandit just wanders off leaving me there to "escape" using a bizarre minigame which involves hitting buttons until your stamina bar drains and then waiting for it to fill up and repeating the process. It's roughly as intuitive as QWOP. An onscreen message told me I could try to run, but I couldn't actually move. Even the camera was locked off at this point. I went and looked at the mod page and under the FAQ it pointed out that the nonsensical struggling-to-escape minigame is easier late in the game. Oh, perfect for a level 1 character then huh? Exactly what I wanted from a fantasy adventure, just staring at my character tied up for days. The idea that I should try to get good at this poo poo because it will happen all the time sort of crystallized the notion that wow, this is not my idea of fun. The whole thing has this overwhelming Loverslab stink to it, like this is the mod for people who are really, really, really into humiliation poo poo, to the point that your character being literally immobile (and naked) for hours while bandits berate and threaten them is more fun than doing quests. I felt like it was somebody's creepy rape fantasy with the actual loving cut out at the last minute to avoid an NC-17 rating, and what you're left with is just boring. Of course this is one of those intrusive, script-intensive mods that will wreck your game if you don't uninstall it very carefully, so now I get to go and meticulously clean it out of every save game I've touched in the last two weeks or so. In short, I don't recommend it.

In theory I like the idea of these death alternatives, in practice it is exactly as you say, a 'slab stench lingering on it. You can so clearly see how more overtly rapey poo poo can easily be added on because it is as if a place had been set at the table for it.

Is there a mod to bypass the claw door puzzles? It's annoying having to go to my inventory and check the glyphs manually. Googling around didn't turn up anything, but it seems like such a nice quality of life improvement to just stick the claw in and go on your way.

The only one I sort of like at all is Yngol Barrow's puzzle because slightly more thought went into it than "put answer plaque on wall" but it's simple enough to not be obnoxious to do after 10 times.

Just play the game enough that you've memorized all the puzzles like me! Alternatively this is the only thing I've found, haven't tried it but it changes the claws names to include their solution which is a little better I guess.

I had to remove DynDOLOD from my current game, and I'm sad about it. We had a short discussion in this thread a while ago about the high number of script instances in some mods (namely, Flora Respawn Fix). DynDOLOD's scripts also tend to be heavy hitters in this regard, though the mod itself isn't script-heavy at all. Anyway, my games were being corrupted upon saving, and would simply not load at all. Papyrus Data Transfer would fail to load the game's papyrus section, claiming that the script instances were in the millions. The PDT Nexus page has a couple of posts about it, and some people have reported it on the DynDOLOD page. I don't really think it's because of DynDOLOD, and the PDT author suggests it might have something to the Skyrim engine failed to write the save correctly, probably because of high script instances. But since removing DynDOLOD and its scripts, I haven't had a save fail to load. A Pyrrhic victory, but I'll see how it goes. Edit: My landscape looks like Oblivion.

Was farting around on Youtube regarding Fallout 4 and found a weekly review of mods by MxC for Skyrim. Heavy on the endless bodies and costumes but some great stuff reminded me I never finished the drat game due to mod overload. It's been along time but I'm dragged right back in.

That heart thing cracked me up. I decided last night to rerun the DynDoLOD script in TES5Edit, but this time set up the plugin so it doesn't do the whole "dynamic" thing, trying to switch out LOD's with scripts as I run around... so all it did was generated really good LOD with all my mods. The game looks SO much better now... because the "dynamic" medium-res trees looked like absolute poo poo, as opposed to my actual distant LOD trees which blend really nicely. Now the trees actually show up from a farther distance, the way I set them up in my ini, which DynDoLOD was overriding. Also the pop-in was super distracting. And the game seems to run better. I don't even know why I did that poo poo in the first place. It's great having proper LOD for everything, but that whole dynamic scripted function sucked.

Are you loading all the generated files last in MO/whatever mod manager? I've never had problems with DynDOLOD, but that is the one "gotcha" I got hung up on at one point. Even doubly so with Enhanced Landscapes, but once you get the priorities and make sure the generated stuff uses the correct textures and so on, it is worth it. Also worth noting that you should make sure the HRDLC esp files are checked when running the script as well. Older xEdit versions had a problem loading BSA resources of unchecked ESPs, this might be fixed now but I'm not 100% positive.

I had it installed fine and it was generally working fine... I can't say all the textures matched perfectly, but the amount of work involved in fixing them would have been crazy compared to just disabling the dynamic LOD function. I feel like I did a bad job communicating exactly WTF was going wrong with it, but I'll try again: Without the mod, but with my tweaked ini settings, trees would be visible pretty much from across the map, and they would switch to the high-poly model when I got, I dunno, 100 yards from it or so in the game. I don't know exact numbers off the top of my head but it happened far enough away, and my LOD trees looked good enough, that it was very subtle and I normally wouldn't notice the transition. With the dynamic LOD scripts running, trees didn't render at all until I got within about 100 yards, and anything further than like 50 feet in front of me would be an awful-looking LOD model, so running around a forest was this psychedelic experience of seeing weird blurry discolored trees popping into existence and then changing color as I got closer. It clearly wasn't the same distant LOD trees I was used to, because I had adjusted the color and contrast myself and those always looked really good. I think there was some kind of medium-quality tree model trying to pop up in between the high and low quality ones, but they looked worse than the low-quality ones. My assumption is that this was the "dynamic" effect. Maybe if it was happening off in the far distance it would have been less noticeable, but the scripts were overriding my ini settings that told the game to render trees really far away. I'd just get nothing at all and then bam, big ugly LOD model in my face. It was getting really annoying. I also noticed my framerate stuttering in forested areas. I just re-ran the LOD generation, overwrote the plugin, but un-ticked the box to use the scripted dynamic function. Now the game looks great, and it seems to run more smoothly without the scripts. I'll have to do a little more exploring to make sure the more detailed LOD from my various mods is still in effect. The huge advantage of DynDoLOD to me was always being able to actually see stuff from ETaC, Skyrim Bridges, Frontier Fortress, etc. in the far distance. I hope all that works OK without the dynamic function. If the trees are any indication, it should work better.

I read on /vg/'s skyrim modding guide that climates of tamriel is actually bad? Probably something about "it doesn't make my anime wife look good" but is there an alternative at this point? I thought that was the end-all mod for weather/lighting. Also is Hypothermia just Frostfall minus feature bloat?
