Schubalts posted:You can level forever, and keep amassing perk points until you get tired of it. Yeah but then the last few points of any skill can take forever so the progression slows to a snails pace there. And when you reset abilities like speech (easy one to level) you for example lose the ability to fence goods at regular merchants and other useful bonuses.

counterfeitsaint posted:I hate that if you play Elder Scrolls games normally, you spent like 2/3s of the game as an unstoppable god killing hordes of bandits wearing full suits of ebony and glass armor like they're nothing. I just started again and I have it set so I level at 15% of normal. I actually have to give a drat about my gear because it won't be obsolete after 20 minutes. Might drop it down to 10 or 12% even. if that's the case then you're either playing oblivion or you're modding skyrim incorrectly/not enough. try a combat mod and morrowloot ultimate e: or you're really good

Training marksman is hard when every arrow instantly kills whatever you fire at. Then there's that dumb paralyze bonus so if you fire an arrow at a guard post and he survives. He will fall down outside of your sight and lay on the ground for a while before he gets up and you can shoot him again.

In Morrowind being bad meant that you could swing your weapon into someone's face without hitting. Could that game even be played at the highest difficulty from the start? Mudcrabs would one-shot you.

I them fervently sold all my crafted potions to the scamp because he paid full value. His gold reset every week or so. So you had to wait 24 hours x 7 to get more gold. I would spend a whole afternoon just selling stuff to him. All for useless loving Morrowind gold. I have no idea what I was thinking.

Instant travel anywhere on the island, at least until the cliff racers built up so badly that I'd run into them in midair.

I'm just getting into this game again, and it occurs to me that a lot of mods require the DLC to work (Requiem, Vivid Weathers). I don't have any DLC, just the vanilla game from 2011. I'm wondering, what makes best sense to purchase? Should I just forego buying the DLC for the stock game, and instead go for the Special Edition? Or are there a lot of mod compatibility issues with the SE?

SE is a completely separate game as far as mods are concerned, and all mods have to be ported over. Also the SE version of the script extender isn't out yet. That said, there's a pretty good selection of SE mods, my only real complaint is no SkyUI yet, and all the mods have clunky spell based interfaces to get to the options because that's all they can do right now. When SE first came out, everyone who owned Skyrim + the 3 DLCS got it for free. I don't know if that still applies if you just bought the DLCs now.

FWIW I had Sperg and Sky UI plus some weapons/armors mods working fine on vanilla oldrim. The DLC were all on sale recently, not sure if they still are which is what led to my previous post about installing dlc on a modded game. e: Earlier I asked about if installing the dlc would mess with my modded games already saved, but what about the unofficial patch? Should I be good to go with it or need to start a new game to use it? Drunk Driver Dad fucked around with this message at 11:10 on Feb 16, 2017 |

OP's been updated in some minor ways, mostly reformatting and reorganization. This is to prepare the way for future expansions, especially related to SE, which I really want to actually get in there. So, I have a request: If you can think of anything that should be in the OP about Skyrim SE and is not there now, please suggest it. Also: If you have converted Oldrim mods to SE and have them hosted somewhere, please let me know. It would be awesome if you are willing to post/repost links, but if you just want to tell me you've already posted them that's fine, I can search your posts in the thread. Thank you!

Ended up using Vivid Weathers in the end. I'm using Flora overhaul, but the tree LOD textures still look pretty bad. Any fix or does someone have a suggestion for a better tree mod? Or is this just Skyrim?

For some reason, I cannot smith on enchanted weapons, despite having the perk to do so. I am given the message "You are lacking the perk required to improve magic items." I do have the perk, and I can improve magic armour, such as the thieves guild armour. Any ideas? https://imgur.com/a/pe7yQ

Any ideas? from the uesp Though it can be tempered with an ebony ingot, it is not classified as an ebony weapon -- nor is it classified as any other standard weapon material. Therefore, its upgrades do not benefit from any smithing perks, and, without a Fortify Smithing effect, it can only be tempered to Flawless quality.

Where does it go wrong? Are the recipes wrong and looking for the default meat items instead? Are the animals dropping meat that doesn't occur in the HB recipe bank? Do you have the meat but the cooking menu refuses to acknowledge they're sitting in your pocket? Does your basic venison-over-campfire require something else like salt which you've simply overlooked?

The campfire/Primitive Cooking menu has 3 recipes in total.  In my inventory I have spider meat, wolf meat and bear meat. I disabling the need for a cooking skill for the "Complete Alchemy and Cooking Overhaul" mod and made it so all recipes show up regardless of what I have in my inventory. Spider meat does have a few recipes. Wolf meat has no recipes. Bear meat has recipes but it doesn't recognize the bear meat in my inventory.

The bear meat in your inventory is probably no the same bear meat that the recipe calls for since you got it before installing the patch. Go kill another bear and see if the new meat works.
