YellerBill posted:real post: is SKSE for SE still in "eventually, maybe, whenever we get around to it, don't wait up" territory or have they started actually working on it People are freaking out now because apparently everyone expected the SKSE port to be a simple matter of find-replacing Skyrim with SkyrimSE. Also one of the devs gave a deadline for a beta back in march which they obviously didn't make. But the development of the script extenders has always been intermittent. With the main devs disappearing for months or longer, so there being silence isn't anything new.

What's the easiest way to just skip The Way of the Voice (in Special Edition)? I love Thunderchild but getting it started is always tedious.

Don't think there will ever be a full Tamriel game now with ESO, so this is the closest to a singleplayer version we will get unless you count Daggerfall.

I don't know if it's 2-3x bigger than Dragonborn, but it's pretty large (Maybe the full Cyrodiil project is, but not Bruma) and the landscape and asset work is really good. The voice acting is, for the most part, very well done. Some of the quality is slightly off, and a few characters (to me) have voices that don't quite match. If you've played Interesting NPCs or any of the voiced follower mods, you'll recognize most of the VAs. The quests fit right into Skyrim; nothing incredible but nothing really stupid either. Basically it feels like a natural extension of the game, for me. If you start a new character to play it you can just jump right in (the conversation to get you in is kind of dumb) but if you use ASIS you might want to exclude Ogres and Minotaurs since they are basically Giants lite and I now have about a million of them running across the province.

Playable landmass is about 1.5 times larger than Solstheim. I was not a fan of the intro quest at all. Wanted all that to be on the other side of the gate and let people access everything asap but hey, Serpents Trail is a really cool dungeon so forcing most players through there isn't the worst thing in the world.

I was talking about the Legate at the gate who lets you in after you tell him you're in the Legion (regardless of whether or not you are). It just seems tacked on, but I assume it will change with alater release. I never went through Serpents Trail to get in (and it is a cool dungeon). I did enjoy the quest where you find out that Nord really joined the Stormcloaks and died since I was expecting him to not be a "traitor." You guys should be very proud and I hope this release has given you all renewed vigor to make it to the complete release. I'm particularly excited about Cyrodiil and Illiac Bay.

Ah - that second spoiler is actually the only quest I mostly wrote and one of the first we actually did - glad you enjoyed it! Pretty early on it was clear that managing the team and merging into the esm was more than enough to fill up the time I had on the project, so I shifted towards that. The condition on that line is looking at the wrong stage of the vanilla quest. I think its being addressed in 1.3 but I'll report it for 1.4 if not. Pretty sure that one is my fault.

I feel sorry for those whose understanding of breast physics is limited by their own feeble imaginations; the addition of an extra 4 gigs of memory and an updated graphics card is, in my opinion, a small price to pay when running the latest nightly build of Realistic Tit Bounce from Lovers Lab dot com. I trust in their credentials implicitly. No other mod has yet to show such rigorous attention to movement detail in 3D space, as well as accurate...heft.

Bruma is equivalent to a really, REALLY high-quality Dragonborn-like DLC. The voice acting is good, the music is good, the writing is good, it's got memorable characters, the whole shebang. The one thing that sets it apart is that it's obvious the team didn't have access to Bethesda's resources in terms of audio- the music is really good but they don't have access to a full loving orchestra like Jeremy Soule does, for example. Likewise the VAs have a range like Skyrim does where some are better than others, and a few don't have access to a recording studio (the audio sounds just a touch off, which, being a mod, is not a big deal because it's a mod and it was free.) If I had one... statement (it's not a complaint by any measure, in fact I think I'm going to settle on it being a gigantic compliment), it's that the city of Bruma is pretty much identical to Oblivion. Like, in Dragonborn, if I showed a person who was familiar with Raven Rock from Bloodmoon a picture of Raven Rock from Dragonborn, they'd probably not be able to tell. If I showed a person who knew Bruma from Oblivion a picture of Bruma in this mod they'd know immediately. If I dropped them at the loving gates of the city and said 'go to the dungeon' they'd be able to navigate there strictly by memory of Oblivion's Bruma. You enter the barracks in the castle and it looks virtually identical. As far as this is a 'problem' (and I don't consider it one, for the love of god I literally feel like this is perfect in the city) it stops outside the gates, where things are redone in style. The Jerrall Mountains don't look like Oblivion's Really Big Hills. They look like Skyrim's mountains. Things are in their general places in Oblivion (the big broad road up to the SUUUPER SECRET fortress of the Blades is gone... and Cloud Ruler is a ruin, too, for that matter (as described in Skyrim's lore)).

Yes. It's there, quite visible, and will apparently be heavily involved in a storyline in the full release. It's not (currently) a player home any more.

I've been perched in their Discord for the past week and the general word currently is that once they release patch 1.3 the SSE version will follow. I hand converted as an experiment and had few problems so it should be a pretty quick move.

Seashell Salesman posted:Which mods do the same things better? The most often-cited perk mods in this thread are Ordinator and SPERG. SPERG is what you want if you want your perks to be kind of like vanilla, but better. (One of the big things it does is gives you a bunch of "this should really just be baked into the skill" perks for free at various skill milestones.) Also you can get an animal companion. Ordinator is what you want if you want more interesting (sometimes gimmicky) stuff. It tends to favor more specialized builds. Also you can build a dwarven artillery gun. They're both good. And there's a patch that merges them together if you want. They also both have Special Edition versions (though apparently the SPERG SE port is a bit fiddly and not 100% functional. I don't use SE so I don't really know details, that's just going off what I heard.)

I'll take a look at Ordinator. Requiem looks like it has the potential to make the progression something enjoyable to me, or it could just make it worse.

Ordinator is very good, I have changed from SPERG to all of Enai's mods (six total?) and have been pretty happy with it thus far. I do think I'll try running the SPERG/Ordinator patch just because I like both mods so much, and the concept of what SPERG does combined with how interesting Ordinator perks are is a good idea. Seconding Requiem being a bit too obtuse for Skyrim engine/game systems. It is a large and impressive undertaking, but not enjoyable to play (at least the first 25 levels or so, I never really get further than that since you always end up "god like" regardless of overhaul mods)

Fixing the levels of enemies seems in principle like it would be fun because you'd be able to do stuff like strategically go after weaker enemies at lower levels, judge how tough enemies are by what kind of thing they are, and eventually get (permanently) stronger than particular enemy types. That kind of progression is at least fun in other RPGs. Is the start of the game just too much of a grind as a result of the way this is implemented?
