Any kind of mage is overpowered as hell. I'm a big fan of the Alteration tree for just about any build since it has some really nice perks.

I just did a 2h/heavy/necromancy which was kinda fun. Throw in smithing and enchanting to taste. No followers because I just swing my weapons around like crazy and the dead don't bitch about it.

Hey, dumb question: did Bethesda ever fix up the special edition's wonky audio or what? With SKSE and SkyUI being available now, and having had to install it just to claim the dumb survival mode while it was free just because, I'm vaguely tempted to start a new playthrough.

So that this isn't completely off topic, does anyone have any recommendations for sse female skin textures? The one I use for old rim looks terrrible, I think cause of a lack of subsurface scattering makes it unnervingly porcelain doll-like.

Similar for other audio, since most of those sounds are replaced with things like Audio Overhaul 2, Immersive Sounds, or whatever else; something I would use anyway, because even LE had a very poor soundscape with irrational attenuation/reverb/etc. Things I have no idea about - but can notice quite plainly when running something like Audio Overhaul 2.

I've never played Skyrim before and I've decided to take a run at it. I've apparently got both the original and the special edition on Steam for some reason, but I'm unclear on how much, if any, I should mod at the start. Is a vanilla SE playthrough the best for a first run?

Definitely play SE instead of Oldrim. There's really no reason to play the latter unless you already have it all modded to hell and back or have an old computer that can't handle SE. Or if you want some specific anime titties mod that doesn't exist for SE I guess.

Vanilla really isn't bad - there are some more broad game design faults I could cite, but outside of the user interface nothing is really "bad", and even the UI works for the early game - it's just a cluster gently caress when your inventory starts to get jam packed, which of course gets worse with mods. I actually had fun replaying strictly vanilla when Special Edition first released and mods for it basically didn't exist.

Mod List: https://pastebin.com/8wwLTjxu (Sorry, Modwatch is down) I have a fairly heavily modded Skyrim SE in Mod Organizer 2 that was rock solid until about twelve hours into the game. I was following the main quest to Ivarstead and fought in a battle between Imperials and Stormcloaks (probably part of immersive patrols or warzones). When I reached Ivarstead I quicksaved and the game crashed straight to desktop. No freezing, no message, nothing. I assumed it was a fluke and reloaded my last autosave and performed mostly the same actions. Tried to save in Ivarstead again and another crash. I started trying to troubleshoot at that point. I traveled to Markarth and tried to save and another crash. Went inside a house and tried again for yet another crash. I used coc UnownedCell and tried to save there and still no success. Not every single quicksave would crash the game. Sometimes I'd have a successful quicksave, rest for an hour, try again, then crash. Sometimes I'd crash after the rest ended automatically. Sometimes I'd crash upon transitioning to a new cell. I've spent a few hours researching this issue but I can't find any definitive answer. I tried player.kill and a lot of other common solutions and at this point I've given up on my current save. I would like to find the culprit so I can start a new game with the hopes that it won't all be for nothing hours into it. I've already discovered that I shouldn't be running Immersive Citizen AI with Dawn of Skyrim Remastered. I would appreciate any other input anyone can offer on likely causes. Performance wise I've had no problems. I'm running a Geforce 980 Ti, 16 GB of RAM, and an Intel Core i7 4790K. Please let me know if I can provide any other information that would help.

I would say skyui is close to essential, by there's no harm to playing vanilla until it annoys you. the in game mod browser is actually not terrible, and I had good results from just grabbing everything that looks interesting from there, though using a proper mod organiser is best.

tweet my meat posted:Ah, I was thinking of getting Skyrim and trying it out, but I guess I'll just pass. How much does it actually cost? Well it uses a funbux unit. I think 500 store credits? Or perhaps 800? There are conflicting reports. You're given 100 credits for free when you create a Creation Club account, so you only need to buy 400 (or 700?) more. And of course as usual with funbux you can't buy how many you want -- you have to buy a pack of them. That means that you'll get some leftover points, that will serve to tempt you into buying more stuff with them, and so on. So basically you'll have to spend 15 bucks but then you'll have leftover credits to get some extra stuff. Meh. From what I've read on the Internet, Survival Mode makes you roleplay as a hobbit, because you need six meals a day and a mid-day nap in order to stay healthy. Here's how you can make yourself a better ultimate lore-friendly immersive HD special edition experience: build camps, keep warm, find food, water, and rest, stay dry and stay clean.

As someone who doesn't want to lean super hard into survival stuff on this character (Gonna do a false light focused Paladin character then respec into a vampire illusionist when that gets boring), how I'd the lite/easy setting on frostfall compares to the default settings? Is it worth running, or should I just stick with the default settings?

I've got a PS4 and a lovely laptop, so anything but sony friendly mods are out of the question. I'll probably just pass on skyrim altogether if it's gonna be like 4-7 bucks just to be able to play survival mode.

I'd add the apocalypse creator's "Spectraverse" in there too.  It's a neat little magic/quest mod with a Light/Dark theme to the spells.
