atomicgeek posted:Got a hair question. Are there any hair mods that aren't anime/fetish bullshit? I like the kinda rough look of the vanilla hair textures, but I'd just like more variety of hairstyles for my bosmer. Actually, failing that, is there a way to reliably open up human hairstyles for elven characters (my favorite hair is that human lady style with two braid loops at the neckline)? I'm playing on SE and I do plan to try converting Race Plus, but failing that, if anyone has recommendations in the meantime, I'm all ears. Hallgarth's Additional Hair sounds like what you're looking for, a basic expansion of the vanilla hairstyles: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/7992 It doesn't open up human hair to elves, though, to my recollection.

The hair styles available to each race are in RACE records which are frequently overridden by other mods that change the same records that load later. And there are potential mesh issues I believe. Most people who want more customization and don't want to fiddle too much with separate head parts/hair/race records install an overhaul that affects all npcs and the PC, or use a custom character creator like RaceMenu or ECE. Trouble is, those can be buggy af and seem to work by the grace of god at any given time (ECE in particular is a Japanese tool that was not translated well and lacks documentation to boot... this stuff "works" via tribal knowledge dissemination).

Superior lore friendly hair mod is awesome and before you look at the screenshots and frown at me just know that there is a straight hair version and rough version, the rough version is pretty close to vanilla and looks quite good without feeling too clean like anime hair mods.

DuchessOfKvetch & ajkalan & midig and everyone else doing hairchat--thank you so much! I'll check all of those out. It's weird to me how Fallout 4 has tons of mods for cool gear and hair and stuff that fits the aesthetic of the base game, but Skyrim modding's apparently all sexdolls all the time, or at least enough so that it's tricky to dig out the gold from the poo poo.  I wonder how much is just age of the games vs the audience for each respective IP.Gobblecoque posted:Oblivion's Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood are pretty fun but Mages and Fighters guilds are awful. You're right about Fighters, and in all fairness I never did that line because I loathe loving escort quests. I liked the Mages Guild though! I think it was the individual guild houses having (to me) fun little stories. Like, the rear end in a top hat house leader who killed an apprentice with a ring because wizards don't know right or wrong, or the entire guild house punking their clueless incompetent leader. The overall story, ehhhh, bad wizards doing bad stuff, sure, I guess. ONE FINAL EDIT! either Hallgarth's or SC Hairstyles did add human hairstyles to elves, just, stretched out to weirdo elf/alien skull proportions. I found the hairdo I was looking for right away! Thanks again! atomicgeek fucked around with this message at 04:37 on Jan 10, 2019 |

Oblivion Mage's Guild took Mannimarco and made him an extremely bad and pathetic joke, so it's clearly the worst  . The Thieves' Guild quest was good enough for it to be surprising that it was made for Oblivion and not like, a better game. I could tell you literally nothing about the Oblivion Fighter's Guild.All three guilds in Skyrim are utterly terrible, though Thieves' is probably the most odious.

Fuzz posted:Oblivion Thieves Guild was a better quest than the main plot. Oblivion had a lot of just raw good stuff going for it. However, it was buried underneath what was for a lot of people a boring setting* and what's, still, frankly, a terrible leveling mechanic, and also, a terrible fight system that anybody in their right mind would bypass with either stealth archering or just straight up wizard nonsense or modding or just entirely denying the game in whatever way possible. But I'll still fire that fucker up (heavily modded ofc), because although it was a disappointing game, I don't think it was quite a bad game. Damning by faint praise maybe? I liked it a lot and I have yet to exactly put my finger on why, but I did, and I do. Also I think there's still a lot of fun to get out of Oblivion in a way that's still kind of intuitive and......easier....compared to Morrowind, which is still an amazing and good game, but has its generation of UI and controls working actively against it. Like, I regularly will roll up a Morrowind character and try to go and....there's just more friction against playing it in 2019 versus an even slightly more modern sandbox game, because it's just that old and the controls are weird and the UI is difficult etc. It doesn't make the game bad, far from it, but it means you have to make an active effort to play it now...while Oblivion still kind of squeaks in under the modern game framework in that its controls are more like something you'd play with a controller or keyboard now versus something you played 20 years ago. I still think Elder Scrolls is Elder Scrolls and Bethsoft puts out really buggy, nonsensical games with the notion that their fans are really just playing for a fun sandbox and a game they can mod pretty extensively, and up to now, if that's the case, they're pretty much right.  *honestly, I started ES with Oblivion, not Morrowind, and had no idea the Imperial Province was "supposed" to be jungles and ziggurats...after a lot of generic-rear end RPGs i really liked it for being a sandbox full of, what I saw as, unique and interesting environments--fine, whatever, I mean my baseline was Neverwinter at that point and Oblivion had the distinction of presenting a 3d sandbox that at least was fun to crawl around in, and every county looked and felt different. I don't think Oblivion is as boring as it's made out to be. A lot of it IS jungle and bog, in the south (no ziggurats unfortunately?). I also liked the western bits that are obviously part of the empire but also a completely different zone culturally and geologically, Skingrad and Anvil.

So in conclusion if you thought Oblivion was a terrible poo poo-rear end game you were right, also if you thought it was a fun RPG you were also right.

For me, Skyrim is the one I most enjoy playing as a thing to mechanically gently caress around with, Morrowind is the one I most enjoy going through and actually play through the stories, and Oblivion...has basically only been installed on my machines twice. I wasn't young enough for it to make an impact, it's writing is almost uniformly awful, and it's not mechanically enjoyable enough to gently caress around in. Morrowind, I can still play through the actual quests and like it, Skyrim I can go wild with mods and make ridiculous characters. Oblivion's got a few good things going for it (modded the gently caress out ayelid temples could be fun, the Thieves' Guild questline is great, and it's got some quest and new place mods I remember being really impressed with), but it just doesn't call to me.

Fallout doesn't have sex mods? My friend, you have not looked around enough. Actually the hair mods packages are rather old, and are based on original 3d artistry done starting with Oblivion I believe (Apachii and KS have been around at least that long). Over time, people just kept adding more hair by using meshes from other games (for example, I know at least one kit has a lot of Sims 3 or 4 hair). It got out of control because of the multiplicity of sources, I think, and no one was editing them because people use these games to create really pretty setpieces almost more than they play the game. Looks like some of them are still around for FO4 too: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/11402 Nowadays you've also got a lot more choices as far as 3d modeling and posing and whatnot, if that's your jam (your needs might be as an artist, fan fic illustrator, Youtube mod blogger, amateur animated porn purveyor...)

What? The controls for Morrowind are pretty much exactly the same as the later games and the UI is probably the easiest to use in the entire series.

Anybody have a good time running a two-handed build with Ordinator and its family of mods? I keep hearing that they're kinda eh, but I've never used two handers before and part of me thinks a vampire playthrough where I smack everybody with The Biggest Stick sounds neat. I picked up Heavy Armory too because glaives and quarterstaves look pretty cool.

I picked up Heavy Armory too because glaives and quarterstaves look pretty cool. One of the builds I like is Heavy Armor, 2 handed axe, and necromancy conjuration. Smithing, Enchanting, and Alchemy to taste. The necromancy is because I kept smacking my living allies while flailing around with my axe, so I went with more disposable allies. Vampire could fit right in aesthetically. It's by no means optimal, but it's fun. Looks cool with the Ancient Nord Armour set, as well as Ebony or Dragon Bone, but you need smithing for most of that. I've got most of the Enai Siaion mods going with it. Immersive Weapons has a couple Scythe weapons for maximum EDGE as well, but I usually stick with a big ol' axe. Otherwise I've tried a light-armour, 2-handed sword build with lightning/wind (from elemental destruction magic) destruction spells for ranged support. Fun but nothing revolutionary.

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/3182 I think this is the one I use, with some compatibility patches for stuff like immersive armours from here https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/14505. It doesn't work perfect but it usually does the job. The worst I get happen is sometimes the model gets stuck on my back if I switch directly from a ranged weapon to my hotkeyed main hand weapon. The shield is still functional, but it doesn't look like it's there. I have to reequip it from the favourites menu when that happens. If I put away my bow, then equip my weapon it works fine.
