I can't seem to make Barnas spawn. I've talked to Lod, I've got the fresh meat, and when I go to the map marker nothing happens. I can't find him anywhere along the roads. Apparently a common cause for this is having an active radiant quest in one or both of the related caves, but I don't have any for either of them have any of you had this problem and found a way to solve it? I don't know how to force it without breaking everything I tried to use player.moveto [Barbas REFID] but it just brought me to Haemar's shame and he wasn't there, though his statue was (Vile+Barbas)

Maybe just placeatme instead. Or advance the quest so you don't have to talk to that stupid loving dog

placeatme sadly just creates another instance of Barbas, disconnected from the quest skipping over quest stages locks you out of getting Vile's Mask, you'll just be stuck with the Rueful Axe instead and that's not what I'm looking for

So I got the Enderal total conversion mod. I have never played a total conversion mod before. I am a couple of hours in and it seems pretty good and it's got great steam reviews but I have a limited amount of gaming time per week. Is it worth sticking with it if I am enjoying it so far. I just don't want to get 20 hours in and realize it's not worth continuing.

Enderal is great. Some of the scripted story things run a bit too long in terms of having the player stand around and listen but overall it was quite interesting. The sexual relationship with your follower of choice is a bit cringe worthy but the follower I went with (the girl) was well voice acted enough and the writing was overall very good, so I could accept it.

Enderal is incredibly impressive. the main plot never really gets as clever as it thinks it is or transcends being a Mass Effect ripoff, but the whole package is more than enough to carry it and the moment by moment storytelling is good enough that I was actually a bit tearful at the end, which I absolutely did not expect

Wow. I haven't seriously played Skyrim in years, at most I'd load up my rickety-rear end unstable oldrim install a couple times a year, play for a couple hours, and then not touch it again for months. Over the last week, I read the last couple of months of this thread, and finally decided to try out SE. Based on what I saw in here, I followed the tuco guide (holy poo poo this took me forever), and loaded up on every single one of Enai's mods. I'd played with apocalypse before, and heard of ordinator, but I didn't realize they were made by the same person who also had so many other mods. It's like a whole new game, I'm super impressed. It looks downright beautiful, and the RP value and amount of weird character build stuff Enai's mods allow is insane. I can't believe it's 2019 and I'm excited to play Skyrim again. So thanks for the recommendations!

The followers in Enderal aren't really that. They only go with you on some quests, and only really for their own story, or sometimes the main story. It's an odd choice, but makes the game more difficult. Unfortunately the game bugged out for me on starting the last quest, and I could never recover, so i uninstalled. It was a pretty quality experience until that though. The story was truly exceptional in parts.

So I found a fun thing about a combination of Imperious and Thunderchild. Imperious gives Argonians a racial passive where when they dip below 20% of magicka, stamina, or health, they start to regenerate in order to get back to at least 20%. Thunderchild has the meditation mechanic where you have to meditate until your stamina gets below 20% to learn a new shout. Combining all that and the way the damage to stamina from meditation ticks, Argonians can't dip below 1 stamina. So you never fail at meditating unless you stop early. It works the same for Wintersun Faiths when you worship Mehrunes Dagon. You can't dip below 1 magicka, so you'll always succeed as long as you wait long enough. Once again, Argonians are number 1 no. 1 #1

So is SE where it's at now or is there some way to make Oldrim look like SE? I just have the original and Hearthfire, so SE could still be worth a buy, but I dunno if I wanna plonk down 40 euros for it. If Oldrim is obsolete I'll probably wait for a sale

It just says "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" in the Library and when I click the store page link I get this message: "Notice: At the request of the publisher, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is unlisted on the Steam store and will not appear in search." I also can't buy any DLC there. The special edition has its own page.

Instead of waiting to get SE on a sale you can also just get a key for oldrim legendary edition for  here:https://www.cdkeys.com/pc/games/the-elder-scrolls-v-5-skyrim-legendary-edition-pc I was in the exact same boat a few months ago and went this route when I was getting back into Skyrim and wanted to do some more serious modding. It's cheap and easy and picking SE over oldrim for modding isn't exactly a slam dunk like some make it out to be.

Not to say that SE doesn't bring great stuff to the table with the improved engine, I just don't think it's necessarily the obvious choice depending on your circumstances: - Waiting for a sale or buying full price SE vs. just getting the DLC now for cheap - YMMV but I personally use a number of mods that don't exist for SE - Mangoose specifically mentioned visuals, for which mods with either version totally eclipse vanilla SE's pretty paltry enhancements - With good modding practices I think the potential for stability issues on oldrim is a little bit overstated

That's going to be pretty subjective. I don't have access to my list right now, but just off the top of my head the MCM add-on for Inigo doesn't exist, my preferred ENB preset doesn't exist, several small QoL mods or other niche tweaks I use don't exist, etc. Realistically, if you already have SE and aren't previously invested in modding oldrim then it's almost definitely the right choice. Otherwise I think it's fuzzier because the cost of entry for SE is higher and you're getting a very comparable experience at the end of the day.

KakerMix posted:The stability guaranteed by SE is worth more than anything lol are you kidding me Unfortunately, this is my experience right now. I have a new machine, and there's so much god drat jank that I never had problems with on my old computer. Like, the water is constantly flickering, there's tons more physics-related problems and I can't alt-tab. Tried running it in windowed, but the god drat thing won't run borderless. It hasn't crashed, but this is just what I noticed over an hour playing, so I'll probably run into more issues if I keep playing. I'm sure I can fix most if not all of these things with mods but at the end of the day it just feels like too much work. I'll probably wait for SE to go on sale, it should be at least 50% in the summer sale, probably 75%. That's close enough to the :tenbux: for the Legendary Edition. Thanks for all the answers!

IIRC a lot of the time, the water flickering/physics issues can be fixed by capping your game to 60 fps. If you've already done that, maybe not, though.

I had even more issues forcing it to run at 4k, including (but not limited to) a constant "LEVEL UP" text for some god drat reason so I took it down to 1080p pretty quickly. Does SE support 60+ fps and 4k?

Anyway, if it wasn't for the fact that I'm missing every DLC except Hearthfire I'd probably put more time into "fixing" the old version, but if there's a greater chance of official support (or at least better compatibility) for SE I'd rather buy that.

Other than the opening to the thieves guild quests (the thing that Brynolf is selling was "Falmer blood elixir") are there any mentions of Falmer where replacing them with rat men (literally Skaven) would be weird, visually or story-wise? And even then, the Skaven and the Falmer can still be different things, just the Falmer are never seen? E: Oh poo poo, they actually made a Skaven video game?

The only thing I've found disappointing about SE and mods so far is that RaceMenu's sculpting mode is disabled, which was a godsend in Oldrim for creating characters that didn't look like angular nightmares. So hopping back and forth between games and exporting/importing poo poo between them has been tedious and experimental, but I'm consistently blown away at how much better looking and stable SE is over LE.
