I might try it again, Ultimate uses Requiem for base difficulty stuff and I was able to clear that mine next to Riverwood after consoling in the money to get basic armor (instead of grinding flute mo eu)

I've never once seen a realism mod that sounded like it'd be enough fun to download. I also hate playing New Vegas in the realism mode, though. I just really hate chores.

But does it make the towns close their gates at night like in Morrowind Rebirth? Does it make grand soul gems finite and takes them out of the loot table?

Morrowind Rebirth is horrible. Lunchmeat Larry posted:reminder that Rebirth removed the hair shirt of st alabrol from the game entirely, making the temple questline impossible to complete, because as a unique award artefact it was a bit unbalanced and therefore should be destroyed

I think most modders never understood that the problem with Skyrim's melee combat isn't that it's piss easy, it's that it's completely weightless, simple and lovely feeling, like you're hitting people with a brush. That's what it needs to take from Dark Souls to be fun, not the difficulty. Build a satisfying combat engine and you have the base for a good dungeon crawl or adventure. None of the popular combat mods I ever tried address this (still, I do get that there might be a lot of hardcoded engine stuff in the way). Maybe it's just me, but I believe people end up playing a stealth archer over a melee dude or a wizard in part because it's OP, but mostly because between the ragdoll physics and the hit sound it's just a lot more satisfying. Knocking some poor bandit of the Valtheim Towers bridge with an arrow to the dome is one of the best feelings in Skyrim.

All you need to make Skyrim combat feel good is just frame perfect defense. Turn the first couple of milliseconds of blocking or warding into a 100% block with a good counter stagger effect. Highly lethal combat where you can avoid all damage is far more preferable than unavoidable damage attrition battles. tktk1's Ultimate Combat is what I use https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/17196

Timed blocks are dumb and don't make sense. Parries I'll grant.

What's the difference? I guess if you're talking about mods that make your regular block degrade to nothing after a second I agree.

In some mods, blocking an attack within the first x seconds gives you a timed block and huge block bonus for that attack. Shields don't really work that way and as a concept I don't like it. Shields don't become less effective the longer someone's been holding it up. Stamina loss, sure, but a block is a block. Skyrim blocks are piss weak anyways, but I don't think timing is the solution. A timed parry makes more sense as you can use the momentum of your weapon to throw the opponent's out of the way.

But that's what I assume timed blocking is representing? It's slightly more more forgiving than a dedicated parry button, since too early will be a regular block, but it's a mechanic I'm pretty used to from fighting games.

I mean parry in the concept of a weapon parry, where timing makes sense, and blocking in the concept of a shield, where it doesn't. If I'm holding up a 3 foot block of steel and wood, it shouldn't matter how well timed it was - it should just eat the attack. I'd actually vote the inverse - the longer I'm blocking, the more stable and defensive I can get.

My dirty secret is that I quite like the survival mode from the SE. It adds just that tiny bit more hassle that makes me engaged for a bit longer. You can still bend the system over your knee, but climbing the 7000 steps is legitimately a challenge if you aren't prepared. Like you fall into some freezing water and it's all drat, maybe jumping into a river covered in ice isn't the best long term strategy for success.

Skwirl posted:I will say Ultimate Skyrim made me curious about Requiem, just balls harder dungeons and no level scaling sounds interesting. Pros: - Keeps the threat constant even into the high levels; - Good de-leveled placement; - A bajillion little things; - Active community with decent tech/patch support via discord, and the current mod curator is responsive to his players; - Basically makes me work smart to achieve my juvenile power fantasy. Cons: - Installations are a loving pain (sometimes!) that can require the equivalent of 6 credit hours in CS degree to achieve (or you might get lucky!); - Development over the past couple years has strayed from content to loving around with the physics & mass system (yes the combat is better, but I'd rather have had content); - If it gets its hooks in you, you won't be able to play any other way. Requiem has been encapsulated as saying it makes progress feel significant. While this is true, I think I like it most because it comes close to what would happen if a tubby goon was dumped into Skyrim. Want to wear heavy armor? I expect to waddle around out of breath for awhile until I get my poo poo together. I can cast maybe two spells before OOM, and an iron arrow plunging into my unarmored chest will in fact likely kill me. No, a wolf is not going to suicidally attack me, it's going to run away the first time I hit it with a sword and if I'm not an accomplished swordsman I'm unlikely to be able to stop it getting away. And if I'm dumb enough to attack three wolves at once at level 1, I am almost certainly going to die, just like I would if I wandered out of my office right now and attacked 3 wolves in the parking lot. And if I wear a full suit of armor doing that, I am more likely to survive than if were wearing my bathrobe. It's a challenge, one that can be overcome (and cheesed a plenty), but it's the only reason I still play Skyrim. It's an acquired taste though. physeter fucked around with this message at 19:16 on Jun 11, 2020 |

So, what would be the easiest way to exclude specific dragons from being affected by Ultimate Dragons? The boss dragons in Darkend seem incredibly hard compared to everything else in it and I think its due to Ultimate Dragons. Alternatively, what could I use to try to reduce their health and damage to something higher then normal dragons but not able to one shot people who get there without much issue?

In the past week or so I have learned that installing Skyrim and modding the hell out of it, followed by promising yourself that you'll play all of it and really get the most out of it this time... is a fantastic procrastination catalyst that will have you screaming through the rest of your backlog in nothing flat. I just played through not one but all three storylines of the three newest Mortal Kombat games over the past week, for example. Thanks, Shitler.

Somebody's made a fully rebuilt version of Khajiit Speak! It's very new, so there aren't any compatibility patches available yet, but they're being worked on.

Looks like Forgotten City 2.0 is not a straight 1:1 port like Enderal is. New version is a "re-imagining" set in Ancient Rome. I supose most of the plot beats will be similar

Is there any mod out there that's the female equivalent of SkySight? I love Skysight because it keeps the spirit of the original textures but makes them good, the faces aren't overly pale or shiny which is a problem a lot of face replacers have, and it doesn't require you to have some body mod already installed. I can't find any female ones with those criteria

It's missing Battlespire and Redguard between Daggerfall and Morrowind. And to be fair, Morrowind and Oblivion have had all-in-one re-releases so the Legendary Edition shouldn't be there.

How hard is it to fix a 'form 43 plugin' error? I understand it requires downloading the modding tools or... something, but I don't even know where to begin with that.
