Titan Quest and Grim Dawn add extra inventory bags as the game progresses

Same thing in System Shock II and Arx Fatalis; though they are optional upgrades.


Also there's Shadowcaster, an old dungeon-crawler developed by Raven Software and published by Origin. You had a harsh inventory limit of 11 items (9 in hammerspace, and 2 in your hands) but the whole gimmick of that game is that you can shapeshift into various cool monsters and each new shape you acquire has its own inventory. So eventually you get up to 77 slots. And that encourages you to put items in the shapes where they're most useful. Like you'd give the swords to the big four-armed lion-man shape, the healing item to the gnome shape that has very little hit points (your current hit points/max hit point ratio is preserved during shifting, so it's very advantageous to take hits in a high-HP shape and heal yourself in a low-HP shape), the underwater weapon to the amphibious shape, and so on.

I have a similar issue on PC, where I need to move strafe to Q/E because that's what I'm used to. Putting RStrafe on E makes it impossible to pick up books! Unless there's a way via INI edits to move the book pickup button to something else?

What you need to edit is controls.txt, like I did to make this mod. Editing this file let's you rebind stuff the ingame menus do not.

Now that I think about it, think there may be a utility out there that automates editing the file, but I never used it.

🚣RowboatMan: ❄️Freezing time🕰️ is an old P.I. 🥧trick...

So I had an idea to RP as Egon from Ghostbusters.

Egonus Spenglarn is a high elf, just enrolled in the College of Winterhold (magic is science, after all, and Egonus is all in on magic). Eventually, I'll have a staff enchanted with Sparks + Soul Trap, so I'll be busting all over the place. I've been chatting with my friend about all of the possibilities and limitations of trying to stay as close to an Egon as possible...

I got excited when you said it's a txt file.... why would they give it a .txt extension when it's not plain text? And why obfuscate changing the keys like this anyway? :psyduck:

Whatever the solution turns out to be, hopefully it doesn't count as a mod because I want to get achievements.

It's a lot of aesthetic references to the tv-and-movie series Evangelion, and a lot of lore references to numidium, zurin arctus, wolfharth, etc.

It's been a long time since I've seen nge so I'm probably missing some of the references and how it's supposed to blend in with the elder scrolls references.

Or maybe he just wanted to get away with drawing a creepy sex scene, who knows, what a perv.

It is plaintext though? The keys are in DirectX scancodes, which you can find here, among other places.

Nope, I have Steam SE and the controlmap txt file is not readable by conventional means. Here's what it looks like in NP++



Maybe I'm not looking at the right file? There are no TXTs in documents | My Games | Skyrim Special Edition, only INIs and the saves folder. Not sure where else it would be.

e: looking at that pastebin, there doesn't appear to be an entry for the "take" function when interacting with books, only turning the pages. So it's hard-coded to only ever use the E key?!?

That's the wrong file, the file you want normally lives in the interface.bsa, I think.

it would make sense to me that if a daedric prince was destroyed, no one would remember them, and the experience of life in nirn would fundamentally change

e: oh, maybe they're the feared and rejected aspects of reality, while the gods are the revered and accepted ones, so you might see one switch back and forth. riiight, i just remembered, that's literally happened, Trinimac became Malacath and the orcs came into being.

I hope we get a different assassin's guild than the Brotherhood.

And just more involved guilds in general. The fact they all (except the Thieves guild if you went way too deep into the radiant quests I guess) only really had presence in one city each was kinda lame too.

I like Peryite for being the chump prince. Mephala really does seem to have kind of the same portfolio as Boethiah though.
