Cat Mattress posted:Khajiit Gonna Steal Your poo poo  I really wanna get wise to all the Morrowind memes and lore. I've started about 4 playthroughs but I never really got out of Balmora on any of them. Are there any mods (or walkthroughs) that give the game more direction so I can power through it without getting lost in the weeds?

Getting lost in the weeds is half the fun though, but if you want more direction join up with a guild, they'll make you go all over the place as part of their quests. If you're afraid of getting lost there's a google-maps style map available for the game, I would've linked it but I'm on the phone at the moment.

The first (I think only) skyrim character I ever finished the main quest with was an Argonian barbarian in hide armor with a 2h sword. But I also usually always just play mages.

Mages in Skyrim kind of suck tbh. It really leaned into the stealth archer thing Oblivion started, but at least Oblivion's magic was customisable.

Seriously, do this. My opinion of Morrowind is that it's the best video game I ever read. Nothing else about it was very good except the awesome main theme but I ha a ton of fun reading the lore You're gonna learn about these Daedra that everybody online says ae some shady characters but the Dunmer love them, at least three of them, and two of the ones they love are regarded as two of the most evil Daedric Lords.

Skyrim magic is p good, if you use the Apocalypse mod (and SPERG to boost damage output/duration of your basic spells). The novice channeling spell stays fairly useful at higher levels, and you get access to a lot more interesting spells than in vanilla.

NikkolasKing posted:As I recall it was mainly Destruction magic people didn't like in Skyrim. I used Conjuration a lot and it owned, had my Atronachs wreck everybody. Yeah my first Skyrim guy was a mage and I really disliked how he never did as much damage as he should, especially as I got more levels. Later on I had a p satisfying destruction mage guy, but I had to mainline Destruction at the cost of basically everything else. I put almost every level up into Magicka, and I had to take every Destruction perk as soon as it was available (I think I still wound up with some in Restoration and some in Speech though) and I was pretty effective in combat up to like level 30. Also had a couple other mages that went full Illusion, and they were fun at first, but they get pretty samey once you get the higher level spells and don't have to fight anything anymore ever. Maybe a random death here and there from a ninja sabercat that sneaks up behind you and one-shots you. I forget who posted it, it was in the other Skyrim thread I believe, somebody had a screenshot of them about to jump into the portal to Sovngard and they had their combat stats up and they had 0 kills. I always thought that was rad as hell.

If I wanted to get all the achievements in Skyrim SE, would I be able to do that on a single character? Specifically, I'm wondering how I would go about skill building/perk allotment to do all of the guild quests without them being real struggles.

I'm making my mage playthrough fun by playing as Egonus Spenglarn. He hunts daedra/vampires, reads ALL of his books, loves sweetrolls, and when he gets enough of this skill perks, he'll have a trusty staff that shoots sparks or lightning bolts (haven't decided yet) and also casts soul trap when used. He is prepared for bustin' to make him feel good. Edit: I was trying to find an old post of mine ITT and while I completely forgot why I was looking for it, I happened across a wonderful exchange which starts here that I don't remember at all, despite participating in it. Honestly lol'd. Excellent work, all. Rupert Buttermilk fucked around with this message at 17:49 on Oct 4, 2020 |

Smol posted:Say I lost my mind and decided I wanted to play Skyrim again, what would the recommended perk overhaul mod be these days? Ordinator? Ordinator is my favorite as well. It makes every perk tree useful and worth focusing on, improves basically every play style in vanilla Skyrim while opening up a few extra ones and adds a lot of mechanics and gimmicks that are honestly fun to use and combine. It also should get some kind of award for making Pickpocketing, Lockpicking and Speechcraft trees look actually cool and enticing. Also its super script-light, so you can run resource intensive mods like Legacy of Dragonborn alongside it without any issues. To be fair, they are some complaints about it, which mostly are: 1) Its not faithful to vanilla perk tree (true, but vanilla perk trees suck, so whatever) 2) A lot of its perk combinations break the game (true, but same goes for vanilla Skyrim and pretty much any other perk overhaul as well. IMHO Skyrim is a game that is fundamentally impossible to balance and the best you can do it is make sure its broken in a way you personally enjoy, and Ordinator is pretty good for that) 3) It adds a lot of extra mechanics and abilities to use, which makes it a bit finicky and over-complicated (I didn't find it that bad, but its entirely fair complaint)

Ah right. Some more minimalistic and vanilla-faithful perk overhauls were released in meantime, but if you liked the general design philosophy behind Ordinator, there is still nothing else that comes even close.

Ordinator perks seemed to be quite hit or miss. There were some really cool ones, but others were just baffling. Anyhow, I was thinking the same thing last night. I think I liked SPERG more, but the last time I played, it hadn't been ported to SE.

Sperg is good if you're the kind of person who wants to get everything, ordinator has so many perks that it forces you to specialize in *something*. It also invents new mechanics entirely which are pretty rad, read through some of the perks theres some interesting stuff

So I just discovered Young Scrolls and I’m hooked. Also, are there any super must have mods for Oblivion at this time? I’m using: OCO 2 Maskars UI Advanced Window Lighting Unique Landscapes It’s pretty basic because I like “closer to vanilla” these days and also easier to tweak.

MOO doesn't touch the player levelling mechanics themselves, just how your current level affects the world around you in regards to spawns and such. Maskar has also made Ultimate Leveling: Maskar posted:This mod changes how the player character levels, removing the need for efficient leveling and making character development more diverse. Either pick an experience based leveling system (like Oblivion XP), or a skill usage leveling system (like Realistic Leveling). The experience based leveling system allows the player character to level by gaining experience, which is done by performing actions like killing enemies, completing quests and discovering new locations. The skill usage leveling system allows the player character to level by using skills, much like vanilla, but includes an optional skill cap to encourage character diversity. Being made by the same guy, it's completely compatible with MMO, as well as having inbuilt support for the major UI overhauls. ThaumPenguin fucked around with this message at 16:46 on Oct 6, 2020 |

Another alternative was released a few months ago, Ascension - Immersive Vanilla Overhaul, created by the guy behind the Fallout New Vegas mod "JSawyer Ultimate Edition" (not Josh Sawyer themselves) as well as about fifty or so nifty little mods for FNV and Oblivion combined. PushTheWinButton posted:
It's incompatible with Maskar's Oblivion Overhaul, but is also supposedly closer to vanilla, so it could be worth checking out.
