I remember being struck by that part of the story when I played it, and explaining to a friend: There aren't any gay people in Skyrim. There aren't any straight people in Skyrim. Leaving aside where the character story goes (for the best), just doing the rounds of the town and meeting A Gay Person introduces the concept of sexual orientation, which was previously completely absent.

So at least the game doesn't discriminate in regards to player agency. Also the idea of sex in Skyrim is kind of a non-starter in general.

On the topic of sex-themed interactions, going back to Skyrim after half a decade I have run into things that that honestly feel out of place, like the quest to slut-shame Helga at the Bunk House, and the way someone acts shocked when Thonar Silver-Blood's wife implies she worships at the Dibellan Temple, like she is outing herself as a whore.

Conversely the quest to save a twelve? year old girl to be the new oracle at the Temple of Dibella has some really weird implications. Like everyone’s okay with it in setting, including the girl and her family, but a twelve year old devoting her time to study and meditation on the sex goddess is…odd.

So Arthmoor went ahead and deleted all his mods except for the unofficial patches at the last moment possible:Arthmoor posted:Due to the recent policy changes Nexus has instituted, I have put in the request for deletion of most of my files here. Not to worry, everything I have done over the last 15 years has been on AFK Mods for several years now for all of the BGS games I've modded. The files for Skyrim Special Edition and Fallout 4 are also available through the bethesda.net website. I'm in the Wabbajack discord and it looks like it will take a little while for some of the modlists to adjust, because for some reason they hadn't already phased out his mods in advance on the expectation that he would pull some poo poo like this.

On the bright side this means it's practically guaranteed that he'll be out of the picture for Starfield and TES6. That is to say, unless he returns specifically to hog the X Unofficial Patch-type mods before anyone else can organize something. This is of course exactly what is going to happen.

Also Point The Way is still sort of an essential mod that hasn’t really been replaced or replicated yet. It really helped in getting around places without having to resort to opening the map screen or fast travelling. Same with Bring Out Your Dead and Cutting Room Floor. But stuff like The Paarthurnax Dilemma and his town mods aside from Granite Hall have all had new and better mods come along to render them redundant. So gently caress Arthmoor.

I think Arthmoor's going to find a lot less people care about his asinine, childish tantrum than he believes, and modding will continue I can't wait to see how he tries to lash out.

And immediately as I say that, someone literally just published a mod that's basically a replacement for Point The Way lol. They were probably waiting for this specific moment when Arthmoor ripped all his poo poo down from Nexus to upload it.

He'll be back, he's done this before. He storms out, nobody comes with him, he needs his ego stroked, he'll slink back and act like he never left. It might not work that way, but he'll attempt it. I enjoy is 'maybe someone ELSE will make a Nexus replacement that respects the modders' take as he's not willing to help out, I guess. Also nobody will go, players go where there is easy content to consume. That's the Nexus. No players, no audience, no attention. He's a dumb, predictable milquetoast has-nothing-else stereotype. Glad to see he's finally jumped to the next level, maybe this time he'll stay out.

I think that was more of an attempt at a "Look at how much I make from modding" flex than "I am unemployed"... but it's Arthmoor so I wouldn't blame employers for dumping him at the drop of a hat. The man is the avatar of every whiny, entitled dipshit that has ever lived. I've thankfully pruned his mods from my load order a long time ago (with the obvious exception of the unofficial patch because that poo poo is ubiquitous). Hopefully Arthmoor will finally gently caress off, but I doubt it. His desperate need for attention and validation will ultimately always win when pitted against his nascent pettiness. He'll be back, and he'll be bitchier than ever.

Basically the Ultimate De-Arthmoorized Modlist is as follows: The Paarthurnax Dilemma > Paarthurnax Quest Expansion Run For Your Lives > AI Overhaul and/or Protect Your People Point The Way > Waymark Bring Out Your Dead > Skyrim Graveyards and/or Sepolcri Live Another Life > Realm of Lorkhan Ars Metallica > Complete Crafting Overhaul Cutting Room Floor > Just delete it Open Cities > Just delete it Dawnguard Map Markers > Atlas Map Markers Oakwood/Telengard/Helarchen Creek/Keld-Nar/Whistling Mine/The Fall of Granite Hill > Just delete it Incognito > I was gonna suggest Master of Disguise, but it's been ripped down for the Nexus too, so gently caress it, delete it Falkreath/Rorikstead/Dragon Bridge/Soljund's Sinkhole/Shor's Stone/Darkwater Crossing/Ivarstead/Kynesgrove/Karthwasten > Any combination of JK's Skyrim, The Great Cities Of..., Cities of the North, or Expanded Towns and Cities Provincial Courier Service > Skald's Mail Gildergreen Regrown > wait till someone makes a replacement for it Manor Roads > delete it or wait for a replacement Castle Volkihar Rebuilt > delete it or wait for a replacement Think that covers everything worth having.

I'm watching an old MATN playthrough of Skyrim right now and he installed Open Cities a few episodes ago. In this episode he notices the Giant Oblivion gate statue in Whiterun and is completely baffled why it's there. Had a good laugh over that.

Clearly if another modding site pops up, the competition will force nexus to correct its evil ways. It'll happen any day now!That aside, I've reinstalled Skyrim SE again and haven't put together a big modlist for a while. Has much changed as far as recommended mods? Would a new thread be in order, or is interest low enough now that it'd be better to just let it sit?

I don't understand the tribalism about where people download mods from. It's not like if these sites never existed, that people would somehow lose the ability to share mods. All it would take is a loving magnet link and a seeder. I'm finding it very hard to care if I have to go to a different base URL or link to get a mod file.

I'll throw my hat in the ring for a Wabbajack modlist called Licentia. Yes, it has both Ostim and CBBE but when you actually get in-game the NPCs are all basically vanilla but with cleaned-up, better looking faces, so no anime booby girl poo poo. It has basically every QoL mod you could ask for including combat overhauls and death animations and it Just Works(tm). The only complaint I have about it is that whatever graphics overhaul they use makes the game look a little too colorful for my taste.
