simosimo posted:I'm looking to start a new game as a nobody. The another life mod looks good. But I feel whenever I try and play this way, it never feels too different to bein dovahkin. From the posts I read in the last thread, Requiem basically makes the game impossibly difficult. Like, "I just got my rear end handed to me by a mudcrab." Combine that with the left for dead start in Live Another Life, and you'd be well on your way to having a painful waste of space play through. e: Actually, that could potentially make for a really fun stealth / no combat play though. I'm not sure what Requiem does to stealth.

Attilla posted:So I am currently doing a run as a khajiit unarmed fighter... This is also of interest to me. I seem to remember seeing a mod at some point that added a few others unarmed melee moves to the game (kicks, maybe?) but I forget where I saw it and what it was called. Also some sort of unarmed-friendly ranged attack mod (I wanna throw fuckin' rocks or something!) would be cool.

Deadly Combat is pretty great and regularly recommended. It definitely does not make it so you can one shot dudes with a cheap bow and arrow unless you play on a low difficulty setting. Master or higher + Deadly Combat is pretty enjoyable. However once you get above level 30 or so and have all sorts of great gear you may need to jack it up to Legendary depending on what type of character you rolled. For reference, my current character is around level 18 or so and the only dudes he can one shot are the lowest level bandits and wildlife and whatnot. One shotting anyone else requires extremely careful aim, expensive arrows and poison. Last I heard Duel still had some bugs and issues, but I haven't been paying too close of attention to it.

i am tim! posted:So I've picked up an HDMI cord to run my PC to my TV so I can play games like Skyrim from the comfort of my couch with a 360 controller. I'm pretty pleased with how it all looks, but I was wondering if there are any mods that would make this better? IE Anything to better 360 controller support on the PC version, or to make seeing everything from the TV better. I've already boosted the fonts with SkyUI and that's made a world of a difference. Are you using the most recent version of SkyUI? If so, how well does gear/magic swapping from the favorites menu work with a 360 controller? I'd love to start playing with a controller again on my melee character.

tooterfish posted:Does SPERG make wards not utterly useless? I tried out a battlemage ages ago using a one handed weapon with an off hand ward for blocking. Worked really well with Better Wards installed, so I'm thinking I might try a similar character this time around. Deadly Combat is a must from a warding perspective, in my opinion. quote:(l) TIMED WARDING I think SPERG might make ward spells cost zero mana unless you're taking damage...? Or maybe it replenishes your mana pool if the ward is being hit by magic? Honestly I can't remember, but I play with a combination of the two and wards actually feel useful.

Edmond Dantes posted:You know, I once tried to run something like this in vanilla and got completely destroyed in like 5 minutes, but since I just finished downloading skyrim (again) and just got SPERG, I think I may give this another try. That sort of play style is very possible, just make sure you spend your initial little bit of gold on conjuration and illusion spells. Fury + Sneak is basically the I Win button for levels 1-10. Speaking of no armor playthroughs, can anyone recommend some warm-looking clothing mods? I have Immersive Armors of course, but everything that looks warm in there is light or heavy.

Gorgar posted:Are there decent buffs and debuffs? I've been wanting to play a support character and let followers do the killing, but vanilla doesn't seem really suited for that. Yeah there are quite a few. There are also some that specifically require a follower of some sort to use, for example there's one that detonates any undead folks you've raised, and another that creates lightning explosions around all your followers. There are tons of self buffs and enemy debuffs. My favorite early spell is Befuddle, which causes an enemy magic user to flub 1/3 of their spells and daze themselves. kedo fucked around with this message at 21:14 on Dec 10, 2013 |

SurgicalOntologist posted:So I just downloaded like 100 different files... Is that a good plan? Or is that likely to fail and I should instead be less greedy and install and test the mods one at a time. It's likely to fail. Some of the mods in the OP are out of date, have finicky install procedures or have been replaced with better alternatives. Installing a slew of mods without testing them out is a good way to spend hours trying to figure out exactly which one is breaking your game. Scyantific had a great starter list a few pages ago. This should really be added to the OP, because all of these are more or less vital and are unlikely to completely bork your game. Scyantific posted:Generally speaking, you'll want to do your first Skyrim run with as few mods as possible, that way you know exactly what you want to change about the game.

SurgicalOntologist posted:Okay thanks. I think my list includes all those except one or two. Is it safe to start with that whole list or is even that risky? Of course if it doesn't work I can always go back and enable them one by one. That list seems pretty safe (correct me if I'm wrong, someone). Just make sure you put the unofficial patches in the right spot in your load order, and of course install SKSE. If I were to whittle the list down to absolute essentials, it'd be: -Unofficial Patches -SkyUI -Even Better Quest Objectives -Run For Your Lives -When Vampires Attack -Better Dialogue Controls -Better Message Controls -Brawl Bugs Patch -Smart Souls/Aquisitive Soul Gems -Guard Dialogue Overhaul (no new dialogue, just makes them use existing stuff correctly) -Static Mesh Improvement Mod (makes things look worlds better) After playing with that for awhile, a logical next step would be to grab some visual mods if you have a pretty good video card. ENB and a few high res textures will go a long way. e: You know what, I might even suggest SPERG on a first play through if that's what you're doing. You won't appreciate how great it is without playing vanilla, but it's really good. kedo fucked around with this message at 02:44 on Dec 13, 2013 |

The main quest line is worth playing up to but not necessarily including the final leg where you travel to Sovngarde to kill Alduin. Actually completing the main quest is kind of a let down, but all the rewards you receive prior to the final battle are totally worth the effort. I sort of steamrolled through the main quest on my very first play through, but on subsequent characters I tend to rush through the first batch to get Unrelenting Force fully unlocked, then I only do those quests if I happen to be in the right area. I forget – is there a mod that lets you skip the unlocking stages for Unrelenting Force? I feel like I've asked this before and that the answer might have been, "no, just noclip through it," but I can't recall.

DSauer posted:I've installed Duel - Combat Realism and it honestly doesn't seem like this mod does anything. I found a critique about version 5 of this mod that pans it pretty hard and I'm thinking that the current version, which the author calls "hardcore" also doesn't do most of the things it advertises. Duel - Combat Realism has been panned by a lot of folks in this thread. Try Deadly Combat. Neither will drastically change the core of combat, but I have definitely noticed differences with Deadly. NPCs will shield bash, roll around and flee to heal more often. Also you could look at ASIS if you haven't already which'll allow enemies to use perks, spells from any mods you've installed, potions and whatnot. It takes a little more effort than most mods to install, but it can be fun once you get it working.

radlum posted:I saw an Overhaul at Nexus, but the description made it sound buggy and the guy made it came off as a bit of a jerk about it. Is it any good? No. While some of what it does is a okay, the rest is exceedingly unbalanced, somewhat nonsensical (giants in city sieges  ) and ultimately it'll really screw up your save.It's fun to mess around with for an afternoon, but it's not a mod to have in your load order forevermore. It's really too bad, because a lot of the stuff it tries to fix would have been great in vanilla.

Mister Bates posted:Out of curiousity, has anyone tried Civil War Overhaul? http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/37216/ It looks really loving good, but does anyone here have a trip report? A bunch of goons including myself have tried it, and I think the general consensus is that it has some nice features but is horribly buggy, requires console commands to fix many events, and also has some idiotic and unbalanced features (eg. giants during sieges ). It will most likely break your save, so if you'd like to experiment make sure you keep a backup. It's not main save material.

Pretty sure you have to just find charcoal unless you install another mod. Lots of general merchants sell charcoal, and you can find it everywhere in wardrobes and desks and whatnot. One trip through a bandit fort and you'll have enough for a long time. I think a couple of the survival mods include it as a crafting item, but for the life of me I can't remember which ones do.

So its the time of year for my annual Skyrim binge and I realized that I've never played a pure melee character. All of my previous characters have used at least bits and pieces of magic, but this time around I think I'm going for a orc brain-beater. Maybe with alchemy tacked on so I can at least make potions (I mean, alchemy isn't really magic, right?) Any recommended mods? The stuff I'm running at the moment that would apply here are Immersive Armors/Weapons and Deadly Combat. Anything that would be good for an orc playthrough would be cool, not sure what exists.

OSheaman posted:So I want to re-roll a new character who is extremely crafting-centric (Smithing, Alchemy, Enchanting). Obviously with vanilla Skyrim that's a death sentence for your char unless you also have some good combat skills and don't over level the crafting, but can this be made viable with mods? I have SPERG already but anything that a) makes it easier to play a crafting/non-combat-focused character and b) makes crafting more fun/rewarding would be appreciated. Why not just get a good follower mod and find a few followers who can do all the killing for you? They'd benefit from your crafting and you'd be able to keep your hands clean, so to speak, and it'd make crafting more rewarding because you could play Barbie dress-up with multiple characters instead of one.
