I installed some mods that add extra npcs and now every inn is filled to the brim with custom voice acted shitheads.

I used Inconsequential NPCs so it's a bunch of people called Patrons, Laborers, Scribes, and so on, and then ones with "Suspicious" in front of it like a Dark Elf Laborer I saw just standing at a window in Windhelm.

IO used that and another one. I forget what it;s called but it's the other big mod that adds npcs. Every black smith gets a freakign assistant and people like Arcadia have a family living in her little one room shop.

The only assistant I've seen that I don't remember from Vanilla is "Halldis" in Whiterun with the chick in the front of the city, she sounds custom voice acted. But it'd be really weird for that to be the only one unless it's one of the special ones INPC adds I guess.

I only have Apocalypse and the custom start mod installed, because it kept crashing with anything else, but it's cool lighting everything on fire in the Dawnstar Daedra quest, even though everything kills me in two hits because even though Skyrim has level scaling in Vanilla some stuff is still harder than other areas and I guess they didn't expect me to do the only obvious quest in Dawnstar as a scrub.

Still, it's cool not knowing WTF was going to happen with my start, so now I'm getting my alchemy on even though I just wanted to shoot fire at people.

If you find the suspicious ones after hours or whatever they'll fence your stolen poo poo

Meh... I couldn't make the combat fun and that's what I was interested in. The Survival mod stuff is kinda cool, and the alternate starts as well, but I guess you can't fix the core gameplay. Also I hate the dungeons so much. Those stupid puzzles.

agreed, although i still played through around 4 times in various states of modding despite becoming increasingly disgusted with the quests, combat, and dungeon design. i'm pretty positive that outside of a total conversion i could never play the game again.

I installed Apocalypse and Midas Magic, and now there's a shitload of spells and its cool. Plus one of them adds non-channeled newbie spells, like the lightning one that does insanely massive damage on the first hit in combat, and is then weaker than say Lighting Bolt would be. So basically it just lets you one-hit all those scrubby wolves and poo poo that attack you on the road. Or you can use it while sneaking to one-hit someone.

*in pre-release footage* "Yes this is just one of the puzzles you'll find in the game! See, now you grabbed this claw earlier in the dungeon, and you come to this door, ascribed on it 9 symbols. You have to find out which ones to put in, but how? Well if you look at the claw...." *flips claw over in inventory, crowd is impressed, actually a cool puzzle*

I for one think it's an epic time saver that the claw is quite often sitting directly in front of the door on the corpse of the man who died trying to figure out the puzzle.

My favorite thing about every Bethesda game is that the most challenging + inventive puzzles in the game are in the first 5 dungeons you see and a few spots in the main quest, and then absolutely every other cave/dungeon/castle/whatever is going to be almost totally the same as every other minor one, right down to the enemy placement.

If you choose thalmor start in live another life, the modder adds Thalmor barks to your character which is kinda cool to hear your character yell "Death to all mankind!" when you cave a skeever's brains in.

deadly combat is actually really good. it adds timed blocks and increases damage penetration/stam damage through blocks if you dont use them well, as well as generally increasing the damage and lowering armor across the board. attacks cost a lot more stamina and stamina regenerates faster. blows to the back are very deadly and there is locational damage effects. the end result is that combat is a lot more measured, deadly, and less spammy.

Apocalypse magic is epic. I changed my mind about Midas magic because i hardly ever use any of the spells. Frostfall sounds like it just adds tedium but the coldness survival thing doesn't really seem to get in the way that much. The mod that makes spell particle effects give off lights is sweet, when u can see your hands lit up at night from your fire spells, and fireballs light whole trees on fire for a little bit.

Does anyone know if there's a mod that lets you rescale Daedric weapons, so they don't suck a few levels after you get them. I did the quest that gtives you the glowing sword that explodes undead, and it's equivalent to a glass sword. I don't want to not use it because it looks epic and the enchantment is extremely strong.
