I can't find anything useful on google for obvious reasons, but is there a decent mod out there that adds dog people into the game?

Was just chatting with a friend about how Kajits or w/e are cool but a 6ft tall black lab wearing knights armor would be way cooler

No labradors but:
Werewolf people http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/47888/
Other doggy people http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/13561/
Fox people http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/62176/
That guy from Final Fantasy 10 that kinda looks like a dog http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/57861/
And finally Rabbit people http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/37870/

I was impressed that the only about 90% of the mod races in the Nexus were "sexy teenagers" instead of the 98-100% I'd assumed.

Edit: Mother fucker.

Dear thread. After 5 years and almost 1000 hours in Skyrim, I still haven't finished the game (or even the Civil war questline). When the new Whatchamacallit edition comes out, I'm going to do it. I'm going to finish Skyrim.

I call bullshit, I own and have spent hundreds of hours each in Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim and have finished the main quest in zero of them. Fallout: New Vegas is the only Bethesda published game I've ever beaten, and I wouldn't say I've beaten it, just got to the end.

What are some good gimmick builds?

I tried vampire mage and it was ok, but the maintenance for vampirism is obnoxious even with the better vampires mod.

Being a Mage is hilariously broken, though.

They tend to require mods, but I've heard fun things about punch cats in this thread.

Speaking of which has that dialogue replacer for Khajit been ported to SE yet, because I've never used either and that seems like a good combination if I'm not going to be using a lot of new quests and poo poo.

After reading the OP, I guess I'm running Legendary edition even though I'm on Windows 10. What sort of stuff do I need to worry about with the 4GB RAM limit (and only that, my computer can definitely crush Skyrim in general)? This is the first time I've played Skyrim in awhile so I was going to throw in a bunch of stuff like SPERG and maybe other magic mods, an ENB profile, Frostfall, and maybe just more stuff in general for diversity. Especially more enemies.

You'll probably be fine. I ran more mods than I used on a janky Windows 10 laptop (that was only Windows 10 because of the free upgrade), and didn't have enough crashes to worry about it. Don't push it too much on graphical poo poo

I haven't played this game since being disappointed by it at launch, but thought I'd pick it up now that enough years have passed for mods to fix anything I hated. I kinda figured I could pick up the DLC for a game this old on the cheap, but holy poo poo it's $45 total on Steam.

Are those commonly on sale or anything? Frankly, I'm not about to drop $45 on a game I'm gonna have to put together myself; I'll just play NV again.

It'll probably drop during either the Fall sale or the Christmas sale. Special Edition is only 40 and includes all the DLC and looks and runs better. Mods that need SKSE don't work, but most of the others have been ported. I can't remember how much Skyrim was when I bought it during a free weekend, but I think was $15.

I'm running it with Apocalypse and haven't noticed anything bad yet.

Apocalypse and Ordinator are by the same guy and designed to work together, and there's a SPERG patch for Apocalypse, so the SPERG/Ordinator combo should work also if the guy who made it knows his stuff. I can't imagine someone who would go through the effort of merging Sperg and Ordinator not using Apocalypse in their own game also.

Any kind goon could recommend good necromancy mods? I haven't tried skyrim modding since a few years back and looking on the nexus and workshop there is about a dozen of the mods and I expect with greatly varying quality.

Ideal would be something that removes the level cap on the minions to be raised and ideally raises/removes the cap on the number of minions.

Ordinator has a bunch of fun conjuration perks including making permanent skeleton minions, but doesn't abolish the minion cap.

Are there any mods that give innate magic resistance via regular armor? My idea is about half the armor rating would go into physical protection and half would go into magic protection. I want to play a heavy armor wearer who crafts her own armor that can survive pesky mages and dragons without going down the enchanting rabbit hole.

There's a mod that let's you pay other people to craft armor, there might be one that lets you pay other people to enchant it.

I get why people want to turn Skyrim into a survival game, it's got a nice mix of environments, they have a lot of food as consumables, and a wide range of clothing/armor. But it's probably never going to be as good of a survival game as one of the very, very many ones that were meant to be a survival game.

I'm at level 50 on my current SSE playthrough with the sperg port installed and haven't noticed this at all. I'm actually surprised how well it does work.
Even added in the unarmed perks add-on along with a tweaked version of the best friend whistle, both from oldrim, and they work as expected as well.

My laptop is too lovely to run the Special Edition, but my understanding is that most of the broken perks are in the Illusion tree, the ones that involve summoning ghost animals.

Is this for special edition. It's been a few months since I played and haven't kept up the news. Last I remember progress had stalled for the SE SKSE.

Alternatively: Is there a more organic way to get more perk points on leveling up than just converting dragon souls? I love Ordinator, but holy poo poo, do I need more perks unless I hyper specialize.

Skyrim Uncapper let's you edit perks per level in precise detail. You can double or halve perks per level, or some variation therein, change perk gain by level (normal perk for the first ten levels, only 6 perks over the next ten, then 1.5 perks per level after that).

/\ is that easy enough for an idiot to use, because I am bad at computers.

The bounty seems better, so long as I exercise self restraint. I just want to be able to dabble without locking me out of some higher level perks.

It's a simple text file that you edit, google a guide if you want to make other edits, but just for perks it should be very easy to do what you want

This is what I used to understand how it worked, linked to the part about perks

Internet Kraken posted:

In some cases its just because Bethesda doesn't wanna accommodate for writing dialogue for the player's actions. Maven Black-Briar is mentioned constantly in Riften and obviously killing her would change a lot. Even if it changed nothing in the game beyond dialogue that alone would require them to write and record a bunch of new lines for tons of NPCs. So they look at that and just decide to...not bother. It sucks but they figure its not worth doing all that work to accommodate a choice very few players will make (though I think a lot of people would pursue this option if it was available because she's such an awful person).

Game would probably be a lot better if Bethesda was forced to write around every character being a possible kill, but that takes a lot of work.

It's not even because they'd have to write around it, it's because they'd have to get voice actors for it. Making the decision to have every line of dialog voice acted seriously limits what you can do in an RPG in terms of player choice.

I wish Bethesda was less terrified of people breaking their precious ~*narrative*~ and just let you kill anyone and if you gently caress up the quests, welp, that's your fault.

Isn't that how the old Elder Scrolls games used to work?

Yeah, in Morrowind no one was marked essential and if you killed the wrong person you'd get a pop up saying something like "you've unravelled the threads of fate" but you could keep playing, and if you had enough meta knowledge you can still beat the game.

This might be a bit crazy but I think it's probably a good idea when releasing a game with mass market appeal to make it so that you can't accidentally make the game unbeatable. Just a thought.

I think the Morrowind approach is a decent happy medium. Or design your game in such a way that you don't need to put an essential flag on a random racist several people want to kill on principle.

I wonder if it would be possible to make catching a butterfly instead give you a "Butterfly in a Jar" item...

(Never mind that Butterfly Wings of both kinds are some of the most useful alchemy ingredients, so are Luna Moths...)

I would think it'd be super easy to change the name and icon to "X butterfly in a jar" from X butterfly wing, but it'd likely create conflicts with other mods that change alchemy and also if you're using live butterflies in alchemy recipes I'm not sure how your square that with the same problems someone has killing them in game in the first place.

Fake Edit: add an animation where it flies around you after making a potion similar to when Link uses a fairy in Zelda games. Holy poo poo I fixed this non-existent problem but have no ability to implement it.

Idk, legally agreeing that you have no ownership of your mods in an official agreement with Bethesda is probably worth a lot in court.

Until it gets tested in court no one really knows, a bunch of modders start when they're under 18, and you can't enforce illegal clauses in a contract. If I'm not a modder or gamer and don't understand Bethesda's UELA, but am a musician who gives a fan explicit permission to use my song in their mod as long as there's no money involved and I get credit, does Bethesda now own my song?
