Is there a mod (or an .ini tweak, I don't care) that removes all the motion blur/depth of field/etc. nonsense? I already miss fxaa post process injector.

From what I remember reading on their announcement, there will be an in-depth virtual directory mode and such implemented, but they'll also be keeping a simple mode for the usual types who frequent :nexus:.

So I mentioned it before but never got a reply. Anyone have a fix for the old "vampire faces are beyond hosed up and look like someone held their face in a oven" bug? It's an old vanilla bug from Skyrim that never got fixed outside of mods. Except I can't find any now.

It's something to do with loading conflicting tint data when an actor changes race or something (which is how vampires are implemented). I know if you have dawnguard and turn into the giant bat monster, it'll be fixed when you turn back.

It helps that we don't really have the accumulated cruft of mods that all do a variation on the same thing that we have with Oldrim, right now we just have the mods with people crazy enough to get them up and running in the first week.

Ah, I forgot it used SKSE. Well, at least they said they're working on that. Too bad about the SkyUI guy not wanting to bother porting that. Playing with default UI is aggravating (Yes, game, I wanted to close the menu instead of switching tabs.).

Wow, ReShade is really user friendly. Like, why aren't all games just doing this kind of instant feedback on their own. You just point their setup program at the game .exe and download a bunch of toggle-able effects, which you can apply in game in real time.

I haven't played Skyrim in a long time and the new Special Edition thingy has brought me back in. Just to make sure I'm understanding it all correctly though, skyrim mods don't work natively? What is involved in bringing them over? I know mods that use SKSE won't work for the time being.

Mostly converting old data formats to new ones, there's a new compression/header algorithm for BSAs and only dds textures work now. I've installed a lot of Oldrim mods that work just fine, you just need to check to make sure there's nothing that needs doing.

Is SPERG, or a good alternative, available for Skyrim Special Edition yet? I figured I'd asked on the off-chance that the answer is 'yes'.

SPERG needs skse to be updated, and then it needs to be updated for sse which is not guaranteed. Ordinator is an all right substitute for now.

Any suggestions on an ENB that will play nice with Climates of Tamriel + ELX? Game looks nice already, but I'm looking for just a bit more "oomph" and I know my computer can hack it.
As an aside, I'm playing with Frostfall and Campfire for the first time and I'm kind of blown away by how well integrated and fun-not-brutally-punitive it is. Who knew survival mods could be... good?

Use reshade 3 and tune everything yourself, it's very easy. Just download their exec and point it at Skyrim.

I'm having constant CTDs in Karthspire. Doesn't crash when I turn off mods, but I haven't tested extensively because of \~*SPOILERS*~/. Before I go on a wild goose chase, any known problem mods associated with that area?

The one thing I suspect is a massive inventory stored up in my horse via Convenient Horses, but disabling CH didn't fix the problem.

Do a binary test. Turn off half your mods and see if that fixes it, then the other half. Then half of the positive result, and so on. That should narrow it down pretty quick.

I found my way there and it was already the default program for opening .nxm files. I tried redoing it just to be sure. Nope, Mod Organizer always intercepts the download. I'm not sure what to do now.

You're clicking "download with manager", right? It's not intercepting the file, it's intercepting the link type. You can probably uninstall MO then NMM, then reinstall NMM to get the association set correctly again.

Also that reminds me how much it sucks that they didn't do anything interesting with the Dunmer ghetto in Windhelm.

Like always, the towns are too small to do anything at all with any of them. Solitude is the bustling capital, Whiterun is a tiered mountain metropolis that the whole central plain can see.

But that doesn't come across in a town with like 50 people. Novigrad, these aint.

GunnerJ posted:

idk if the Stormcloaks really count as an insurgency. They have the backing of actual governments with regular military forces and bases.

They absolutely count as an insurgency. An insurgency is any independent body that seeks, as its primary goal, recognition by the populace as the legitimate government, usually by a combination of disruption, military action, covert action, and political action. If the Stormcloaks can win their military victory against the Empire, they will attain that legitimacy -- however thin it may be.

Conversely, the Empire can defeat the insurgency by addressing the root causes of it (rebellious local leaders, a charismatic figurehead, and the existence of organized combat groups among them.) They are helped in this regard by not being a truly foreign power.

During the time period of the game's story, the Stormcloaks are shifting from their initial political action into military action, and the Empire is responding with targeted military strikes combined with a broad campaign against the insurgency's support centers. Both powers put a great deal of effort into wooing or the local leaders or replacing them with more loyal members of the populace, since they can't really say they've won until all the Jarls are behind them.

e: \/That's good to recognize, but compare them to the Communist Chinese, themselves a successful insurgency. Very similar timeline.

The Elves, especially the Thalmor (who are the nazis of the Altmer) have a tremendous bug up their collective asses about Talos being a god. They know he's a god and it pisses them the hell off, because they all believe they're supposed to be gods and got cheated out of it by Lorkhan (who men call Shor, or Shezzar) when he tricked the other gods into creating the world.

Yeah I love me some Kirkbride but not past the point where everyone dies but his beloved dunmer, numidium comes back (again) to destroy the world, and vivec and friends return to be the heroes because why not. Smack of favouritism. It's just as well c0da is all wrapped up inn the message that there are infinite realities/dreams, and this one is his.

Kirkbride likes the Dunmer because they're elves who "get it" about what Nirn is for. It's not supposed to be a prison, and the elves' gods are just as stupid about it as they are, so much that the Daedra laugh at them about it and occasionally rip off their divine flesh and impersonate them.

I just wish the cool stuff could come across when you go talking to people in the game rather than being buried in a book no one will see. I want more of the Altmer legion officer who hates the Thalmor because the loving nazis killed his entire extended family in a terror attack.

That's just it tho Thalmor are stronger with a divided enemy. Ulfric is not going to be able to protect Skyrim from them if the entire Empire (which includes Skyrim) could not.
Does Ulfric have ~the voice~ because they start off by saying he shouted the high king apart but did he really?

Ulfric trained to be one of the Greybeards when he was younger, but left to go be a soldier/nobleman. He basically murdered the high king, who was barely old enough to rule and didn't have Ulfric's experience or power, and probably would have joined him anyways because he was a huge fan of Ulfric's.

Creation Club is just a "premium currency"/microtransaction based store for the sort of DLC they already did, except they think they can for-real professionals to submit serious work for it.

What will actually happen is their signal to noise ratio will be abysmal and any hope of recruiting actual talent will be buried under a tide of :nexus: while the same people who did impressive mods will stay in their established hugboxes.

TES was never known for good writing. On the other hand, Witcher games are based on some very well written books. Most of the characters are already well-characterized in the books.

Morrowind absolutely had good writing (and bad, but plenty of good) they just dumped it all when they decided literally everything must be voice acted.
