I honestly think there should be a separate thread for modding on the console once Remastered is released, solely because when I was playing on ps3, there was nothing more frustrating than hearing "just use the console to fix it!" Whenever I had a bug.

So basically you need a console in your console? I think you'll have to hire Xzibit.

Since we're talking about Bethesda, you need to mod it to stop the crashes in the first place.

Also people tend to confuse "challenge" and "tedium".

"Let's make it so that you have to straferun around this monster for two a full 120 minutes before it finally deigns to die. There are 50 of them in the first dungeon. Your reward is a supersword that allows you to kill them in only 115 minutes, I know it's a bit OP but then again the quest is over after that anyway."

God forbid you have Windows 10, making that whole section worthless.

No, I'm not bitter that Skyrim SE will be 64-bit but my precious New Vegas never will be, shut up.

Maybe there'll be an OpenFonv in the same way there's an OpenMW? It could even use OpenMW as a starting point, since the FO3/FONV engine is based on the Oblivion engine which is based on the Morrowind engine. So now that OpenMW is very close to feature-completeness, we could imagine people forking it off to make an OpenOB and then people forking that off to make OpenFO3, paralleling the development of the proprietary engine.

Based on their story about how during Oblivion's development they'd get civil wars started by an NPC's desire to spend a few hours raking but another NPC had already grabbed the rake, I figure minimizing the RAI packages for Fallout NPCs was in large part to avoid having to tune and retune and finetune NPC behavior constantly. And in New Vegas, since it was developed by other people, they probably didn't want to bother too much learning how RAI worked so they used it as little as possible.

I think the complex stories were what they wanted RAI to actually do, and the complete clusterfucks nobody would want to have happen to a serious playthrough is what they actually got, so I'll totally buy that they had to nerf RAI to be less of a game-breaker. Can't be fun to have the questgivers all murdered by other NPCs because an entire village decided to annihilate itself over a broomstick dispute.

No, not possible. The OS keeps track of all the memory allocated by an application and forcefully frees all of it when the application stops running, be it through a crash or through normal exit.

If you want a big luxurious castle, yes.

Personally I don't like it because I find it not rugged enough; screenshots like this makes me feel like I'm in a 19th century townhouse instead of a fantasy vikingland castle. But that's just a question of taste, not of quality.

Ordinator has two base perk ranks that increase the effectiveness of your skill by X/X*2.

What a weird formula. Not sure if it prioritize left-to-right or right-to-left, but either way: (X/X)*2 will always be 2, and X/(X*2) will always be 0.5. So what's the point of bringing in X in the first place?

Yesterday was the first time I've tried a real ENB preset rather than just using the game and various lighting mods. Not a fan at all.
I realize that it's a preset and 'o man this one is the good one' is a thing that can be said but it truly does feel like ENB settings are a game of Skyrim photoshop filters that are constantly outrunning the subtle of itself. Instead of a very slight setting that makes the sunshafts visible it's like people crank it up 200% or more just to be able to see it.


To be honest all the talks about ENBs and hires texture packs just remind me of this stupid comic:

Silly question maybe: what's the best way to cut down an enormous inventory?

My game stability has really deteriorated recently. I'm not getting getting CTDs non stop, but much more frequently than initially. I'm worried it's related to my horse's overloaded baggage (feature of convenient horses). There's also ever more noticeable slow down when accessing the inventory.

Should I distribute the contents between containers, sell most of the stuff, delete it via console (don't know how to do that yet)?

Well. First thing first: what stuff do you actually use constantly, or at least frequently? Put it aside, and get rid of the rest.

Now for getting rid of stuff you don't use, ask yourself the question: are you a video game hoarder? If so, then seek therapy buy a house, furnish it, and put everything into containers. Now you've got all your useless junk adventuring mementos of great sentimental value safely squirreled away in a dozen chests and barrels, and you can keep only what you actually need.

If you're not a hoarder, just sell all your adventuring mementos of great sentimental value useless junk to merchants, convert all this baggage into useful septims.

And let your horse rest a bit, the poor beast.

Same, Dawnguard is mostly worth it for the crossbow. I don't care much about playing a vampire, it has always seemed to be too melodramatic and angsty for a proper fantasy hero. (Even when I played V:tM I wanted my characters to be more about being cool and having fun than about either weeping about their lost humanity or relishing in their barbaric monstrosity, which sadly seemed to be the only choices offered by the setting.) I did like puzzling out the Soulcairn, and the vampire lord form was fun for a two minute laugh, but getting back to normal was a no-brainer.

Crossbows are cool, though. Love my crossbows.

I haven't met vampires yet but I've been jumped a time or two by gibbering lunatics. If one lands an attack I am infected with something. Being unwilling to deal with that I've reloaded each time until I can kill it with it attacking me. I'm assuming this is expansion related? I haven't played there expansions, only the base game modded and unmodded around release.

I don't know what mod added them, but they're most probably werewolves in human form, as a throwback to Morrowind+Bloodmoon.

If you play on PC, just open the console and click on one of the things that you wonder what it's from. Its form ID will be displayed. Note the first two character, they are the hex number of the mod it's from, in your load order, knowing that 00 is Skyrim.esm, 01 is Update.esm, 02 to 04 will be the DLC, and 05+ will be mods you added.

The situation of siding with the Empire (collaborationist with the fascist Thalmor whose ultimate aim is the destruction of the world) or siding with the Stormcloak (very fascist themselves) kind of reminds me of the choice people in Eastern Europe during WW2 had to do: side with the Nazis against the Soviets, or side with the Soviets against the Nazis? Both sides are awful. I've never played the Civil War questline because I can't bring myself to choose a side.
