No, just murder the insane woman when she kidnaps you at the start of the questline

The dramatic stories and questlines in Oblivion and Skyrim are another big part of why essential characters are a thing. There are almost no points in Morrowind where two characters interact with each other, no points where a big villain appears to you and comes up with some convoluted reason you can't kill him (except uh the main bad guy I guess, but that's kind of his thing). If you kill, say, the head of House Telvanni because he's getting in your way, well... that's allowed! You're the new grandmaster. It's not a style that a modern game could really pull off without coming across as weirdly static and wooden, I think. Games now need heavy scripting and detail or they just... don't work, one of the reasons you don't see as many quest mods as you used to. It's unfortunate but there's no going back  Of course this isn't helped by Bethesda being hacks who are determined to undermine everything people like about their games at every opportunity.

prometheusbound2 posted:The three word rebuttal to that is "Fallout:New Vegas." Yeah, good designers can get around it if the entire game is built on it from the ground up. Bethesda have chosen to take a specific route and style where it doesn't work and that's entirely their own fault - just saying there are interesting reasons that lead to it too. Stuff like NPCs in MW never fighting each other without player interference. Radiant AI might not be as cool as they made it out to be but it's still a spanner in the works. I think I covered Morrowind having linear and static quests/dialogue which would be even more jarring and weird in a game with modern production values.

It's still better than vanilla because the vanilla scaling loot is terrible it should absolutely be more modular though, I hate feature creep.

Internet Kraken posted:I really disagree with this. The problem with stuff like Morrowloot is that while its interesting at first, it completely fucks up difficulty. It becomes way to easy to turn yourself into an overpowered death god because you found some absurd piece of gear. Which might seem cool at first but quickly loses its appeal for someone like me that wants combat to stay vaguely interesting. Then if you know about the location of something absurdly strong beforehand, you have to just ignore it otherwise you'll feel obligated to go straight for it. Cause if you're gonna break the game with OP loot eventually, why not just do it at the start? You're not wrong on the first point. On the other hand it's great to organically discover a really challenging area, get through it at a low level by guile and sneakiness and get a powerful item way ahead of schedule. It's one of the most fun things about open world RPGs to me and it's something that's just absent in vanilla game. Like what's the point of exploring and adventuring in vanilla? Everything you find is going to be of a similar quality. If you stumble across a legendary artefact at a lower level you've outright screwed yourself because it's going to be obsolete in a few levels. It's not quite Oblivion but it's very close. There have to be other mods that fix this a bit right

Can't believe I installed 100+ mods at once on a fresh Oldrim install and I'm getting poor performance, how did that happen? Mystery Joking aside I'm assuming it's either conflicting graphics mods or too many scripts running. For the former i guess I just have to disable them a few at a time. Any way to check the latter directly? Lunchmeat Larry fucked around with this message at 11:13 on Feb 19, 2018 |

Yeah, did the usual TES5Edit/LOOT/Wrye Bash dance. I'll post my modlist when I get home, there's probably some outdated stuff and/or fat that can be trimmed VV yeah I think I might bin LotD for now. Seems like a mod to keep for an otherwise minimal setup or for when I finally get SSE.

Managed to get everything behaving itself with a bit of tweaking, mostly ini stuff that I'd forgotten to do through Mod Organizer. Everything's perfect now except my outside LODs are weird and ugly and occasionally, uh, purple triangles. e: ok now it's just distant water that kind of looks like a distractingly ugly pale blue smear but whatever I'm not expecting miracles here Lunchmeat Larry fucked around with this message at 22:18 on Feb 19, 2018 |

What are some fun Ordinator builds? I've mostly played with SPERG before now, usually magic-heavy, so I was thinking sword and board with heavy armour and Thunderchild shouts but at a quick glance the perks don't look too exciting so all of a sudden im thinking of adding some sneaking and ranged abilities and we all know where this is going

I modded my original Skyrim out the rear end a few months ago, played a few hours and promptly got distracted as usual. I wasn't too happy with the performance so I'm considering just getting SE, but use a lot of dumb mods that might not have been ported. If anyone can be bothered having a look through my list, is there anything major here that I won't be able to pick up for the SE? Like, some of it is probably crap and needs unselected anyway, and I'm not going to cry too much if I have to go without whatever Realistic Husky Sounds is, but you know.

Fantastic, thank you!! Really appreciate you taking the time to do that  And yeah I took a "download first, sort out on a second pass" approach, particularly on the content mods, so this will be a good opportunity to do so. Easier question: I assume I'd just have a bad time if I tried to transfer my save? edit: it just... worked. Save transfer just worked. It's fine. everything's fine. the game seems stable. wtf that was the last thing I expected Lunchmeat Larry fucked around with this message at 22:18 on Oct 2, 2018 |

Or a simple way? I'm years or of the loop loop on modding Bethesda games, and I've already got a mod list of about 70ish mods for sounds and textures and weather and crap because I'm playing on VR and want to see how far I can push it... I just want to dismember a dude and then Fusrodah him before he hits the ground to scatter his entrails across a mountainside*, is that too much to ask?

What enemy mods do people use these days? I've been running Revenge of the Enemies but I'm about to retire my character and have kind of had my fill of its fat sacks of HP who constantly killed my heavy armour alteration-buffed Paladin lad with one power attack until like level 40, and looking at reviews I've realised it's not just that I'm bad + running wildcat + refuse to go lower than Adept, it's just badly balanced. Is advanced adversary encounters good??
