Noblesse Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 So I'm absolutely obsessed with Skyrim. I go through fits where I can't play it because of it's instability (because I just can't stop modding it..) and times like right now where I actually don't have a computer where I can enjoy it to it's maximum potential (because I sold it x.x) but I really can't get enough of this game. I'm not sure why but I'm totally wrapped by the lore of the Elder Scrolls, but by Skyrim more than any other. Link to post Share on other sites
Tainted Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Skyrim is rather awesome, my last character was a Thalmar rebel, still haven't finished that playthrough. I haven't played modded mind, there is already far too much stuff to distract me without adding in more! Link to post Share on other sites
Starscream Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Ah, yeah. Skyrim is too great to let it go. I've been playing the Elder Scrolls series since 2009, starting with Oblivion, and that's still my favorite. But, Skyrim has taken a hold of my life ever since it came out 6 years ago. Even to this day I still play it, but as of now Fallout 4 is taking it's place. There is no way I would enjoy playing Skyrim if it weren't loaded with mods these days. In the beginning an un-modded Skyrim was fun, but after playing so many times, mods are very much a requirement in order to keep my interest. I'm still waiting for the SKSE64 to come out for the Special Edition version, because there are mods that require it that I miss terribly. I usually end up playing a sneaky character, but I've gone through all play-styles, only to come back to sneaky-assassin-thief-archer. Link to post Share on other sites
Ricki Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I downloaded Skyrim and always meant to play it... but I've never got round to it... Link to post Share on other sites

And Starscream, if you haven't tried it yet give Morrowind a go, graphically it will be painful and the levelling system can be frustrating but it is certainly the best of the series so far. (Or try to find the Oblivion mod that basically recreates Morrowind with Oblivion graphics...) Link to post Share on other sites
Kimmie. Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I havent played Skyrim in years and it was a bit moded to say the least. Spoiler So if i would play it again i would probably need to start a new character. I can't find the around 50+ mods that i used. Link to post Share on other sites
RK800 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I have skyrim and while I am fond of it I will always prefer the Fallout series; I love me some post-apocalyptic mods. Link to post Share on other sites

(Or try to find the Oblivion mod that basically recreates Morrowind with Oblivion graphics...) Yeah, I've also played Morrowind. I never completed it though. I was nearing the end I think. It was somewhere around "Ghostgate". All these new games that came out really make it difficult to enjoy the crappy graphics of the old games, even though the lore behind them is always superior.

Ricki Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Im so tempted, especially when I see things like @Kimmie.'s mods But I'm scared of how much time it will take up Link to post Share on other sites
Scott1989 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Remember playing the standard edition, I modded it so much I ended up with night skies like this: Just started a Nord Mage play-though on the special edition, which I found out I got for free due to having the legendary edition on PC ages ago. Remember my first playthrough on the 360. "Oh I got a wee side quest, I'll do that on my way to progressing the main quest." at end of side quest "That was cool, and I got 3 more side quests, I'll do those before progressing the main quest too. 500 odd side quests, I'm leader of every guild and college, yet done nothing about the dragons. x1000 when I played the PC version and added mods to it which added even more side quests.

I tried the orignal ones, and I jsut couldn't get into them, but heard 3 (which I have the GOTY edition for but yet to play) is a good starting point. May give it a try soon. Any good mod suggestions for it? Link to post Share on other sites
sculapius Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Skyrim is a good video game. I have so many mods that it actually hits the hard limit for mods, because you can only have up to 255 I think data packs installed. So yeah. A bit obsessed Link to post Share on other sites

In graphics it's a bit lacking so I'd recommend NMCs texture pack and Fallout 3 redesigned which helps make it a little easier on the eyes. From there it's mostly personal preference, Nexus has a ton for it. Link to post Share on other sites
carbomb Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Well now I have to start up a third Skyrim playthrough. I've barely ever touched mods, any suggestions from y'all? Link to post Share on other sites

Requiem for hardcore mode, Perkus Maximus for less hardcore but different, or Skyrim Perk Enhancements and Rebalanced Gameplay for a vanilla++ experience. Pick one. Link to post Share on other sites

I tend to average around 200 mods when I play Needless to say constantly changing the mods causes some serious stability issues, but the game is so great with mods, one of my favorites being Tropical Skyrim. It's also nice being able to use ENB's. Typical game-play: Link to post Share on other sites
clementime Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Skyrim is a great game where you are free to create your own story in a magical universe. That is what makes it its strength. Link to post Share on other sites
