[ALL] Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

[Bomberooski]

Just got through the intro dungeon with my babe of a Nord

Morrowind mod hopefully by the end of the year

If you're still looking for a controller option and don't want to buy a wired controller, I bought a little $10 wireless PC adapter on Amazon. Works perfect. Just have to sync the adapter and the controller together. No drivers or anything need to be installed.

On my 4th playthrough right now. Love this game so much. I wish I could play it on PC.

Is making a character that is simply based on magicka impossible?

 

[Maynard]

no way....i did. full blown mage and kicked some major ass. the combat in this game is suspect imo....but playing as a mage allows ranged combat...plus you can conjur minions to fight by your side. good times.

Started a Khajit that I wanted to turn into a Bandit/Mage.

Sneaking around, shooting arrows, zappin' dudes with lightning bolts.

NOPE.

Went towards Winterhold, found a crazy dude that wanted to inscribe some cube and set me off on an underground adventure.

...

After murdering a battalion of Falmer, their thralls, Dwemer Robots, Cave Spiders, etc... I found my quarry:

One Cube, now inscribed.

And one ELDER FUCKING SCROLL.

...

I think I beat the game and I didn't even go to Whiterun officially yet.

...

The rest of this game is gonna be AWESOME.

just finished the civil war quest line. it took me all dam day. like 6-8 hours of game time. that was one story i never did on my 360 play though. i chose the empire since i am a dark elf and the stormcloaks are racist pricks against my people. A lot of lengthy battles going on there. And it was a great story line

So after "winning" the game, I started to wonder what else there was to do...

-After getting my hands on an Elder Scroll, I was privy to seeing an old man turned into a pile of salt.

I now own a book that is basically the Necronomicon, minus the whole unleashing of unholy terror upon the world.

-Also, I freed a village from the influence of a dream-eating demon.

Had the option of keeping the source of its power on my mantle (and a trophy opportunity but nobody cares) in exchange for betraying a reformed former priest of said demon but...

:kanye:

...gotta play the hero.

-On top of that? I retrieved the helm of an long-dead Jarl that would give its owner more stake in any political gathering.

Largely a bullshit quest BUT in order to get it, I had to infiltrate the lair of a necromancer that was killing/resurrecting local townsfolk for his own harem.

I'm not one to judge but I did what had to be done and now I have a set of Murder Swords, some sweet armor and a collection of Crazy Person notes to sell.

I did all that in pursuit of gold to spend on the deed for the home you get in Whiterun (Breezehome).

5000 sheckels is hard to come by when nobody pays you in money but gives you the shit they hoarde in the back of their garages for decades.

I have over a dozen games I should be checking out that I've downloaded from PS+ for free and yet I still find myself popping in Skyrim instead. :shifty:

Nope, Conjuration + Illusion + Destruction.

is dawngaurd or dragonborn worth the money? if you could only pick one which would it be?

I heard they are both pretty good.

Dragonborn is better than Dawnguard. Both are worth the money.

i think the vilja mod is fucking with my game. i been getting these random crashes which i hear have something to do with some conflict with the followers. she is a fucking pain in the ass anyways. I just left her at my house in Windhelm she looks hot as fuck in forsworn armor though. I will take a pic later tonight.

the concept of the mod is great, but it just doesnt work right. anytime you talk with her to get to the extra storage she has or change her outfits you end up going 3-5 sub dialogs deep and you always have to go back to the beginnning to do shit. its a very cumbersome and tedious process to manage her.

But some things about her are cool like being her follower or having her clean my house or do my shopping. Shit like that.

I also built my first house from hearthfire. Its a short walk north of Whiterun just past the giant camp...yeah, giants and mammoths are my neighbors. i killed those fuckers.

Finally getting over this cold so i was able to play for 4 hours last night. cant wait to play again tonight

Ignore my post in the Arcade Random Thoughts...


What mod lets you build your own house?

 

[Maynard]

the mod is simply titled, build your own home
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/18480/?

i built that home. it take alot longer to build cause you really have to put in time to find the various supplies you need. makes it more rewarding.

Hearthfire DLC allows 3 homes to be built. I built one. Its huge compared to the mod. its also alot easier to build. supplies are more accessible.

I dl this girls of skyrim mod which adds 4 female followers. I took the mage, the archer with me. and i still have lydia. I left my Azura mage follower and vilja at my house in windhelm. the Vilja mod allows you to have your followers stay with Vilja to keep her company.

had alot of trouble sunday with my game crashing. everytime i though i had it fixed, it would happen again. i ended up having to deactivate all my mods and the game itself. then reinstall the game and its updates, then reinstall all the mods. only took about 30 minutes.

the problem with using so many mods is when you activate then deactivate you end up having left over info from the scripts. my game ended up dragging ass and having all sorts of issues because of this. i have it running smoothly again and last night i used the TESV5 cleaning tool to clean out my skyrim files as a precaution.

I installed this skyrim performance monitor which works like any GPU monitor. But this is specifically to run skyrim. I found out that Skyrim has a 3.1gb RAM cap and if you hit that your game crashes. Bethesda says this is based on the 32x limitations and they dont plan to fix it. It really only effects mod use. My game was topping out around 2.5 gb of ram and I run about 50 mods...so the average person should be ok.

Anyways, loving the game and really having fun with it on the PC. Added in Helgen Reborn which adds a full story to that city. I also still have to run through Falskaar.
I phased out my girls of skyrim followers cause I know there is some glitches with add on followers. I made them stewards of my hearthfire houses.

I only keep Vilja around because she has extra storage bags. these are very helpful when I am out on quests. But still, she is an add on follower and it gives me trouble from time to time. I will end up having her stay at a house too. I opened up 2 new followers last night that will fit in real nice with Lydia. I will have 2 tanks, one 2 handed and the other 1 handed with shield, then I will have an archer. Plus me as a mage...although i been moving into more one handed and archer kills.

Your screenshots are so so sweet Maynard. I'll be back in Skyrim after South Park.
