Improving Skyrim / Recommended Mods thread (Mostly about Requiem)

I wasn't aware of Skyrim having sticky cover.

Why are you fags still playing this stupid game?

Unlike you we can't get laid, Crispy.

Please excuse us.

 

[Broseph]

Andy knows. He is a virgin detector.

 

[Andyman Messiah]

I can tell from some of the posts and from seeing quite a few virgins in my time.

I thought Bleakfalls Barrow got hit with the endless Draugr stick by Requiem, but Labyrinthian...cripes. The undead dragon has around 25 of them backing him up, all capable of Shouting, and a small horde of skeletons and two dragon priests. Who are so broken in Requiem it's crazy. At first I kept up a stream of summoned Trolls and Bears and Ghost Warriors and whatnot, then called in Atvir Dres with his personal spell. Then said screw it and used AFT's 'Summon Fucking Everyone' tool to call in my entire clique.

The two Dragon Priests killed all but a handful of them.


Compared to them the named and supposed boss Morokei was annoying but doable. Keep a wall of bodies between you and him, take care of his ghosts and then wail on him when he takes a few seconds to flat-line your minions.

"Putting FFFFFUUUU- back in fun" should be Requiem's motto.

"Putting FFFFFUUUU- back in fun" should be Requiem's motto.

What's really fun is combining Requiem and Dwemer Certified (made by the guy who did Robco Certified for FO3 and New Vegas). After finishing Labyrinthian I finally had the resources and requisite perks in Enchanting and Smithing (which hurt to waste points on considering he's a mage/researcher/Necro focus) to build my first major Dwemer unit, a Combat Sphere. I'd experimented with Spiders but those things are shit.


Combat Sphere Crossbow + Elemental Fury+ Shockburst or Fireburst or Frostburt= Your mechanical minion has his own personal bazooka. I enchanted my first one with EF + FB and took him back to Labyrinthian's area to clear Shalidor's Maze and Lost Valkygg. Skeletons and Draugr hordes flying everywhere! Enchanting its Sphere Blade with EF + the standard non AOE Fire spell made it wreck close quarters too. Can't figure how to enchant its armor though. I can remove it but it doesn't show up in the table lists.


Next time I run into a Dragon Priest road block I'm stock piling materials and burying them in my mechanical miracles.

This mod I just stumbled upon changes some of the auto-accepted quest so that you still have to actively seek out the quest giver as well as gives some options to refuse certain quests:
"The choice is yours"

Also there's a new version of "Better quest objetives" called "Even better quest objectives".

I'd like to thank Muppetpuppet for inspiring me with his mod, Moonpath to Elsweyr. Without him, I never could have done some of the things included in this mod.

I'd also like to thank Elezeid for providing the images I used!

 

[Jaesun]

I assume Loverslab will mod this so both the cabbage and pots are fuckable?

Finally, I see it's about time for a new playthrough, as this was one of the things that always bugged me about Skyrim.

 

[Turisas]

Has someone made a mod compilation like there was for Oblivion (POEE)? The more the better, a massive mishmash of all the shit thrown together would be the best. It's not for me and I'd rather not install the game and spend a day downloading and checking that the pos actually starts up without choking to death.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

The overhaul mods like Requiem, SkyRe, HBE and ERSO add a lot of gameplay changes at once. Check the "gameplay" tab.

[Turisas]

Oh yeah, forgot about that GEMS site, thanks.

 

[Genma:TheDestroyer]

A video of Tropical Skyrim. Rather impressed with the work that got done.

 

[ohWOW]

I wonder where did mammoths go?

 

[Genma:TheDestroyer]

Knowing Skyrim about three hundred feet in the air.


*Crash*

They're back.

 

[DragoFireheart]

Why are you fags still playing this stupid game?

You know that one person that likes the milkshake and fries from Wendy's because they like to dip the fires into the milkshake and think it's good despite both items being relatively shit?

Yeah, that's how I feel about hiking simulators like Skyrim.

 

[Luzur]

well you could always have this mod:

And fuck you Bethesda for not making this.

I don't understand. There are no cloaks in the game by default. Are these just tweaked animations that work for cloaks? How can Bethesda be called out for making animations that don't take into account items that don't exist in their game?

It's for the walking, running animations, the cloak animation is just a plus. You can rotate your char like in gta 4 (almost). So if you run backwards you see the front of your char.

Ah I see now. I dunno, is it that big a problem it's not like that to begin with? Doesn't seem like it's an especially crucial feature, third-person is really only useful for viewing environments while you hike around anyway.
