Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

[Paelos]

I had to reload cities several times because merchant NPCs tried to attack vampires, and got their asses kicked.

[Nayr]

So Blaise brought home a baby Mudcrab and wanted to keep it as a pet. I let him.

It'll probably either die and become dinner, or it'll pinch him and he'll learn his lesson. :D

/great parenting

[Merusk]

Now that pet fox doesn't look so terrible.

Oh, you can give the boys wooden swords but not the girls.  Vice-versa for Dolls.  Not sexist at all.

[Rasix]

I gave my daughter a sword. Later a nice dagger.

[Merusk]

Weird. Mine took a *real* dagger but I couldn't get the sword to show-up on the 'give' list at all. 

I was happier giving her a real dagger to deal with that obnoxious child who's not afraid of people.  Fear my daughter, bitch!

[Hawkbit]

I get my daughter a cold enchanted wooded sword that she used to accidentally kill her pet fox.  Poor thing was in there for days, and every time I'd go to move it she would tell me to leave her things alone.  Creepy!

Bethesda needs to add a decomposition timeframe for inside houses.

[K9]

That wouldn't go down well with the people who use their houses to hoard cabbages though.

Add an exclusion for items inside of containers. So unless they leave a thousand cabbages laying around, they have nothing to fear.

[Soulflame]

Next up on Hoarders:  Skyrim.  How many cabbages are too many?

[Paelos]

I should take a picture of my book closet. It's in piles.

googling skyrim and cabbages suggest that there's no real limit on how much love one person can hold for cabbages. People seem fascinated by them.

[HaemishM]

What is this... I don't even... 

[Bunk]

I prefer the art of rolling cheese down hills in Skyrim.

[Nayr]

Well I got Dawnguard.

Wonder if they'll care that I'm a werewolf. lol

[Teleku]

Its a known fact that Werewolves and Vampires hate each other, so its ok.

[Nayr]

I have to admit, for a vampire, Serana is cute.

I heard she turns out a marriage proposal, so meh.

[Teleku]

Theres a mod for that.   

[Nayr]

Well 1.9 update is out.

Gonna miss the Oghma Infinium glitch.

[Surlyboi]

I got all the DLCs and started playing this again. There're a shitton of mods I've added, but it's definitely fun again.

[Paelos]

Mods list plz!

[Lucas]

I know, I know: while playing Skyrim, you've always asked yourselves "why can't I play as a...."

Now you can! 

[HaemishM]

[Surlyboi]

My mods:

Head tracker: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/23600 Because having characters looking at the people that are talking to them is nice. Even if they do sometimes focus on random corpses.
Get Snowy: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/19660 Snow sticks to you. Great for immersion.
Wet and Cold: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/27563 Because people reacting to the weather is also good for immersion. (Drip effects too)
Locational damage: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/12615 Make those headshots count.
XP 32's Maximum Skeleton: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/26800 Allows you to modify the way your character stows their gear.
Dual sheath plus shields on back http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/17746 that thing I said about carrying gear differently? Yeah.
A few armor mods for taste and all the HD texture packs to make it pretty.

One advice: if you ever felt somewhat "intimidated" by the potential amount of fiddling required for mod installation, just follow these tutorials when you have some spare time. Simple and straightforward (BOSS it's a VERY important tool when you have a lot of mods installed):

Have fun :D

[Surlyboi]

If you're running off Steam, half of that shit's in the workshop too which makes it even easier.

[Rasix]

Any of those mods fix my broken house from Hearthfire?  

Outside of some needed bugfixes, I had no real desire to mod Skyrim.  Then again, the only mod I ever installed in Morrowind was to get rid of Cliff Racers and Oblivion was played vanilla.

Although, if I do play again, a UI mod is a bit tempting.  The whole favroites system and managing your magic was a bit of a pain.

[Merusk]

My game appears to be corrupted as it crashes like a motherfucker every time I try to leave High Hrothgar.  I'd gone back after beating the big-baddie to chase down some more words of power but I guess that dream is dead now.  Too bad, I wanted to finish Dawnguard.

Don't know about Heartire, but there is a series of (ongoing) unofficial patches that are aimed to fix the remaining bugs in Skyrim...Often resulting in adding more (also, the beneficial effects of some of that fixing might require the start of a new game) :P

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/19 (if you scroll down a bit you can find the links to the other unofficial patches, "complementary mods" section)

And yes, UI mods are a good way to enter the modding addiction arena. But hey, if you are tempted to have another playthrough, at least have a look at the "Live another life" mod (I put it in the "Gameplay" category). Basically bug-free, AFAIK.

[Ingmar]

The only mods I run in Skyrim are a few bugfix ones for companions and such. Oblivion needed a lot of modding, Skyrim, not so much. I've tried a couple of the supposedly improved texture mods and city revision things and such, and honestly, I think they tend to be uglier than the base game.

I agree: infact, within two months  after the release of Skyrim there were city-specific and other major retexturing projects that I personally found too "bulky". The ones I posted are aimed at "refining" the vanilla appearance, while retaining the original look.

[Merusk]

Only mods I had were a few appearance ones because Dragonbone armor looks goofy and the mining mod to let you smelt down crappy gear & random items.  Because mining/ rummaging for shit to do blacksmithing is MADDENING.

I'm tempted to get some of the chainmail bikini and crazy armor textures for the next run-through, because the armor is all pretty uninspiring for an Epic RPG.

[Rasix]

Because mining/ rummaging for shit to do blacksmithing is MADDENING.

Yes, yes it is.  Helps if you just visit every blacksmith when you're doing stuff and remember to buy all of their iron/other ore.  But, even doing that, I spent a frightening amount of time just going from place to place buying ore.

I did a lot of shit in Skyrim that' I'd normally associate with crazy ass MMO "I wouldn't do this in a single player game!"  behavior.

That way madness lies.
