Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

[Surlyboi]

Oh man.  I am both horrified and intrigued.

Meanwhile, I'm just horrified. 

Be afraid...

[koro]

As long as it's not super overboard, it actually sounds kind of neat to me, and I'm not usually one for that kind of thing.

This sounds nice...The Dovahtracker!  (basically, an "Armory" application for the game, currently in alpha)

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/news/315/

is a modification by Tytanis for Skyrim that enables you to track and share your characters in real-time. Every single detail about your character is tracked, from items to stats and everything in between. It can even track your mods, making it extremely easy to share your mod list with people without having to do anything at all.

The framework is portable enough to work with every Bethesda title. Expect trackers for Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas in the near future. Other games will be supported as well.

The tracker is currently in Alpha stage, and the available features are as follows:
Game Stats Tracking
Equipment Tracking
Spells Tracking
Skills Tracking
Quests Tracking
Inventory Tracking
Position Tracking
Player Cards for Forums



In the future, these features will be available:
Custom Avatars/Based on Facegen.
Screenshot Gallery
Ratings
Character Titles
Guild System
Leaderboards - Will require anti-cheat.
Item Auctions - Will require anti-cheat.
Character Journals
MCM Support/Configuration
Achievements
Map - Your current location, all character locations
All-around database of items, npcs, spells, etc
Character Backups/Snapshots - Have your own .ess/mods/.inis/complete .bat backups all in one area.
Battle Area - Pit your characters against others and see who will dominate (on the site and possibly in-game in the future)!

Meh, the game is way too easy even without cheating, if you take all the professions you can make god level gear and run around one shotting everything.  I don't really see the point of a leader board system in a game where I can chop off the last boss's head in one swing.

I've added a bunch of mods that actually up the difficulty. Dragon priests are a bitch and a half.

[Ruvaldt]

They also added a Legendary difficulty level recently, along with an option to reset skills to 15 once they get to 100 so you can keep leveling.  I haven't tried any of that stuff though.

This mod adds teh pretty to Skyrim book covers and jackets (there was a very similar and great one for Oblivion too):

Is this an official thing?

Yes, introduced in the latest (1.9) patch:

I just started playing this for the first time ever this week and I've gotta say its not really working for me. I dislike most of the npc's, I don't get why they let me pick any old starting race when I'm instantly the nord jesus dragonborn guy, keep feeling like I should go back, make a Nord/Norse guy then join the rebellion and the game would all fall into place. I keep being forced to do stupid jobs for people I don't want to work for. When I'm not doing that I'm usually in a cave killing spiders or necromancers and stealing their books.

Overall it feels like I'm playing half the game picking shit up or selling shit, so much time spent in inventory menus. I may just stop searching every fucking urn and bookshelf.

The game is gorgeous and the world is pretty cool and icey and barren and whatnot and I like the voice stuff, it sounds cool and the dragon fights are nice. But fuck all of the humans and fuck all of the quests I didn't mind selling that one chick to assassins and I didn't mean knocking out the one guy for being a douche but the rest of them have mainly been obnoxious. I'm trying to come up with a satisfying way to immerse myself in my PC but I don't really have it yet. Should I be expecting things to pick up once the story gets rolling? Any areas to make a point of going to because they are cool and will give me reason to do stuff in the game or areas to avoid because they are hella boring?

[Surlyboi]

The main story bored the shit out of me too. Hence, the Jedi thing.

[schild]

i, uh, wat

[Lucas]

Good point. 

[Hoax]

pm sent, clearly I need a list of rk47 approved mods to salvage this game.

Yeah...Admittedly, that looks a tad more interesting than arranging a bookshelf or adjusting picklock settings...

[Rendakor]

The various guild questlines are all pretty good, I liked the Dark Brotherhood a lot.

Really??

I post the nude mod that's used for the majority of clothing mods and get ridiculed, where RK47 is encouraged to share the mod that's the origin of sexy outfits ?? I don't even know what to say about Lucas OMGPervert mods.


Like I said back then, it was less the mod than it was WHO posted it.

I hope you are all proud of yourselves.

[Lucas]

Personally, I didn't follow the topic when you were "ridiculed" for that particular mod but...Regarding my above message, I haven't implied anything by posting those two mods: it was just to follow along the lines of what RK posted, with no seriousness involved,or rather, just to show one more time with Bethesda games what the modders' pervertion/imagination/frustrated puberty can produce and how many players are interested in that, judging by the downloads. Let's not take everything so seriously :)

[Lakov_Sanite]

Actually....you can get the sexy body mod without getting the full nude mod.  I just found it hard to explain to my girlfriend why men got to keep their boxers and women didn't when I looted them.

[Stormwaltz]

If it makes you feel any better, Tao, I was making this kind of face when I saw the Tera armor picture. It's pretty much assured that I will never play Tera.

The only Skyrim clothes mod I use is Immersive Armors. I do use a few hair mods, but no body mods.

Yeah, this.

Immersive armors you say? (Googles that...)
Oh, I'm feeling immersed alright.

[Venkman]

I call foul. That is not nearly skimpy enough to be worth calling "skimpy"

[Surlyboi]

Hence, "skimpiest". She's a jedi, not a h00r.

Pretty sure belly button chain puts her in a contender spot.

RK47's world really is a better place to live than the one I currently reside.
