THE ELDER SCROLLS V: SKYRIM

Oh I know what you mean, bought the game myself a month or two ago so I could play it again (only owned it for xbox in the past) and I spent two entire days downloading and setting up mods :stuck_out_tongue:

@Danacscott you can go into 3rd person by using your scrollwheel. Not sure if there’s a button for it on controller.

Herm… My mouse is the done, so I’ve only got the trackpad on the laptop atm. There’s likely a way to scroll with it, just got to figure out how, lol. When I do, will give it a try. Cheers. ^^

Ah, apparently pressing “F” will make you go third person as well, or pressing the right thumbstick on controller.

Oh btw, here’s a showcase of the 3rd person camera mod and dark souls combat like mods I mentioned before. It will probably feel better for the controller as well.

Links are in the description of the video. :smiley:

Yup. I saw came across too, just wanted to get my toes in the water before installing too many things. If this is the same, you need another mod besides SkyUI. Depending on how gameplay feels, this is very likely the next mod. :slight_smile: Thanks mein Sloth. :sunny:

@Danacscott Would you like me to link my favorite Elder Scrolls lore YouTube channel? :grin:

Ok, I think the best channel is:

With honorary mentions going to:

And:

This is also very helpful for naming an Elder Scrolls character.

A Skyrim thread without this video in it is heresy. :rofl:

This one is also a necessary inclusion:

Wow. That was so calming and beautiful. Thank for helping us prevent the ‘heresy’, :slight_smile:

There is a collector’s guilt bubble above my head right now. Okay! As a summoner, likely I’d do no smithing (methinks) so that’s a lot of stuff not to pick up right there. Meep!

(This is why I’m also ignoring to temptation to try Thief - I’d pick up everything!) :stuck_out_tongue:

Hey guys! The other day my bestie says: I think I have a copy of Skyrim you know. Hm.

So it turns out she’d bought this: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Legendary Edition on my Fanatical account. O_O

Likely I gifted it to her already, but maybe I can play it via her Steam account (on my own compy) while she’s playing Sims 4? (horns)

What do you think? Worth it?

I heard that we must post all of Skyrim videos on the internet over here on this post? Is that correct? :smirk:

@Enki Why do people roast that actor so much, lol

Yes that is correct my fine sloth friend or at least until you take an arrow to the knee then your posts are no longer valid here. :smirk:

Ha ha… An arrow to the knee - frequent illness in Skyrim.

I just watched my bestie play Skyrim on her new compy (she got it from a dude at work - really new, but he found something shinier, heh). Point though, she just had to kill the prettiest Blood dragon! He was large with a point on his tail and an adorbs crest on his head. :heart:

Now I’m having mixed feelings… I’d rather charm a dragon than kill it. :crying_cat_face:

PS: Always knew I’d have to duel dragons, but I didn’t expect it to hit me right in the feels. >.<

Okay I been digging through my memory and some mods that I would deem essential for you:

Extend your armory, nothing feels off or OP, these just add more diverse weapons and armor.

Cause there’s way too little foliage in vanilla skyrim

I don’t know where the old patches went, you might have to look around for them yourself if you don’t have the legendary edition/compatibility issues, there def. used to be the “same” huge bug fix-filled-mod for the base edition:

More bug stuff - a whole post full with links:

You said your laptop isn’t that strong, so I’ll refrain from linking the dozen texture mods and the INSANE lighting improving mod I used (made snowstorms a really dark hell at night without a torch haha), just this one does improve the night a ton imo and it shouldn’t be a big performance hit:

That’s a lot of source material! @anon63424221, so this isn’t related to the SE or Legendary Editions?

some is unfortunately, used to be for regular skyrim as well, idk if they still have those old files in their achives, I really just dug through some stuff quickly, it usually says quite prominently for which version exactly it is :slight_smile:
