I'm starting to dig TK Dodge. Since I'll essentially be a pure mage in my next serious playthrough (as in, no weapons because why would I use one if I can simply get Intuitive Magic on Ordinator, who makes novice and apprentice spells free to cast?), that's going to be a must. Also, the "no weapons" clause is once I get to a point where I can simply use spells in abundance and have mastered dodging. Maybe I'll make the Dark Brotherhood questline the point of no return. |

I am the same way. I have no desire to play SSE at all. Most of the graphical improvements are things I do not like, such as the Depth of Field. If I want my screen to look blurry I'll rub vaseline all over it myself! The godray effects are nice, but it comes at the cost of there being a slight haze over everything. And the HDR effects cannot be disabled, which drives me crazy everytime I go from looking at a light source to a darker area, and I cannot see anything until the game decides to let me. It is supposed to mimic how your eyes adjust to changing levels of brightness. But there is no reason at all to do that in a game, because your eyes adjust to the changing levels of brightness all on their own when you are looking at the monitor! I was able to disable most of it in Fallout 4, but not all of it. Anyway, enough ranting. I too will stick with the original game. I have never had any major issues with it, even with 200 active mods. Edited by SubRosa, May 3 2017, 05:52 PM.

So in getting back some of my mods so that I can play the way I want.. I found that a few are no longer available or not in the same place... "The Ruffled Feather".. isn't under it's own name any more, but part of SMIM's files.. So I downloaded that and STEP... and... ack, nasty shadow issues.. and then I had to tweak the ini files.. and I never did get it right.. so I had to delete those and "update" from steam... crap... I got just TRF back and deleted the rest.. so that was good... but in the mean time.. SAM is not working right.. or I don't have something.. arm's are missing... you can "see through" all the men and armor.. the Men were missing period.. crap.. so I decided to just load SOS and see if I had better luck there ..for now.. I do, but.. still have some nappy shadows, not as bad thankfully, but still. well I'm going to put a short vid in the short video's thread.. you can see the shadows.. btw the spell it's showing is... hilarious.. and as it happens, the death of my character.. but as she's just "testing" it doesn't count.... |

Areial, that sounds like mesh/texture paths being wrong. |

Yeah I figured, but.. I'll have to redownload SAM's textures or core.. or it may be something else. Path probably, but soon as I went back to vanilla male, it's fine, the SOS I downloaded is fine.. Path or missing, I need to download it 1st and find out if that is the issue and I figured I would just try SOS for the moment.. if it's not missing textures, then I will try to find the pathing issue... I happen to like SAM's ability to have a really thin or a he-man hulk type, but I need it for SR and Bishop has his own body, it just need's SOS or SAM for the animations... and NO I'm not talking about the sex, but the other animations, dancing is the big one... Waiting on the vid to upload still.... edit.. got it up... Edited by Areial, Jun 25 2017, 12:04 AM.

Well, after the Dev Team came out with a new version, and a patch for the 1.1 version, Beyond Skyrim: Bruma is never going to leave my load order. I installed the patch last night, but was too beat to play, but today? About 5&1/2 hours, and not a single ctd, broken quest (so far) or any other problems. I'm not going to hold my breath that it's flawless, but it's damn good! And yeah, the nostalgia factor comes into play, but it's still different, a perfect blend of old and new. :) |

Just finished a run of Gray Cowl (inside a playthrough of LotD). So yeah, the whole mod is SOOOOO much fun! But this time what I noticed most was the music. It's perfect for the mod, the areas where you play - it takes a really good author to get the music just right. One of the things that bothers me the most with GCoN is the voice-acting. MannyGT is Italian. He did pretty well overall with the VA - but there are just some glaring "jerk you out of the feeling" voice actors. It is what it is - I'm pretty sure he's not going to redo a whole lot of the mod now. Regardless, I can't do a playthrough now without this mod, and LotD. |

I want to try them all.. adventurer.. no write up.... maybe a blerb here and there, but mostly pictures.. I still want to finish Asherea and Tsurista.. Tsuri is done on the play through side, it's a matter of writing, which I haven't had the time to really do... not in the way I want. My next character will just be for fun. |

Yeah, I think you need a "fun run" - serious. Maybe this fall and winter will work better for you for writing. |

Yeah... for now anyway, I would like to stick to writing my "outside" stories and have Skyrim just be fun.. Now if on the really outer chance that my book takes off ( which is about as likely as winning the lottery) then I might be able to not work at an outside job and write both.. but as I said.. not really likely. |

Don't sell yourself short. And don't.... discount the power of self-publishing. |

I will try very hard not to, I do however want to go for realistic... hope for the best, plan for the worst. For me the ability to write and do my other crafting would be a dream. I'm pretty sure that it would sell within a certain genre.. but main stream? Now that I am not sure about. |

Well.... I know I've mentioned a friend who self-pubs on amazon. He writes "christian YA" exclusively. He does very well with it - and that's a niche market for sure. He makes several hundred a month. Sure anyone can say stuff like that - but.... he's not only a good friend, he's the Stake President - so lying about things isn't something he does. |

For the home decorator....Toys of Skyrim They are figurines, not really toy's in my book.. but should make pretty good nick-nack's.. For those that like playing unarmed... Unarmed Scaling it may not be exactly to everyone's liking, but it's something! Edited by Areial, Aug 7 2017, 01:53 AM.
