<snicker> well... Then run it... back to basic's... no mod's outside graphic's and face/body/hair...If it's not vanilla, otherwise ya can't have it. Faction armor..yada yada...
( anything that effect's the game after Helgen )

Seriously it's only complicated in the mod area... what is advantage, what make's it harder. I could make decisions and call it good.. or leave it up to Richard... but I prefer to open it for discussion.

Most of us know what our mods do.. sometimes we might forget a feature, cause it isn't something that we actually use it for... Inconsequential NPC's.. Rick pointed out that it does the same thing as Run for your Lives and When Vampires attack... normally I run all three, but not during competitions.. I was going to run it last comp for the extra people..

It's only as complicated as we make it... The poll wouldn't be sooo un-wieldy if I was good at coming up with..good questions.

Well, there are the questions of prep time and housing, on top of the mods.

And let's face it, the discussion over the inclusion of zombie puppies is going to take a week by itself :rofl:

Warning Zombie Puppy....
Spoiler: click to toggle

^^^^^ better???
Yeah... but then everyone see's the questions.. suggestions and get's their say... I got a couple PM's ( on the Beth board) a couple of competitions ago, about how some people didn't see all the suggestions and that they should have been stated better so they could have put in their opinion. Sere suggested a poll..and All one has to do is look at that 2nd post to see what's being suggested.

A start date hasn't really been defined.. I said something about the 4th.. cause it's a Friday, but other than that... no one said yes or no...

Edit: I'm good with just about anything but exclusive Legendary difficulty.. that I would not be playing.... I die to quick and it's just not fun for me.

Honestly, they should sign up here, then. We give folks ample warning and plenty of notification about competitions, stories, and Haven all the time. Some of them I think just can't be bothered to look somewhere that's not Bethsoft. Even that one poster (Erzherzoghans, I think) expressed interest in a competition, and then immediately said 'never mind I don't want to join another forum.'

A thought occurred to me (rare event, I know), since we're discussing possibilities...

Rather than having the difficulty adjustment (multiplier) separate from the mod adjustments, how about incorporating a +/- system for difficulty as well.

Something like:

Novice - - - -
Apprentice - -
Adept 0
Expert + +
Master + + + +
Legendary + + + + + +
(Actual number of +/- to be discussed.)

The idea being that the difficulty slider setting would offset that number of disadvantages/advantantages.

Kane... well technically we can do the "copy/paste" for anyone that doesn't actually want to join... copy their stuff from their over... but.. yeah... not like it's a pay forum.

Glarrg.. something like that, was what I had in mind anyway more or less... though Mod list's would always have to be posted ( spoiler tagged). The hard part would be getting people to not take offense at someone else saying what they thought was a null or "makes it harder" mod, actually is an advantage mod.

At some point the decisions on mods have to be somewhat arbitrary anyway. :)

True that.... problem is some people take these competitions very very seriously and as was mentioned to me not to long ago... someone is going to say that a person only won because of an "advantage" mod.. Which could be the truth IF their are not others making it harder.

Now if the "advantage" mod is "Grow Apples and Tomatoes" ( think stew making) but the person also has OBIS... we can all look at them and ask if they are insane... But take Immersive Jewelry.. which while it has up's and downs... is over all I think an advantage ( got to thinking about it all) though not really by much.... get smithing up to fast and... yeah you know... So.. Immersive Jewelry and Tactical Valtheim... they might have a leg to stand on.... depends on the rest of their load order.. and play style...

Anywho... I'm for the shower..then a Doctor's appt... Michael... but regular Doc..

Wasn't sure who you were posting to Areial. I think maybe Thorny, because our posts were one right after the other I was probably typing at the same time as you were. See on the bottom of page 2 for me.

Yeah.. I never saw your post...cause mine was the 1st on this page... <sigh> that is a umm sucky feature.....lol


And I might steal part of your post for the 1st post... to bring it up to date... and maybe over in Beth.soft to bring that into the fold also...

Yeah.. why I don't play in every competition, it get's dull after a while, specially if everyone is to serious... yes I understand competition.. :meh:

quote " I believe Neil put out a good approach with regards to version of game and installment. That is, just state if you're playing Skyrim Vanilla no DLCs, Skyrim Vanilla with modular DLCs (that is you've activated HF & DB, but not DG as an example), SLE full, SSE. That way it can be evaluated at the end of competition play. "

I like that idea.. I think that if we put what we think the mod's are... and then discuss them ( on the value thread) we can adjust them as we go...

I'm being wishy-washy about what "build" I want to use.. and weather or not it will be Lucien.. I may wait and see if everyone likes the "Adventurer" idea I brought up ( everyone pick a dungeon or two, lvl scaled..mostly vanilla *except dungeons and things to make the character pretty*..1st one finished wins... so mod's must be equal)

I'd like to go heavy... but it really doesn't make sense for Lucien.. or maybe it does.. gotta think...

I might do what I'm doing on Arilynn now, not sure.

She's running my second build idea from the other thread.
