I'm not going to be posting updates on the Beth board. I use that forum just for the conversation, and to keep connection with some folks who are there but not here. I don't care if my basic entry is posted there (although I'm not sure why my entry contains the class skill set, when nobody else's does.) |

Trace...Yep it was....which is as I said to you back in post #34. MY concern was that there seems to be "a force" trying to migrate the competitions back to Bethsoft.....at least that's how it appears to me....and I am not in favour of that at all. Specifically....calling the new rounds 14 and 15 over there and 'Official comp thread" just as if its the old competition regime simply carrying on..... As I said (in my 34) I see the point of posting notifications over there to garner interest.....but not making it appear like the competition is being run over there. As you say Trace, and I said also.....we came here on purpose to get the freedoms and to avoid the eventual move to Beth.net. Making it look like the competitions are simply still running on Bethsoft is not a good move imo and I fear its a precursor to having them move back there in actuality...bad idea!

I'm just going to have to give up. My game is so glitchy it's just not playable... and I'm at the end of my rope with it! I guess I'll try getting rid of all mods completely, and starting over again and see what happens,,, Good luck everybody, I'll be watching, eh? :) |

Dang Neil, that really sucks... Hopefully you can get them all sorted out... it only takes one and sometimes not something you'd think! Which btw lead's me to something I was going to bring up a bit latter, but this will give everyone time to mull it over. Three suggestion's for upcoming rounds.. one is Month dependent... 1) April ... Treasure Hunter... Easter Egg hunt.. and I mean that in both ways.. These Easter Egg's and this type of Easter egg ( The "eggs" would only count as points if one HAS them... no selling or using!) a) SLE, SEE and X-box 1 has similar mods... and I'd figure out something for PS and 360 players. b) the other type is IN the game, it would be a matter of "clearing" the dungeon. 2) Doesn't matter when... Dungeon Race... Your build, your mods, your difficulty... Picked and chosen Dungeons ( we get everyone to name 1 or 2 of their favorite dungeons.. players and friends alike).. IF you pick a Mod Dungeon it has to be on more than just PC.. or we can go completely vanilla dungeons.. Include or excluding DLC's a) this is timed b) 1st person done win's c) cart start 3) Nekkid Nord Scaled Challenge... Companions + bounty quests a) Only mod's allowed.. graphic's, USLEEP ( and the SSE version) Patches, graphic's, body meshes etc... IE just a "prettier version of Vanilla" b) No Crafting.. found Items only ...ie if ya can loot it, buy it, steal it you can have it. c) Every one start's on Novice and moves up every 10 levels d) You may only perk "warrior" skills + Archery ( which is in the Thief tree) so = 1h, 2h, Block, heavy armor, light armor and Archery * The Idea... who lasts the longest.. actually playing... It's also a "back to basics" round. Yes you can use other skills.. but no perks.. This would also give us a chance to discuss the use of Mod's and the direction of our rules, without having to rush and try and get the next round up and running.. IF we know what they are.. and simple at that.. it's easy to play and think on other things.. at least that's my opinion. And yes I know it's kinda early, this round barely starting.. but if we know the direction, it's easier to follow the map. |

Sorry to hear it neil, hopefully you can get it all sorted out :) I'll be looking at making my own entry into the competition soon....doing a full clean install (again) to try and get rid of whatever is lagging my game (literally running down the road and the game will suddenly slow to a walk, then return to a run. Irritating in general, but when trying to run away from something it's fatal.) Also Requiem left some meddling with ore veins when it uninstalled so I was getting 6 ores to a vein on my test characters....great for levelling smithing, but not so great in terms of level playing field and fairness for competition. BTW, I was wondering (for future rounds or those unaware of the mods)...would Loot and Degradation combined with Honed Metal cancel each other out? Provides additional options for characters choosing not to specialise in enchanting/smithing....especially when there's the added risk of your weapons shattering just by use in battle. Looks like both require skse, so only on PC Oldrim for the time being...unless skse has been updated for SSE and I missed it :) |

It seem's they both cover some of the same area.. both allowing Smith's to Temper items, Honed Metal also allow's for Buying the services of an Enchanter. Loot and Degradation allowing for armor and arm's to be less effective and needing to be re-tempered... same as Oblivion ( if I read it right). On 1st glance using them together would get a "null"... for using them in competition.. but I would like to read them both again when I'm not as tired. Someone else may have an answer right away. btw I had them both tracked...but I have never used them... |

The main reason for the inclusion of honed metal would be for the use of enchanting as a service. I believe I've had them installed together before and not had any real issue after using the MCM to disable duplicate offers of services...either way, was a thought that occurred given us allowing mods in competition and restricting skill numbers. (there are many more mods this will likely happen with....for all my hours in skyrim I must have spent several times that just trawling through the nexus) Going to get a few hours kip then do a quick stability check on skyrim, should be fine with only graphical mods, convenient horses, immersive armours/weapons and common clothes installed. All going well, I'll be posting my start this evening :) |

Neil sorry to hear that and hope you get it resolved. Part of this competition is about the mods we're using. If you figure out a culprit or culprits, a specific load order that works please share in your wrap up as a way to help others if they use those mods as well in the future! Best of luck! :beermug: |

Poncho... Game wise I would give L & D a 0 IF I am reading it right and NPC's get Improved weapons and the weapon's stat's improve for them as well.. I looked through 10 pages of posts but didn't see where anyone had asked that.. Honed Metal is a - as it gives a definite advantage to all types of characters. You may have to swap load order for all the services to work correctly, I have had that happen when two mod's have the same things in them... Also Wyre Bash patch.. that will also help |

Today i've cleared BFB and took the Dragonstone to Farengar. Total time so far: ~ 4 hours Score so far: 250 Level: 9 Skills: Spoiler: click to toggle Do we have to buy all the houses, or we can settle with one or two? The video should be up in about 15 minutes. Forgot to mention that i had a serious talk with Ralof and he put up quite a good case about joining the Stormcloacks. I also received a letter from the Jarl of Falkreath. Edited by After Dark, Feb 5 2017, 02:41 PM.
