Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Man....
If you don't "cheat" the money system in Skyrim and want a cash heavy quest, you've got to do the one where you find the dog for the smith in (???can't remember right now).....but when you complete that quest, it starts another that just drips with gold.(and loot)

I'm nearly 100 hours in....level 34.....purposely ignoring the main quest until a week before The Show drops and I am absolutely still loving this game!

A great $60 investment.
This cannot be disputed!(I'm on PC and have had zero problems with freezes or glitches(except one small quest which won't trigger)

Im about to start that 2nd part of the quest right now. Time to empty the bags & head up there.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I'm surprised at how much coin you get for some of the easy quests. Taking food up to the Greybeards gets you 750. Hell, you're going up there anyway.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

C'mon. Somebody post some screens of the high res pack, or at least give some details. My laptop won't be here today, so now I'm waiting on some info

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I'm looking for some comparison screenshots my Will. Want to see if it's worth downloading before I do.

Oh yeah, PC version of Skyrim is 33% off today. Don't know how long that will last.

Most of the feedback I am seeing is the Mods are better than the Texture pack. To me the mods are crazy. I saw termites on a tree stump the other day. I tried to eat them.

I am curious if its worth the download myself.

The ants on a log isn't a mod. I've seen that on my PS3 version.

Guess I didn't stop and look before.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Where is it 33% off?

Nvmd, found it on Steam. Is the Creation Kit and all the DLC thus far free?

Yep, it's all free.

I've found some screenshots and detailed posts on the texture pack, the differences are slight. I'll be sticking with the ones I already have, and those will probably be made even better in time.

Vanilla vs HD Texture Pack (Beth) vs SkyrimHD 2k(player mod)

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Very nice, thanks trob. Appreciate it. Just purchased through Steam, so when the lappy gets here, I'll be ready to roll again. Still have my game saves from last time, but will most likely start over. New experience.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I just installed the High Res Pack. 3.5gb if you guys are curious. I can try to take screenshots but the resolution of the shots might not do it justice.

How do you post a screen shot from steam?

Edit: You can turn off and on the texture pack using the Nexus Mod Manager. Nice!

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Here you go. These pics still has other mods turned on. FXAA, Enhanced Shaders and no more blocky faces are the ones that make the biggest difference here. This is not taken in HD, I play on a monitor 1440x900

Without Texture pack:

With Texture pack:

You can see the biggest difference on her dress. I used her because of the facial details.

Just to compare with the SkyrimHD 2K textures plus Improved NPC clothing.




Edit: Gonna try to get her from behind that stand.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I really don't like the way she looks in your screen TRob. Those eyes don't make her look like an old woman any longer.
