Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

MSI GT783 | Core i7 2670QM | nVidia GTX 580M 2GB DDR5 | 16GB DDR3 | 128GB Crucial M4 SSD | 128GB Transcend SATA II SSD | 750GB HDD 7200RPM | BD-Writer | Windows 7 Ultimate x64

It defaulted to Ultra settings, at 1080P, and runs flawlessly. Getting ready to install the Crucial M4 as my primary SSD HD. Current WEI is 6.9 because of the Transcend HD, everything else is at 7.8 or above.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Boooo, Steam is down, can't download the CC.

What are the recommended mods? Any links? Trob, I'm looking at you.

PS, this laptop BLAZES

Go to Skyrim Nexus. My favorite mods right now are Skyrim 2k for textures, flora and fuana upgrade. No more blocky faces as well as all other face and body mods by the same person Xenius I believe. Then you have to get RWT water mod.Also Smoova's ENB profile is really good. If you play a stealth or mage female character get the TRiss clothing mods.

I dont use the Steam center to download anything. I downloaded the Nexus mod manager and it brilliant, does all of the work for you.

Also i forgot get Jaysus sword mod. This adds a whole mess of swords that fully craftable and add a lot to the game. If you are a Lord of the RIngs fan there is also a mod for getting and usiing Narsil if the game..

There are a ton of others , I am using like 20 right now. If you need any help of have a question just pm.

And say good bye to sleep and social activities

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Alright guys, I'm breaking.

I've played a CRAPTON of Skyrim on my 360, but once my tax return comes back I'm building a gaming computer.

I need mods and the creation kit.

I'm jealous.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Yep, came with all of that glory in the screen above. It's an MSI GT783 -625US

Just installed the crucial SSD, and waiting on the drivers to update. Holy smokes does the Crucial make a huge difference over the transcend.

Now I'll have to redownload skyrim however. Blah.

Overall, it'll be worth it, no more bloatware, just smooth Windows 7 performance haha.

I transferred some of my old skyrim saves over prior to installing the new HD, just to see how it'd run it, and it was above 60FPS w/ everything turned on, fan didn't even kick on.

My WEI is now at 7.9 across the board.

Can't wait to start a new guy. I haven't even touched the theives guild or the Dark Brotherhood. Looking forward to a challenge. No more Daedric Armor, haha.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

damn Will what type of Wizardry did you employ to convince your employer to buy you a top end gaming machine like that?!

[WTF]

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Law enforcement tactics, lol.

When you're allocated a certain level of funds to spend on office tech, you buy office tech...

I certainly don't want a machine that will be outdated soon, that's my stance and I'm sticking to it, haha.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I'm guessing it's just me but after the patch I've been getting killed rather easily.

[WTF]

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I'm sure it does, but does Steam download the patch automatically? I'm sure it does. Just in case.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Recently, built a gaming rig and looking to get back into skyrim, took a brief hiatus from Skyrim on the PS3, but after looking at mods on youtube and the new creation kit, it's a no-brainer that I have to get Skyrim for the PC.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

For somebody that has only dabbled in mods the Steam Workshop is just brilliant. I'm picking and choosing and having a blast making improvements to the game.

If you haven't already you guys should check out the mod that adds trees and detail to the cities. It makes them feel so much more lived in and alive.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Yes it does.

That laptop you got there is a beast.

Here's the mods I am running.

Textures and Graphics:
Enhanced Blood Textures
Skyrim floral Overhaul
Skyrim Enhanced Shaders
Official Skyrim Textures

GUI:
A Quality World Map (it shows roads)
Sky UI
Categorized Favorites Menu
Lockpick Pro (on my second playthrough, I don't care for the minigame)

Favorite Armor/Magic/Weapons Mods:
Jaysus Swords
Lord Armor
Hoodless Archmage Robes
Lore Friendly Armor Pack
Lord Armor
Midas Magic
Scout Armor

I'm using the Nexus Skyrim Mod manager right now to manage the mods that I download from the Nexus site. Easy to use.

I use a lot of the ones listed, especially the texture packs. Skyrim HD2K, Skyrim Flora Overhaul, Serious HD Retexture Landscapes Skyrim, those are must haves imo.

Also near the top are:

Improved NPC Clothing - High Res
High Res Face Maps for Men
DIMONIZED UNP Female Body
Skyrim Enhanced Shaders
Midas Magic - Spells in Skyrim
Deadly Dragons (So fun!)
Weapons of the Third Era (must have this along with JaySuS Swords)
More Craftables
Wars in Skyrim
Dovahkiin Hideout
Better Females by Bella


SKSE & ScriptDragon Mods:
Categorized Favorites Menu (SKSE)
SkyUI (SKSE)
Smart Souls (SKSE)

Decorator Assistant (SD)
Dynamic Timescale (SD)
iHud (SD)
Scale Quest Rewards (SD)
Dragon Souls to Perk Points (SD)

I use a lot of mods man, but these are pretty much the ones I have to have. If you plan on using a lot too, you should definitely familiarize yourself with BOSS and Wrye Bash again if you remember how it was with Oblivion. I don't use the Steam Workshop at all.
