Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

there's an "activate" feature in Mod Manager. I "think" if you pull up mod manager, and double click the mod, it will activate it in game. It's the most user friendly modding game that I've had. I haven't gotten it installed on the M17x yet though.

Yup, that's right. You have to activate them after DL.

Also, anything you DL through NMM archives the compressed file in the mods folder (SteamApps/common/skyrim/mods) so you can go through and manually check the location if you need to (there are a few mods I've DL'd that had incorrect path folders despite supposedly being NMM compatible).

EDIT: also, some mods require you to use a clean save if you're installing to a game in progress...not sure about those two mods though.

Speaking of mods, there's a guy called Omegared99 who makes some quality armor sets over on Nexus. I highly recommend this guy's work. He has a leveled list that lets you find the pieces on random mobs as well. He's started on a project where he is going to bring the armors from "A Game of Thrones" into the game. Here's an early pic of a WIP of Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane's armor:

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Looking to get back into playing this game, as I get bored with Madden and the grind of a full 162 games in the show. I think I will wait for the patch, but I am looking forward to getting back into this. Probably has something to do with Game of Thrones coming back on TV as well.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

It always amazes me how talented some of the dudes in the modding community are and they do it for free.

Just to confirm this new patch for consoles will be the 'arrow kill cam' patch won't it?

Yes, and it is pretty damn cool.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Question: I had to trade my copy to pay for ME 3 CE a bit ago. I finally picked it back up with Toys R Us' sale ($39.99).

I am on a later Thieves Guild Quest that takes place in a dungeon with a companion. I built my character as a spellsword with the original flames spell and added frostbite. It seems like my flame is very underpowered, even though I upped it in my skills. When I finished the dungeon I found myself at the mage's college and purchased fireball and chain lightning. Will this help or are most spells underpowered as a rule? It also seemed like dual casting upped the damage a bit, but I am not certain.

Thanks.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

The problem with Destruction if I remember correctly is that the spells don't scale, i.e, they don't get better as you get better. It's fine for the early levels but once you get to higher levels you'll see it takes more and more time and mana to kill things with the same spells. Compare that with weapons where your damage gets better as you get better using that type of weapon.


If you're playing on the PC, there are some mods that can help you out with that.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

So i started to get back into this game after putting it down for a bit. First thing I do is check my quest log & selected one at random to finish, I checked the map to see where I have to go, selected the closest place to fast travel, which was some cave & BOOM!, I get put right in the middle of a 3 dragon brawl with each other! WTF? Luckly they didnt notice me so I walked back some. It was 2 smaller, frost dragons fighting this big one! That was pretty cool to watch.

At the end, I picked one off first by shooting arrows at it, killed it, the other little one flew off cause it was low on health from fighting the bigger one, bigger one noticed me, came to attack, I jumped on its head, killed it, the last dragon flew back down, killed that one too.
End of the day, 3 dragon souls! Yay!

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I always get a little jealous when I hear stories like that. I still have yet to have more than one dragon spawn at a time, and even then it's kind of rare. I have to go looking for them.

Re: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Pretty sure I would avoid the Mountain until I leveled up high enough to smack him in his mouth.
