Welcome, I am not new lol. Hope you find what you're looking for.

I personally haven't bought a Bethesda Product since Fallout 4. Didn't grip me the way the older titles did. Maybe that's just me getting older. I don't play much of anything anymore and when I do its usually FNV, Oblivion or Silent Hunter 3.

I'm recently replaying Oblivion. I'm playing with the music on for Nostalgia purposes but sometimes it gets a little annoying during dialogue. I usually play with music off tho for games like that.

So i have a bit of a technical problem I was hoping someone could help me with. I juts got an AMD 7970 and when I installed the display started showing up as a 1770X1000 screen in the middle of my 1920X1080 moniters screen, but it showed up as 1920X1080 resolution... Im not sure what to do, so I changed the resolution to 1770X1000 to make the screen look normal as a temporary solution, but I would prefer to use 100% of my monitor. I have tried adjusting all the settings I can think of and I updated all the drivers. I am using an HDMI cable not a DVI cable if that makes a difference (I dont think it does). What am I missing here?

The Dremora of Skyrim, why do they look like dark elves with horns and war paint? In Oblivion the Dremora looked rather unique, not to mention their hilarious voices. What do you guys think about the new Dremora. I myself can't really take them seriously, and I'm also unsure as to why Sanguine appears as a Dremora.

I actually just finished getting out all the remaining ones. Was still having a few issues. No way I'm doing a reinstall!

Still having a few tiny issues, but for the most part it worked, thanks guys.

Well these things I must try. Thanks folks! You've all earn your kudos!

Yes, before you say anything I know what you're thinking. "Did you back up your textures?" Well the answer is quite simply, no. In my haste to see the mod I forgot to back up my textures. I decided to delete the mod because it just didn't feel right. Well when I uninstalled I replaced what I could with some huge HD texture packs I had, but am still having the following problems: Animal textures still in tropical mod (Not that big a deal really), Certain Nordic ruins still have sandy color (not a big deal either, in some cases it looks kinda cool), Distant lands look like like plains or deserts (kinda annoying. This includes the world map), and distant trees look like 2D Nordic watch towers (Kinda really annoying, main reason I'm posting this.) NOW! There's no way in Oblivion that I'm doing a reinstall. I have my reasons. Now I'm thinking maybe if I delete some of (a lot) of the afflicted textures from the data folder and sync up to steam the vanilla files will re-download. I'm not sure about this theory though, and would like the opinions of some of you more well versed in this sort of thing. Will dance for help: :dance:

WAIT!! Try this: http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/909021-cant-absorb-dragon-souls/page-4?hl=%2Bdragon+%2Bsoul&do=findComment&comment=7603889

There is a way around it with the console commands, though not sure how to do it. Im having the same problem, but can't seem to find an answer. I know that doesn't help, but just know that you aren't alone.

I looking for explicit details though.

NO I do have dragonborn. Thats why I want to do that quest. I got to level 59 without even touching the main quest, didnt feel like dealing with dragons. Ha.

So I have a bug in my game that prohibits me from absorbing dragon souls. I must not be dragonborn. HA! Anyway, Im trying to get past the quest where you have to kill the dragon outside Whiterun. Where the soldiers gawk at you for absorbing the dragon's soul. The next goal for the quest is "Investigate Dragon". I obviously cant get past this because Im not absorbing souls properly. I know there is a way around this with console commands. Like setstage and all that, but I tried and I'm doing something wrong. Can anyone please tell me how to approach this problem? Help would be much appreciated, and I do have connections in the East Empire Company ;)

Got yah. Thanks. I just hired the ship captain. None of those events ever happened. Im sure i have a big bug somewhere.

So I'm wondering how to start the Dragonborn questline with Miraak and all that rot. I've been to Solestheim and did some of the Raven Rock quests, but cant seem to start what seems to be the main quest. Not all that sure. I'm also having a problem where I'm not absorbing dragon souls. Either my game is messed up, or I was never meant to be the Dragonborn. Any thoughts?

I'm looking for some ideas on where to start. My idea: Making a mod that makes the character always wanted, and wanted dead!! I also want to make posses that come after the character such as those *Hired Thugs* or Thalmor. I want to always be on the run. Not sure how to make a mod like this. It seems feasible, but could someone point me in the right direction. Thanks guys.

Disregard! I fixed it, not sure how. But Were good.

Well I installed Hearthfire today (Through Steam). Afterwards the game itself DOES NOT RUN! It won't start, at all. I tried unchecking it and still nothing. I tried removing it from the game folder and STILL nothing. I ran the Verify cache files scan and all that fun stuff as well. Does anyone have any suggestions? Perhaps some that don't invovle reinstalling.

It all works and was rather helpful. I now know that it was significantly easier to make a follower in the CK than it is in the GECK.

Downloading, gonna try it tonight. I'll let you know how it goes.

Its says "No file uploaded"

That would be awful nice, I would greatly appreciate it. I made a simple Orc follower in Skyrim but can't for the life of me remember how I did it. I know it wasn't to challenging though.

I am making a mod for myself and want to add in a simple NPC as a follower, no quests related to it, no interesting dialogue, and NO WAY IN HELL will there be any voice acting, most of those modding techniques are beyond my level of skill. Just want a simple follower, similar to those mercenaries in Skyrim that cost 500 gold to hire. Any tips?

Many thanks pardner. *tips hat*
