  1. People will come in here talking about tweeking a setting called "uGridsToLoad".

     

    Do not listen to them. :armscrossed: uGridsToLoad tweeking is akin to Russian Roulette. It'll inevitably FUBAR your setup at some point, and it's a pain in the ass to remove and usually involves reverting to a pre-tweek save.

     

    For those of you who espouse it: You stuck the proverbial gun in your mouth, spun the cylinder, and it went *click*.... this time. Every time you start the game with a uGridsToLoad setting that is >5, you spin that cylinder.

  2. It's Talos.

     

    Think about it. Someone who knows where all the word walls are. The way the letter is worded. The omniscience of the "friend". The investment in the Dragonborn's growth regardless of loyalties.

     

    It can't be Delphine. For all her spymastery, she is still only one person. And they can start before you even prove to her you're Dragonborn. Her "A Friend" sign-off is purely coincidential, just like there was an Esbern in the previous game, how Oblivion had a "Cyrus" despite that being the hero's name in Redguard. It's the most generic pseudonym. Furthermore, the letters keep on coming even when you get tired of her crap and say no to killing Paarthy.

     

    It can't be Ulfric. If you're pro-Imperial, why would he be aiding and abetting the mightiest of his enemies?

     

    It can't be Arngeir or any of the Graybeards, because again... they come before you even meet them and get formally anointed Dragonborn.

     

    It can't be Farengar. He has no way of knowing so quickly that you're being Thu'um happy in a public place.

     

    Talos has walked the Mundus before in a human form: Wulf in Morrowind and The Prophet in KOT9.

  3. This *will* end badly, seeing that you want to remove *all* mods. Even if you pull them out one by one, there are still orphaned scripts running. Bloatbombs may occur, such as with Sounds of Skyrim before its re-release. Also, there will be many locales edited by mods that will have the edited stuff removed and things not reverted to the way they were before removal.

    TBH, the simplest option you have is to just start over with a new game with everything uninstalled, and all loose scripts deleted.

     

    If it's due to instabilities, have you tried BOSS?

  4. The single greatest thing that FONV has up on FO3 is a lot more thought went into balancing. Even after it went gold, they rebalanced things; the de-nerf of energy weapons in v1.3 (IIRC?) comes most readily to mind.


    Also... DT. DR is the reason why power armor was pointless in FO3 and was awesome once again in FONV. Again, this goes into balance considerations.

  5. I like the setting, great for a survival character's camping trip. But I did find the quests and writing to be lackluster. Most of the quests are just fetch quests, with few skill checks or alternate ways of completion. There are few choices to be made, and none of them feel like any kind of serious dilemma you have to think about much. Like the big decision of whether to fight or flee, or whether to shoot General Gobbledegook, shoot General Gobbledegook a slightly different way that's a little better for Graham's mental health, or let the scumbag leave so he can rape and pilage someone else another day...

     

    Honestly, I found The Survivalist's terminal entries to be more interesting than the actual quests.

     

    I still liked Honest Hearts better than Lonesome Road though. :P

    The ending dialog says that the White Legs are broken and the 88s soon overrun them if you make Josh spare Salt-Upon-Wounds. And then the 88s are shoo'd out by the Dead Horses and Sorrows, who are a bit more benign towards caravaners, who then do business with the New Canaanites. It's the ideal ending (as Daniel's naive idealism ends up giving him a bad ending no matter what).

     

     

    I went into HH with a boatload of .308 JSPs and a fully decked out Hunting Rifle (which, along with the Battle Rifle, can endure firing .308 JSPs for a more appreciable length of time than the sniper or auto rifle) and still had some left afterwards.

  6. I sent a mod there to troubleshoot in Wrye Bash, and now I want to return it. It said it'd be sent to the Bash/Hidden directory.

     

    However, it seems to live up to its name: I cannot find it anywhere. I checked the root folder, I checked the data folder, I even checked the gamesave folder in My Docs. It is nowhere.

     

    So where is it really?

  7. Do you have the Dragonborn DLC?

     

    Do you have DragonActorScript.pex or MQKillDragonScript.pex loose in your data/scripts folder?

     

    Do you have the Unofficial Skyrim Patch and not the Unofficial Dragonborn Patch?


    Do you have any other mods pertaining to dragons and killing dragons?

  8. OBNOXIOUS CICADA

     

    A little something that fell by the wayside when I jumped over to Skyrim, but now I'm picking it back up as I go back to FONV.

     

    What is it?

     

    Quite simply, it's a rather familiar little gun from a science fiction movie franchise, brought over to FONV. Fittingly, it functions much like it does in the movies.

    Model and GECKwork by me, textures by CaBaL120.

  9. Hmmm... I have this same problem.

     

    Do a search in your Data/Scripts folder for "DLC2_QF_DLC2MQ01_02017F8E". If you find one that has the file extension ".pex", then something altered the script that handles those things. If you find just a .psc, then that's just the source file (which would exist if you have the CK).

     

    Delete it and see what happens. I'm waaaay too far along in my game to re-test.

    (Role Playing Geekery)

    The emperor is a coward. He fled his capital with his tail between his legs and only found the courage to return when an army of Nords and Redguards arrived to reinforce. Then, after the Nords and Redguards destroy the Thalmor army and retake the capital for him, he surrenders.

     

    He gives away Hammerfell. He bans worship of the founder of the empire. He allows Thalmor agents to roam the land abducting people and torturing them to death because they don't like their god.

     

    What use is an empire that doesn't protect its people or land? Screw the empire.

    (/Role Playing Geekery)

     

    Also, some of those Stormcloak girls are pretty cute. Just saying.

     

    @chikawowwow

    I think you're misreading the dossier. They tortured information out of him -- information which apparently wasn't useful anyway -- but he refuses to have anything to do with them since being released. Calling him "an asset" is just wishful thinking on their part.

    Wow.... You missed the biggest piece of evidence that he is indeed an asset: The Civil War. By knowing exactly how to manipualte him, they have goaded him into commiting an act of sedition that has torn asunder probably the strongest remaining province left in the Empire.

     

    As for "The Emperor is a coward who ran away"... What good is standing and fighting if your demise is assured? Nothing, because you just lost the war. He fled, and then came back with a force actually big enough to deal with the Dominion army. Another case where strategy and "honor" are at odds, it seems.

     

    Besides... where was that "stand and fight" attitude in Ulfric when he got tagged and bagged by Tullius's ambush?

     

    And as for "The Empire wanted to execute you!""

     

    WRONG.

     

    One crazy legion officer channeling the Red Queen wanted to execute you.

     

    "But Tullius was there and did nothing!"

     

    So the list guy in the next cart over was doing nothing too? He was saying absolutely nothing unlike Hadvar. Tullius was irrelevant to the immediate scene you were in and was being moved into position by the scene manager for telling Ulfric just what he has done to Skyrim. Need I also remind you that the whole Alduin landing scene is off-time a bit, with someone yelling "It's int he clouds!" when he's all but landed on top of the tower?
