[Comparing XCOM to UFO: The Good, the Bad, and the AWESOME!]

XCOM compared to UFO is close to "Ultra kiddy-play" by my standards. Too stripped, too much holding the players hand and the missions are too predictable. In (i.e) an escort mission (goes for the other Council missions as well) you know what you are up against every single time.

By the Ufo's sizes or the missions difficulty it gets easy to predict how many aliens (or groups of aliens) that will be on the map.

 

Games such as UFO: Aftermath and UFO: Aftershock (published by 1C) is, in a way, closer to a "Classic-UFO" than what XCOM: Enemy Unknown is said to be. Not entirely spot on though.

 

The fact that I am so unable to affect what class my soldiers will be may be quite a minus. I dislike that 20 of my 30 soldiers are snipers in my current game.

 

Still, I do like the fact that you can get special mission by the Council, I do like that you can only do two actions per turn (but I miss the AP still). I like that the player is stuck with 4-6 units per battle (more units would make this game even easier), but on the other hand, I miss to field a large amount of units. Thank gawd for Snipers, to have an actual sniper rifle is something I missed from the first game.

 

In the end I do however like playing the game, but if I want some serious alien hunting strategy my first pick will be UFO: Enemy Unknown.

[Character - walking animation doesn't work properly]

I haven't heard of a broken save that would cause this kind of behavior, so for certain I cannot say.

 

I find it more likely that any animations mod that you may be using requires an update.

 

I think it's rather not a problem with FNIS, I haven't used this before.

Note that I said that some mods drops these kinds of files into your folder with or without your knowledge. If these files got touched or not by the version of FNIS you downloaded and installed I cannot tell.

[[REQ] Kvatch Rebuilt: Voice Actors needed]

Yer welcome, I might add more available voice actors as I come across them. I am as well looking for voice actors (not a full phased hunt though).

[[REQ] Kvatch Rebuilt: Voice Actors needed]

You could try send a pm to Lomekian and/or RainsfordXY. They both posted in a thread saying that they are available for voice acting.

 

Forum Thread

 

Edit:

 

I forgot; I also got a tip about that the TES Alliance has a voice actors guild. You could also try your luck there.

[Character - walking animation doesn't work properly]

Are any of you two using FNIS? Do you use any animations mod?

(Some mods that depends on FNIS may drop these kind of files into your data folder.)

 

If yes: Download and install a newer version of FNIS, if that doesn't work, delete FNIS completely (this includes the mods requiring FNIS). Also, update any animation mod you may have (at least any mod fiddling with animations).

[how do i delete every mod at once]

It should work (in theory), as everything is within the vanilla files. What you delete is items that Skyrim can do without (the mods).

[how do i delete every mod at once]

Delete all files in the Data folder except following:

Skyrim.esm

Skyrim - Animation.bsa

Skyrim - Interface.bsa

Skyrim - Meshes.bsa

Skyrim - Misc.bsa

Skyrim - Shaders.bsa

Skyrim - Sounds.bsa

Skyrim - Textures.bsa

Skyrim - Voices.bsa

Skyrim - VoicesExtra.bsa

 

-----------------

Dawnguard

-----------------

Dawnguard.esm

Dawnguard.bsa

-----------------

Hearthfires

-----------------

Hearthfires.esm

Hearthfires.bsa

 

Then you get rid of all mods.

 

You could keep the Video folder, Interface folder and the Docs folder.

[Failed to Validate]

Have you done any attempts to re-installing and run a clean Skyrim install (removing all files related to Skyrim)?

You may want to backup your saved games

[Is anyone playing Dawnguard WITHOUT bugs/ crashing?]

So far I've had no crashes, nor bugs with either Skyrim, Dawnguard or Hearthfires.

I'm running only with armour and weapon mods and a body re-placer, I did use the Monster Mod but it actually caused my game

to crash so I removed it.

[Not found for parameter object id problem>]

All that I can think of is that you might have gotten a letter/number wrong.

 

At least if you have checked the item ID from the console while it been in a container/your inventory and of mistake written off from a bad editor ID line.

 

---> BAD EDITOR ID (ID)

<#> - <item name> <item ID> <xxx, xxx.xx%>

---> BAD EDITOR ID (ID)

 

I tend to do such myself sometimes so this is the first thought that came to my mind.

[Not found for parameter object id problem>]

item'01001fb8'not found for parameter object ID.

Is that example line or did the console actually change your 04 to 01 as you pressed enter?

[adult only content]

there's a submit button at the bottom of the page. Should save and update your preferences after pressing it.

[Cant load Dawnguard into CK]

There should be a fix for that over at Skyrim Nexus.

 

Try these:

• Solution 1
  
• Solution 2
  

[Animation bugs]

Do you happen to have any FNIS files lying around in your Skyrim data folder?

 

1.8 is known to conflict with FNIS and one and another mod. So, as I read about DoD:

-Full Compatibility with the 1.7 update and Dawnguard.

 

It's fully possible that DoD does break your attack animations and such due to the 1.8 patch.

Mods that haven't been "adjusted" for 1.8 (animations mods in this case) may also, beside FNIS, cause this to happen.

 

Solution is to check for an update for the mod, or remove/deactivate the mod. If it still acts up after you have deactivated ityou should delete the mod completely until a update/fix comes around.

[Looking for "Playmates"]

If you're into either Halo 4, or virtually any driving game, that's what I normally play, atleast once a week. I'm quite a good car builder, and I always preffer to give my work to someone who'll race it, rather than sell it to someone who'll then sell it on.

 

I believe I have Halo 4 still lying around somewhere, I shall look for it. As for racing games my only racing game would be Forza 3.

[Warhammer Make over/Gear]

I wouldn't mind some Warhammer gear, some armors would even come in handy for me mod :woot:

[Looking for "Playmates"]

I am looking for new gaming mates to play with. My ordinaries simply just don't have time, the will, the energy, or have sold of their Xbox 360. The games I'm currently playing on my 360 is:

 

Saints Row the third

• I got all DLC except the cheat pack.
  
• I often play on hardcore.
  
• I don't cheat nor do I want to play with cheaters or a-hats.
  

 

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City

 

Armored Core V

• Due to low player base it's hard to find a fun team to play with
  

 

Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce

 

Fable III

 

Got any of these, don't mind posting here or send me a PM. :D

[drawing weapon problems]

Are you using FNIS?

If yes; if you haven't downloaded and installed the newest version of FNIS you should.

If that doesn't solve it, try to completely delete FNIS (this may include mods depending on FNIS as well).

 

Do you use any animation mods?

If yes; just in case download any newer version of any animation mod you may have (if there is a newer version

of the mods that is).

 

 

It's more likely that FNIS is the cause due to patch 1.8, rather than an animation mod. Never hurts to be careful though.

If you ain't a FNIS user, do check for any FNIS scripts/files in the Skyrim data folder, some mods may add FNIS scripts and such.

[FNIS mod problem]

FNIS is known to cause trouble since patch 1.8, unless there's a new FNIS update and/or a fix I'd say you should play without FNIS 'til it have gotten adjusted for 1.8.

[Everything in new patches is broken]

There's plenty of peoples having issues with their game and mods, no doubt.

 

Due to patch 1.8 some mods requires updating (by downloading and installing the mods again - some mods might however have no update yet).

Update your mods (at least any companion, housing, animation mods and such you may have), also post

your mod list. Helps a lot when rooting the bugs out.

[Dawnguard animation problems!]

Have you tried to verify the cache with steam? If files may be missing it might restore them. That is what I can come up with

at this time.

[Skyrim Mod Uninstall Issues]

Have you tried removing the mods from the Data folder?

Steamapps>common>Skyrim>Data

[Dawnguard animation problems!]

It might actually be FNIS that may be the cause in this case, at least for the crossbow (and perhaps for the gargoyle issue too). As far as I know and seen in the forum and elsewhere, FNIS have caused various of animation bugs with the 1.8 patch. Not sure if they have made a FNIS-Fix yet, but removing FNIS completely have solved various of animations issues.

 

So, yeah, try remove FNIS and see how it goes.

[Mod Manager Not Working]

Your mods will remain since they are lying within your Skyrim folder, NMM won't touch the Skyrim folder when it gets uninstalled.

[Inspiration]

The battle animation I might say is something to consider. Though in the end I'd prefer battle animations similar to something like Shogun 2 or so.

 

For armor, you could probably check out the Tera armor mods, they look similar to some

armors in that video.

 

In the end I don't find a lot to be in awe of, nor do I feel inspired, sorree. :confused:
