It's kinda off subject but I notice you have helgan reborn in there...if you want to see something really bizarre....take out alternate start and start a new game so you WILL take the wagon ride...when you get into the rebuilt helgan some really interesting things begin to happen due to changes in the town layout put there by the helgan reborn mod...I never laughed so hard in all my skyrim days...things really get nuts...it sets off a domino effect of situations...that the game puts into animation you would NOT expect to even be possible...yet somehow...it does

yes I have... but altho it's a BIG improvement from lesser controllers...xbox...in particular... there is still however a big issue with aiming...for this reason alone I still use mouse and keyboard..I suppose IF I practiced enough I might become proficient but the learning curve is steep and so... my steam controller gathers dust on the shelf..you might do better...it is quite different and better in many ways...but the aiming I find tedious and S-L-O-W...which means while you are drawing a bead on em ..you are also taking massive damage quick shots?...well... maybe... you'll get a shot off before you die..and also.. I'm not proficient at toe to toe sword fights in games... so I'm referring only to the archery in skyrim..this game has the best archery I have seen in a game so far..that's why I like it...also I think this limitation would also apply to firearm aiming in many other games

I have to admit I WAS one of them guys also...but I have had a good experience with steam..and it really is nice to have all your games on a list to be accessed anytime you want...with all the updates added for free as you go...sorta grows on ya...it's NOT perfect mind ya.. but it's way ahead of whatever is in second place....disks are not forever. they break and become, lost, outdated,corrupted,ect,ect...and artwork is nice but it don't count for much if the disk becomes lost or trashed for one reason or another....so I'm a steam guy now....until something better comes along anyway

I had to move my games to the "E" drive cause "C" got over full....Now the mod manager won't open cause it thinks my games are all missing...how do I tell it where to look without being able to open it?? all I"d need to do is redirect it and all would be well...I like the mod package I have in there and if I have to delete and reinstall all my mods will get dumped..for skyrim...and I"d have to start all over again

yep... same here....so. now what?.....for me skyrim isn't worth playing without mods.. not just the ones Bethesda wants... but the ones I want !! that's the reason for the interest in games in general ....so I can do what I want.... not to be funneled into a prescript-ed little exercise that someone else dreamed up and it's Ironclad!!!!

Ok... I've not done this before and I realize that I'm probably in over my head before I even start...BUT is it even possible to create a replica of a house which I built out of logs and hand sawed planks..built entirely by hand in the real world piney woods of the pacific northwest..this happened...er well some time ago... but I thought it would be great to re-create it in skyrim...however, I've been watching you tube tutorials on the creation kit and I realize I'm gonna need a lot more flexibility with walls ect..For example...do you have to write your own texture packs to get something besides stone walls and floors and a thatched roof? also one side of it needs to be round with a spiral stair going to an upper level...and with bay windows you can actually see through.....I am a builder ...just not in the virtual world..and I know there will be a learning curve for that.. probably too steep of one for me i'm afraid....so Again... CAN it even be done? it's a neat little cabin and would be well worth some time and effort to re-build it in the virtual world..so...how about it.. any one out there like to help on such a project??...woodsmn

This isn't game breaking or anything just wondering why I enchant a vanilla bow and up-grade it and it works as advertised during that session but if I leave the game and come back the fiery color of my bow is gone and although it still seems to pack the original punch it has changed... for instance I enchant it with absorb health and stamina which it shows a trail of color coming from the killed person or animal... but leave and comeback...whoops! no color to indicate it's working and no flickering glow over the surface of the bow itself....question why not? what happened?..does it loose charge that quickly? and if it does then how do i fix it?

I'm new at this but in reply to how to add perk points....There is a mod that adds an ancient book which when read gives a select-able number of points up to ten and then up to ten more every time you open it.....very handy

i'm not sure how this works yet...but see below

yes to all of the above ....to bad the game writers made it impossible to kill the worst and most obvious scumbags as easily as a dragon isn't it?...course...that would kill scripted quests so I guess the game is the game and that's all folks!! ....that's where you modders come in...my thanks to you all many times over!!!

I have never joined either side after my initial play through when I joined the storm-cloaks...but they attacked white run and killed so many innocents!!.. then the final insult was their treatment of jarl balgrouh and I liked him he's probably the best jarl in the game.....so I have tried as much as the game menu will allow to help worthy causes but as you point out the thalmor are the real enemy and the worst scum in the game...if only one could wipe them out..perhaps combine forces (general tullius and the stormcloaks) so as to attack the thalmore....is such a thing even possible? given the constraints of the game dialog and all......woodsmn

I also want to thank those who build these mods ....and to sugest a possible topic for some new directions ..such as a mod to make it possible for our dova to walk into the palace practice yard in solitude and challange all commers there to an impromtu archery match on the spot...shur why not? I'm positive such things were the norm in those times weren't they? also a better fishing mod more on the lines of fishing in the salt game...anyway just somthing to do when i grow weary of killing monsters and bandits for a while...anyway just a thought...and keep up the good work..woodsmn
