My opinion is that if a sentient person knows the risks involved, that it may shorten life and or the quality of life and still wishes to enjoy a smoke traditional or otherwise, then its that persons business and personal preference and there is no right or wrong answer.
Its not a moral question.
You might as well ask in fiction why people sell there souls to the devil for seven years of pleasure before kicking the proverbial bucket and why those films appeal to some people.
There are pros and cons to everything and a price to most little pleasures. I guess it depends on how much it pleases you, and what your willing to pay for the moment.
If a life without the little things but with better health is worth it, if you have to have the diet and exercise habits of a beast and drink mostly water like a dog from its dish, instead of coffee, fine wine or carbonated drinks.
Human beings are mortal and the only thing that matters in the end contently is the enjoyment of the time given.
So, years of pleasure for the risk of dying badly over 6 months or so? Or a long life with little please of indulgence? What is pleasure to you, are you a sensualist, or do you like spartan living? It depends on the person.

There is a poetic answer and a straightforward one. Its An applied technology based on scientific principles. Its the process of creating Art and the creation that results from the tensions crated by art. Both statements are true and there is no contradiction in proper context.

Well, I am pleased at Trumps inauguration as us president. He is a great man. Also a logical one. This is historic for moderns times.
Not based on any one issue but seeing the big picture and what his moment stands for directly and indirectly, As a anime/manga fan, a lover of games books and art....People should know that not all of us are short sighted, and fail to see context.
Trump go's on about god, but what he stands for pleases the gods as well...Of legend, and of man. More obviously its in service to creation order and beauty, which is what I serve by choice in my life, and what trumps opponent in my opinion was trying to untimely undermine.
People were losing all distinction, music, movies, books were suffering since about 1993. Culture was dying. Everything was getting more or less the same as everything else.Like the corrupt society in the movie demolition man, where tocobell was the only restaurant. Heading to Richard bachman's nightmare world of ''the running man'' (book not the film).
People should know that the ability to properly distinguish a thing, or identify reality and its elements, is not discrimination. If you have to delude yourself, or lie about plainly observed facts, you will know it on some level, and you do your beliefs, whatever they are, a disservice.Trump is, where it matters, for all intents and purposes, a honest man.
Embrace a thing as it is, and defend the truth of what you see without assumptions. If you cant do that then you don't really believe it, and others can tell, you have no integrity. I speak of Hillary's version of politically correct, in my opinion.
Trying to socially enforce a falsity or even a misrepresented truth, creates hostility in others. They see it as a hollow justification or worse. The reason its not enough is because such people don't really believe it and need to make it expected by all to feel right about it.
TRYING TO FORCE PEOPLE TO SAY THEY BELIEVE WHAT IS OBVIOUS TO THE INNER MIND IS A LIE, OR FALSE DATA OUT OF CONTEXT.
The only way to do this is to destroy the human ability to discern or understand aesthetics and collectively reinforce this by media and propaganda.
The mind of the thinking person rebels, and the underneath of the underneath, in my opinion is a small to moderate part of what got trump elected even though hes not directly even about this sort of thing. There are of course underlining and overt political reason that overshadow this obviously....but its the undercurrent in my opinion.The hostility of the majority was reaching the breaking point, to the point it was getting irrational itself.
One thing is certain, integrity and loyalty are the essence of honor, and trump understands this in my view, and it covers many sins.
Beauty is truth. Order without assumption and stagnation is in service of creation and evolution. Which is divine and the divine in people. Which supports the kind of beauty you see in musics, films, games, anime/manga and such.
There is a psychiatric disorder common these days where people walk into a art museum and see the works of old masters, or any object of beauty and vomit uncontrollably, like a fictional vampire confronted with a cross and the article said this was becoming a common disorder.
The sort of hypocrisy I am talking about here is the reason in my view.
Whats fascist is trying to force beliefs on others and ostracize or socially punish them if they don't proclaim to believe as you, in denial of plainly observed facts.To hurt there jobs and there lives. They tried to do this to him but the overriding force of the man and the movement and peoples dissatisfaction won out. Human nature, won out, in other words.
The thing about the politically correct new world and all the talk of it ending, and the end of things is a lie. The truth is, the secret is: It never really existed at all. Like a fragile illusion made of spun sugar, left outside and Trump is the first rain. It only existed on faith, much like Tinkerbell, and people grew tired of clapping.
Hillary's hypocritical brand of pc....Its metaphorically, a mental version of that star trek episode where Picards' kiddnapper tried to make him say, there were more lights, there, in the torture chamber than there really were...in the end he almost believed it.

In addition everyone should be grateful to have such a regal and beautiful first lady, she has the deportment of true nobility, today she dressed like Jackie and conducted herself in a manner that would rival a countess. Moreover all in all, a first family of which the country can be proud.

Console: is on flying mount. It wont show codes. I think the inni is messed up the screen is in letterbox and sort of blurry now. Would deleting the ini and enb stuff, reset it?
(I mean wont show codes, as in help 4 or help 0.) page up wont work. It will still open some batch files.
edit: yeah its the official steam legendary version, but heavily modded. its always missing 5 files, steam always puts them back when I run a check under properties, causing itm in the dlcs and update and the need to clean it with tessedit.

Have you ever created a cute (or even kinda smexy) Argonian character? Share them here! I've honestly always wanted to play an Argonian female, but could never create one that appealed to me. I'd love to see yours and get some ideas!
With characters like that there beauty is kinda of proportional to there anthropomorphic level, (lizard level) the key is to find mods to turn it down in a natural way, make them look more like a woman...but not like a nord cosplaying...they still have to be what they are, but more like the result of a halfbreed between say a nord and one of them. Then you simply have an exotic woman with claws and scales, (and boobs) like the necromancer in quest for infamy, which was attractive.

I adore mods like these. You will be able to choose your nobles?
Will we get the chance to mystery game style expose any revolutionary element, and stop chaotic plots, finding clues and setting example, sentencing, and establishing a wonderful yet classical system for the peasantry?
Sort of fantasy neoclassical if we choose?
The sort of thing that can only work and keep people content in sword and sorcery epics? You know where peoples better nature is the dominate local factor?
-
I still play. I play it just like Vagner's Lohengrin.
Seriously though, with mods it will live forever...or almost.

Delphine leads you into a her secret room...
''Delphine: close the door''
You look around and discover....many past dragonborn...some of which are very old.
''Delphine leaves''
*snick*

I would think the coins were from the empire, like roman coins.
I am personally pleased the jarls don't do horrible things to there people, because it dose not give revolutionary idiots an excuse to raid the holds and slaughter people destroying civilization, just so they can loot the city, harm the women, and stuff like that... then do worse themselves under a flimsy pretense.
All they care about is stopping active disruption, not harassing people, or making them live in fear. there is pretty much a free economy and people pay tributes i would imagine.
I also imagine the function of the high king is a safeguard against that sort of thing as well.

Mod-maker: We can rebuild it, we have the technology.

If that fails:
Are you concerned about the saves or the game working? If you did not get far, the steam can repair the damage with no mods, if you have a save of the characters before you installed the offending mods make a list of the ones you have now that the save is dependent on and backup the .sav before re-installing/validating the game.
I guess this would work logicly, as a last resort.... but might be unneeded, try cleaning your game first...also use tes, not just cleaning .sav. Update dawnguard, dragonborn, apply filter for cleaning, identical to masters, references:done.
Note: I had a problem with creatures after installing it because it was mentioned, it created a dead horse that would follow me around. It was vaguely horrible even after removing creatures (I saw little difference to gameplay) It was a night-mare...I tried disabling the dead horse to hide it but this did not work, it came back next place I went, like a pulp horror story labeled: (my characters name's) horse. De-intastall creatures must be used I had to clean it remove stuff and put it back. I assume it was stuck in a pose or this was the mod makers sick joke if removed, it was to perfectly, a dead horse. Like ''a horse body'' file , in sims.

And Enderal? Not to take away any of the faults of vanilla Skyrim, but it's like comparing Lovecraft and Karl May novels. The former, for all his influence, I never read so much. The latter, I wouldn't dare say there's a lot of depth there, but I cherish the memories of getting up early in the morning so as to read them when I was a child.
Lovecraft...ah, I wrote essays on his work as a child, I was so captivated. The phenomenon of his influence on good media, good art...to this day is amazing. He was a great man no matter how misunderstood by his imitators.
I think, on a deep level, the sentiment of some of his metaphors rings true to people on a base level, though some would be loath to admit it.
Lovecraft was a atheist when it came to conventional views of religion and wrote as he did. A logical and reasonable man. He was a atheist but did not make a religion out of atheism, becoming just another fool.
He could still think for himself you see. He did not assume overly much, or look at things out of context. Some of his work not directly related to his mythos also made me smile. The cats of ulthar for one. What a wonderful story and moral.

I think I payed like 40 bucks for the platform (base game that has dlc's meaning unmodded) on steam if I recall Then built and customized my game with mods so it was fully enjoyable setting my own mechanics, introducing new elements into the world make appearances good, and getting it all to work to my satisfaction.
Probably somewhat differently than my last playthrough with many false starts and resources and a lot of tools.
Messing with there skeletons and animations, skin hair eyes, teeth. It took me a week of hours a day to get it running. It always dose. My playthroughs are every six months, and its totally worth it.
You see there is always some new thing or feature that may be fun to try each time, new tools to work with, new followers and content, new things possible and imagined favorite things revisited and looked it in different ways. No playthrough is the same. There is a lot you can do.
My game mostly dose not play by even the standard rules of the vanila game, ''or base legendary'' I find whats wrong, what never should have been and augment it. I see what should have been added and add it. So i cant complain.
I also write out my own walkthrough each time as a rough draft of what i intend to do, and take notes in game.
Skyrim is 100% amazing or can be, but unmodified and I mean above 200 active, and I would stop playing in about a afternoon.
The reason is because everything is ugly and frustrating, by design, dead ends from normal gameplay for some things...like quest givers dying, idiot townsfolk trying to fight dragons, and too many limitations in player choice. Horrible respawn rate, i could go on for 6 pages.
Still decent lore and so much potential. Mods are the other half of the game. With mods to complete it, it is great and sooth, its fun...it takes the base game, the lore and brings it to its true potential.
To answer the question directly, probably about 100 with mods as they are. Because of the potential there, to work with.

There are a few amusing things about the civil war, number 4 would be: how after the war the general tells you to systematically wipe out the stormcloak camps, but in the past when i tried, playing the first time, this could not be completely done.
Number 3 is that: some act as if its still going on after you do it....Would think that would be big news, after you know, a bit.
Number two would is:all the failed former leaders being stuffed into one room, in a never ending tea party with, apparently, the corpse of ulfric storm cloak, eternally presiding over it. No hall of the dead for him. This leads me to believe they all completely lost there minds. Never mind the fact they are all still alive.
The number one oddity would be after you complete the civil war, the general seems to wink at you and imply basically that because of the dominion you and the legions are basically in the wrong the whole time but ...let that be our little secret....I mean, wow.
Edit:
There are mods for some of this.

Games of thrones lore for example, I did not really like or agree with, and I hope endreal is not like that, my philosophical preference in fantasy adventures, is basically classical and not politically correct or new age...that said I consider anything someone puts a lot into, because sometimes people cant/wont help how they think, but still put a lot of fun stuff into loved projects. You can ignore the dogma and propaganda in the art for the fun.
I don't know why I think this conversion my bit like that really, except its a trend with the movie remakes and other projects. Its like they are reinventing them to have something they can fathom and relate to, that seems to fans of the original work perhaps disturbing, or cornball. Or more truly out of context.
I remember when the term new age meant you were a occultist. Gnostic notions. Yeah I seem to rant but, the nature of my mind is analytical when it comes to art, like my second favorite youtube public gameplayer John, would say: Think critically.
I swear he is one of the only dudes out there doing playthroughs that remotely makes sense.
In addition to a very good patter and sense of humor, he provides a public service in my view stopping people from buying those horrible games for 5-20 bucks that just count on barely touched asset packs, and notes written by a 12 year old child with a class project, to make a story.
The thing about mythology and metaphor, is often it tells the truth, even if its not the literal truth. It explains things without the varnish and the wishful thinking, in a raw and straightforward if pleasingly ornate manner.
People don't always know, this but good visionary fiction often has some of the same value, to make people stop and think about the art. Inspired new stuff may be no less valid than an ancient myth retold for its educational value for thousands of years or even some religion.

Putting it on legendary seems to make the game more annoying rather than hard, it makes the npcs run around a lot, as a strategy this bites, it just takes me longer to kill them by a few min if they chicken run through tunnels.
With dragons they simply wont hold still long enough for you to get a lock but the pattern is predictable.They should remain still but dodge attacks, hit really harder, have a lot more health and resistances, but not act like flies and this is what they legendary difficult makes them do.:
Almost just like a fly bothering you, if you hit at it but don't get it, that's basically the pattern it will take...(Maybe legendary, turns them into dragon-flies? hahaha).
The reward for choosing legendary difficult is also massive collateral damage on towns, and holds, the killing of needed npcs and such, best advice is don't use it. Unless you don't care about rp, the story, quests, or anything but a carnage simulator.
The mark essential mods don't work with a lot of cosmetic overhauls like B wives, and war-maidens, so you can have them if you don't mind your game looking god awful. the trade off is not worth it for me because I cant take, given the rest of the art the npcs looking like bad animated automatons.
I mean they almost look like they should be singing its a small world after all, in the base game. Or like they are fantastic as steel, coated with plastic.
I know you can individually mod your npcs and use up many of esp slots while doing so, thereby allow the use of the essential mod, (maybe, maybe not) .
However, for one with many mods all enjoyed, most needed for enjoyment, this is not very wise...that is to use up your slots on cosmetic mods, without consolidating.
You know, wyre bash only dose so much and its very exasperating besides.

Beautiful replica. Grats to the artist. :)

Is Olaf One-Eye a Norse reference to Odin of the asier?
I came across this in skyrim and wondered for a variety of reasons....Most of them circumstantial.
For one, the similarity of the names, the title, the Nord race as depicted in skyrim culture.
Though I know technically in lore its not really Odin, it seems to be a nod in that direction. If so why would it turn out to be...?

There will be an expansion built into Sovngarde that would consist of cells, the worldspace itself I'm still debating on how much to expand upon it since their are some mods that edit the space but since there isn't any big overhaul types for Sovngarde that I know of I might use the worldspace for the mod...still deciding on that aspect. If I do expand upon Sovngarde enough I may even make a world map for the area...though that is undecided as of yet so we will see how things progress and go from there.
You guessed correctly, there will be consequences to using your powers. The bigger powers will have Angels tracking you faster while the smaller abilities will be harder to track. After the Angels have tracked you down they will attack you to try to take you out which is where the risk element of utilizing Angelic Powers will come into play.
The lore elements of the original Nephilim mod will transfer into a more practical setup for the new mod (the Angels tracking you is just one example of this). The lore is also expanded upon since I'm introducing Daemons into the mix now.
Just read the book of Enoch, it details all that in semi symbolic form from christian Apocrypha. Ignore the part about the flood and the bias as well as them being giants, that is metaphorical. Also see the ancient Babylonian religious text and interpretations to learn of these gods for research. The black earth Chronicles is a good place to start as a jumping off point. The author did have a lot of theories crazy ideas but he got more of it right than most do, in my opinion anyway. He references much historical data in any case. Its not as romantic as the apocrypha though for visionary fiction and poetry inspiration. No offense to anyone intended here by the way.

I guess saying "Dog is man's best friend" still stands, even when it comes to modding.
I wont take my Rottweiler hell-hounds or whatever they are into battle, I think its cruelty to animals, You cant avoid hitting them...in the civil war I hit just as many of my own men as the enemy will almost as many and its annoying. I hate friendly fire. i give followers more stats than I give myself so they are not knelling over puking or whatever from friendly fire all the time. If they were not essential they would have course all be dead.
The only PET companion that will work for you >>>

You can call me racist :laugh: Well.. not really. I think that Khajiits are a very useful bunch, with their tails being hollow so that they can smuggle more skooma.
They always struck me as creepy to be honest, they are not like the katta from quest for glory series (a more realistic version), nor are they Egyptian like occult symbols, as I may truly expect, but there voices and many of speaking are creepy. talk to that cat in the dark bothered questline to kill 3 people in the shack, that's probably about right, this is coming from a cat person btw. I am petting one in my lap as we speak.

I know its probably rude to ask, but whats going on with you? Do you plan to be a hermit for four years or join a monastery? That you wont have internet, and why 4 years? I am simply curious.

I always wondered. I saw a Huntress mod where they made her a lovely viking, but it looked like she smeared sand all over her face.
As I understand it skyrim people are not cavemen.
Scars I get, but they really would have the sense to wipe there face, and not let dirt and stuff get in there eyes. To maybe I dont know, jump in a river now and then. They seem to be intelligent people.
Unless they had downs or something, and also liked to pant themselves with there food rather than eat it.
They are not stupid people nor are they primitive really, it just makes no sense. Even a animal tries to clean its face with its paw. Its instinct.
The dirt is made a big deal of...like in a old cbbe mod that had dirt to beauty marks as a option...like the dirt was a permanent feature or something. A defining thing. That is not very realistic.
I am surprised in solitude many of these dirty hippies are allowed in a tailor shop and if they are, that they are allowed to examine the garments on display.
No wonder that radiant raiment woman watches people carefully, shes afraid these mud fairies are going to smear a swatch of filth all over the displayed items examining it after she sat up all night sowing the item, and ruin the inventory.
It probably has nothing to do with her being a elf or otherwise stuck up, its just these people don't have the sense to wipe there own faces and I don't want to think about there bathroom habits, they also probably smell.. but that's neither here nor there.
This is just odd as cod with or without a mod.

''I fell into a burnin' ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire''Aft has a thing so they wont kill each other but I am going to be honest about followers, except for rp in actually combat they are uneeded and basically kill stealers that slow your progress and get hit by you a lot. Unless you like to play beat them to the kill so you can gain your skill. I Might as well face it though, I still like running around with a bunch of Palmer girls. Mostly for eye candy. I keep real followers Mostly in castles, towers and rp places where they make sense. Or maybe patrolling towns and cities.
I guess saying "Dog is man's best friend" still stands, even when it comes to modding.I wont take my Rottweiler hell-hounds or whatever they are into battle, I think its cruelty to animals, You cant avoid hitting them...in the civil war I hit just as many of my own men as the enemy will almost as many and its annoying. I hate friendly fire. i give followers more stats than I give myself so they are not knelling over puking or whatever from friendly fire all the time. If they were not essential they would have course all be dead.
The combat is awkward and I cant seem to make it in a way where a turn based ps2 style 5 man team would be valid. trying that would be really silly. If I did not protect townspeople there would be no population in the game, I cant even up the difficulty without horrible side effects.
The set essential all mods clash with everything. You cant use them. i have to cut back on the number of dragons and disable vampire attacks on towns, there are not but a handful of people as it is, despite my followers running around. The dragonborne should not get all the innocent villagers killed. besides there would be no game.

Well Technically after you kill Harkon there is a very strong chance you are only 1 of 3 known Vampire Lords in existence( A VERY EXCLUSIVE CLUB ) ,It's not the Number's of the clan that make them powerful as they are probably amongst the smallest clans but their power comes from the fact they have so many Vampire Lords...3 or 4 if you become one, Many members of the Clan are Downright Ancient and they can end up with Power over the Sun if you join them and you have proven to be the Most powerful of them Vampire Lords after you defeat Harkon (About them being Ancient there is an Ancient Tome called "Night of Tears" which is written by a Vingalmo) Many believe it is the same Vingalmo in Castle Volkihar and it very well could be stating he could very well be from the First era.
So the Volkihar would see you as a King the other Vampire clans would see you as a Self Proclaimed King, Also as a Dragonborn this physically puts you in the Semi-Divine Status by Default and being a Vampire Lord then on just icing on the case then so in truth the other lesser vampires would see you as either as I said Previously a Self Proclaimed Vampire King or the ES Equivalent of Count Dracula. Well if you are already considered a demi-god like being before becoming a Vampire lord imagine what you are considered after you become one...A god-like being? :laugh: even Clavicus vile says how powerful the DB is compared to him being a Vampire Lord would probably fill that remaining gap between the 2 of them so you would not want to underestimate a Vampire Lord/Dragonborn Combo is capable of as its pretty much the fusion between Lord Harkon and Miraak, Also on a Sidenote the Armor Harkon wears in his Vampire Lord form is called "VampireKingArmor" so you very well could be a King when you defeat him (BONUS POINTS FOR BECOMING A VAMPIRE LORD) As for the reason the other vampire's attack you....why does a farmer attack you? why does anyone attack you? answer most NPCs are too stupid to realize who or what you actually are and they realise their mistake's to soon..
''I am the vampire king i can do anything''
Celine from star ocean second evolution please.
in Mod Ideas
Posted
Celine from star ocean second evolution please, with her dialog and marriageable and calling (thinking) the player character Claude.
Mostly because I was like a lot of people, dissatisfied with the celineXclaude romance track and ending in star ocean second evolution.
I always loved that pairing.
The only satisfying ending I was able to get was with opera vector.
Really disliked rena and her tusandere, Dias loving ways, thanks.
Thing is to get the ''goddess'' celine right would be hard, shes lovely and a vanilla skyrim face would not cut it. She has purple hair and I like her ears from the ps2 portrait better ''had to change them in the remake to make Rena feel unique''
She has a strange mage outfit, it would need to use advance textures/extended skeleton, and such I suppose.
She could be a replace for the haughty radiant raiment woman, that's about the right attitude if you can get her to say ''darling'' a lot like in the ps2 version.
The one thing I disliked about the remake was removing Celine eccentricity.
Anyway I wont hold my breath here, but its worth a shot to at least ask.
