good luck guys. keep up the good work.

i couldn't care less about ads and ranking system, but the endorsement and achievement system changes might impact the site in a veeery bad way and i reeeeeally don't think faster bandwidth is the solution for it. (or may not, who knows) now i say this because, you see, i'm one of the ppl who doesn't care about speeds. I have 1mb/ps connection (for downloading) and it's considered to be one of the fastest regular home connection in my country (also expensive) which i'm sure this situation applies to many many others out there. for years I've been a happy member of nexus. I've downloaded countless number of mods for many purposes. Some were just for the heck of it, some i can't live with out it. now i can tell; If you want more endorsement ratio for mods, first of all, cut the waiting time for the mod we've downloaded... say 30 minutes instead of 1 hour. Other than that if you overhaul the system, even if it is a golden advantage for the new mods, it'll be veeery complicated and unfair for older mods (especially for morrowind/oblivion ones i think) besides how many mods does ppl tends to run at the same time in their game and how many ppl needs 1,5mb/ps bandwidth limit is a very cheesy math. And vast majority of the popular mods is not bigger than 50mb. So Bandwidth speed variants doesn't really make any big difference. (maybe a minute or so?) also i can tell that bandwidth/upload/download restrictions are not welcome in any form for mod makers. See for yourself, " Interesting NPCs ", a Skyrim mod, and how they struggle with upload/download. it is a very popular and very well done mod but they are bottlenecked because of these kinds of things. i'm not sure if this is fair. so what do? suggestions? 1st) now, i'm no expert on these things but why don't you speed up only the mods that requires you to download certain amount of size ... say like 250-500mb. and this might be applied to the file of month and hot files section also. Also if a file/mod exceeds some certain endorsement requirement you might also provide extra bandwidth for it. Rest of the mods, all of them, are fine in my book. This would give ppl and mod makers alike, pleasant advantages. no? 2nd) I've been using services of a site called Grooveshark for a while now. that site has some optional surveys connected to their premium membership system. more surveys = more money = better membership = more content. simple. i don't see any reason why you wouldn't implement the same system to nexus for people who can't pay for various reasons and wants ad-free & faster speed experience. Win-win. Think about it.

Not only the certain numerous files but i'm having "incomplete" issue with many others (say like %20 of the files that i try to download). The only solution that (sometimes) works is deleting old incomplete downloaded file parts manually on \mods\downloads. By doing so, i'm forced to re-download the file via NMM but this might not also solve the issue always. edit: and ofcourse not to mention, there's always "downlad manually" option.

Everyone thinks giants are bugged in Skyrim. I say they found a new way to use the Scroll of Icarian Flight. Now it's a big fuss to talk about -flying arround- but i already did the same thing back in old game Morrowind. People who thinks magic in morrowind sucked didn't comprehend the simplest idea of magic just like Skyrim didn't. What happened to good old teleporting ? mark and recall ? Water Walking ? Night eye ? Flying ? Levitating ? Burden ? Slow falling ? Feather ? Spell making ? Elemental resists ? locking ? unlocking ? reflect ? Absorb ? silence ? Blind ? chameleon ? Swift swim ? detect key ? detect enchantments ? Curses ? Blights ? Dispels ? cure diseases, poisoning, paralyze, blights ? What in the earth happened to fortify attack / attribute / skill ? damn... it doesn't even even conjure up a simplest of helmet or armor for cold nights... But i'm sure it's much more important to enchant fire weapons and shoot lightnings and fireballs out of your... your... mouth. what happened to the idea of levitation in buildings instead of using stairs ? what happened to the idea of big giant flying rock prison which is impossible to escape? What happened to the giant mushroom cities ? tree cities ? mud covered settlements ? tented civilizations of ugly creatures -rieklings? a hell of a big magical castle made out of snow ? Where are the cities built on the water surface at feet of a god whose living among them and devoted it's name to him which is even big enough to lose track of time while jumping one canton to another and sneaking in severs? now everywhere looks like Caldera and all dungeons are crypts or dwemmers built near mountains. what in the earth happened to stilt riders ? what happened to Netch -big jellies flying around ? Where are the kwamma mines ? kwamma eggs ? mudcrab merchants ? rich scamp merchants ? pack guars ? ogrims ? winged twilights ? dreugr ? what the hell happened to lovely smexy golden saints that we all fear to go near them ? yeah, i quess. They just extinct and evolve in to the chickens and oxes. please do tell me for the sake of a spark of genious ; what happened to the signs which we couldn't even understand it's language at first sight and ask for help around town for directions ? What happened to honest barterers ignoring you when for they fear if you would try to trade moon sugar or skooma and get their hands on trouble ? How can we become arch mage without any study of spell making or let alone flying and to be able to (if not barely) cast only flame spell? What happened to the habbit of naming gold coins to Septims? Broken gears over time ? chance based speechcraft and taunting -wasn't it for the sake of enjoyment when we swear in the face of an orc and let the guards silence him? what happened to understanding of athletics to outlast 10 year old kid and being capable of ninja jumps with acrobatics? For sanities sake ; where are the spears? But no. now it's only about damaging dragons by standing still and raising shields to it. not even chance to dodge. Yes; i admit Skyrim is a wonderful game which is a real bless for all of us. Yes i admit i'm playing Skyrim non stop since 11.11.11 and realy enjoying it. Yes i admit there are jaw breaking enhances to almost every aspect of gameplay since morrowind/oblivion and importing bioshock ( even tho not better spells ) actions to TES series. But we must understand, Even tho on the same world, Morrowind and Syrim are far different games as they have different understandings for fantasy game. And sadly Skyrim feels more cliche on my part for only creatures there to face are trolls, some undead bunch, some regular beasts and well known dragons. The only things in game that keeps me going is questing, for i love TES lore therefore i realy appriciate the Skyrim in this matter and also beautiful game engine that makes the game look unbelievably beautiful.

from my experience (master difuculty), flying blood dragons and ancient dragon tends to grab people on high grounds such as archer towers or a big rock masses like mountains etc. etc. i've seen my own death- blown away by a dragon even when in full hp & 200+ armor. It's more likely to occur if the player is actually on a higher ground than the dragon. But i believe they only do this rare event when the character not running around and blocking. I've also seen that dragons chewing off things and throwing them far away when in ground. But i don't know if they grab any random alive thing while flying just like giant shown in e3 video.

@arthmoor QUOTE "Actualy, according to what you initially asked for, it is, but you've now switched up and are asking for something different " Not realy no. In both of my previous comments, i clearly mentioned an absence of installation order software which handles the order automaticly. Or even a simple guide that would help us to manually order our list. Therefore BAIN clearly is not an option in this relevant matter. ( Also let us not forget there are workaround ways to sort OMOD installer in OBMM when we're saying sorting the installers order manually in bain is a powerfull thing to do) I'm sorry but; You sir just didn't quite read my post carrefully. edit: I don't know how to make quote things. Sory.

@Arthmoor - I'm sory to say but Bain is NOT what i'm looking for. Bain only allows me to manually change my mod installers orders. i want something more practical as i use more than hundreds of mods (also we shouldn't forget that wyre bash can't handle shader mods). Unexperienced modders such as me (even tho i know my way around wrye) always in need of something like 'automatic installation order sorter' or 'installation order sorting guide'... Or, is there any such feature on bain that i still don't know ?

I've been modding my oblivion from scratch for over two weeks by now and i still couldn't get over issues of installation orders. Yes, OBMM and BOSS (also wrye) handles your load order pretty well for sure. But I can't blieve there isn't a tool released for instalaltion order (there isn't even a written guide or a database like descriptions as functional as BOSS). all you can the is to read the readmefiles of everymod and pray there isn't any istallation order conflicts. frans, ooo, cobl, fcom, raewvd, awls, obge, uop, quarl, hgec, bbc, etc...etc... and i'm not even including big projects like morroblivion or tamriel hightmaps: just look at the readmes of these and tell me; do we realy don't need any intallation order sorter software ? i don't realy care for feautures of favouriting mods and downloading them instantly or any such cool features that is going to be offered with this new software just as long as it sorts my installation order. And PLEASE put the shader supoort like OBMM. A whole reason to not to use wrye bash.
