So I am wanting to play more of a group based thing in Skyrim. You know where I have to wander around and collect interesting companions who will help me face the many dangers of Skyrim. What I am wondering is what mods would you all suggest to help me tailor this experience? I have the following to help to this end OBIS ~ Makes Game more Difficult than Legendary Difficulty UFO ~ Must Have Immersive Patrols ~ Large and I mean LARGE roving bands of whatever you may face. Touring Carriages ~ This may seem out of place but is nice touch when you have like 4 or 5 followers all in the Cart with you Civil War Overhaul ~ Again to some may seem out of place, but you will appreciate having these followers when you have a large squad of Stormcloaks bearing down on you I really like having it feel like I need these people to help me survive. Oh I am also looking for suggestions for good followers, like Ceridwen. Ones that bring more to the game than a set of stats and mechanics, ones that make the game feel more real. My Added follower Mods (Just installed them) Ceridwen Companions and Followers

So I remember having 2 Storm Atronach, Volendruug, Helm of C Vile, Ebony Mail, all equipped and a Vigilant of Stendar giving me a blank stare when I walked past him and thinking "Why arent they trying to kill me for blatant daedra worship".... I want to see a mod where the Vigilant of Stendarr come after you more and more for each daedric artifact you own, and will come after you for mastering conjuration (Where you enslave a draemora if you are a member of the college). These are all legendary feats and they damn well should know about them.

AEO Is Beautiful! Thank you!

This mod sounds incredible. I am planning to run a let's play "Surviving Skyrim" and not being the Dovakiin is a big part of it. The guy is just supposed to be "Gills Bears" the Argonian survivalist who came to Skyrim for a thrill. Running into Dovahkiin would be hilarious.

I want something that like makes flaming weapons on fire, adds pulsing electricity to shock weapons, permafrost coming off of cold weapons. In vanilla all that it has is small runes that activate when the weapon hits something. Now I also think it would be cool to add some sort of visual element to enchantments on Armor. I don't really have any suggestions for this but maybe like a light shadowy effect on fort sneak and stuff like that...

So I can't seem to find mods that just add color to existing enchantments for weapons and armor. Well I mean it would be fine if it was just for weapons. I need it to work with SkyRE but I cant find one at all.

This is just a lore thing. Dragons have been dead for a very long time if you follow the lore, but Daedra, Werewolves, and Vampire. are threats that have been around for a long time. There are Daedra hunters because they didn't show up just last week like the dragons did. What I would love to see if "Noob Hunters" a bunch of guys with leathers and long bows trying to down a dragon and getting owned because they are all their small village could muster.

Okay I am a little overwhelmed by BOSS, can someone explain what I am looking at? These plugins are recognised by BOSS and have been sorted according to its masterlist.

Okay so I found boss, and now I dont actually know what its telling me to do.... I am so confused D:

Whats BOSS?

Some reason I can't eat Dragon Souls. Like I have a few mods in, including SkyRe, Hunterborn, Frostfall, Real Needs and Diseases, Skyrim Patch, Dragonborn Patch, Ultimate Combat, Run for Your Lives, and When Vampires Attack. These didnt cause me any problems before and it wouldn't be a problem but I am trying to slay the First Dragon and it wont let me.

Well I so far had 7 new perks and more being mulled over. Fast Talk - Can begin dialogue with none hostile. Starts with ability to pay then to replace calm with non-combatant (like any town folk) I Yield, I Yield! - Calms a foe for 10 seconds and enters fast talk. Shor's Mercy! - Calms all nearby foes for 20 seconds and enters fast talk with target. All three of these are unlimited use but cost stamina. Was thinking 15, 25, 45 respectively. Non-Combatant - Allows you to persuade foes instead of pay them to let you be. Dependant on Speechcraft skill. Terrifying Presence - Allows you to Intimidate foes instead of pay them. Depends in Speechcraft. Failure breaks debuffs. Favor of Coin - Allows you to pay foe to add fury effect to them. This is risky because they may attack you first. Man For Hire - Pay for to join your team. Turns them into mercenaries. Infuriate - Persude foe to add fury

I was thinking about making speech branch off into Persusion, Tactics, and Mercantile. Persuiasion would have skills that expand you speech options (Fast Talker allowing you options like "Okay I submit" and you pay them to stop attacking. But this is costly as you have to do it per foe. Or multiple perks to expand on that allowing you to pay foes to send them into a rage, or persuade them to rage.) Tactics would enhance followers and allow you to have I was thinking 2-5 followers at one time. Mercantile is essentially what is in the game now.

Well I took the long complicated route of Disabling all my mods and reactivating them 1 by 1... I still dont know what did it but I have Sapphire up and running.

Do i have to type out the name of all the mods I have active cuz thats so time consuming..... Cuz I have a lot of other mods installed.

You know thats what I thought, but I disabled it and it did nothing. I tried with the patch and still nothing

That just made it crash more suddenly.... Still only on females.

Okay so I just added SkyRe and the mods it suggested and now when I try to change from male to female during character creation it crashes out on me. I get to character creation, I go through each of the races and its fine, but as soon as I change gender it crashes.... Help please I added Stave of Skyrim Vamp Skin Color Fix Dreamcloth Add-on Lorecraft Character Creation Overhaul SkyRe Broadsword Perks SkyRE Perk tomes Community uncapper Deadly Dragons Climents of Tamriel Catagorized Favorites Menu Immersive HUD These are what I just added, as well as SkyRe

Well that sounds interesting enough. I just downloaded Cerwiden, though I think I want a fighter companion because I want someone to be able to defend me. I still really want to see this quest line (or a few quests) written and if anyone can help me like implement it into the game I could certainly do the story board ideas.

Yea it looks like a much needed mod, though I wonder does it negate the need for mods like Hunterborn, RN&D, Frostfall, Apocolypse Spells, and like a large number of mods that I have?

Oh I see, this mod looks incredible. Okay well I will have to try it out.

SkyRe?

So am I the only one bothered by how utterly useless this skill is? It adds a few nice cantrips, but doesn't nearly tap into the potential of what a true life word smith can do. We see all the time in movies, cinematics, and books a character smart enough to talk enemies down and sometimes hire them on the spot to kill their "friends". Now I think this should be relatively simple to write, but I am not familiar with the creation kit and it seems a little overwhelming. I was wondering if I could get someone to either make it for me, or help me figure out how to write this. I have 7 perks written up in concept I just need to learn how to apply it to the game through the creation kit. Any modders want to help me out?

Almost every single one of them will flip through books at times. But I am just wondering why I have never seen a mod for Spell Grimoire which are like staves.

So it just occured to me... why are there no like spell books or something that you can equip and use the spell form the book as though it were a staff? Or even just a retexture of staves to make them look like open books and maybe add some audio to it to make it sounds like you are reciting an incantation.
