"how many hits should enemies take to kill" or in general Damage // Armor balancing is one hell of a task. Every player got a different taste and it's impossible to please all of them. Let me try to write down my thoughts.... Heavy armor greatly reduces the damage of arrows and thats fine. But what about 1h edged weapons (daggers, swords)? One handed slashing weapons (daggers and swords only) should see the same damage reduction on heavy armor then arrows do. Skyrim has no stabbing animation! So how much should slashing with a dagger or sword against full heavy armor do? I am no middle age weapons scientist or something like that but a dagger or sword can not pierce heavy armor. So giving 1h daggers and swords the same damage reduction as arrows vs heavy armor would be realistic On the other hand increase the damage of blunt weapons against heavy armor. Blunt weapons are made to cause injuries through plate armor. I left out 1h axes in particular. I know an axe is an edged weapon. An axe does concentrates its force into the axe head. This is due to the heavy weight of the axe head. Becaus of thats its possible to convert much more power into an attack. Making it possible to damage heavy armor more then daggers and swords do. This only covers 1h melee damage vs heavy armor. This is just my basic thought and there's so much more. This is the first time someone actually asked what i like or want. Sadly i have no knowledge how to make a mod or something like that. I cant really help you, except for some basic inspiration, i'm sorry.

We dont need mods for things that are already in our heads. If you want to play a thief class , just roleplay and NEVER go OoC. Its simple, no mods needed. :smile: I dont know where to start.... As for overhauls, i want something that takes away the "arcade hack'n'slay feel". Dont hate me but Skyrim has barely any RPG elements. Skyrims melee combat feels like unreal tournament...with swords. I love RPGs and i love to play warriors with huge weapons. Skyrim ruined that for me. Who ever played Dark Souls....knows how a combat system has to play out :smile:. The crime system also needs a good change. You kill 10 people, pay some gold and its fine? That just nonesene to me. The crime system is so superficial. My elf mage is pretty much a mass murderer. I should lose my house in Whiterun and also the Thane title. Or even get banned from the whole Whiterun Hold, maybe even more. The fact the people still act normal after i killed 10 people in the middle of Whiterun just blows my mind. And how the hell do the guards in Winterhold know that the bread in my inventory is stronen? At the moment i'm playing with SkyRe and so far its okay. I'm playing a mage and it was fine for most parts. But now i am well geared and got destruction magic up to 120. 95% of all enemies die with just one cast. I play on legendary. This takes away the fun, because i love hard games. Destruction magic need rebalance and rescaling. Another thing is Robes vs Light Armor on a mage...there's no need to wear robes. With light armor my mage has more defence (i can take 2 arrows now), get EXP from wearing light armor (slightly faster leveling), and more exposure protection (Frostfall). And with Robes...sure there's dreamcloth but the extra stuff from enchanting is not worth the pain. So far i can only talk about SkyRe and Mages, thats what i play at the moment. I made my game as hard and curel but also as realistic as possible. But still there are flaws. The dragon AI is just brainless! Archers seem to have aimbots and one shot me. But i rather take 15 tries to clear a bandit camp then just breeze through it. This is what came up straight in my head...sure thereÄs more but its enough for now. The thing is that SkyRe is a lot less difficult then Requiem, which sounds like what you're looking for. I think it's harder to find something in between the two - difficult, but not impossible, with the fun of SkyRe but the balance and some of the hardcoreness of Requiem. I have yet to play Requiem. But my current mod setup with SkyRe is really hardcore and punishing. If i make a mistake, i pay with my life. If i walk blind into a mudcrab, it will mostly kill me in 2-3 hits, due to the insane scaling. I will try Requiem on my next Skyrim RP to see what fits my playstyle better.

I had the same problem. Most dungeon enemes did not rect to me, as if their AI was disabled. Setting up Sands of time properly and reducing the script calls a bit, fixed this issue. I hope it helps.

I had the same issue a few weeks ago. And not only in Skyrim...loved it when it happendin the middle of a teamfight in league of legends. It happend due to my gpu diver crashing. I went back to the lastest stable driver and no problems since then. My advice is, check your divers and dont use any beta drivers, like i did.

What do you mean by "gaming pc"? What kind of games do you want to play and how? Do you prefer intel or amd? Dont buy a prebuild system with such a budget. Look at your old pc and see which parts are recyclable.

I second that! This game is a nightmare. The developers dont do s#*!. "Oh there are major problems with cars...lets just reduce the amount of cars to the point where no one can find them, FIXED" Or "Hey guys i got banned on your beta servers for no reason, can you please take a look whats wrong there? thanks" It took them 2 weeks to REPLY! And all those hackers...jesus...why...it's so sad. Zombie survival games are pretty straight forward....how can they f*#@ it up so bad. My lads and i have palyed over 100 hours and we had good and bad times but i wont touch this game again, never again.

I listen to all kinds of music. But i recently started to listen to Ys OST when i ride my road racer. Theres something about that music that seems to unlock something that keeps me going untill the bitter end. !COMMENTS MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS TO YS GAMES!

So which game are you playing now :)?

"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime" I just repacked another mod with succes! REPACK ALL THE MODS :D. To be true there are not that many but its good to know, just in case. I will not change from Wrye to another Mod Manager, atleast not now. I have my setup running and i am happy, i dont want to break it. Wyre never disappointed me :). Its kinda sad that i use Wyre since oblivion and dont really know much about it.

That would be awesome. And it would be even better if we could ride a unicorn on that rainbow!

I have the same issue! Especially while dual casting. It looks like my Mage is holding his hands right in front of his face. It was okay at first but after 90 hours of dual casting firebolts it's annoying. So a first person animation replacer would be awesome. Sadly i don't know anything about, actually creating a mod. :(

Thanks for your reply. I still don't understand it, but I am a little narrow minded when it comes to technical stuff. Bare with me. I will save manually more often now. And i will give that guide you posted a good read when I got the time. Thanks

Hey I just played Skyrim for about 6 hours straight! No problems. And i ended up in some bandit cave and i cant sleep. When i try to sleep, i CTD! Now i had to role back to my last save....6 hours ago. After rolling back to my last manual save, it worked again. What causes the game to end up like this? Can someone explain this to me? Or atleast try to explain it, becuase i dont get it. Does the game wearout over time like the breaks on my mountainbike? Just please help me understand this... I mean if mods are the problem it would happend everytime i would sleep, but thats not the case. It happend randomly in that bandit cave. Why? How can i prevent this? One thing is sure, i will maually save more often... Regards, a very pissed Chris.
