  1. "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.

    Ya' know, wouldn't it be interesting to have an overhaul that introduced the old TES classes...

    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.

  4. 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.

  5. I'm going to say Infestation: Survivor Stories.

     

    It attempted to capture the appeal of the DayZ mod in a standalone game (before the official DayZ was announced). It started it's life called WarZ, but had a name change shortly thereafter because of the initial caustic reviews.

    It's a multiplayer zombie game set in an open world, and you generally survive in the sandbox. It sounds hard to mess up, but... omg... There are so many flaws the game is barely playable.

     

    First, the graphics. I know graphics aren't usually a big deal, but this game wasn't even compatible with anisotropic filtering, not even forced in your drivers. The max object LoD setting was about 10 feet in front of your character, and the textures were so poorly made it appears the developers just pasted stock photos on top of their models. Despite the fact that it released on 2013 and looked worse than most games from 2005, it required a GTX 680 to keep it above 30 fps everywhere, it's possibly the worst optimized game to ever exist. Furthermore, you didn't have any warning about how bad the graphics were, because the developers literally advertised with screens from a different version of the game than the players had. Their version actually looked good, and used entirely different models, textures, and lighting. It's anyone's guess why they never implemented those graphics in the real game. Possibly because with their horrific optimization, the good looking version of the game would have required a couple GTX 780s in SLI to run above 30 fps.

     

    Then, you have the "open world sandbox". The "open world" was actually about 1/10 the size of Skyrim, because you could walk (not run, mind, but walk at a snail's pace) from one side to the other in a matter of minutes. There was one map in the entire game, and the developers still could not polish it reasonably well because there were vast barren areas.

     

    The community was entirely awful, possibly because everyone realized that the game was boring as all hell. Almost every other player attempted to kill you on sight, and thanks to rampant lag, usually both people fighting killed each other. That's without considering the many aimbots and cheaters that populated the servers, gunning down dozens of other players in mere seconds, and making virtually every server unplayable. You couldn't just jump to a secure server, because there were no secure servers. The DRM was barely functioning. It failed to install on my machine, and then let me play the game anyway. On the forums that was not a rare occurrence. Fully 1 in 3 players was able to play without DRM simply because it failed to install properly and they could somehow launch the game and connect to servers anyway. It would, however, kick the players who did have the DRM successfully installed out of their game for running applications in the background, like Fraps, or the Windows Media Player, or the Steam overlay that came with the game itself.

     

    Not surprisingly, Valve was really cool about this and started taking refunds for this POS. Also not surprisingly, the company that made the game was vindictive and banned most of the people who got a refund from ever buying the game again. Not that most of them would want to anyway.

     

    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 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.

  7. 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. :(

  8. 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

  9. 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.

  10. I second Dead Space, great series. I also enjoyed Dishonored and Borderlands 2 GOTY (4 player co-op ITS MADNESS)

     

    And one of the best fps games ever is System Shock 2. Its an action role-playing survival horror FPS with a GREAT story.

    System Shock 2 is quite old and it takes some time to get used too but it worth in the end :).

  11. It started with games like Pokemon, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy, Secret of Mana....the list goes on. 16 bit at its finest.

    And after that, Blizzard carved my life. How much time can you spent on Diablo 2, Starcraft and World of Warcraft?

    More then you actually have. But my gaming "addiction" faded away due to the fact that most games nowadays are low quality.

    Nowadays i play Skyrim and League of Legends.

  12. Chrono Trigger has a beatiful and stunning OST. Its my favorite.

     

    !COMMENTS MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS!

    At the Bottom of the Night

    To Far Away Times

    Frogs Theme

    My list could go on and on. I could list all 64 songs. They are just that good and untouchable.

     

    Another great series with awesome music is Y's.

    Genesys Beyond the Beginning from Ys Origin

    Scars of the Divine Wing also from Ys Origin

     

    Last but not least i want to mention two song that are burned into my brain...

    Invincible from World of Warcraft..."no king rules forever my son"...memories.

    And Boat Quay Town from Maplestory. I dont know what it is but this song is so mellow and relaxing, almost like ... heaven.

     

  13. I would reload an earlier save and see if it broken again.

    If that does not work, i would use tcl to get through there and then teleport erandur to me.

    If things get dirty, i would skip that part of the quest via console.

     

    I hope it helps

  14. Fancy guide, you a wizard or something?

     

    At first i was like....

    I will save your guide in my "Omg why is this s*** not working D: - readme file"

    You really helped me. I thank you for your time and effort. You actually downloaded the mod and actually did it... thats so kind (no homo) :tongue:

     

    The mod works, for once i did not f*** s*** up...

  15. Hello :)

     

    I would like to use this mod: NPC Knockout Overhaul !

    Since i only use Wrye Bash and the mod itself is in NMM/FOMOD, i have a problem.

     

    I know, it's possible to repack this mod so it will work with Wrye Bash and i want to know how.

    So i would appreciate if someone would be so kind and give me some help, advise or guidance.

     

    Thanks
