Thank you, I apologize for my ignorance on the subject.

Since it appears Skyrim will have better graphics than the original, would it be unreasonable to assume that item modding will be much more difficult, and thus we will have fewer item mods? They have been one of my main reasons for visiting the nexus, and I'm sure the same is true for a number of different people here as well. Have any modders considered this?

For me, it starts normally but when I get to the main menu the menu UI doesn't load. Anyone else having this problem?

Just because he says that doesn't necessarily make it true, Crytek said the same thing and look what we got. :/

Yes but we might be less happy with it. :P

I know this was said days ago but I have to make a point here just to shed some light on what I feel is a major miscommunication going on here. PC and Console "elitists" aside, What I see from a lot of the people upset about this, and this could be wrong, is that people who play this game on the PC version are worried about the legitimate concerns in the reduction of quality of their version of the game. I understand that you like to play this game with controllers, but myself and lot's of other people who play it prefer using mouse an keyboard. I own an Xbox and Wii, in fact I was a hardcore Console gamer before I got into PC gaming. But now I don't play on either of them because I found much more enjoyment in playing games on the PC. But does that mean that the Xbox and Wii are not enjoyable or an inferior medium for gaming then the PC? No, to each there own, some people really get immersed in games when relaxing on a couch rather then staring at a screen 2 feet in front of them, and that hold just as much value to them as being very close to the action of a game on a monitor. In your posts on this topic you come across as sounding incredibly arrogant and "elitist" as well, righting a very long paragraph about how many consoles you play and how that makes your way of playing the game more valid then others, and then in the paragraph right below it you talk down to someone about putting on the "banner of PC gaming" as a cape. Again, that might not be what you were intending but it sure came across that way. Can people please just stop budding heads over this stuff and respect that other people might have differences in play-style and things that fulfill them in general. It only creates unproductive flame wars. :/

It probably has nothing to do with your load order, they just released an update for the game that caused the script extender to stop working, no one's game is working. You might want to try waiting and then downloading the updated version from this link: http://nvse.silverlock.org/

I don't know, but I'm having the same problem as you. It crashes whenever I load a save, or try to make a new game. I don't have Book of Earache, and I disabled Armor by Race. Who knows what other mods the patch broke? =/ What a shame, looks like people are going to have to spend a long time using process of elimination to even start playing again, unless the guys at NVSE can pull off something miraculous. :(

My game CTD whenever I load a save. :/ Would book of earache finally be rendered defective with this latest patch?

How so? People would still need PC to create those mods, and PC would still allow the most flexibility in mod creation and use since mods would not have to pass a "50-point" inspection from both the game company and the console company before it could be used. Most of the mods with explicit content won't ever be brought to console. Most of the mods which contain trademarked elements would never be brought to console. Many people would still play the PC version just because it is more natural to them, allows for higher detail/quality. Just let marketing and blind fanboyism take care of the rest, that small advantage will mean nothing. I'm not a PC "elitist" per say, I would like it if every console had support to make it the best it can be, but unfortunately PC gaming is suffering greatly in that category. If you look at comparisons between the graphics of popular console/pc games, the difference is negligible. When he said Skyrim would look the same, he meant it. Just look at the Xbox/Ps3 versions of Fallout New Vegas compared to the PC version, they look almost exactly the same. I can get my game to look amazing, but it gets around 60-30 fps, with no frame rate drop at all when recording lossless video quality, which to me (although I might be pretty ignorant in this assumption) seems like a lack of optimization. And again graphics don't make the game for a lot of people, but they sure do increase immersion. the whole UI and menu complaint is something I never understood, it works flawlessly for me. Again though, I think the reason why a lot of people complain about console ports is not because the consoles get a good version (although a lot of them do) , it's because they want the PC version of their games to continue to be high quality, which stops happening when there are less people buying PC games. Just my pessimistic two cents.

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/298926/news/skyrim-pc-mods-may-hit-consoles/ What do you guys think of this? This to me will be absolutely disastrous to the PC version of the game if it works out. To be honest, if I start modding in Skyrim (which I'm planning to do at this point)., I really don't want my work to be ported over to the xbox or ps3 period, especially if I'm not paid. Although it still remains to be seen if this will work out.
