  1. I really miss Troika games. They made Arcanum , Temple of Elemental Evil, and Vampire: Bloodlines which are great games for their time. Although, they haven't aged so well. It really is too bad they don't get remastered by the IP owners.

     

    I'd argue that all of them aged great, given the horribly buggy state they were released in and the hardworking modders that released/continue to release patches. You're definitely better off playing them now than you were at launch anyway. :tongue:

     

    Plus, it's not a remaster but we're getting Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 next year... which I'm tentatively hyped for. Very tentative. (I really hope they don't mess up Malkavians...)

  2. I know I owned a SNES as a small child but I don't remember what games I played on it (the only thing I do remember about it was sticking coins in the game slot... which I think was what ended up break it)... so that's unfortunate.

     

    The first game I actually do remember playing was Turok: Dinosaur Hunter for the N64 (not by choice, it came with the console). Quite a violent game for a young child (and I think where my fear of raptors originated from). :P

  3. *Head-scratch* Well, I may as well offer my 2 cents even if I don't have a definite answer for you... Some input is better than no input, I s'pose.

     

    1. You have around 250+ mods - that's a lot of mods. Do you use BOSS to sort them? Perhaps it takes awhile for your game to sift through all those scripts in order to find the correct one.

     

    2. Have you removed many mods on that save file? Script data stays in that save file forever, even if you uninstall and remove that mod. Try starting a new game - do you still have that delay?

     

    There, 2 cents. I hope you find out what's wrong. I've never had that problem (my Skyrim prefers to immediately CTD :P ) so I'm not too much help.

     

    ...

     

    Hmm, wait. You're using Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE), right? I just wanna make sure I've covered everything I can cover, since SKSE is pretty much a necessity.

  4. Well, this is my newest (and so far - favourite character). She has done... well... absolutely nothing, I suppose. I think she finished a few small side quests but other than that I've just been exploring with her. Since she's new she doesn't have much of a story as of yet... I might put up a longer story for fun or I might forget. I kind of took her personality from Houtarou Oreki from Hyouka. :P

     

    I prefer to think she has absolutely no connection with the Dragonborn as well.

     

    Name: Sylvia

    Race: Lunari (since it's so easy to make a pretty character with them! :biggrin:)

    Specialization: Archery

     

    Short Description: A lazy wanderer and, when she's in need of gold for whatever reason, a reluctant (yet efficient) mercenary - Sylvia lives life at her own pace, preferring the company of the countryside and its sights to the loud and foul-smelling atmosphere of the local tavern/inn. Although she rarely ever goes out of her way to help or hinder others, if she sees a problem that could be easily solved by an arrow then that's where the arrow will go.

  5. Confused Adventurer:

     

    Kills the emperor

    Joins the Legion

    Also, confused Emperor:

     

    Thinks he can has a last wish

    Asks the Listener to kill his employer.

     

    I take you dont know much about the Dark Brotherhood i guess?

    Pfft, I still did it. Screw that employer guy, the old dude met his fate with dignity. :thumbsup:

     

    Also... uh, shouldn't this be under the spoilers section?

  6. I wish they had more reactions in the game.

    I just wish they had more little things to make you feel like your a Dragon born, because when people look at you there just like "Oh hello" and there on with their business.

    Do you get to the Cloud District very often? Oh, what am I saying - of course you don't. :hurr:

     

    Also, what's a fizzer? :psyduck:

  7. The civil war will probably be continued in a DLC, not the next game.

    I'm talking about in lore, like in the history books in the next game. How will Bethesda decide which side won in lore? Whichever side they pick, they'll annoy a lot of people.

    Maybe they'll annihilate each other and a new kind of government will be established... or be set so far in the future that the details are sketchy ...or be overshadowed by tales of the Dragonborn and Alduin... :psyduck:

  8. I only recently found out about this game... Totally gonna check it out later...

     

    Anyway, I always find it slightly irritating when people jump straight to "you stole X from Y!" despite the fact that, if you stop to think about it, there's nothing revolutionary about the idea to begin with. It's basically common sense...

    Guess what, the open world has some similarities with TES worlds as well. It's structured on levels just like in TES, at least for most things. It looks like they managed to make small villages open-world (kinda like they are in Skyrim, eg Riverwood, Falkreath, etc.) but everything bigger still requires loading of a new level.

    Nothing new here. I dare say almost every RPG has this,

     

    However, the apex of the plagiarism is attained by the map. Guess what, it has a similar structure to Oblivion's map (guess they couldn't figure out how to make it 3d, Skyrim style). Guess what, it has a local map function that works EXACTLY like in Skyrim. Guess what, you can FAST TRAVEL to each discovered location, be it a town or a dungeon of some sort. And it goes on: there's a quest menu that works pretty similarly to skyrim's, including having a pointer to whatever quest thing you need to do on the map. The only difference is the quests are partitioned by type.

    Dude, it's a map. Maps are like that. As for fast travel, it doesn't take a genius to think of something so mundane and Bethesda wasn't the first to think of it. Quest journal? Nothing new there either.

     

    Anyway, I'm pretty sure there are a lot MORE similarities to find (ex: armor degrades and needs to be repaired just like in Oblivion, you have alchemy, blacksmithing, mercantile and other familiar names as skills), etc.

    Should they change those names to something 'round about just so they don't get compared to Skyrim? "Hmm, I want to call it blacksmithing but Skyrim uses that... so... I'll call it Metallic-Goods-Forging!"

     

    I'd go on but honestly, I'm tired... and my post looks pretty rude. My apologies, I'll word it better next time. :whistling:

  9. And that is why I only use dead thralls. They are only slightly dumber than normal followers and I can repeatedly kill them whenever I feel like if they start screwing things up. The moaning and begging for death is a bit distracting at times though.

     

    Dead thralls are a lot more convenient: they can be resurrected, carry unlimited burden, scale with you always, don't use crappy weapons instead of good ones, don't have annoying conversations and only moan from time to time, and finally much more powerful.

    But they have the personality of a corpse, unlike the other followe-... Actually, never mind. They're just plain better. :dry:

  10. Besides, why is being a werewolf out of character? Werewolves aren't necessarily evil, it's not like the Companions go around killing innocent people in werewolf form, it's just a power they sometimes use when outnumbered in battle.

    Role-play value, I suppose. His character (and he himself) wouldn't willingly become a werewolf because... well, he doesn't like them. It's like being offered the ability to turn into a papaya... on one hand, it's not like you're forced to turn into a papaya and it'd be handy for... uh... hiding from people? Er, anyway, even though you may not use the ability you're still some weird half-human half-papaya person.

     

    ... Is that a bad example? :psyduck:

  11. The CK isn't a program that you can just download to your computer. It's more of a... state of mind. A way of living your life that emphasizes peace, enlightenment, and love for your fellow man. The CK is a metaphor for a moral existence; we should stop waiting for someone to just hand it to us, and start creating our own CK here on Earth.

    That's so deep. :armscrossed:

  12. How, hey about , you know since I saved the world now, do you think you could get your tailor to give me some decent threads? This arch-mage robe itches..

     

     

    Robes pfft, you don't know discomfort until you wear Daedric armor, i got a Daedric heart riding up my crack. :unsure:

    Nothing chafes like Nightingale Armor, man. Especially when you're sneaking around... :sweat:

     

    Er, back on topic. I really don't mind not being given Psiijic robes, it's not like we're on good terms... they just decided to help out a bit and then steal the giant ball of awesome from me.

     

    ... On the other hand, I want the Greybeard's robes! Surely they could spare some threads for the Dovahkiin. :biggrin:
