Good luck all!

[PC games are you playing currently?]

I recently did a clean install of Skyrim and Mod Organizer after my ventures into ENB's didn't go so well... I'm currently installing mods – closely following Gopher's videos to make sure I get a stable build – to set up my game for a new character I think I have a cool backstory for, so I will be playing Skyrim again soon.

 

Meanwhile, I've been playing a lot of Mad Max but have recently stopped. I've gotten to a point now where it feels very repetitive and I can't see myself actually finishing it.

 

On my to do list: Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas. And Witcher 3. And Dark Souls 2. And 3... Oh, and Metro Last Light and 2033 Redux... I have them all sitting in my steam library but have never given them a proper play through. Might pick up Doom and/or Hellblade during the Steam winter sale as well... Think I might need to quit my job to get through them all! :laugh:

[Which game (or games) do you have the fondest memories with?]

First of all, Championship Manager 2 97-98. Played that game so much my dad felt the need to hide the computer power cord just to get me out of the house every now and then :laugh:

 

But I think my fondest memory of old school gaming was me and 3-5 buddies playing the original Halo on the original Xbox. We would set aside a Saturday evening (and Sunday morning) every now and then to play against each other. Multiplayer was a bit different back then; we would set up 2 or 3 TV's (depending on how many we were) and consoles in someone's living room, link them all together and play from 8-9 PM until early morning. Great game and great memories of long nights with junk food and a lot of laughter!

[So the Creation Club just launched...]

I started FO4 through Steam (since F4SE isn't updated yet) and everything seemed fine. All the mods from Nexus were there, I didn't get any warnings when loading up my save about missing mods and even Sim Settlements which relies on F4SE seemed to be working just fine. It shouldn't work though, right? I didn't save the game as I don't want to overwrite my current playthrough while F4SE isn't up to date. Just wanted to let you know and if you know why it seemed to be working fine and also why it's probably not, let me know :)

[So the Creation Club just launched...]

Just checked my Data folder and yes, all the CC I didn't order, pay for or want have been downloaded and are currently taking up 681MB of HDD space. I know, 681MB isn't a lot, even for someone like me who doesn't have a big HDD, but it's only for 10-12 mods. What happens when/if the CC grows to say 100 mods? Are we forced to store several GB's of content we didn't want, didn't pay for and don't have access to? It's probably legal - otherwise they wouldn't have done it I guess - but that made me really furious. F4SE will be updated because competent and brilliant people make it so I don't really care that I can't play FO4 for a few days, but forcing me to store extra content on I don't want on my limited HDD?!

 

Anyways, I switched FO4 in Steam to only update when I launch the game but I'm wondering if that's good enough to prevent future updates or does launching the game through F4SE count as me launching the game and therefore enabling steam to update the game?
