In response to post #77513343. #77513408, #77513468, #77513568, #77513648 are all replies on the same post. It's free. What exactly do you have to lose? Even if Epic closes (they won't-Steam has pissed off way too many game designers) you haven't lost any money and you know whether or not you liked it enough to buy it on Steam.

It has occurred to me many times that given his knowledge of the Voice and killing the High King with a Thu'um Ulric should have called himself the Dragonborn in an attempt to win more Nords to his cause. And why hasn't he (after discovering that you are the true Dragonborn) used you against the Empire by threatening to start a potential upheaval in Cyrodiil by naming you as the Dragonborn and true inheritor of the Empire? Also why haven't a few less than honorable individuals tried to make a profit using the Dragonborn title? I see this as something Bethesda should have addressed in the vanilla game and would like to see a mod that fixes these missed opportunities.

It would be nice to be able to tell scribes or trainees to wait when you're not quite ready to take them to whatever location has been assigned to their radiant quests but also don't want to drag them around with you. For trainees this isn't so bad because as children they are unkillable. I find them to be extremely annoying though. It becomes more problematic with the scribes because they are marked as non-essential and you fail the quest if they get themselves killed out chasing a raider.

Is it possible to modify the quest journal to put the quest with the most recently completed quest objective at the top of the list. This is the way Skyrim SE and FNV handle it. It's been awhile since I played FO3 so I don't remember if it does. I know that it's not all that hard to scroll the list but it does get annoying if the quest you are working on was received earlier and haven't been able to work on. For example when Haylen's quartermaster quests, the scribe quests for Quinlan, and the trainee quests for Kells send you to Nuka World or Far Harbor when those DLCs haven't even started yet.

In response to post #66958086. #66966381 is also a reply to the same post. Fallout 3 then New Vegas just because FO3 starts in 2277 and FNV starts in 2281. FO3 is fairly linear but it does have some outstanding DLCs. FNV's story line is better, much more diverse and much more lore-friendly. And it has the best DLCs one of which helps explain where all of the guns and non-stale ammo (in the NCR and the Mojave any way) is coming from. And I would recommend playing Fallout 4 at least once just for the DLC. You can quit anytime after you've played them and not really feel like you've missed something. I would wait until it goes on sale though. Say what you like about Bethesda and Obsidian but they both do create awesome downloadable content. Better than the main games even. If Bethesda hasn't completely killed the franchise with FO76, they should consider writing the main story of the next game like it was a DLC for one of the prior stories and add back in consequences for antisocial behavior. What fun is playing an evil character if it doesn't make a single difference?

Does that mean I won't be able to use any of the code I've wriiten in COBOL and stored on reel-to-reel tape that I keep in the cold vault in my basement? Bummer days, man.

I haven't had a problem with NMC. It is working for me on fo3, fnv and fo4 without any problems.

Will I remember where I dragged it from? Almost certainly not. But if I set the rule correctly I won't have to. But just in case I might need to know at a later date, I can write a note in the mod info pane. I would be only be using the drag-and-drop to get close enough to where it should be to help me figure out what the rule should be without having to test each mod/plugin until I find what I need. Once the rule is set, I can deploy it and resort so that Vortex places it where it needs to be. I am not trying to subvert the developers intended usage (though I am sure others would but I really don't give a flying fig what they do). I just want to narrow down potential conflicts until I can find the rule I need to make for my particular needs. I don't want to try and drag everything to the bottom of my load order. It is lazy and inefficient. And impossible. Not everything can be the last plugin loaded. If you can tell me a better way to locate the conflicts that LOOT seems to be unable to find sometimes, I would be happy to use it. I am not trying to argue with you. I just want to clarify my position and seem to be doing a horrible job. If there is a more recent tutorial video than Gopher's I will be happy to watch it because I am obviously missing something and would like to rectify that.

As stated above I am perfectly happy to admit it may be a lack of understanding on my part. I am pretty sure that I've read those pages back in March or April when Vortex was in alpha and therefore not quite feature complete. I will verify when I am able to replace my PC--lightning strike blew out four computers, five monitors, one tv and their associated surge protectors and backup power supplies. I am only holding on to my sanity by using a crappy little tablet that I was only using for my ebooks.

Being beaten to death does not make it an invalid topic. Setting rules alone is sometimes just not quite good enough. I realize that some of my problems may just be my not quite understanding how this system works. Don't get me wrong, I actually like this mod manager. I like how it lets me know exactly which mods are in conflict. I don't particularly mind setting the rules. What I do mind is the process of trying to find out HOW to set the rules for your particular set-up in the first place. There are conflicts that LOOT sorting alone will not catch. For example what if it is not a case of one file directly overwriting another file of the same name? What if it is a single rule within a file that overwrites a rule in a theoretically unrelated file. It has been my experience that some body mods make changes both male and female bodies when it is only related to male or female body type but not both. This in and of itself is not beyond being able to correct through the use of rules but you still need to find this conflict. Not too long ago I had to spend the equivalent of a full day trying to locate such an error in a very long list of mods. (Please don't ask me what the mods were. I don't remember right off the top of my head and can't go through the mod list right this second just to find them. The game was Skyrim.) Even the LOOT page says that it doesn't always give the best load order

I love zzjay's mods and I can't play without some of them. In fact, I like to use so many of the forge-able ones that my forged item list is too long. I actually need a mod that will allow me to remove some of the vanilla items that I will never make. I will probably end up learning to mod myself just to make that mod.

This would be my first mod so please bear with me. How do I overhaul the amounts of bottle caps available as loot? I would like to have LESS bottle caps available at all. I would also like to have less available ammo to loot. (The raiders have to use their ammo... why would they have so much on hand?) This would have the net effect IMHO of making the choices about how you spend your caps more important. Weapons/ammo or the luxury accommodations of beautiful downtown Diamond City?

I would prefer an option to get a cup with the nexus logo having a game name overlaid in some sort of script. My personal favorites would be any of the Fallout or Elder Scrolls games. I would also consider offering a t-shirt of one of the stores added by mods (I mean that's what you come to the Nexus for right?) with the Nexus logo in place of the store name and an author credit under the picture.

It also would be great if making the double bed in the bedrooms section it added an interior wall so mom and dad could get a little privacy from the kids.
