Wow! this is amazing. :yes: Thanks a lot for all of this. I'm going to check these out one by one by one. To answer your other questions: - No idea, probably either elven or some kind of human race. I used to be a spellsword Nord if I recall correctly but then I took an arrow in the knee , I'm probably going to dabble in magic again anyway, I enjoyed that the most. - Hm......I would probably want a big (preferably upgradeable) housing area, or at least one where it's easy to sort loot, and has parts like alchemy table/enchanting table/furnace/leather skinning rack, so I don't have to travel back and forth between town just to smelt or create potions. Anything nature or arcane-themed is great, not really that picky with it. - Oh boy, here comes the moment of shame. My pc has terrible specs (can't show the specs right now, as I'm not on my PC atm, but it has an integrated graphics card with 512 MB allocated, yuck), I bought it something like 5 years ago, but it's still able to run games like DS2 and Skyrim on 40-60 FPS quite well, provided I use the right settings. Nevertheless, I definitely won't be able to use HD or shader mods.

Although I think most good games use their respective mechanics to improve on the story, there are a few games I think have such a great story on their own . Ori and the Blind Forest, Transistor, Bastion (gotta love Supergiant Games), and Mother 3 come to mind. I've also heard great things about the story of Two Brothers, but sadly, that game kept crashing on my pc for some reason, so I was never able to complete it.

That's a great series of questions, I should have posted that in the OP. - I just bought all the DLC with legendary edition. - I have used the Nexus Mod Manager in the past (I can recall using SkyUI), but it has been a while. I don't think I would need a lot of help with actually installing the mods themselves, though any any advice for installing mods is always welcome. - That's a difficult question. I think I enjoy I think RP the most. I'm not really a completionist, but I do enjoy completely exploring the areas in RPGs. You know, discovering hidden areas with loot.

Hello everybody, You probably don't know me, as I never really bothered looking around in the Nexus forums until now. I hope I can get to know the community of Nexus a bit. :smile: Anyway, onto the matter at hand. A few years ago, I started playing Skyrim, and enjoyed it a lot...for a while. While I did enjoy the initial startup of the game, I quickly noticed frustrating flaws in the game that made my passion for the game die out quite quickly. Fast forward 3 years later, and here we are now. I'm just at the end of my semester for college, and have two weeks of glorious nothingness coming up. I felt this was the perfect oppertunity to "get lost" in a game, and I remembered that I never completed Skyrim, which also happened to have gained quality DLC after its release. However, I'm a bit afraid to start off again. I'm afraid because I feel I would jump to the same conclusion as 3 years ago after a while and waste my time with the game. The solution? Mods, of course. One quick glance at the Skyrim mod file list made me realize how much could be added to this game, I just don't know where to start. There are plenty of videos and guides for "the top X mods in Skyrim" out there, but those do not really target my desires. My gripes with Skyrim are as follows: Boring combat. It's basically smacking an opponent repeatedly while gulping down potions.Uninteresting gear and weapons. There are of course tiers of weapons, but every sword feels like the same one, just with another look, damage amount, and optional percentage-based enchantment.Not enough customisation for player homes.No incentive to re-explore old areas. This is mostly caused by the option to fast travel.No incentive to eat anything. Sure, some food gives you a buff, but the same can be done with a potion. It just feels like an useless addition to the game.Boring Companions. Unless the companion is quest-specific, the companion is mostly a travelling donkey that also happens to know how to fight.Somewhat similiar-feeling dungeons. There is enough variety to make exploring dungeons and such rewarding, but I never was really surprised by the loot or by the enemies.So, here's my question for you all. What mods do you think would solve or cover up these problems? I happen to know there are a lot of player home mods, so I'm curious which one you would recommend for me to cover up the second point of critique. Furthermore, what other mods would you recommend that are a must-have for newer players? Finally, are there any mods you personally have enjoyed a lot and would recommend to me as well? The more, the better It's a bit of a big request, I know that, but I would be thankful even if you mentioned just one mod, or if you gave tips for finding the right mods. I'll make sure to compile a list of mods that helped me out the most, so other new players like me will benefit from it as well. :smile: TL;DR I used to play Sykrim but its flaws made me stop playing. I want to play it again with mods, but do not know what to pick and therefore am asking the community what they would think new players should install. Edit: I should clarify that I currently have all the DLCs and prefer a role-playing kind of playthrough.
