Deadly Dragons AND Deadly Dragons-Armory: Adds new dragons and makes dragons actually dangerous and fun to fight - in the vanilla game they're ridiculously weak for being apocalyptic mythic killing machines. You can customise the difficulty for yourself ingame. Castle Grey: Who doesn't like massive castles to call their own? Realistic Lighting with Customisation: Makes light much more realistic, with dark nights and dungeons, bright days and sunlight, and in the next update better and more varied weather. Comes with a realistic snow mod. Enhanced Night Skyrim: Stargazing FTW. WATER water and terrain enhancement redux: Makes water look better. Phenderix Magic Evolved AND Apocalypse Spell Package (different mod authors): Better and more powerful spells. Phenderix also has the Skyrim School of Witchcraft and Wizardry mod which is heavily influenced by Harry Potter. I find it immersion-breaking, but many like it. The Paarthurnax Dilemma: MINOR SPOILER ALERT: In the Main Quest, a dragon who spent centuries meditating to overcome his inborn evil nature helps you. The remaining members of a dragonslaying order demand you kill him. This mod lets you tell them where to stick it and carry on with the dragonslaying group's quests. MINOR SPOILER ENDS. Ultimate Follower Overhaul: Expands Skyrim's follower system and let's you have more than 1 follower. If you have Castle Grey as well, don't use the UFO horses, it causes conflicts. SkyUI: Skyrim's user interface was designed for consoles. This mod makes the UI much easier to use on PC, but requires Skyrim Script Extender, which is free but is sometimes a bit of a hassle to download. aMidianBorn Book of Silence: Makes armours look better. Skyrim HD: I don't personally use this mod because, while my PC could probably run it, it impacts performance and loading times quite severely and I hate clunky gameplay. Still, if you don't mind having an FPS hit, this mod is for you. EDIT: On looking into this mod further, I found that there is a lite version that doesn't impact performance as much, which I now use. There's very little difference to my eye between the full and lite versions.

Hi, Very sorry if this is the wrong forum but I couldn't find a more suitable one. I'm trying to add a treasury to a player home mod, but while making the cell an error message pops up. It reads like this: Assert File: C:\_skyrim\code\tesv\bsshader\bsbatchrenderer.cpp Line: 1404 uiGroupingAlphasGroupMax is too low Abort Retry Ignore Clicking any option CTDs the CK. I have no idea what could be causing this. Any ideas? Thanks.

If this ever actually happens, Bethesda may as well go home and leave modders to make Elder Scrolls VI. Here's hoping it happens! As far as I know, the closest to what you're describing is the Summerset isle mod whoch is in progress.

I second overthrowing the Aldmeri Dominion. Paarthurnax betraying you - just no. It would be stupid to just be cliche and have the entire race of dragons be evil. Skyrim isn't black and white - neither the Empire nor the Stormcloaks are evil, no race is perfect, the Dwemer were highly civilised but still did horrible things to the Falmer... it would be cheap to have all dragons be evil. I very much like the idea of rebuilding Winterhold and setting yourself up as its Jarl, if you got the Mages of Winterhold to help you it could even improve Skyrim's attitude to magic.

So you made sure that all dragons will be evil because now Paarthurnax can't teach them the Way of the Voice and sent a message that helping you will be rewarded with death? Nice going.

Yes, but unless I'm being really thick, you still can't cast spells from horseback. More blatant Mage discrimination.

^ I was talking about maybe a book explaining the features of the mod having some kind of explanation - off the top of my head, that much precision would take so long you'd be toast before you could manage it, maybe?

Maybe not graphics mods, but I personally would say go for mods. Skyrim is great, but far from perfect, so patch up the more unpolished bits with mods. If you want to improve Skyrim but stick close to the original, just with some improvements, I recommend: Deadly Dragons (original-Skyrim dragons are just pathetic. They're supposed to be apocalyptic demigods, not glorified lizards a giant can kill.) WATER realistic water mod Realistic Lighting with Customisation The Paarthurnax Dilemma (small story mod that fixes a moral problem. SPOILER ALERT: A dragon who killed people thousands of years ago has since repented and spent centuries meditating to overcome his nature and helps you save the world. The Blades (dragonslayers sworn to serve you) then demand you go and murder him. This mod lets you tell them where they can stick it.)

1. Mercenary company. People would probably pay through the nose to have the Dovahkiin go and make that snooty Thalmor Justicar soil his underwear. 2. I second the healing business idea above. 3. For dark characters, mafia-style extortion and blackmail. 4. Author: read the Dovahkiin's autobiography, write and sell spell tomes/scrolls, maybe even create entirely new spell tomes to sell 5. Adventuring school (Lesson one: ALWAYS wear knee protection) 6. Maybe make being Arch-Mage of the College of Winterhold involve getting more students and earning money from fees 7. Hunting business: sell food and hides 8. Priest 9. If a vacancy comes up, become a Jarl's court wizard. 10. If Harbinger, get a cut of the Companion's profit. 11. Thu'um basics for those who aren't yet good enough to study with the Greybeards. 12. Building company: build houses, maybe when big enough repair Winterhold from the damage caused by the sea and Windhelm/Solitude from the Civil War. And just for fun: 12. Keepsakes business: Dragonborn's first ever sword, yours for just 250 Septims! 13. Rollercoasters Skyrim-style. Ride Odahviing, 100 Gold a turn! Climb on the Dragonborn's back while (s)he uses Become Ethereal and jumps off the Throat of the World! Can YOU survive being hit with an Unrelenting Force? :P Hey, you're a legendary hero, why not play off your fame, supernatural powers and cool buddies? Expenditures: If you multi-task and spend some effort, you're probably going to end up with mountains of gold, so: 1. Company headquarters 2, Contacts in government (friends in high places) 3. Ship(s) to ship your merchandise to other countries Sounds like a great mod, how's it progressing?

I don't know if this has already been suggested (I am NOT going to Ctrl+F 129 pages) so apologies if it has, but if you're going to make arrows/weapons deadly against all but full high-level heavy armour, can you possibly make wards block/reduce melee damage? It always struck me as odd that rather than repelling attacks, a shiny wall of energy makes you tougher the way armour does despite being something quite clearly entirely separate from your armour. Also, how are you going to handwave lore-wise the inability of a mage to set a dragon's brain on fire from halfway across the battlefield? Thank you.

It's implied that magic can extend your lifetime from Savos Aren's incredibly irritating dialogue, "What you learn here will last you a lifetime... Several, if you're talented." So my Archmage DB is golden :). Anyway, considering you have an immortal dragon's soul, every DB would seem to be immortal until they get chomped by a dragon. ^^^ Exactly, vanilla dragons are weak as hell. Deadly Dragons FTW.

I installed "The Paarthurnax Dilemma" so I could tell the Blades to suck it and leave Paarthurnax alive. If he were plotting to betray the Dovahkiin, why would he spend thousands of years sitting on a mountain meditating? Why convert other dragons to the Way of the Voice to make them less axe-crazy? Why not just chomp Dovahkiin in mid-sentence after returning from Sovngarde? Murdering Paarthurnax helps nobody - it can't bring back the people he killed thousands of years ago and has regretted ever since (it's like mugging someone at the age of 15, regretting it your whole life and so becoming a great philanthropist and setting up charities, then the police showing up to arrest you in your 80s) it prevents other dragons from beig redeemed, and it is killing the guy who saved the world twice over. The Blades were just being racist, irrational, genocidal a***holes.
