Sounds like fun. Cheaper than the lottery, that's for sure.

My first thought is that Vortex is the new name/upgrade for the Android app "Remotr" which lets you use your tablet as an interface to play games remotely on your computer over the internet.

So far actually, I've figured out a series of console commands that 'should' be able to get me close to the desired effect. After I get the supplies from Klimmek and drop them off, I'm going to walk into High Hrothgar, and use my Player-Shouting to open the console and say: Setstage MQ105 160 UnlockWord 13e23 UnlockWord 2F766 Player.Modav dragonsouls 2 Then I'll unlock Ro and Wuld with the two dragonsouls, and turn right around and walk out. If it works I suppose I'll whip myself up a reference sheet for the few other places that are super duper tedious, but this is the main one that really really stood out. For whatever reason I just never really mind listening to Jarl Balgruuf talk about stuff.

I'm sure I can't be the only person who has come across this particular annoyance, but I have yet to be able to find a solution. If the answer already exists, I can't seem to find the proper search terms to locate it, either on the Nexus or with Google in general. Why do all the scenes in High Hrothgar take so damned long?! It's all well and good with dramatic timing and pacing and whatnot, but oh my god they never shut up. Even if you skip through all the dialogue at maximum speed, you still have to stand around for several minutes just waiting for people to walk to and 'fro, and then stop for scripted pauses. You have to wait for your shouts to refresh, for them to put up a new dummy when testing new levels of shouts, for them to demonstrate the whirlwind sprint shout, for them to teach me new words, to absorb their knowledge of the shouts.. There are so many scripted pauses and so much boring conversation on High Hrothgar that I think I've gotten past it maybe five times out of fifty games I've started since I got the game. I don't mind having to run and go fail to find the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller every single time I go there, but I do mind having to stand around while the Greybeards leisurely stroll out down to greet me, and then stroll out the door to the courtyard to demonstrate some shouts. It's infuriating and tedious and I realized recently that it really stops me from enjoying the main quest because starting it up is just such an incredible pain as I can't at all stand the greybeards and their slothful ways. Does a solution exist for this? A dialogue mod, or even just some mod that utterly truncates those sections? I've seen it enough times to remember it, I'd be entirely satisfied if I arrived at High Hrothgar, and then five seconds later my journal was updated with the quest to go get the horn and the shouts appeared as if I had gone through the whole sequence. If such a mod doesn't already exist, I don't suppose anyone would be interested in making it? Edit: Oh, and I apologize if this belongs in the Mod Detectives thread. It was ambiguous to me whether or not that thread was for mods that we know exist (as I seem to recall from Morrowind years ago) or for any mod that may or may not exist, so I decided to just make a new topic on it.
