I also have my "More Racism in Windhelm", although its voice acting is mediocre (I made the mod for myself, mostly). Mind you, someone in the comments liked the voice of a character...

Both Nords and Bretons are sentient and sapient on the same basic level, so it's not an accurate comparison. I think you could compare a Nord being a racist to a Breton to a human being racist to a sentient alien*, which is another form of Fantastic Racism in fiction. In many sci-fi, however, enmity towards sentient aliens is considered to be bad, unless these aliens have clearly hostile or warlike intentions. Fiction derives its impact from both parallels and differences from the real world, after all. Not that Skyrim is that xenophobic, anyway. I agree that Stormcloak bigotry is quite minor and vague, in order to make them more bigoted you have to resort to mods or headcanon. *albeit to an alien with whom humans can have kids, and who basically look like humans, anyway. Now that I mention it, the large difference between human and elf lifespans in TES could be a reason for more than superficial difference between races, but it's very much downplayed in TES writing.

I like it when the Nord Legion officer in Falkreath, Legate Skulnar, says the Legion offiers' mildly chauvinist anti-Nord "Nord kings - excuse me, 'Jarls'..." lines. At least, the Empire's assortment of regional officers is multi-racial.

Are they only on Whiterun tundra and Eastmarch hot springs? Or are they actually everywhere?

Why do people always have such problems having a stable game? Are they installing overhauls upon other overhauls? I have no trouble having a stable game... then again, my modlist is probably smaller compared to the people who have such severe issues.

That's not exactly true. They have mentioned that things like new worlds and quests are acceptable things to submit to the Creation Club. Even when these mods were largely developed by one person, they still had to hire voice actors. Will Bethesda provide the voice actors for all the localization languages and the translators necessary to localize all the text? Their page says that the CC content is fully localized, after all.

There's a lot of ambiguity as to what Bethesda actually expects to sell. Their "What types of content will be included in Creation Club?" paragraph on website seems to be oriented towards small-scale mods rather than things of Falskaar/Forgotten City/Interesting NPC's scale.

The flesh was raw ("Fresh flesh! Fresh flesh!"). No wasabi or soy, though :(

In my dream, the Bannered Mare owner kept a plate of Human Flesh below the counter... when I confronted her about it, she viciously answered that I will regret it if I attack her or report her to someone. Then I launched the UESPwiki and saw that nothing will happen if you reply, "sorry, ma'am, I am just acting according to my nature" and walk away, but if I tell her she must pay for her crimes and kill her, my in-game spouse will die soon, and a bunch of characters, including Ysolda, will hate me (despite Ysolda inheriting the Bannered Mare). I also remembered killing both her and the small green Daedra in armor that was inside her body, and then having to hide the Human Flesh ingredients in water ponds of Skyrim. That's certainly a plot twist.

Dragon fire can't melt stone supports of the tower! Don't believe bard lies!

Yep, modded Skyrim is awesome, but eventually, it's natural to tire of all games. When some of today's mods-in-the-works get released, it may be worth checking the game more thoroughly again. Until then, there exists plenty of other stuff to waste your time on.

I confess that I don't own Fallout 4, but it is amusing to read people praising the characters and the multitude of quests in Skyrim, since the consensus of the overall gaming public is that the Skyrim characters are flat and its quests uninspiring. (Only mostly agree with this, but I would also add that there're too few quests in vanilla Skyrim as well). I think that with official DLC's and proper mods Skyrim is one of the best games ever, but it took some time to get there from vanilla. Obviously, that doesn't apply to people who were disappointed with Skyrim, as well... but is Fallout 4 really that bland and contentless?

Vanilla Blood on Ice is a majestic spaghetti of bugs and nonsensical progressions. With the unofficial patch(es) it worked fine for me the time I attempted to do it, though,

There's the Beyond Skyrim project. It's not even close to complete, though. They're planning to release Country Bruma "soon" (meaning probably 2-3 months, judging from their current progress).

The Yngvarr scripts are from Falskaar, most likely (he's the eeeevil antagonist of this mod). I have a suspicion that the AnvilDencheckjusticar is from Moonpath to Elsweyr. I don't know how severe these errors are, though, and whether they have any adverse effect on the game at all.

They have names like Imperial Bracers (Elven Glided Armor, Orcish Armor, etc) of Minor Destruction (Major Conjuring, Minor Alchemy, etc). Pretty sure I occasionally found stuff like that in dungeon boss chests.

I believe they can be finded in random loot. There exist "magic" versions of all armor in the game, from Iron to Dragonbone. It's quite easy to see them in TesEdit, as well.

Vigilance and Virtue quest from 3dnpc mod, although it was more bittersweet.

Bretons are more French-like, although in Skyrim Bethesda introduced some non-French names and the Reachman Breton separate ethnic sub-group with Celtic names. Still, if you want to emphasis the medieval aspects, Bretons are a good flavour-wise chose, especially since they do have knights and petty landholdings and such in High Rock.

Zora is not crazy, she's one of the sanest characters in the mod in question (and her initial greeting is ironic). The same mod has Dagri'lon, who is more to your profile.

This http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Names is quite useful in this regard. For more lore compatibility, ignore the Arena and Daggerfall names on everything except Nords and maybe Bretons/Altmer/Bosmer (yes, the Argonians in Arena had Hellenic-style names).

Try identifying the dragons' first two ID numbers with the help of console (open the console and click on one of them). These first two numbers signify the load order number of the mod.

Isn't there a mod that changes in-game messages to be from a first-person point of view? Forgot its name. Maybe it, or something badly interacting with it, is the problem?

True, although I still think they could've done much better (a couple of mods manage to do it just fine, and I actually think that Bethesda did a great job with the Dragonborn expansion - at least, its main quest and sidequests actually had an emotional effect on me the way few things in vanilla Skyrim did). As of now, I'd give Beth a B- on vanilla Skyrim storytelling (A- on Dragonborn, though - apparently, the more restricted landmass of the expansion allowed them to express their concepts slightly deeper, at least, to me).

This doesn't really have any effect on the way things progress, though. True, it's acknowledged by the Greybeards, but for all storyline intents and purposes, Alduin is an evil-want-to-destroy-the-world-bwahaha dragon. A lot of Skyrim setting has potential, but doesn't really deliver on the promises.
