In the hopes of actually finishing the game with at least one of my characters, I've decided to try the trifecta:
Nord warrior werewolf Companion, specializing in dual axes. He doesn't know much or care much about magic, unless it's enchanting his axes to make them deadlier. 1H, Archery, Light Armor, Smithing and not much else.
Breton fire mage with a sword and crossbow. Not very handy with a blade, but deadly with Destruction. The Mage build I find to be the most challenging.
Dunmer assasin Vampire Lord Listener. In sneak mode and undetected, she's invincible. The DB questline is my favorite so far. The whole <Say Nothing> dialog choices are really awesome and I wish they had put more of them in the game, not just in the DB line.
My hope is that when I get bored with one build, I can switch to another and keep playing, returning to the other when I feel like it. I'm also playing Dawnguard concurrently with my warrior and assasin, just to shake it up a little (and to make the differences more noticable).

And, on the flipside, if the author puts up a joke mod, then takes it down because of criticism, to paraphrase TVD, he probably has other unrelated issues...

I think you should be able to get Smithing to read 101 if you have a 96 in the skill and the Notched Pickaxe (or something else with that enchantment).

Definitely a toss-up between Markarth and Windhelm. I just hate the way both cities are layed out. No matter how many times I visit, I still get lost and think to myself "Gad, I hate this city."
And yes, I think calling Dawnstar and Winterhold 'cities' is playing fast and loose with the word...

A little OT, but seriously, Bethesda NEVER said that Dragonborn would be released for the PC 31 days after the Xbox release. That was something us fans made up because Dawnguard was released for the PC 30 days after the Xbox release.
I, for one, am really proud of Bethesda for continuing to support a game that's almost a year and a half old, and, to their credit, it's really the reason most of us are still playing it (and are on this site discussing it). Most companies would have orphaned it after the first patch, and we would have lost interest in it 90 days after release.

Silly question, but what happens if you plug in headphones? Still too quiet?

The other responses you can give the doors at the two DB Sanctuaries...
"What is life's greatest illusion?"
"Marriage?"

1) Almost every mage you encounter in the game has a backup melee weapon, usually a dagger of some sort. Use that Enchanting of 60 to make yourself a nice dagger with a fire enchantment. It's saved my butt many many times.
2) Get yourself a staff for when you're out of mana.
3) Lydia is your tank-friend. Give her a greatsword and watch her go to town. Much of the time, my mage is really just assisting Lydia during a fight.
4) Level up your alchemy so you're never out of health or mana potions. Making potions is so cheap, it's almost cheating...

What Relativelybest said perfectly describes how I feel about it. Stop overthinking how to be you and just be you! :biggrin:

You know that garnet you get in the tutorial dungeon in Oblivion? No matter what character I created, they always kept that garnet through the entire game. It was like their good luck charm.
I do a similar thing in Skyrim - the first garnet I run accross stays in my inventory for the rest of the game. Same with the flawless garnet you find in Ustengrav. Also, I always take the steel dagger from the torturer in Helgen and keep it for the rest of the game (as a backup blade/boot knife).
Another thing I've just started recently doing was keeping a dragon scale and dragon bone from each named dragon I take down. When my smithing skill gets to the right point, I'm going to make a suit and sword out of the bones and scales of those dragons that thought they were badass enough to take this Dovahkiin down. Going to have to be multiple suits and swords at this rate...

Dawnguard first, if only for the crossbows and werewolf perk tree.
My personal opinion is Dragonborn should be played after finishing the main quest, and Dawnguard sometime before-hand. At least, that's what I'm doing...
-
A minimum of two, but it's has to be a very big light bulb.
-
Only big changes I've made recently involve one of the alternate start mods and download of latest official DLC.
I'm going to guess this is your problem. The latest DLC included a new high-res texture pack. Do you perchance have that installed as well? It sounds like it simply overwrote a texture file or path CBBE was using. The first thing I'd try would be to manually put all the CBBE textures in the folders they're supposed to be in, over-writing when prompted.

The Elder Scrolls Wiki is a highly dubious source of info. I highly recommend UESP instead, where you will find that there are two contradicting versions of Tiber Septim's origin, and the one where he's born on Alcaire is not the 'officially sanctioned' version:

I concur with chikawowwow's assesment. At least, that's what I'm really hoping it's gonna be!

Not sure if this is the correct forum, but its not really a technical issue, nor a mod, so i couldn't think of where else to ask, but i was curious about the placeatme command, i intended to use it to redecorate my Hearthfire House a little bit, however i wasn't sure exactly how the command works, and more importantly how the owndership of placed items works.
What i wanted to do, is turn one of the floors of the Enchanters tower into a Library (exactly the same design as the Library tower, only allowing me to have the Armory too) which would mean i'd have to summon in bookcases (Fairly sure i'd have to use closed bookcases because if i spawn an open fronted one, it wouldn't have the activators to "Place" books? is that right?, Anyway, i've got all the commands i need, (placeatme, the code for the case, getpos, getangle and setpos, setangle) but do i need to set the ownership of all of the individual cases to make them "Safe Storage" or does placeatme make them mine anyway?, and does changing their ownership to me actually make it safe storage anyway? or does that just mean i'm not stealing from them :S
Thanks in advance for any info i can get on this topic,
Beccy
1) no, the placeatme command does not establish ownership
2) no, setting ownership of the bookshelf does not make it safe storage. Not sure how the bookshelves actually work in the CK, but if it were a chest, you'd have to set it to not respawn before it would be 'safe'.

From the in-game loading screen:
"Argonians are the reptilian natives of the province of Black Marsh."
(emphasis added)
-
My solution is always to completely uninstall the entire thing. Skyrim, mods, NMM, delete \Data folder and the \Skyrim folder in 'My Games'... Then just download and reinstall everything from scratch.
So I say nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure. :biggrin:

this is probably a bad case of you don't like gaming -or rp's- but your bored as f*** and don't realise.
You might be right about the gaming thing... The titles mentioned above are the only games I really ever play... However, I actually blame the whole RP thing for the reason I'm addicted to modding the game in the first place...
-
Maybe could you give me the link where you downloaded dawnguard?
There's only one link to download Dawnguard.

I see this type of comment in the discussion forums for a great many mods:
User: "This mod is conflicting with another mod I have. Do you know which one?"
Modder: "Tell me your mod load order and maybe I can find something."
At which point the thread gets clogged with people posting their load orders.
What if there was a way for users to let NMM tell the Nexus what their mod load order is? Once linked to their profile, a user could set their load order as 'public', or would be able to message their load order to another member. You could even expand it further so that a modder could take the load listing from a number of users at once and see what similarities they may have, for troubleshooting purposes...
Moderator: I wasn't sure if this should be posted here, or in the Open Beta Feedback forum... Feel free to move it if I chose the wrong one. ;)
(I'd like to note, for the record, that in over 4 years of using the Nexus, this is the first suggestion for improvement I've ever even thought of. That's how high-quality I think this site is).
-
Maybe I should also have explained that I never finished Oblivion, FO3 or FONV for the exact same reason: The Nexus (yes, it's all THEIR fault :biggrin: ).
I'd like to actually finish one of these games one of these days...

A fourth copy? One for the PC, two for the Xbox, and the last one for...?
In a truly derp moment, I bought a second copy for my laptop, not realizing I could just install Skyrim on it and use the same Steam account. So now I actually have two Steam accounts.
:facepalm:

Probably be easier to make a 'swimming potion', using a food item (like mead) and the potion mesh/texture. I'm not sure the CK allows you to make a spell with no effect...
Guys who play girl characters
in Skyrim LE
Posted
At least in my little corner of the universe, playing as a girl originated with the Street Fighter series. The girl characters always had some killer badass move that could take down the biggest, beefiest dudes. We'd play the girl just so we could see the look on our friends' faces when we kicked their butt. Also, in a very sexist way, watching the sexy girl take down some guy twice her size gave twice the satisfaction. I think the same holds true for these games.
