I play with the Skyrim sharpshooters ENB with the latest patch file where you can use ENBoost and my system Crys at night wishing it was as good as yours :C but i still run at 20 fps in big battles, 40-50+ anytime else. Here are things i do so i can play skyrim without facewalling -Run Razor Game Booster -I have AVG so i have to manually turn off AVG after every reset even though i have it turned off on startup so if you use AVG make sure it's not running even if it looks like it isn't, basically turn off your anti virus -http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/5695/? also use this Make sure you have nothing else hooking into your skyrim though, it could be causing problems especially if using ENBoost

You didn't look very hard did you? xD i googled "skyrim mod that lets me rob people" took me here http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/880857-roleplay-as-a-highwayman/ and from there has a link to that same mod. Note that sometimes that mod actually lets you rob some people you wouldn't think of normally, and sometimes it works on custom NPC sometimes not.

So i am looking to start on my very first mod ever for anything. I am currently earning my programming degree and thought what better practice then to mod. My first mod i want to work on is a Better Spouse mod because vanilla spouses are an insult to spouses everywhere, and then no one really has made a Spouse mod that i am looking for plus for those of us who bought Hearthfire and it was just such a letdown this would really give that boost it needs. My intentions for the mod are as follows~ - Better dialogue and a LOT more - Unique dynamic dialogue so spouses aren't just stale - Better interaction with the player and kids if you have them - More varied task for the spouse to do - A better incentive to actually visit the house/spouse such as like sleeping with them gives a bonus to X or Y for a limited time or maybe if you don't visit them every now and then the spouse then decides to divorce you. ( maybe add a MCM option so that a person could control exactly how much time that "every now and then" is, maybe some people want a more then often and others less so ) my idea for that is that in a sense it could give you a emotional aspect to your significant other. Let's say if you want it to happen more often it would show a needy-ness of them and if you want it to happen less it could show a distant emotional feeling towards you. still working on that idea - a system that controls what the spouse wears so they are not a Meg and just wear the same thing over and over and over~ perhaps add a way for the player to control what they wear or let the spouse randomly wear what she wants. - A system that would let the player give the spouse X amount of $ much like when you ask your steward to buy upgrades, that would let the spouse spend the money on things either for the house, you, or even there-self / kids. this could include toys/ potions / weapons/ visual upgrades etc - a system that would apply a random gain or loss to the amount of gold your spouse makes per day instead of a set amount say some days she would make a nice bit then others since the economy just took a big hit they wouldn't make as much. - and finally my last idea idk if this is possible but would be interesting to try, a way for your spouse to invite people over. so that when you come home it's not just you, your spouse and possibly kids every single day. I mean it's not like when your spouse marrys you they just lose their social life right? So My question/s are What exactly would i need to start learning to make all this happen? atm all i can think of are these. Also i would love to hear more ideas on how i could expand this. 1. Learning scripts 2. Learning animation 3. learning how to add dialogue Would it be easier to apply this to all able spouses or just make a new NPC that has these certain conditions and work from there.

Do giants even talk? or have a comprehensible language system that can be used to communicate with non giants?

Don't forget Ice queen Viconia http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/28941/? Most of her dialogue is voiced, however the author says 3.0 version all the dialogue will be re-voiced by Amber Lee Connors plus he's adding ALOT more content to it. Also Kamille may or may not be getting a voice actor in the nearfar~ish future.

Errr run the game with Skyrim performance monitor, and see how much memory VRAM and RAM is being eaten up then compare it to your capabilities of your pc So i mean for you those visuals mods may have been causing a problem because of low VRAM or maybe you aren't using the latest enb patch as a work around the VRAM cap. But as i am also a RPG enthusiast and have any and all spawns/ random npc/ random attack mods possible sometimes it doesn't matter how much memory you have or how many texture mods you have it's just simply too many NPC's for the game to load sometimes and the game just crashes. OR depending on the mod you may also have scripts running and a ton of scripts all trying to run at the same time could be causing crashes. In otherwords if your system can handle it you can have your cake and eat it too

check your actor fade distance and make sure you have it set high. that's what fixed the same problem for me

Why would you want to raise the uGrids? like what benefit does it provide more so then a normal one?

What programs do you guys use for taking screenshots with ENB's? Atm i'm using Sharpshooters patched for ENB Boost I have tried FRAPS, in game SS, normal print screen + paint. No matter what i do with an ENB turned on the pictures always come out way darker then it should be. And turning the ENB off isn't a solution i mean, i don't want a SS of normal crap skyrim :c http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff445/fifteenspades/Screenshot894892.png That's is supposed to be during the daytime =/

I would advise playing Morrowind and seeing just how vastly different the Morag Tong and Dark brotherhood are and see who you should worship from there.

Im not even sure what you are asking for lol

Congratz on getting it released :3

Location location location location...~

So Mudcrabs are allowed in? they have scales and spines.

Nord would fit because they really, really despise magic so not being able to use magic from the start and having to learn it would make sense there.

I see what you did there.

Try to coc somewhere like coc whiterun coc riverwood

Lets say i decided to worship Al gore as a Saint. How do you think other people would react. "who are you to dictate our beliefs al gore should be a saint!" makes you rethink "bastard" thalmor doesn't it. ;o

Are you just playing vanilla mage? or modded mage? Vanilla mage is just abusing impact perk dual wield firebolt if you have a follower otherwise duel wield the lightning bolt. and well... just keep firing till they die. Vanilla Mage is the easiest class, also you say shoot them 1-4 times does that mean you plan on easy? or something not hard Because on legendary mobs take ALOT more then 3-4 shots. As for your enchants you can keep a set of destruction gear and restoration gear if you wanted ( again vanilla only ) -100% cast cost or next to nothing enchants. Destruction set for anything not a dragon Restoration set for all dragons except maybe alduin hes easy~ The reason you want resto for dragon is because you will die without wards but they are costy as crap to maintain. you could also use summons, but depends on the type of mage you want i guess. Vanilla Summons dremora lords pretty much mop up everything just sit back and have some tea Now if you are talking about/thinking of getting a magic mod/s Then you will need to tell us which ones and also any mod that alters combat :P

Idk about you but i hate Intense Flames Fear effect. As a Squishy mage, the last thing i need is for someone to run away and go get even more of their buddys to kill me. As for the ward how about making their sustain cost 0 and they just drain magicka whenever they are hit. or make the sustain just barley anything.

thank you that's great and all i especially like the exploding death. If only it was in spell format :tongue: i play with Duel combat, Enhanced enemy AI, Revenge, and a bunch of other combat mods combined with ASIS basically i've made skyrim as hard as it can get without being impossible. So as a Mage Spellcaster i die in 1 hit from... random arrows, sometimes when the draugh sneeze or bandits roar. so i can never be up close to do those finishing moves sadly t_t

*Contains Spoilers of Dark Brotherhood quest among other quest~ I'm asking for some spells to make deaths just seem more brutal and violent when you hear Festus Krux of the dark brotherhood speak about his recent contracts and the various ways he has killed it just sounds awesome yet, you also wonder how he did any of this when magic in skyrim is bleh. Really the only ways i have found from other mods that alter deaths are from Deadly Mutilation where you can freeze people, burn them or disintegrate them. and another mod where if they die by poison they turn a different color. some ideas are~ - A spell that makes the target explode and blood flies everywhere ( perhaps as a side effect it also has a fear AOE applied to anyone near it. Seeing someone explode would be pretty intimidating ) - A spell that makes the target kneel over and just bleed out and die - A spell that makes the target explode into pieces - A spell that kills the target while striping it of its skin ( basically they turn into bones after they die ) - A spell that could impale people into things if they are close enough to an object - A spell that decapitates the targets head and or sets just the head on fire ( so its like deadly mutilations burn effect but only to the head ) - A spell that after you kill the target it creates wounds like the dead women had from the Serial Murderer in Windhelm - A living bomb spell that after you cast it on a target after X seconds they explode in a ball of fire and deal damage to anyone around them. - A spell that after you kill the target they are just covered in blood ( my thinking was like blood bending from avatar, and that the spell would make the veins in the person explode resulting in blood everywhere ) I know some are plausible and maybe some aren't but they are just ideas. Would love to hear some other peoples ideas though, also if these spells already exist sorry for posting this then but i could not find them to save a cats life.

Kinda forgot about it :S i'll keep looking though when i have the time. but i do know that it did not let you dual attack on the move. And well... it's because it's physically impossible to do that and do any sort of real damage you have to stand still to get the power behind those attacks.

If you search around you will find someone whos working on a massive mod where he's making every floor of Aincrad.

They would both be doing the same thing obviously Ulfric and the Dragonborn. But the key difference is as Dragonborn i will tell people this is how it is because it's how i want it too that i purely took over because i am great and very greedy and selfish. I won't use "nordic traditions" and religion as a legitimate excuse i will let people know straight up it's because me,me,me,me and i. So in that sense it's not Hypocritical at least that's what i would do. Maybe other dovahkins would do something different~ Also you don't "need" high king or Queen to change anything. You only "need" that if you want to do it in a favorable way.
