Must admit I agree. I too play might and magic mix and I'm very disappointed as I love bow working but agree, bows do suck terribly in this game. Have had to adapt my game style as a result :) The game is huge and I'm just in Adessa now and still playing with side quests and popping in and out of the main ones (when I realise that I'm in an area where I can do something). I'm mainly mucking around looking at everything and finding all kinds of stuff. Great game and I do hope that it continues in a series or the like. I would prefer more storage and the like but that isn't a game buster for me to be honest.

I've been playing this game for a week solidly and am totally enamoured with it (in other words I love it). It's vibrant, full of detail, full of characters and wonderful stories and so much to see and do, its totally breathtaking. I've got it on the highest settings and I have a FPS of between 45 and 70 whilst running around and in the cities, which are so detailed its amazing. To me this game puts Skyrim to shame in the amount of detail and the way in which you can do what you want when you want and how you want. I've had no CTDs and all quests completed so far (approximately 130) have completed with no problems. If there are any faults they are the character creation which is basic but the characters are beautiful and wonderful to play and the lack of storage or rather the limited storage (155 items max in a stash chest) and 120 items max on one's person. Now the storage is peculiar as although I've said 155 and 120 this means individual items however the amount of reagants is 99 then a new "item" is created the same with potions, blacksmithing and sagecraft. Its difficult to gain full sets of armor which looks cool and to decide between due to the limit of storage, however I tend to sell to the same people whilst buying widely therefore can "sell" sets for storage with these individuals. Although expensive to buy back, its usually the only thing to spend your money on as you accumulate it very quickly as you progress. This game is bright, different areas and detailing, the scenery beautiful and lush (even in the desert areas) the characters wonderfully detailed and the back stories the same. A wonderful experience and I advise you to at least give the demo a go. If a creation kit is created I can't wait to see what could be done as to me it would be limitless.

There is definitely a mod conflict. I found it was one of the modular game changing mods. You'll have to put the mods on one-by-one- to ascertain which one is conflicting for you. For me it was the Advanced Tactics and Quickbar mods together with Improved Atmospheres. They hated each other lol. Let me know how you get on.

What you also need to remember about BOSS is that it is updated regularly however new mods come out every day, every hour of every day at the moment and as a result quite a few mods will not be on the listing for BOSS at present. You also need to realise that Nexus is not the only site that mods are hosted upon, there are many others and if you download mods from those sites they may not be recognised by BOSS either. Either way, using mods is a game of chance, some will work together others wont. Those that make changes to textures or game play normally should be loaded last as anything else that does the same will overwrite them. It takes time and normally you may have to test the mods individually to see if they work together or not. Armor, Clothing and Weapon mods rarely cause problems as they are either texture replacement or they ADD new content. All I can say in closing is Enjoy, play around with different mods and enjoy the experience you gain. As better and bigger mods come out change and play some more. Roleplaying is about experiencing new and exciting things each time you play through. Even now I find new things upon playing Dragon Age or Oblivion. Enjoy and experience a wonderful environment created solely by you.

Oh heck that's the problem then I put them at the end of the one saying ArchiveList2 blooming heck what a nut lol. Thanks hun you are brill, I'll just change the ini in my games too right?? Your help is appreciated

Thanks for your replies. The new texture packs from Bethesda do have esp's and there is a workaround to get rid of them and use the BSA's without them. By textures I also mean mods that change the look of something like Whiterun Greenized, to me that is a texture mod with an esp lol. I do use BOSS but as the majority of mods are new they show up as not known etc. Like I said for Oblivion there was a load order which is posted on the forums here and I tended to use that. Something however went terribly wrong. I did look at my sound but that was ok too so I'm at a total loss as to what caused it.

Used the load order as per Oblivion and ended up after adding the new Texture files to my Skyrim.ini (not default) losing my voice files. No voices, not a single sound uttered by anyone other than animals and ambient noises. Reinstalled the game but no joy. Took out the ini files and hoped that they would be reloaded as Oblivion used to do (Oblivion would recreate the files if you deleted them) but no I had to reinstall the game yet again after deleting everything from each place the game loaded to. So after 24hours plus of downloading the game (which is a pain in itself) and still waiting another hour as we speak, I'm no closer to finding out what the hell happened. To save me pain again, I will be backing up all files so there should be no reason to download again however I would still be interested to know if anyone has any ideas on a load order eg, putting on 1. Textures 2. Game Overhauls 3. Cosmetics 4. Weapons, Armor and Clothing 5. Game play 6. Quests The above is an example of how to load mods not an accurate way, but I used something similar in Oblivion and it tended to work either using the Mod Manager or Bash. Any assistance, ideas would be gratefully received.

I agree with Sync, the best thing to do is to contact EA or Bioware and they should validate the key code or issue a new one. I had similar problems with the Witcher and they issued me with a new number via email. Let us know if you get it resolved.

I have a number of mods which I would like to compile for my own use. Is there anyone available to assist with this. I have checked the Wiki and there is nothing there. Also none of the tutorials released so far cover this type of thing so any assistance that can be given would be gratefully received. Thank you xx

War in Skyrim nexus id 6176 Mother of Tears nexus id 6272 Proudspire Manor nexus id 2059 College of Winterhold nexus id 1512 Hjerim Chests v1.4a nexus id 2394 There may be more but these are the ones so far that will not work with SKSE under any circumstances with or without Strings for two of them. I'm putting mods back on one at a time to see what causes problems and what doesn't. Hope this helps

since the new patch I've noticed my SKSE launcher wont work either on its own or through NMM. I'm using the latest version but as soon as I add mods that need strings or esp's it stops working CTD after the Bethesda logo. Anyone got any ideas??? Thanks guys

Sounds to me like you have more than one chargenmorph file loaded. You can only have one at any time in the files and so you need to merge these either manually or using a program like Rens. See if this works by removing all but the original (which should be shown at the end of your data list) The others will most probably be contained in the originating folders for the mods to which they correspond. Hope this helps, let me know how you get on.

Short answer no. Wont affect nothing just play and have fun :)

The quick answer is YES you'll be more than ok lol xxx

There is a difference between chastising a child and abusing a child and if one does not realise the difference then one should not be looking after the child in the first place. Chastising doesn't necessarily have to be physical, neither does abuse. Chastisement should teach a child the positives with regard to behaviour and life, abuse doesn't. Chastising should not harm, mentally or physically, abuse does. Logic also plays a role here if what you are about to do to a child will result in hurt or an escalation of violence then you are doing it wrong. I personally hate physically chastising my children (or any child left in my care). I'm usually the one left feeling "wrong" if I have to and that is not good for either me or the child involved. In extreme circumstances I exercise time out and most children hate this as it involves being isolated from the rest of the family or group of people and being forced to rethink a given situation. With younger children a "naughty step" or chair is utilised and again the result is the child having to think about why they are there and apologising for their behaviour. With extremely young children it is the removal of them from the situation or showing them what it is you want them to do, without force or aggressive behaviour. In most situations the trick is to remain calm and try to stay detached as if you allow emotions to come into play then they get in the way and rational thought easily flies through the window into the ether lol. I guess what I'm trying to say is that we should try to educate our young people in how to chastise without violence (this should always be a last resort), without raised voices and without an action leading to an adverse reaction. We have, by many laws, hamstrung ourselves in how we can chastise and punish our children. Here in the UK we can't lock a child up ie put them in their room and lock the door, this is false imprisonment and a parent can be arrested for it. In the case of extreme punishment if a child is physically struck and then tells a teacher, the child can be removed from the household, police and social workers called and a six month program enforced to re-integrate the child back into the family environment. Go figure.... and I'm not talking about a regular beating or slapping, this is a one off, the result of consistent bad behaviour by the child involving Police coming to the home and anti-social behaviour orders being threatened against said child. So I guess I'm also saying, restraint, logic and a measured response in all forms of punishment.

Here in the UK a child can't take up paid work until the age of 14 and even then they are only allowed to work so many hours a week either as a paperboy(girl) or as an actor(ess). This is closely monitored and any exceptions to this have to be approved and can only happen a maximum of twice (if I remember rightly). However there are then the children who work and whose hours are NOT monitored in any way shape or form. I would (looking through rose coloured glasses) like to think that the majority of these children do so because they want to and are either on farms or working in the companies of their parents in preparation of one day running that company or business. Again I would hope that parents of said children would pay the child some form of wage/pocket money in exchange for services rendered lol. Then we have those children who are forced to work and these are the children we should be most concerned about. Be they child prostitutes, machinists or servants it should be stopped, but I am in no way blinkered to realise that it wont. Child Labour exists in most countries to some extent and education for some is a luxury. I agree with Granny that education is the most important thing for a child and this should be tempered with the ability to work should they want to from a given age ie 14, be it in school as form monitors/assistants, paper boys or undergoing some form of work experience for their chosen careers for example candy strippers in hospitals for those that wish to go into the medical professions etc.... Maybe this is idealistic and would most probably not work in the slightest, but I would like to think it could, not only would a child gain valuable experience in the work place but also gain confidence and learn the value of themselves and money.

Some of the armors in the vanilla games that I've played recently have had me wondering how on earth women are supposed to move in them to begin with as the plates (leather or metal) seem to reach knee level and beyond in some cases. Not only would crouching be nigh on impossible (getting back up would involve some form or hoist), sneaking and stealth would not be possible either and so full frontal assaults would be necessary at all times. Therefore when I look at armors (for both sexes) I look for practicality and looks. When my hero is out and about doing his or her good deeds I want them protected and safe, when at home or in a city then they can look like cool dudes in sexy clothes and weapons that look good but aren't necessarily for use lol. My companions are usually likewise dressed and protected and if we are launched into an unexpected battle then hopefully my magical abilities will be enough to assist with added protection. At the end of the day for me its about immersion, living a totally different life, being someone completely different (maybe the person I wish I was, be it male or female), and that should not matter in the slightest. If I like a mod I will download it, use it and (if I remember) endorse it. I have young children so I have to be careful what I download and use, although I have downloaded some totally risque stuff but have not been able to use it because of the risk of the children seeing it. It is a matter of choice and I loved Slofs Goth Shop for men and Apachii's Goddess Store for women depending upon my character at the time and what companions I had with me. The same goes for Dragon Age and hopefully for Skyrim. Let's all remember one thing what we use, wear or create can't denigrate women or men as it is not real, any of it. It is not based on fact and I'm sure Red Sonja and Conan would love half the creations created if not more.

Same here having random crashes both inside and outside. Inside usually when I go to go through a door to a "new" area. Outside if I'm trying to fast travel; there's a dragon about to appear and I'm not fast enough to tackle it; other random walkabouts which is so frustrating as I love just toddling round looking at everything. Hope someone, somewhere comes up with something to sort this out. I've done everything Bethesda have told me to do and more to no avail.

I have a Nvidia 420 which copes with most and my graphics run smoothly no lag. some missing meshes like I said but then I get the CDT with no exception, no error report, nothing. So confusing. I thought maybe Steam was overloading with everyone trying to play at once so was dumping people at random to clear space and give everyone a chance lol.

Same here. Random CDTs no error messages, nothing, game just seems to "shut down". After 10 hours of playing still level 2 and not out of Whiterun yet lmao Anyone know why this is happening it would be appreciated. P.S running Win7 32bit with Nvidia 420 graphics and 1Gb dedicated ram. 4Gb ram and plenty of hard drive space. In fact the game runs beautifully except for this unexpected CDT and some missing meshes.... having a whale of a time lol

There is a conflict with certain mods which stops this scene from playing. What mods do you have on.....

The override folder will always be sited in the C:\(My)Documents.... folder. As far as I am aware you can't move the actual mod folder as it wont be recognised. Tried many times myself but the only thing that will be moved is the actual game files eg the bin files etc and the toolset. If I'm wrong I'll apologise but I'm pretty sure this is the case. Let me know how you get on Naomi

have you left a space after the " ie " -enabledeveloperconsole???? there has to be a space after the " and before the - lol hope that helps

Have you patched the game up to the current patch. You have not mentioned this. I assume you may have done but its worth patching to at least 3 depending upon what DLC you have (at least one requires 4). Please let us know how you have got on...
