Skyrim SE AE Survival Mode

[Adipose]

Got rid of a couple mods.  Survival Mode works fine now.  Absolutely, positively, boring, but it works.    AE still won't let the difficulty level go to legendary.  Forced to play on Novice. I could run Novice with steel fists and a wolf conjuration.   Well, that's not entirely true.  I've installed a few mods that will hand you an unpredictable whammy via bosses and some situations...particularly if you've made your followers more vulnerable.

Still, in the final analysis, Survival Mode is a huge disappointment...as is AE.  Wonder if Bethesda has dumbed it down in order to appeal to more little folks?

Think I'll go to the latest Witcher.  I could go back to Skyrim LE, but somehow the game's been damaged.  It's far more prone to blinking out when stressed the lest little bit.  Of Course, that may be my CPU or some other hardware problem.

I could always run my version of F4...without any hint of survival mode.  Problem with that is the war in Ukraine and the somewhat more real possibility of a nuke holocaust.  I don't even want to dwell on that one bit.  Fantasy is ever so much more detached from any hint of reality.
