How to get back into Skryim?

Recommended Posts

I got Skyrim almost a year ago and spent 277 hours in it. But now I am uninspired. My last attempt was 3 months ago.. I did reasonably well, got my mage to level 100 Conjuration and all that jazz. But afterwards I couldn't find the spark to get back into it and with Company of Heroes 2 being the last game I have before being burnt out on all the games I own let me ask. How can I recapture the magic that Skyrim first had when I began last year?

If you haven't already, try Alternate Start - Live Another Life and You are not the Dragonborn together. I tried it and I've been on the play-through I used this mod on for awhile now, I still feel like a different person in the world. With these two mods you can truly role-play and feel like someone else in the fantasy world of skyrim.

You are not the dragonborn is just a more expedient way for me to avoid most things during my previous playthroughs (Got AS and never looked back tbh). As far as the above post; Fallout 4 is more likely coming next and then tes vi. That's a lot of time inbetween to play more elder scrolls.

277 hours is not a lot for Skyrim, I have played the game for longer than that on my console without mods.

 

You should cater your mod list to individual character set up. There is lots of concepts to play with. Some things I have tried before:

 

1. Full time bard or undercover assasin.

 

 

Become a Bard (steam)

 

 

2. Professional hunter.

 

Training Dummies and Targets

Hunting in Skyrim - A Hunting Guild

Animallica - Skyrim Wildlife Overhaul - Lore Version (does not give pelts, but it's nice to see some diversity)

+any mod that allows you to camp (Frostfall, RND, AFT, Camping Kit of the Nordic Ranger, etc)

 

 

3. Bounty Hunter.

 

Increased Bounty Rewards

Hoth follower (generates bounty quests)

Plus combination of combat mods. My recommendation:

-Ultimate Combat

-Ultimate Dragons

-Combat Evolved

-Action Combat

-Immersive Detection of NPC

 

 

4. Treasure Hunter.

 

Grumpy Lockpicking

Skyrim Unique Treasures

Underwater Treasures

Kynesguard and Deadra Hunter

Northern Encounters

 

 

5. Bandit / Bully

 

Intimidating Dragornborn Bully

Sarcastic Player Dialogue WIP

Become A Highwayman

Get Out Of My Way

Master of Disguise

 

 

6. Skooma Dealer (Breaking Bad - Skyrim edition)

 

Become a Skooma Dealer

+Riverside Shack Skooma Dealers Den

Dragonkiller Cart Reloaded (Get this together with Organized Bandits In Skyrim and Death Alternative - Your Money or Your Life. Have fun!)

Drinking Contest

Toxicity - A Witcher-like Toxicity system

 

 

7. Interesting idea:

 

Hold and Defend (take over fort or other location)

Spouses Can Live Everywhere / MHiYH 2plus (move in with followers)

Jaxonz Positioner (redecorate)

Jaxonz Furnishings

(profit? :tongue: )

 

 

Mods for more diverse enemies:

Bandits Glory (Superb!)

OBIS

SIC

 

Worth getting:

Death Alternative - Your Money or Your Life

Death Alternative - Captured

Death Alternative - Alternate Start Addon (for LAL)

RND or iNeed

Convenient Horses (Incorporates immersive ways to manage your horse - wave/whistle. Comes with saddle bag and new armors/saddles.)

New fresh look for landscape:

Not including real lfe, bring yourself and as many friends as you can. Skyrim is a breath of fresh air and a moment or two of wait, oh heck, and another breath of fresh air. Ohhh, wait, that was cool, then breath again. Bring yourself my friend, it is all you need.
