LE My top 5 mod desires for skyrim initially

[SaturnFX]

So, about a day and a bit before skyrim is unlocked.

I have been attempting (somewhat) to keep a blackout towards any big information out there about the game...of course, its difficult when your also lusting after it for months...but anyhow...

 

The top 5 wishlist for my initial modding experience would be (in no specific order beyond being within the top

 

-a really nice uncensored patch for the various races..well, new skin, high detail, etc...and a variety (should I want either full bush or totally shaven or variations). My computer kicks arse, so big textures are quite easy for me to run

 

-a deleveler of mobs. I did read it won't be as bad as oblivion's leveling of mobs...but no...at level 1, I want a thief to pwn me, and when level 20, the roadside thief is akin to a mouse...no super enchanted armor and sword of many deaths.

 

- Populated citys. I don't care how many new npc's they add...there is never enough for good computers...I want citys to be bustling with all sorts of people..and up the roads also. Oblivion (and even morrowind) always reminds me of a world that suffered the plague and most people are simply dead...some good mods in oblivion resolved this issue..some were great (roads seemed like a trail of army ants marching with all the travellers and whatnot)

 

-walking and idle animations redone...especially for the females. Hopefully they can seperate youthful women from old haggard women (slightly disturbing to see a 96 year old begger woman swaying her hips wildly as she wanders off...but then again, a secondary mod to bring the ages of the fems down to youthful resolves that...except for of course the old smokers voice coming out of some petite lil thing..

 

-Better menu fonts. The in game menu for your inventory, level up, etc...are modern and totally removes any immersion. just some better more medieval or fantasy fonts to replace the erm...ariel

 

 

Thats about it for now. the elder scrolls modders are the best out of any and all games, and I know throughout the days/months/years, we will have our collective minds blown by the absolutely fantastic and unique ideas they present to the community. a heartfelt thank you to all those whom do this out of love and creative expression...you lot make the game go from a 3 week addiction to a 5 year obsession.

 

Anyhow folks, I would like to hear your top 5 wishlist (or your top 5 plans on what you will attempt to mod first)...and if one of my things is already covered by the game, chime in and say not necessary.

You are right about how depopulated towns feel. Compared with AssassinsCreed towns looks like they are deserted. The mighty Cyrodiil capital of al Tamriel I think has a grand total of 100 citizens? I understand each and every NPC is hand crafter but why not to have generic characters like morrowind. Commoner / pauper (wandering the streets) / guard / stronger guard (when normal guards arent enough, around vaults) / monk (around religious places) / thief (found at night) / ranger (in the woods) / merchants traveling the roads etcetc

 

And yeah! I loved how a thief had better, more expensive armors than me. When i buyed/found/received after completing a quest a Gold armor I said to myself "Now I`ll go back and kick his ass". Guess what? Now he`s got Daedric armor /facepalm.
