Mookeylama Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 vanilla time runs too fast for me. would like longer days. was gonna use the day extender mod from ERSO, either 12:1 ratio or 5:1 (i think vanilla is 20:1?). so would extending time mess up quests?

ripple Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) ERSO's timescale plugins (and any other timescale esp's, for that matter) are for people who can't/don't want to change the timescale via console for whatever reason. Unless you have a compelling reason not to use the console, you should use the console to change the timescale instead of an extra esp in your load order. Open console, and typeset timescale to # (where # = the number of game minutes per real time minute) I always change the timescale in every Bethesda gamebryo game since Oblivion, but only after the completion of the tutorial. Never had an issue with quests (except that annoying master trainer in Oblivion who insisted your character go underwater with him and hold breath for xx amount of time).

kryptopyr Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 What timescale do you use? I was considering lowering the timescale for my next play through as well. I found a number of sites where the recommendation was to keep it above 5 to avoid quest problems. General consensus on the sites I found seemed to be 8-10 for the recommended setting. Though, to be fair, I also found several people who were playing at 5 and claimed they hadn't experienced any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted1308005User Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 .. I'm playing alwas with timescale of 5 and I didn't even know it could have problems. At least I haven't personally encountered anything weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripple Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 My timescale is 8. I use a food/drink/sleep mod and 8 seems to work well for my preference. I use to set it to 7 when I played Oblivion and Fallout 3, but found the day passed a bit too slow for my taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eckss Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 If you set the Timescale to below 2, it causes problems for NPCs trying to transition between cells. At 2 - 4 it can make certain scripted scenes play a bit strangely (try watching the execution scene aftermath when first arriving in Solitude with timescale set to 2) and it can cause some strange interactions (such as the premature Thane bug) between quests. Once the Timescale is above 4-5, I think everything settles down to being normal, or as near as makes no difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eckss Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Yes it persists in your save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
