We most certainly had one around... maybe it was still in anthology under dropped mods?

Closed.

For me they float on everybody. That's the main reason I hate backhip-whatever.

This is a known issue. We might want to include a note in the guides about this one...

Well I've been playing it until 6 months ago. Like you, I got it to look good, but gameplay ... is lacking for me. That was in fact the reason I stopped playing it.

I'ld say use Dukes Heavy Combat, ASIS, EBT, DSI, BFS, Immersive armors&weapons (scripts randomly picking gear for bandits), magic duel, DCO, Immersive Patrols, and/or perhaps some others I couldn't think of at the moment.

Well, so will we keep our recommendations to use all of the book of silence stuff or do we need to go through this update completely before picking our recommendations for CORE?

Just for fun I once had 10 simultaneous followers. It was impossible to enter dungeons, but once upon a time 2 dragons attacked my little warband. My followers all had pretty good gear on (my character was lvl 35, so not übergear). 2 dragons attacked (deadly dragons+SkyRe) and in about 4 minutes I had no followers left. I actually managed to kill the dragons, but it took me 30 minutes on my own. Still, I'ld say 3 followers including any pets is an absolute max for general playing. It will be incredibly hard to hold on to them throughout the game though. Better have some reserves ready :D

Now I get it. Lame joke though. In German you can spell it with "f" or "ph".

Why did he remove the chainmail? it makes Ysgramor a lot more badass looking...

That's right. You make those rock textures, and renowned texture artists will use them as a base to create even better ones ;-)

I like fotorealism better anyways ... however we would need fotorealism in most aspects of the game, so it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb...

Well I think it might be realistic though... A dragon lands right infront of you, you get blown away. Wearing about 20-30 kg of armor plus grabbing on to your shield and sword you get thrown into the air and crash onto the ground. First couple of seconds you'll be more like: "OMFG", trying to scramble to your feet you'll try to first get on all fours use your weapon to pull you upright. You kind of get it. Medieval combat has nothing to do with chinese superhumans flying a 100 meters and then pushing their sword into the water the fly 30 meters up and come down with 300 km/h creating shockwaves as strong as a 800 kg bomb. What I hate about vanilla stand up animation is that it only starts when you are lying still. Fighting the first dragon outside of whiterun he'll blow me off my feet, and in slowmotion I'll slide down that ramp which leads to the tower. Plus I don't like that it takes the same amount of time no matter what gear you are wearing... And jumping whilst lying on ground or when the animation is playing ... is just awful! :D

Haha, this mod has become part of vanilla for me as well ;-)

i would prefer an even more carved look, closer to vanilla, but with a darker paint, which should contrast strongly with the rest of the sign...

But if you change your face, and you have formerly been recognized as Dragonborn, champion of the realm and whatever, all those titles should be taken away from you, plus all your land possessions. Or at least you have to kill random NPCs that inhabit your houses after you "vanished" from Skyrim to never be seen again.

With some mods the vamps can actually eradicate smaller cities such as Morthal. Funny thing, though.

https://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/41335/? This is a possible candidate for core, at least the 1k version. IMO the higher resolutions are not needed (from what the compares of the MO show).

From what i've read they have improved some things that were off in the original rome. I can't say how they behave ingame yet, as some of the features sound weird when only reading their desriptions. However they have added many cool things to the campaign to make it more dynamic. I've always liked politics, so i'm hoping for some cool plotting and backstabbing. Also the Coop mode sounds awesome!

I had an issue with one follower, don't know about multiple. Lydia would disappear from the cart halfway to windhelm, and reappear only after I would enter windhelm.

Can't wait until it gets activated! Anybody else playing it? I've always loved the TW series, but Rome was the first game of it I ever played, so I'll probably get some nostalgia moments going back there BUT with awesomest graphics!!! Also the games are moddable, which is another reason I love them ;-)

Add ASIS and SkyTEST to that and puff, there goes your skyrim ;D

https://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/41207 This mod is a retex of everything that has to do with crafting armor and weapons. However paging through the screens the author took himself, this mod will definitely need to be analyzed thoroughly and not all textures should be used (in my opinion at least). We would need compares between current STEP and the various retexes (version 1 and 2) this mod offers plus compare them to vanilla to make a choice.

https://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/41376 This mod caught my interest. I thought it was a letdown you could not become one of the greybeards, like you could become one of the blades. This mod sounds really interesting, the new shouts sound as if they would fit the others, and the tests of faith sound awesome! Meditating is yet another mini-game, but well, I've never had any problems with those anyways. What do you guys think?
