Eliminates a lot of that annoying noise and improves immersion. ~FarloTalk 17:48, June 9, 2013 (MDT)

Ambient Seagulls

Votes

Simple mod with a big impact for immersion. ~FarloTalk 17:52, June 9, 2013 (MDT)

Adds something, not unnecessary a fix. Thecompiler (talk) 18:07, June 9, 2013 (MDT)

Replaces the wave sounds with ones with seagulls included, meaning you'll hear seagulls when there are none around. I'm recommending for complete removal from STEP. Birds of Skyrim adds seagull sounds where they are appropriate. On-going testing going on here: Ambient Seagulls Techangel85 (talk) 11:42, June 11, 2013 (MDT)

Better Bards

Votes

Fixes the awkward pauses between lines Techangel85 (talk) 11:48, June 11, 2013 (MDT)

Does effect other dialog in the game because it edits a global variable to achieve this. Kryptopyr (talk) 14:25, June 12, 2013 (MDT)

I like the pauses and the original flow ~z929669 Talk 01:08, June 19, 2013 (MDT)

The change to the global variable is an optional file. I wouldn't pay for someone who clearly forgets his/her lines. WilliamImm (talk) 20:57, June 22, 2013 (MDT)

Better Horse Pain Sounds

Votes

Not realistic. Horses don't nicker and whinny when you ride them off a cliff. I agree there is definitely room to improve the vanilla sounds, but pain sounds probably shouldn't be "pleasant." Kryptopyr (talk) 08:19, June 9, 2013 (MDT)

Hmmm, seems realistic to me. The new sounds don't really sound "happy" to me. Much better than vanilla to boot.~z929669 Talk 13:17, June 24, 2013 (MDT)

Better Weapon Swings

Votes

A bit better than vanilla; however, some are a bit exaggerated. No one is going to be able to swing a great sword so fast to get that loud of a "whoosh" out of it. I have a few real swords I tested this with and can honestly say this mod exaggerates the sounds. Techangel85 (talk) 11:53, June 11, 2013 (MDT)

Greatly improves the sound of thunder. Not compatible with some weather mods like CoT. Techangel85 (talk) 22:48, June 9, 2013 (MDT)

(compatibility problems with other mods; I do feel mods like this have better quality sounds than the weather mods like CoT) Kelmych (talk) 13:39, June 15, 2013 (MDT)

General compatibility issues for Packs. This would be good for a light weather/lighting Pack. ~z929669 Talk 01:19, June 19, 2013 (MDT)

Thundering Shouts

Votes

Improvement over vanilla but not necessary. Techangel85 (talk) 12:29, June 11, 2013 (MDT)

I like most of these changes, but a few shouts (primarily Aura Whisper) are immersion-breaking when they're given this much emphasis. Kryptopyr (talk) 14:09, June 19, 2013 (MDT)

Kelmych (talk) 20:33, June 22, 2013 (MDT)

There might be a way to create a wizard that allows selecting which shouts to enhance and which to leave alone. So, for quiet shouts, they are left alone, but others can be enhanced by this mod. Just an idea. WilliamImm (talk) 20:55, June 22, 2013 (MDT)
