STEP:Core Proposal/E

Altar Descriptions

Arguments

• Template:No This mod does not fix any problems, and the changes it makes are not a clear improvement over vanilla. Many players may find it unnecessary or even immersion-breaking. (kryptopyr)

Agree. It is an immersion breaker. ~z929669 Talk 00:36, June 9, 2013 (MDT)

Categorized Favorites Menu

Arguments

• Template:No Pending the release of SkyUI 4.0, which has a more vanilla-friendly favorites menu with many of the same features and without the need for an extra mod (or two), I would vote this one out completely. Link to Gopher's Preview (Tech)
• Template:Yes Compatible with SkyUI as long as you disable a feature in SkyUI's MCM menu.

Disease Descriptions

Arguments

• Template:No Adds descriptions of the disease you may be affected by. This is not lore/vanilla-friendly. Unless the PC is an alchemist, a doctor, or the illness is common (such as a cold) it is unlikely the PC will know the details this mod adds. (Tech)

Template:No ~z929669 Talk 00:47, June 9, 2013 (MDT)

Dungeon Quest Awareness

Arguments

• Template:No I'm not certain exactly which quests this mod "fixed," but I suspect that most of the quests that could be broken by discovering the location prior to starting the quest have now been fixed by USKP in a much more immersion-friendly manner. (kryptopyr)
• One of the experienced admin (Neo or William), this mod needs to be compared to USKP for conflicts, fixes for each, and whether it is or isn't needed anymore (it's over a year old without being updated). (Tech)

Interface Key Tweaks

Arguments

• Provides more user control and options. Does not take away anything, only gives options. Should be considered more a utility than anything else. ~z929669 Talk 00:50, June 9, 2013 (MDT)

Lore-Based Loading Screens

Arguments

• Template:No Unnecessary change that takes up an .esp slot. I like this mod, but I don't believe it belongs in Core STEP. (kryptopyr)

Main Font Replacement

Arguments

• Template:No Can create clipping and run off issues, as well as size and legibility issues (granted some fonts are worse than others, but none of them are a clear improvement over vanilla, just something different). (kryptopyr)
• Template:Yes Does not use a plugin slot & vanilla fonts are a lot more 'modern' than in previous TES games. I vote that Magic Cards be the new norm. No issues with that one. ~z929669 Talk 00:55, June 9, 2013 (MDT)

No Boring Wait Menu

Arguments

• Template:No Menu is not vanilla-friendly (Tech)
• Template:Yes Allows for an increased and easy wait time; however, that's rarely needed during actual play and mainly for mod troubleshooting, most of the time (Tech)

No Menu & Loading Smoke

Arguments

Time On Loading Screen

Arguments

Unique Region Names

Arguments

Unknown Enchants

Arguments

• Template:Yes A PC would never forget an enchantment that he/she knows. The player might, but not the character being controlled. I think this corrects and oversight. ~z929669 Talk 01:09, June 9, 2013 (MDT)
