Ambient Seagulls

Arguments

• Template:Yes Simple mod with a big impact for immersion.
• Template:No Adds something, not unnecessary a fix.
• Template:No 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 (Tech)

Better Bards

Arguments

• Template:Yes Fixes the awkward pauses between lines
• Template:Yes Does effect other dialog in the game because it edits a global variable to achieve this.

The change to the global variable is an optional file.

Template:Yes I wouldn't pay for someone who clearly forgets his/her lines. WilliamImm (talk) 20:57, June 22, 2013 (MDT)

Better Horse Pain Sounds

Arguments

• Template:No 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)

Template:Yes Hmmm, seems realistic to me. The new sounds don't really sound "happy" to me. Much better than vanilla to boot. ~z929669 Talk 01:13, June 19, 2013 (MDT)

• Template:Yes Well, spare a thought for the people who use headphones (like me) - I do not want to suffer ear damage. (William)

Template:Yes Kelmych (talk) 20:36, June 22, 2013 (MDT)

Better Weapon Swings

Arguments

• Template:Yes 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.(Tech)

Arguments

Immersive Thunder

Arguments

• Template:Yes Greatly improves the sound of thunder
• Template:No not compatible with some weather mods like CoT; note that I would actually prefer a version of CoT that used vanilla sounds so mods like this with better quality sounds could be used (Kelmych)
• Template:No General compatibility issues for Packs. This would be good for a light weather/lighting Pack. ~z929669 Talk 01:20, June 19, 2013 (MDT)

Arguments

• Template:No I like most of these changes, but a few shouts (primarily Aura Whisper) are immersion-breaking when they're given this much emphasis. (kry)

Template:Yes 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)
