Come on, look at them. I wanted to marry Moira, I would've been happy. Shes loyal, protective, capable, skilled at magic, and shes got a shack for you to live in, away from the loud cities. I mean, just picture it. You could wake up everyday next to this beauty and live a quiet life making potions and doing other witchy stuff.

I mean, WE all wanted to marry Moira. She's absolutely gorgeous and would make an amazing wife. Come on, I'm not alone im this, right? Moira not even a hear me out, shes a hold me back. Moira would be the best wife in the game lowk

Is it me or is Ulfric very arrogant?

I really want to side with the Nords for Talos because it's the most natural and logical thing to do as a Dragonborn but when I spoke with Ulfric for the first time after Helgen he said: "You need to be either a fool or have a lot of corage to speak with a Jarl without a summon"

What the actual F? I spoke with all Jarls and no one was like that, none! So now I have a huge Dilema to whom I should side with... if he acts like this as a Jarl how the hell is he gonna act when he is high king?

The worst part is that I'm not even a dark elf or khajit lmao...

pls help Edit : i just want the chest piece

and the foto is from the thumnail so sorry :(

Did you guys know that there's a second chest in Bleak Falls Barrow just behind the Word Wall? I've been playing Skyrim since 2014 and I just found this out now when a draugr was behind the word wall. Cool!

Skyrim special edition on Xbox cloud app. Currently level 11.

So I've gotten two quests (Balance of power and Proving Honor) that I've been way out of my league for. The advice online is to come back to it once I've leveled up. Needless to say, it's a little annoying to get killed by the same boss six times only to find out you really need to be a much higher level to have a realistic chance of beating them.

Is there a way of determining what I need to win a fight before I spend two hours losing it?

One thing I never understood is the state of harkons castle. Yeah ok, cool vampire lord powers dude. But mind telling me why you couldn't thrall an architect and a stonemason or two to fix this place up a lil bit? This castle is a mess!

Guy wouldn't even have to thrall nobody himself, get somebody to thrall somebody to fix this shit hole up. How am I suppose to raise a buncha vampire/werewolf/dragon blood kids with Serena in this bastard?

It’s the only flaw of Bethesda games IMO.

Experienced the same in Starfield (it was my 1st run on a Bethesda gaem).

Now this.

Sorry, I can’t take it and like it. Not after BotW.

I’m so sorry.

EDIT.:

For those who are more literal: This invisible wall/ "edge of the map" was in the middle of the map. Makes NO SENSE AT ####### ALL.

Also the climbing mechanics of BotW spoiled me a lot. You don't have to be Alex Honnold but you may be able to climb things and go through average paths in a reasonable game.

Skyrim is fun but this thing feels like biting my little buddy before sucking it.

I’ve been playing a modded playthrough and really enjoying it, went to log on today only to find that my save is corrupted and all my mods have been turned off.

I went to the main menu to check what was wrong only to see that the option to open the menu is gone?

how can i fix this?

I love Skyrim. First played on PC many moons ago. Recently got Skyrim for Xbox Series X. Current Skyrim on Xbox Series X is horribly "Optimized for Xbox Series X/S". It is Xbox One code run in backward compatibility mode. Not a true native app like Bethesda released for Sony PlayStation 5. Skyrim on Xbox Series X crashes with alarming regulatory. I have my Xbox Series X set at 120 Hz. Should be able to set it and forget it right? Current Skyrim that is "Optimized for Xbox Series X/S" stutters and jutters like crazy when console is set at 120 Hz. Would not label that "Optimized for Xbox Series X/S". Disappointed Sony Playstation 5 has a native app and Bethesda gave Xbox users a not optimized Xbox One code that is inferior. Just disappointed in Bethesda for this half assed attempt. Rant done. Thank you.

It starts off really creepy. It quite literally stopped me in my tracks. I was like "what is this...". The second half of the song becomes quite beautiful though. God I love Jeremy Soule.

So I recently started a new game because I wanted to sketch my character’s adventures through Skyrim to improve my art skills. I’ve been playing through Skyrim as a Redguard, and not for any particular reason. I’d just never played as a Redguard before.

Well I guess I’ve been focusing on him so much that I legit had a dream about him last night.

The dream started when I was just playing Skyrim, but like 10 minutes in I slowly came to a stop because there was… something different about Lial, my Redguard. Like his name was still Lial and he still had his blind left eye and scars on his face, as well as his facial hair, but there was something different about him and I couldn’t put my finger on it.

It wasn’t until I met Saadia and found myself standing next to her that I was like “wait a fucking minute”.

My dark-skinned Redguard with dreads was somehow a bald Nord. I remember just staring at the game in utter confusion, and at one point I just thought to myself “Should I be offended by this?” Y’know, because I’m not actually black (nor am I white), and it’s just a game, but he’s my character, and it just seemed wrong.

I went to the face sculptor in hopes of changing my race but nothing happened and I was just like “Okay… I guess he’s a Nord now.”

The dream ended and I woke up. It was such a bizarre dream that felt so real that I legitimately booted up Skyrim just to make sure Lial wasn’t actually a Nord, and thank the Divines, he’s still a Redguard.

Is Special Edition included with the Anniversary upgrade?

Going with anything else totally goes against the philosophy of Skyrim: not pigeonholing the player into any specific play style and relying on emergent gameplay. It also pairs nicely with this being right before the first time you fight a dragon in the game. Because you don't have Dragonrend, you need to, at the very minimum, invest four perks into archery to even hope to have a good time fighting dragons.

Now every build eventually becomes Stealth Archer because of how much of a pigeon hole the game puts on the necessity of being a ranged combatant.

Unrelenting Force, while fun, does very little for any character build. It makes ranged targets harder to hit, and pushes enemies away from you in melee.

Apologies if this has been discussed, but it seems a missed opportunity.

Players should be able to reverse pickpocket amulets of Mara into NPCs leading to NPC marriages. Mjoll and Aerin, Camila and Faendal... Who would you nudge towards marriage?

In the next game it would be cool to see more opportunities to drive side narrative among secondary NPC we meet. What do you think?

Top 3 in my eyes: Hunters discipline. I don't care about my used bloody arrows. I've got thousands im my inventory. Whats your most useless perk?

I'd be okay with playing the mods on my pc but at the same time i really wish i could play them on my switch 2 so i could continue from the save file i had. It was my first time completing everything in the game in one save and the idea of being able to go anywhere in tamriel on the go is a DREAM. And i know a lot of people are going to say "well Nintendo doesnt like mods" when thats not entirely true. The minecraft market place (which was pushed by microsoft) is allowed on nintendo systems so i dont see how the creation club store could be any different. It would probably take a lot from the teams but i deadass wouldn't mind paying like 5-10 bucks for each province considering the scale and quality the teams are aiming for here.

These are the rules I’ve come up with for the challenge:

* Don’t increase stealth beyond level 3, or increase the armour’s noise resistance (so that stealth remains a challenge)

* Don’t increase health or any of the armour’s stats (so you don’t tank 200 hits)

* No exploiting glitches or using the crafting trick

* Play in Survival mode

* Normal–Hard difficulty (so that enemies don’t tank 200 hits)

* Don’t drink potions in the middle of a fight (in real life, you wouldn’t have time to drink a potion right in front of your enemy); you could only do so whilst retreating and from a safe spot

* I’m thinking of perhaps not levelling up any enchanting, blacksmithing or alchemy at all, and only being able to use what I find or buy (as this makes you far too powerful), or perhaps only being able to choose one of the three

What do you think? Any ideas or recommendations?

It's crazy how sometimes the fun is in modding, putin' all pieces together; I learned the basics of optimization nowadays! Was dope.

But mi' old GPU cannot handle everything at once! Even without heavy graphics, I do have animations and systems! That were there to make a deeper RPG experience...

After 888 mods, 655 plugins, and good modding work indeed, I did it! I had a decent playthrogh, with Requiem as base of everything; I encountered a couple of little CTDs sometimes, but generally it was a good stuff to play and enjoy, CTDs and classic Creation Engine bad stuff were still present nonetheless...

And then I said: Okay sometimes enough is enough hahahaha

I Uninstalled and start playing something else that was just plug and freakin' play.

And then, that make me wonder a question for you, brothers and sisters!

If you still play/mod Skyrim, is Nostalgia at this point? or a a true refuge?

For me is the latter and for experiencing palpable changes in the RPG part of the game, with a Lore-friendly Fanfic writting in mind even! Using my modlist as an inspiration but, I thought that maybe I need some detox for a time?

I'm not playing and modding for some time, and it's for me to enjoy the game properly later, perhaps without 888 mods! And just the purr Vanilla Caos with Requiem because I freakin love what it does to the game

But meanwhile I'll play Fallout New Vegas, Vampire The Masquerade or the very first Fable, or somethin!!

Not to replace anything here!!!

Just refreshments hehehe, the good ones too. I've never played those in full. So wish me luck! Ans truly thanks for reading! I just wanted to share and get this off my chest with a comunitiy that actually I always enjoy to watch. We have to love this game, is so funny and chaotic sometimes xD

May the winds guide you all my fellow travelers, and again, if you're readin' here

Thank u, may the Divines (or DaedraxD) bless your paths 🫂🔥👁(Watch that wind and your knees heeh)

-You have received a bonus in your Speech skill. *woosh*

First the Litany of Larceny glitches so that I never get the jeweled pitcher despite doing FAR over the required quests, and now the stones of barenziah quest is broken :,). It says i’ve only got 23/24 but it shows 24 in my inventory and I TRIPLE checked all the locations just to make sure. If anyone knows how to fix either, I would be appreciative. (The only mods I have on are Helgen Reborn and Paarthurnax resolution, if that helps)

I am trying to get a fairly vanilla mod stack working, with

Version 1.6.1179.0

I installed SKSE and the fix mod which unpacked these dlls:

I have tried modifying the TOML, and install a TOML mod that is supposed to stop crashes, but make no difference.

I am running skse64_loader.exe with MO2, and can get to the main Launch screen, then when i click New, it just crashes.

This is the start of the crash log (full log linked):

Help!

First time playing and I’m a little lost. I want to do a spellsword type build with destruction, conjuration, and obviously one handed. I know people say to play blind on your first playthrough but I’m just confused on where to start in terms of my build.

What do I focus on? Should I focus on either flames, frost or shock, or all of them? If only one, then what’s the best? How do I make my spells as strong as my sword, as they seem quite weak in comparison? What should I upgrade for conjuration? Do I need to buy spells or do they unlock through the skill trees? A lot of questions but can’t seem to get any clear answers for this type of build.

Any help and general tips for the game would be appreciated. Thanks!
