TES V: Skyrim


Recommended Posts

The required specs are actually pretty close to Oblivion. Probably because the game needs to run on the current generation of consoles... Which also run Oblivion.

 

I'm somewhat tempted, but I dunno. Putting aside the very many other games in my pile, I don't like the way certain mechanics have been dumbed down. That said, certain videos make me sure I'd have a ball playing it. Obviously, these aren't the sort of videos Bethesda themselves would publish, which is ironic as they're far more effective in terms of advertising to some of us.

 

Mods are what I'd be waiting for. Not only will they fix bugs and improve performance (something we can assume Bethesda is also working on), they may be able to re-introduce some of the old features.

 

Hmm. I'm starting to think that maybe I only like TES games for their bugs. It wasn't until I heard about the joys of exploiting alchemy in Morrowind that I finally started playing that game (however many years after buying it!). In Oblivion, I can easily amuse myself for half an hour or so abusing the ramp bug to attempt to jump on top of the temples (haven't made it yet... just a few more speed enchants and I reckon I'll do it, though...).

I have a small list already - but depends on your licking

 

Realistic_Ragdoll_Death_Force-601-1-0 - this is a must it reduces the force on deaths meaning if you cam kill the body won't fly away (same with magic)

 

Improved_Destruction_Magic_v1_3-611 - if you are mage it is good to have because destruction magic is shit in this game.

 

Clothes_Improvement-113-1-0 - better texture quality

Armor_Improvement-106-1-0 - better texture quality

Enhanced_Blood_Textures-60-0-01 - better texture quality

 

others I have that improves women - just pop in on skyrim nexus and you can take your picks

 

Edit:

 

Just follow this to know about good mods for Skyrim:

Just focus on the main quest, and optionally the Civil War quest, after that the rest is just a bit too much.

Those two are pretty large on their own anyway. The Civil War quest could have been done a bit better, but it was fun nevertheless.

Installed the mods presented in the video that Thorondor mentioned here:

Well I needed to start new game because my old saves went bye bye... 82 hours of playing bite the dust. I've started the game and stopped after being freed from the chains. I can only say that it looks different. I played the game on GTX460 now with GTX660 I have more FPS and definitively with those mods the game looks better on the first look. Might tell bit more when I will get to the more greener pastures.

Played a bit - gone to Whiterun. I don't know if I have the same lighting as that guy, but with those textures and some other mods game looks quite as the PC games should look like (Crysis excluded).

 

This is the cave when you run from Helgen

Btw: Outdoors my PC runs on minimum 30 FPS. And that is i5-760 @3.7GHz, Gigabyte GTX660 OC, 8GB Ram... so yeah... when new Intel CPU comes I might go for SLi ;) or probably wait with SLi for GTX760 ;)
