You guys are a bunch of milk-drinkers.  Yeah I might play ESO.

What mods do you guys recommend I use when I play it my first time? 

Since you guys are seasoned vets of it and all.. 

Honestly, I think the out-of-the box version is fine for your first time through.  After you've logged a few hours, you'll probably have a better idea of what sort of mods you'd like, or better understand what the mods really do.

thats not a bad idea

A few other mods to add in addition to Ink's list.

You want to get "SkyUI", it really improves the older interface and lets you change a bunch of parameters.

Also you'll need the "SKSE" or Skyrim Script Extender, it's not a mod per say but a new launcher that allows Skyrim to use more memory IIRC. The SKSE is needed for many mods to run including some of the ones Ink listed. It's safe and you use it to launch the game instead of steam.

A few more mods I recommend for realism are "Frostfall - Hypothermia & Camping Gear Mod", "Realistic Needs & Diseases", and "Hunterborn".

And as Ink has said you really need to use the NMM, it make's your life so much easier when dealing with cleanup and seeing if there are conflicts. Right now I think I have around 80 mods installed and I rarely have any issues, though you do need to read the descriptions and make sure a mod doesn't conflict with something else. I highly recommend using little to no mods on your first playthru as it'll give you an idea on what you want to install. Just installing a few mods can completely change the game and makes Skyrim highly replayable.


And finally you need to download skimpy armor and sexy skin replacers for Lydia, it's a rite of passage for nerds to roam around Skyrim with Lydia following in her chain-mail bikini.

You can all kiss all of this good bye.


Take the elder scrolls and shelf it forever.




Soon, even the fallout's will all be mmorpg's.  No player development, nothing unique. Ya want something new? PAY FOR IT.

There are several types of dragons that are from various strenghts and resistances. I had good times with a two handed barbarian but an archer was ultimately my most fun character. Had to sneak a lot and deliver flamed arrows that send enies fly off bridges on fire. Werewolve was cool, being a vampire was ok despite the power boost from being at night on a lvl 4 hunger.

The samurai armor and sword was really cool.

Yep thieves are the most fun, and the most useful, at least that's been my experience so far.

I'm pretty sure Angry Joe was stoned when that dog came up and started talking to him, that must've been awesome. Man I haven't gotten high in like two years, probably why I hardly play aces high anymore

You're right, forget TES:

I think an orc sold me some bunk moon sugar. I bought some moon sugar from an orc hanging out on a bridge at night, I ate it but it didn't really do anything, am I doing it wrong? My instincts told me never buy moon sugar from an orc, maybe I should've listened to my own instincts.

[APDrone]

Um...  you're supposed to refine moon sugar into Skooma..

That's probably akin to eating weed.

 

A buddy of mine built a mod that realistically incorporated weather/hypothermia/health.  I sent him this..




As far as that Warhorse thing looks.. pretty graphics.. but how is the gameplay?

Warhorse is the name of the studio, not the game.  The game is called Kingdom Come: Deliverance, this is their Kickstarter page.

It's not out yet, they're still in production. Don't know too much about the gameplay, other than there being no magic or other fantasy elements (it's set in Bohemia in 1403, following Sigismund's deposing of Wenceslaus), and the fighting system is being built around the historical fechtbuchen (so no generic fantasy hack-and-slash).

I've been wanting to see that in a game for a LONG time.
