The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - MODS & TWEAKS

Played about an hour. Seems really good. A lot to get used to though, as it is a long time since I played Skyrim.... Though I did play over 400 hours!

It looks quite good, but fps isn't great. I think it is the grass. I'll have to try and tweak that.

It is very linear so far.

It was the shadows that was a FPS choker for me. Knocked them down to medium, now it runs @ 60fps.

Pighardia · 19 Aug 2016 at 21:25

Thanks I'll try that.

Edit- yes that has done it. Much better now!

I'm enjoying it. You have to take it for what it is though, and that is a free mod of a 5 year old game.

My FPS has tanked again at the first town!

I'm looking forward to trying it out once I finally get my GPU back - damn Inno3D for not having a Europe-based returns service :mad:

I just added vivid enb. The game looks amazing, and now runs at 60fps in the town that was dropping to sub 20!

Also, didn't realise this was directly related to Nehrim. Lots of references and links to it so far.

Edit- really in to it now. Very good.

Ive been using Vivid Enb too. Looks real good for its age.

I'm at the main city in Enderal now. Really impressed, but it does seem a little empty. I hope they add some more life to the world when they add bits they say they are going to(i read they are in planning on guild quests!)

Really enjoying it. Reminds me of The Witcher a bit. The voice acting is very good too. One thing I'm not keen on though is the levelling mechanic, which is a step down from Skyrim imo, being based on books.

One or the best things about it is it is a lot more cinematic than skyrim, and it really works. Unfortunately that does make the game a bit more linear though.

About 20 hours in to Enderal now. The story is excellent, and the cinematic style is great.

I don't think I could say that the game itself is better than Skyrim, as that is an unfair comment imo, but what I can say is that I am enjoying the story and side quests more, and if I had the option(well, I do)I would rather replay this than Skyrim!

Also I have some mods working with it fine, which is great.

Blown away by the quality. The world and lore they have created has so much detail and is really interesting. I have had one CTD so far, and no noticeable bugs

Guys quick question - is it correct that the Skyrim Special Edition will be treated as another completely separate game, so if I therefore wanted to mod my original Skyrim Legendary Edition they would have no impact on one another? (This is on Steam by the way)

Not a clue but at a guess I'd say yes as the game will have a new engine etc so all new files.
So mod away

They have said it will be a separate entry in Steam.

The special edition is going to be a complete minefield when it comes to porting mods from the original

FlamBango · 23 Aug 2016 at 10:26

is there a release date for the SE? I just installed Skyrim but wont play it if the new one is due in a couple of weeks. Or could you just copy your saved game over to the new install?

Pighardia · 23 Aug 2016 at 17:07

Some screenshots from Enderal-

Looks good, has a witcher 3 look in places with the colourful meadow flowers and misty mountains.

Pighardia · 23 Aug 2016 at 22:24

It is very Witcher-y in most ways. The main city really reminds me of Vizima form the first Witcher, crossed a bit with Baldur's Gate. In fact, it is one of the best cities I've seen in a rpg tbh. It is absolutely massive!
The tone and quality of the writing and lore is very reminiscent of The Witcher as well...though the main story itself is basically Mass Effect. The characters are really well written too.

I would actually say it is the best game I've played in a while!

Which is the best ENG for enderal? i plan on playing @ 4k w/ DOF turned off.

Pighardia · 24 Aug 2016 at 09:51

I'm using Vivid enb.http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/77262/?

The grass is especially good in Enderal imo.

Goose · 24 Aug 2016 at 16:51

Anyone know of a nice ENB that doesn't make every interior and cave etc so dark you cant see a friggin thing? So I've tried RealVision, Seasons of Skyrim and Natural Lighting and Atmospherics.
