Re: The Elder Scrolls X : Thalmor or Less
I'm at level 73 or so on my Dunmer Vampire Ninja Bacon Wizard, so I guess I fall into the 'way too high a level' camp. But I view Skyrim more as an exercise in polishing than a narrative to be completed. I'm basically ready to finish the main quest, I've just been putting it off while I do stuff like find every Standing Stone, collect Barenziah's hat, learn every Thu'um, claim every Daedric artifact, etc. I've been putting off going to Solstheim, should I do that before or after I dispose of Alduin?

"None of us likes to be hated, none of us likes to be shunned. A natural result of these conditions is, that we consciously or unconsciously pay more attention to tuning our opinions to our neighbor’s pitch and preserving his approval than we do to examining the opinions searchingly and seeing to it that they are right and sound." - Mark Twain

Re: The Elder Scrolls X : Thalmor or Less
Their first attempt to kill me was at my front door to Proudspire Manor when I got up in the morning to do a quest. I was around level 16.
It was kind of funny to step out and there they are, like they're Miraak's Witnesses.
"Have you accepted the word of Miraak today?"
Just my luck that no one passed by that alcove and saw our fight (and my character's weakness being melee). Guards didn't even show up despite that I FUS-ROH-DAH'd one of the cultists into my neighbor's door. I hid the bodies afterwards, and occasionally you can hear the kids shout "Ah, dead body!" when they're playing tag. Funny thing is when I checked on the kids the first time, they were rummaging through the cultist pockets.

Re: The Elder Scrolls X : Thalmor or Less
I find it pretty hilarious that Miraak's cultists are categorically less of a threat than the hired thugs that come after me. Partially is the mod I have that boosts the armor cap to 90%, which wouldn't seem to make much difference, but it really does. Not that crossbows, or magic care in the slightest.

Re: The Elder Scrolls X : Thalmor or Less
So, I picked up Skyrim from the Steam Sale today, and downloaded mostly bugfix mods so far. Are there any Project Nevada-level must-have mods for Skyrim?

Re: The Elder Scrolls X : Thalmor or Less
Along with the previously mentioned SkyUI, have you gotten the unofficial patches (1 for the main game and 1 for each DLC)?
At some point, you will likely want Live Another Life so you don't have to play the very long tutorial every time you start a new game.
Immersive Armors and Immersive Weapons add so many options to the game. If you get them, also snag Complete Crafting Overhaul, which makes crafting armor and weapons so much better.
Helgen Reborn is supposed to be really good. I haven't played it, but my wife did and enjoyed it, and it has a lot of good reviews.
Legacy of the Dragonborn is AMAZING, thought I would recommend waiting until it comes out of beta. The author thinks updates can be made without breaking existing games, but is not 100% sure.
Run for Your Lives and When Vampires Attack will keep NPCs alive by having them run away from dragons and vampire attacks in cities. (Novel concept - run away from the fire breathing monster! )
Stones of Barenziah Droppable Plus Quest Markers. Just trust me on this.
Timing is Everything isn't as important as other mods, but is extremely useful.
Weapon and Armor Fixes RemadeHello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

Re: The Elder Scrolls X : Thalmor or Less
It is entirely possible - and enjoyable - to play Skyrim with no mods at all.

Re: The Elder Scrolls X : Thalmor or Less
I found Skyrim unplayable without the UI fix. I really wish cross-platform programmers would realize how obnoxious a console UI is when you're on a PC. "Why can't I click here? I can move my cursor RIGHT HERE, but when I click HERE it moves to THERE because it assumes I'm using a console despite being loaded on my PC?"

Re: The Elder Scrolls X : Thalmor or Less
One of the most annoying ones was when you're clicking on the sub categories in the inventory. Clicking on the O in ARMOR works, but if you click on the middle of it? WOOPS! You clicked outside of the inventory so clearly you wanted to exit it!
And the strange limitation of Favorited Quick buttons to 8 numbers instead of the obvious 10 that are available.
That's about all really. I got used to it and by the time I learned about the UI fix I was more tempted to just complete the game as entirely Vanilla. Fairly certain I made the wrong decision.

Re: The Elder Scrolls X : Thalmor or Less
Oh yes this. I ended up getting the dialogue and message box fix mods and life was SO much better after that. I was resistant to getting SkyUI myself at first, because I knew once I started to add mods, it would never end. Well it's technically ended for the most part, now I just keep updated (to a point), but mostly I'm done with anything else. Then again, I've hit my computer's limit on what's still playable and enjoyable, so I'm hovering at about 95-100 mods active. Mostly they're small and I probably could merge a few, but I like having the ability to tweak ONE thing at a time, rather than having to deal with creation kit to turn off/on that ONE thing that I'm kind of iffy about.
I used to live in a world of terrible beauty, and then the beauty left.

Re: The Elder Scrolls X : Thalmor or Less
I find this all very odd. I also play on the pc, without any mods (as I mentioned), and have never had any problems with inventory, dialogue or option screens.
I'm destined to be the odd one out on this particular topic, it seems.Awesome fremetar by wxdruid.

Re: The Elder Scrolls X : Thalmor or Less
I just got Skyrim on the Steam Summer Sale.
I started my first playthough. Upon entering Riverwood, I killed a chicken.
I died almost instantly. In confusion, I looked the Riverwood Chicken up online.
Lesson: Chickens are holy creatures in Skyrim.

Re: The Elder Scrolls X : Thalmor or Less
It's amusing how much video game logic takes over. You wouldn't really think to murder a real-life chicken in full view of its owners while passing through town and expect a bemused glance and an offer of a quest, right?
Apparently in Skyrim everyone's so sick and tired of enforcing laws that even minor theft is looked up on as a capital offense. Just so you know.
