Just started playing this game again because of Dawnguard. Ended up going down the vampire route, and it's a lot of fun.

I enjoy the weird bugs that these kinds of games have.. You don't see them in a lot of games. I was wandering around an old fort and for some reason Sanguine was wandering around in there killing everything. xD Random or what.

You can but it's a little harder to manage all your mods that way. Plus I think the steam workshop is harder to navigate, but that's just my opinion.

I'd have to agree. I like using Nexus Mod Manager to manage my mods.

I shouldn't have any issues moving from Workshop to Nexus, should I? One of the irritating things about Steam is the mods are size-capped. But like I said I have about 34 mods right now and I just don't want to corrupt my save - if that's even an issue.

It shouldn't be as long as you have all the same mods installed. Uninstalling mods you downloaded from the steam workshop can be a bit of a pain the ass too. As far as I know when you don't want to use a particular mod anymore it just disables it without actually removing the files.

So just use NMM and overwrite any files and you shouldn't have any problems. The downside is that if/when you remove files using the NMM it will put the original files back in. So it may or may not be worth it to you to do a clean install.

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. I'll give it a shot and see what happens.

About two and a half weeks since Dawnguard 360 release and not a word on a PC (or PS3) release yet. Sigh. :(

I thought it was 2 weeks away? Something from this thread lead me to believe that the 360 had a one month exclusive, after that it gets released to everyone else. Can someone confirm or correct me?

That's what I heard too, I think that's right... sadly. :(

How much vram does your 8800gt have? If it's below 1gb then it won't be worth it, even if you go for the lite version.

--x-snip-x--

Only like 512MB I think. After trying all the FULL 2k textures out I really can't tell much difference with my texture quality set to Medium. If I jack it up I can definitely see a difference but then my computer lags like crazy (and the disk is constantly thrashing).

i forgot to list my mods

these are the mods i have on my laptop

Quality World Map

Amazing Ebony Armor Redone

Colored Map Markers

Detailed Faces v2

i use Nexus Mod Manager and got all the mods from Skyrim Nexus except the Nightingale Prime Leather Version Cape Variants, that is no longer avaliable but i can share if asked

The texture packs only work when you have the texture quality set to the highest. The Skyrim HD textures, for the full pack requires a card with at least 1.5gb of vram to run efficiently.

I've not seen any release dates for other platforms yet. But it seems likely that Bethesda would want to release it asap the Microsoft timed exclusive has run out.

One thing I am NOT liking is the 16% movement speed penalty for wearing heavy armor in Skrim Redone. At least give me a perk somewhere to get rid of that. It makes sense for mages and thieves to have the penalty, but I'm playing a warrior.

So I found the cheat code to increase my speed and I can see now why there is a 16% movement speed penalty. I put it back to about 104% movement speed and at that speed I can easily dodge by backstepping just about every swing against me...this almost makes it too easy, but right now my heavy armor is such crap that I can really only take 3-4 blocked hits before dying. Skyrim Redone has made the game pretty challenging for me... I'm finding myself dying a lot in some situations even on the easiest difficulty. Or it may just be that playing warrior is tough compared to thief and mage. This game seems to be really hard at first, but becomes increasingly easier as you get perk points and gear.

I need to find more things to do in skyrim, I cant mod it because I hate playing on the PC.

Any idea's on what to do with a lot of gold? right now all I can do is commit huge crime sprees and pay my bounty of 10,000 gold off

Why would you hate playing on the pc? Better resolution, better textures, modding...basically everything is better on the pc as far as Skyrim is concerned.

You could buy houses and fully furnish them I guess? There isn't a whole lot to spend money on after that.

I end up cheating :/ which Is a terrible reason. But I always do.

edit, nvm, i thought you meant you needed gold, not stuff to spend it on

Finally bought Skyrim in the Steam summer sale at the weekend, played 10 hours already! It really is an amazing game. I've joined the Thieves Guild too after getting around an annoying bug. I haven't done many side quests yet but now I'm going to go back and find them all because I need to be a higher level to stop dying in the dungeons :p

Any mods anybody highly recommends? At the moment I have the Sounds of Skyrim ones and a Games of Thrones shield mod and Robert Baratheon's armour.

Idk..unless you are talking about graphic modifications it is probably worth playing through w/o any mods until you get bored and want to try mods. I highly recommend SkyUI for inventory management on PC... the default is really sad in comparison.

yeah, SkyUI is always nice... I always have some small mods like ":Auto Unequip Arrows", "Headsman's Axe Fixed" (I love using the headsman's axe... I sort of pretend my character's psyche has been damaged by almost having his head cut off), Jaysus swords, stuff like that. Then I add beautifying mods and some things like Weapons Fixes and also some better animations.

    • I am not a US citizen nor a Trump fan. Respect to both left and right. But I will, for the sake of fun, predict something for my own. There will come a day when the US and China will collide like titans ( over Taiwan or anything else ). Then, on that day, some people in this comment section will realize how good an idea it was to become independent in areas like that. ( Or atleast try )
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen by Usama Jawad Microsoft Edge may not be the most popular browser out there, but it does receive quite frequent updates that sometimes bring surprising new features and axe others that are not as popular. Now, Microsoft has detailed some of the new security enhancements that it has introduced in Edge for Business, typically used by commercial customers. Microsoft has emphasized that security features are baked into Edge for Business and offer native integration with security and governance tools like Defender and Purview. Browser sessions are governed by default on managed devices but can also be governed through dedicated work profiles on unmanaged devices. An important aspect in this area is controlling the use of shadow AI. We have talked about this before, but it essentially restricts employees from using unsanctioned AI apps through data loss prevention (DLP) policies, with Edge redirecting them to trusted AI services like Microsoft 365 Copilot. This feature, available as a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) license, ensures that confidential data never exits AI boundaries set by your organization in Purview. Additionally, Microsoft also has strong DLP policies for contractors. Contractors leveraging a Entra ID-joined work profile provisioned by their contracting company on a device managed by their actual employer can be restricted from downloading files locally. In such scenarios, the file is saved on the contracting firm's OneDrive rather than being downloaded locally. Another useful Edge security feature disallows copying and pasting from unmanaged locations and apps. Similarly, DLP policies can be configured at a granular level to restrict screenshots or downloading of files from certain locations. In the same vein, IT admins can block the installation of extensions, hosted apps, themes and scripts, and control if users can install extensions from external locations. They can also enable the installation of specific extensions and allow users to request access to certain extensions, so that they can be managed on a case-by-case basis. Finally, Edge for Business now has an on-device AI model that uses computer vision to see what's on your screen and block potentially malicious content immediately. This does not rely on site reputation, as it simply monitors what is being displayed on your screen, which means that it is effective against malicious content that takes over your screen and employs scareware tactics. Since this is an on-device AI model, it does use your system's resources, so it's enabled by default only on devices with at least 2GB of RAM and four CPU cores. You can find more details in the Microsoft Mechanics video here.

    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.
    • Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?
