Is it a good game, worth buying it?

At first I downloaded it (via "sources") played it for 30 minutes, uninstalled it, logged onto steam, bought it, reinstalled, still playing, so much fun stuff to do, I recommend joining the thieves guild, a very good side story

anybody got a good Armor along the lines of the Nightingale Prime Armor, the author took his down as people kept stealing it into their own armor mods ( understandable why he would take it down )

and ended up loosing the file when i reloaded, so looking for a replacement

I've got both version of that armor in zip if you want me to sent it to you. I've also got his other armor called Cannibal Lord which looks nice and evil, but is only for male characters.

And here's a really nice retex of the elven armor. Nightingale is light armor so you might be interested in this, too:

And if you're using heavy armor this is the nicest retex I've seen for Daedric armor:

This one is also really nice:

I personally use the evil incarnate verison but with the weapons from the second one.

main reason i liked the Nightingale and Nightingale Prime was due to the Cowl and Cloak/Black. might take you up on the Prime 2.0 file as so far not seeing anything coming close quality wise

anyone have any iea when patching will start for fixing bugged quest ? i have 4 or 5 that i can't continue with because they are budded out .. i have googled the quest and it seem its an on going thing .

still love the game just want the bugs fixed

Probably never. Bethesda isn't really known for fixing bugs in their games from what I can remember. If you're playing on the pc version you'll most likely have to wait until the community fixes it when the CK is released.

I have a question that I hope you all can help me with :) I've read a few things about people selecting perks and then later regretting it but not being able to make a change back.

What is the best way to use the perks? I have a shed load, don't think that I've used a single once since I started to play.

I'm concentrating on light armour, archery and one handed.

What do you think?

I'm not sure what you mean by you have lots and haven't used them? Most of them are passive and you're using them no matter if you realize it or not. That's why they are called perks and not skills or abilities.

The only ones that you actually "use" are the crafting perks, and maybe some of the attack ones late in the weapon trees.

Ah maybe I wasn't clear :p What I mean was that I had loads of points to spend on perks, that I hadn't used. Are there any that we worth investing in?

Definitely. If you're using light armor and one handed weapons, invest in those. Enchanting is definitely worth investing in, so is armor smithing. Alchemy is another one worth looking as well. It's hard to say just put your points into a certain thing, though.

Thank you ^ :) If anybody else wants to throw in there two cents feel free. Can't wait to put some more hours in :D

Perks are an important part of the game. What level are you? I'm surprised anyone would just stockpile them, as there is no advantage in doing so.

I have points into sneaking, archery, lockpicking, pickpocket, enchanting, smithing, 1 hand, shield, heavy armor... Maybe more, the trees are diverse... All perk trees, and the individual perks in them, can be extremely useful, depending on your play style. For example, once your a high enough level in lockpicking and you have the prerequisites filled out, you can have a greater chance of finding valuable items in chests and receive more gold. Smithing can allow the creation of dragon armors and others. Sneaking can allow damage multipliers for attacks while hidden. Pickpocketing can increase the amount of carry weight you have. The 1 handed weapon tree can increase damage, add % of critical strikes, and add new attacks. Enchanting can drastically increase the usefulness of weapons, armors, and rings. There are many perks available, they all have their own uses.

Look into the perks that come later in each tree and use those perk points!

P.S. - If your playing on PC, it isn't very hard to reset your perks to use them all again.

I'm running 35 seperate mods through NMM, 60 hours so far, this game is one of the best I've played in a long time. The Deadly Dragons mod is a must for level 40+ characters.

I'm level 16 at the moment, and I spend a good half an hour spreading out the perk point that I had collected up :s After looking through all the trees I can see what you mean.

I have another question now, when you use perk points for say increased damage with one-handed can you see the effect of the perk when scrolling through the weapons? Where can the perk effect be seen?

I have another question now, when you use perk points for say increased damage with one-handed can you see the effect of the perk when scrolling through the weapons? Where can the perk effect be seen?

I'm pretty sure it will directly read on the weapon damage when you view it after you apply the points, if it fits the perk description.

I use the 1 handed and sword perks and my 1 handed sword damages read much higher than the rest.

Patch 1.4 is now live for pc users (aprox. 200mb download) and will be released shortly for the consoles as well. It's just waiting for them to do their thing with it first.

Eventually we'll be able to download mods directly through steam from here, for pc users only:

http://steamcommunit...workshop/skyrim

Though I have no idea how popular it will be compared to the nexus website that is already established. If it works well I'll definitely use it because the video makes it look more seamless than downloading mods through the nexus.

It would be hard for me to abandon Nexus at this point. They've done such an amazing job and I have many mods already up and running exactly how I want them to be. I realize the mod community has been looking forward to using the dev tools but I don't see this being a quick process. I'm hesitant to upgrade to 1.4, I have 0 issues with the game as it is.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release by Usama Jawad Windows 11 typically follows an annual update cycle, but Microsoft recently broke that tradition a bit by releasing a "26H1" version in the first half of this year as a "scoped" build for select new silicon PCs only. This version was not available for customers using 24H2 and 25H2 builds, as Microsoft is busy preparing version 26H2 for them, confirmed officially for the first time. In a Windows IT Pro blog, Microsoft has urged IT admins to prepare for the upcoming release of Windows 11 version 26H2. The company has confirmed that this will be a small enablement package (eKB) that will simply light up certain disabled features that are already present in the operating system's code base. This means that the "refined" Windows update and deployment experience will be simpler and quicker, with minimal disruptions, as the feature update will simply toggle a few flags rather than performing a complete replacement. Microsoft has explained that this is all possible because the standard Windows 11 releases share the same servicing branch and hence, the same source code. However, this also means that Windows 11 26H1 users won't be able to upgrade to 26H2 as that is a different branch, but this is something we have known for a while now. Similar to previous annual feature updates, Windows 11 26H2 will offer the following support cycles: 24 months of support for Home, Pro, Pro EDU, and Pro for Workstations editions 36 months of support for Enterprise, Education, IoT Enterprise, and Enterprise Multi-session editions Microsoft has not confirmed a concrete release date for Windows 11 26H2, but noted that it is "coming soon". If we go by the ongoing release cadence, we can expect it to begin rolling out in early October 2026. As such, IT admins have been encouraged to begin validating Windows Insider releases in the Experimental Channel, plan rollout rings, and strategize the utilization of their existing deployment tools.
    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds by Taras Buria Today's Experimental builds (26H1 and Future Platforms, formerly Canary) pack several audio-related improvements. If your device is enrolled in the Experimental Channel (26H1), you can download build 28120.2315, while those in the Future Platforms version have build 29613.1000 to try. Here is what is new in build 29613.1000: [Audio] Following up on our previous improvements, we’re making some more adjustments to Settings > System > Sounds based on your feedback. Namely, we’ve updated the “All sound devices” page so: You now have the ability to change default devices from this page. Each of the devices displayed on this page now has a little volume meter next to it to show if there is audio actively playing. We’ve adjusted the page design slightly so now you can filter whether you’re viewing input or output devices. We’ve added toggles so you can choose if you want to hide or show disabled, disconnected, and unplugged devices on this page. We’ve also updated the input and output audio properties page for devices in Settings to now include jack information for those that need it. And here is the changelog for build 28120.2315: This update includes a small number of minor bug fixes and improvements. [Accessibility] This update improves caption style responsiveness by redrawing captions immediately for caption style changes. If no current caption is visible, a sample caption string is displayed. [Audio] This update improves the reliability of the inbox HD Audio driver. You can find the official release notes for build 28120.2315 here and for build 29613.1000 here.
    • I agree with what I think you are saying, just not in the way you are saying it. Like any tool, the amount it represents your work is perorational to the effort you put into it. It is similar to why 2nd grade math students learning to add and subtract are not allowed to use calculators, but a high-school calculous student is. For the 2nd grader, that tool would completely replace the work they are doing, for the calculous student the same tool allows them to work far more effectively while in no way replacing their effort or knowable. If you spend 30 seconds writing a prompt, then the image that comes out is no more "yours" than if you found the same image with a Google Image search. However, many of these generative tools also support highly iterative processes that allow back and forth, and merging generated images with photos or human created images. I am sure you would agree that a human spending hours of time working on a project, even if AI was involved in the process, still reflects that human's work.
    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build by Taras Buria Friday Windows 11 preview builds are here. Insiders in the Experimental (formerly Dev) and Beta Channel can download builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690. There are no new features, but Microsoft is officially moving the Experimental Channel to version 26H2. In addition, Microsoft is improving the copy dialog in File Explorer, the Start menu reliability, and fixing virtualization issues. Here is the changelog: [General] With today’s build, Windows Insiders in the Experimental channel will see the versioning updated under Settings > System > About (and winver) to version 26H2. For more information, see the Windows Insiders blog. [File Explorer] We’ve improved the visual consistency and reliability of the Copy dialog in Dark mode, including its launch experience and the expanded progress view. [Start menu] - Also available in Beta Improved reliability of Start menu reflecting newly installed or removed apps without requiring sign-out or restart. [Taskbar] Fixed an issue for Insiders using the new smaller taskbar option, where the system tray might get cut off or pushed off screen. [Settings] - Also available in Beta Improved reliability of Settings > Apps > Startup. [Virtualization] - Also available in Beta This update addresses an issue that could result in bugchecks citing HYPERVISOR_ERROR (0x20001) and KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (0x1E) errors after installing the latest flights on some devices during system restarts, virtual machine operations, or while running some gaming applications. You can find the official changelog for the Experimental build here and for the Beta build here.
    • I've always preferred this possibility. There is something that feels good about the idea that all matter in the universe will eventually come back together and maybe even result in another big bang. The idea that the universe would fizzle out over the eons and forever drift apart is a little depressing. I realize it is not logical to let a basic human desire for life to have a grand everlasting meaning change the way I feel about a scientific theory, but I am human, so that is how I feel :-).
