Being able to install mods on the Playstation would be amazing! It's always one of the things I miss from PC gaming, being able to play around with mods.

Its for the DLC and being able to turn it on or off.

The DLC is going to be a timed exclusive on the 360 so they are just preparing it.

Come to think of it though, I'm guessing texture pack mods would be out of the question if they were to ever bring mods to the console versions. I would imagine they already have enough issue making sure it's optimized well enough for them.

On the plus side though, always so much you can do with the PC version! Here's a screenshot of an incredibly good looking ENB series setup with Skyrim.

Has anyone played the Dawnguard DLC on the 360 yet? Is it worth getting?

[tiagosilva29]

According to Skyrim's subreddit... yes.

[Miuku.]

Have to love Microsoft, on the other hand they're claiming how Windows gamers are "oh so important to them" but at the same time they're ****ing people on their faces by getting exclusives for 360 only.

Oh well.

It is only 30 days. I think most of us can wait that long... for the more superior version :laugh:

[Xahid]

Damn! we have to wait for 30 days...

[Nick H. Supervisor]

Considering that I'm still going through the standalone game, I think I can wait 30 days. There's still so much more that I need to do...I should probably return to the main quest. I made the same mistake with the Fallout series, dropping the main quest pretty quickly and just roaming the land looking for other things to do (which there is plenty of in both Fallout and Skyrim, if you didn't know :p).

[Lingwo]

I've done the same in Skyrim. On the main quest. I'm at the point where you meet the grey beards. I've probably sunk nearly 60 hours in the game though. Through wandering and side quests. I am forcing myself now to finish the main quest.

I suggest not to go for main quest before completing and enjoying all the side quest, you will get more experience and perks with side quests, which are needed for the main quest.

I'm a bit ahead of you, but I found myself presented with a tough decision to make and so I chose to do other things first while making my choice. The next time I load it up I think I'm going to make a decision and see what happens.

[Nimdock]

Love this game on my xbox, got Dawnguard and although I havent started it I went to Whiterun and all hell was breaking loose. :D

I have logged 230 hours and I am just at the point where I am supposed to meet Esbern to advance in the Alduin's wall quest. Haven't done a single civil war quest either. I just can't choose a freaking side. I am leaning towards the empire because the stormcloaks are so freaking racist.

Just getting back into the PC version of Skyrim after a couple month hiatus. I'd like to know what mods people are using these days. I've installed a couple and so far have really been enjoying them a lot. Here is what I'm using:

* Skyrim Redone - Nice change up (actually, a complete overhaul) of skill trees. There are also tweaks done to the combat system, and so far I'm finding combat a lot more enjoyable and feel like there is more skill involved. Seemed like vanilla Skyrim on 1 difficulty setting would be WAY too easy and then if you turned it up a notch it became nearly impossible.... Skyrim Redone makes the combat feel more complex (mostly with the way they have changed stamina).

* A Quality World Map with Roads - the only thing I've noticed that is different is you can see where all the roads are (as you discover new places) which is actually very useful considering the mountainous landscape.

* SkyUI - I like this one...can FINALLY sort items by weight/power/armor and also search for items.

* Immersive Armors - Adds a bunch of armor sets throughout the game. I haven't come across any yet, but it sounded kinda neat. I think my biggest complaint about Skyrim has been that it seems like the very best sets of gear are the ones that you craft or get from one of the big story line quests (like the Nightingale set you get from the Thieve's guild quest line).

I mainly use SkyUI and Quality World map, i have others, will look at my Nexus Mod Manager when i get home, but i dont use any Texture Packs

[mattmatik]

I'm actually using a compilation pack put together on Steam Workshop then I added some small changes - main menu music mod, Skyrim music mods, etc. Think it comes to around 34 mods - but again, most are small changes. It has made the game completely new and so much more enjoyable.

I kinda want to try a texture pack, but as it is right now I can't play the game on max settings anyway. I wonder if having higher quality textures might improve the aesthetics without lowering FPS.... hmmm...

I'm also kind of curious about the Skyrim Monster Mod: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/9694

Skyrim HD - 2K Textures has a reduced resolution version that you can try. Better textures make a huge difference considering most of the vanilla ones are obnoxiously low resolution.

Yeah, that is what I was thinking because most of the textures look like they were formatted for console not for PC. I'll give it a try. Hopefully it doesn't make me spend a couple hundred to upgrade my very old geforce 8800gt. I just want 1 more year out of it. Thanks.

[trag3dy]

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.

Here are some mods that I recommend in no particular order:

Artifact Balance Overhaul - makes artifacts actually useful comparative to high end crafted/enchanted armor.

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/11520

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/10753
