The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

**Mortilox** · 2012-12-07 03:39

I've decided on buying hearthfire and dragonborn, dawnguard looks like such a cliché to me so I'm skipping over it. Really cannot wait for the next Fallout game. I absolutely love sandbox games made by bethesda.

One complaint I have, though. Is that I cannot undo my perks and swap things around. Not even once. This save I have taken over was at level 10 and had breezehome, but I put all my perks and effort into 2 hand tree. What I wanted was to try out the destruction/conjuration tree's, a breath of fresh air from smashing shit in the face.

I could have started over fresh but I simply hate having to redo EVERYTHING all over again.

You could try installing the dragon souls to perks mod by ish...something. Default is 10 souls to 1 perk, but you can change it to however you want.

That's assuming your playing on PC of course.

Dragonborn lets you wipe any of your talent trees and regain the talent points at the cost of one dragon soul per tree wipe. You gain the ability to do this after you beat the dlc main quest.

Why anyone would buy Hearthfire over Dawnguard, I don't even understand.

**Hank** · 2012-12-07 09:04

Because he felt Hearthfire warranted a $5 price but Dawnguard didn't warrant $20.

**Prothescar** · 2012-12-07 09:09

tbh I'll never buy a DLC for $20, just doesn't sit right with me, so I can totally understand not finding these worth it at launch... $11 Dawnguard during the last steam sale was adequate though.

**Tyrath** · 2012-12-07 09:37

Oh wait, Dawnguard is $20? Woops, never mind me then. >_>

**Grey Jorildyn** · 2012-12-07 13:22

I agree it wasn't worth $20.

For all of you on PC who have to wait for Dragonborn, one of my classes this semester created a Skyrim Expansion of our own. We are releasing it on 12-12-12 at an unveiling party in Rockville, MD(if anyone is interested in attending, PM me) and we will be putting it on several Skyrim sites for Free DL. I'm not sure exactly which sites yet, as we are still looking to get it on Steam Workshop and might be too big for some other sites but I will post a link to it once it is up. Our story is completely different from Dragonborn, though we do have some similarities, like taking you back to Morrowind and into Obilvion and Apocrypha and introducing Hermaeus Mora.

Twitter: https://twitter.com/UB_Apocrypha
Teaser Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUfah...ature=youtu.be
Second Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNuJl...ature=youtu.be

Apocrypha is the domain of Hermaeus Mora, Daedric Prince of knowledge and memory. Skyrim’s Dragonborn must travel through the Doors of Oblivion on a path through Vaermina’s Quagmire, Azura’s Moonshadow and Malacath’s Ashpit to reach Apocrypha and speak with the Demon of Knowledge in a quest to free the spirit of Morian Zenas. But Herma-Mora warns of consequences and requires something in return.

The Apocrypha Project is the culmination the University of Baltimore’s Level Design / Game Modification class, where 28 students in the Simulation and Digital Entertainment program use Bethesda Software’s Creation Kit via the Steam Workshop to extend Skyrim. Students must research the lore, plan and build their assigned levels and learn to work together to develop a large gaming experience.

Look for the Apocrypha Skyrim Mod to be released on 12.12.12.

**Prothescar** · 2012-12-07 18:48

that looks really good

For those of you that want a review of the DLC here you go, kinda disappointed with what they have to say about dragon taming / mounts, but the rest at least sounds decent.

And here is where the beauty of the mod community shows through. Someone will greatly expand the dragon bits.

**Prothescar** · 2012-12-12 08:47

I expect a dragon pet/companion progression mod and free-flying expansion mod pretty quickly. Hell, I'll probably make it myself... not too hard to make those sorts of things. I already played around with pet mammoths. Will be even easier with the groundwork laid down.

Interesting content review from the Escapist, but good lord the narrator was horrible.

I'm just curious, was it purely coincidence that you included Herma Mora and Apocrypha? And how does your Apocrypha compare to the one in Dragonborn. Similarities, I mean.

Purely coincidence, unless they took it from us, which I doubt. We talked with some Bethesda people over the summer about our ideas but I don't think we mentioned Mora or Apocrypha, we did talk about taking the player back to Morrowind though I think. Our story was done in July/Aug and we began actual work on the Mod at the end of August, well before any info even leaked about Dragonborn.

I honestly haven't had time to look at their expansion other then a few trailers, so I can't compare the two Apocrypha's.

The twitter feed should have details about where to download the release as soon as it's up btw, otherwise I'll post it as soon as I find out about it.

What are all of the "must have" mods for Skyrim for PC. I'm working on downloading it right now, and will have a new comp in a couple of weeks that should be able to handle anything Skyrim can throw at it in high res, so need to know what will make the game even better.

Heh, I had this same thing in mind seeing as my new gaming system should arrive today. I'm not sure sure about "must have", but here's a good place to look: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/top/

**Prothescar** · 2012-12-31 00:05

Things I can't play without anymore:

HD Texture Pack (any of them, one I prefer: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/607)
SkyUI
Lanterns of Skyrim
Sounds of Skyrim (Civilization, The Wilds, and Dungeons)
Pure Waters
Realistic Lighting
Improved Interior Lighting
Enhanced Dynamic Weather
Enhanced Blood Textures
Tougher and Smarter Dragons
Realistic Ragdolls and Force
Amazing Follower Tweaks
Better Follower Improvements
Horses for Followers
Improved Daedric Artifacts (I made this one, steam link: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfile...s/?id=76575666)
Quality World Map (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/4929)

Ones that I could do without if I had to but are really nice:
Faster Vanilla Horses
More Dragon Loot
Lightweight Potions and Poisons
Elemental Fury for Enchanted Weapons
Better Werewolf
Magic Arrows
Complete Skyforge
Midas Magic
Better Dynamic Snow

Probably more I'm missing, I haven't added more mods in ages. All of them, except the HD texture pack, are on steamworks so easy to install since it does it for you. You will need SKSE (http://skse.silverlock.org/) for some of them to work properly or at all.
