The whole point of it was to try and be helpful so of course I don't mind ?

Think I could use Arcanum and Path of Sorcery together?

There is an Acranum / Path patch on Nexus so I'd guess it's possible.

Please don't, it's actually really helpful, for example when deciding whether to start a new run or wait for the new update if there are great additions included.

Maybe not the best place to ask, but is there an interest in old-school pen-and-paper RPG dungeons/adventures?

 

I have a bunch of old pen-and-paper DnD/Rolemaster/MERP/PalladiumFantasy modules that I converted into dungeons and quests in the CK for Skyrim and Oblivion years ago for school. I have been debating bringing them up to date with SE, and adding mod support, but wasn't sure anyone would be interested in them.

Sounds interesting to me.

[johnny0183]

Strange Runes looks interesting, especially for those magicians among us

[1001nights]

regarding the bashed patch - the guard armor overhaul page says that its esp should be put - and activated - after the bashed patch, otherwise it doesn't work.

 

[wollboi]

Reminds me I keep forgetting to bring up that there is a Bodyslide mod for Guard Armor Replacer.

Despite what the author may have called it, it looks pretty good.

You would probably have to contact the various companies that own those games to see if they object, as you are giving them away for free chances are they would not be bothered, but you can never tell, they may not want you to do so.

 

A good old fashioned dungeon crawl is never out of place, well not as long as they are decent sized places anyway, most of the dungeons in skyrim are far too small in my view.

Totally agreed on the dungeon sizes in vanilla. As for the use of the dungeon modules for Skyrim, that is a really valid issue, and i actually did research this before during school. As long as I indicate that it is based on/inspired by the module,  indicate that i do not own the rights to the original material, nor is it officially sanctioned, and ideally, use a legally distinct name I "should" be staying well on the side of legal. Fortunately, I also have no intent to charge for it, so that eliminates another possible issue.

Haha @Aylis. I didn't actually see it was an update. I was just wondering as I was scanning through new mods on Nexus

It is.. BUT.. it does not play well with some magic trees and/or special races. Notably the two races i use (both by trykz) and Natureborn has issues with it as well. Nothing game breaking, but it has put red runes on green spells, yellow runes on red spells etc. i have a few spells it doesn't put them on at all so it's just a small brown or green glow in the hand. However Lupine is a mod i think you would enjoy, do you break free from hircine, or are you a loyal dog?

Thanks to something totally unexpected (thankfully no one was around to see my face when i got the PM) my issues with storage will be resolved in a few days...

Spoiler

... in a few hours (got to visit ? and wake someone up for that  ) i 'll be able to order a brandnew

 

Thanks A LOT for that. Raising a mug of mead in your honor.

Nah, i hope to get 'Baldurs Gate III' and 'Cyberpunk 2077' on it too.

 

It will be interesting to see what happens when all the modders get let loose on Cyberpunk... Interesting and scary at the same time.

Apocalypse is a big no-No-NO from me. ?

 

Atm i'm considering Immersive Carry Weight Spells and Immersive Spell Learning. And there was a mod that changed the mage quest so you actually had to study (no more acolyte to archmage in three days). And i still hate how that lackluster quest gets forced on you!

 

I'll take a look at 'Spell Research'. Sounds, from the name, to be right my alley...

Btw. my friend got lucky (i rolled a 1 on a d20) and i'll go the 'i come in peace and bring breakfast' routine (better than his 'IT breakfast' of Coca-Cola and a cigarette) before pestering him about the new drive.

OK Here's that writeup on how to patch Nemesis

 

Spoiler

HOW TO ADD A PATCH TO NEMESIS

In my example I'll be using Achery Gameplay Overhaul

    1.    Get the latest Nemesis Behavior Engine and install it
    2.    Download Achery Gameplay Overhaul Nemesis Patch
    3.    Extract Nemesis patch to your desktop
    4.    Now go to your Mods folder in skyrim or where your mods get placed by MO2
        Mine is here.    G:\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition Mods
    5.    Now find Nemesis Mod and go to \Nemesis\Nemesis_Engine\mod
    6.    Now open with a second file explorer AGO's Nemesis patch and go to         Data\Nemesis_Engine\mod\agpo
    7.    Copy the folder agpo and paste it inside Nemesis\Nemesis_Engine\mod
    
    If all went good it should look like this

Probably why i have a 250 gig drive for system, one 500 gig solid state for skyrim/mods/metro exodus/fallout xx/ and any other spill over from steam (rts like dawn of man), second 500 for origin and uplay and a 5 tb for well.. everything else... and they are all over half to 3/4 full

i would add Train and Study to that as it lets you study the whole school i.e. destruction and uses stam for weapons and magicka for spells so you MUST rest to get the missing part back. I learned real quick to train for a day, sleep for a day or you have no stam to shoot the damn bow with when your ass goes off on a quest and you forget you just studied archery for 8 hours and have like 40 stam.....  yeah... the bandits had fun though.... 

@Aylis why was it no apocalypse? 

[chevalierx]

how fps you get with this guide ?

[Eien808]

Does anyone know what mod or setting auto unequips helmet and shield when you sheathed weapons? I'd like to keep the shield always out.

Why the hell considering the size of current games does everybody go for teeny tiny hard drives?

 

I use a 250gb solid state for boot/drivers and such, and have 4 6tb for actual use, steam and my games sit on two of those and they are both about 1/2 full or thereabouts.  Oh two of the bays in my nas enclosure have 6tb drives in them for achieve and backups, and I keep thinking about filling the other two bays with another two 6tb.

 

My next build I am thinking of either 4 8tb or depending on the price of drives at the time 4 10tb, with probably a 512gb solid state for boot and such.
