What is a Realistic or Immersive Game for You?

I then add, based on my taste, some "realism" mods, eg Realistic Needs and Diseases or Frostfall, that's based on my current taste.

Currently, I use Realistic Needs and Diseases together with Trade and Barter, as well as the new C.O.I.N. mod. As that, I have a reason to spend money, stuff is more expensive and I can't get rich by dungeon farming as the coins in there are practically worthless.

 

 

 

I tried to avoid the normal play style and hoped to be able to let my PC just be a "normal" young woman, but the vanilla game is so hard coded in the direction of the allmighty Dragonborn that this is hardly possible. And I didn't find a mod yet to avoid that, that fits my taste.

So maybe I'll add some things like "Do you know who I am", too, to tackle that on the other end

 

 

 

I often use Trade and Barter also ...next time I use it, I will take a look at that COINS Mod also, sounds like a good match ...My current Dovah doesn't tend to buy or sell much.

 

That Mod, Do You Know Who I Am, can be very entertaining ...the first time I used it I saw the option come up when Irelith stops the Dovah in Dragonsreach, so I clicked it out of curiosity and Irelith tells the Dovah she couldn't give a stuff who he is lol

Personally I would think lone women wandering in a war ravaged land would be in a great deal of danger of being raped and/or enslaved and humiliation, I don't think you have a conflict between your Norman/Viking feel and the danger to women (though yeah, Devious would be pushing it lol) When I play a female Dovah, I go for a similar feel, she's in constant peril and always needing to be on her guard in a very misogynistic and dangerous land.

That's totally true, but some mods only will fit partly.Yes, things like Peril (the mod) or Radiant Prostitution is no problem, but even in a misogynist land at war I don't think anything like SLUTS would come up realistically. And yes, DD also is pushing boundaries, that's what I meant. Hell, I even use my own mod, Mimic Clothes, which definitely is funny and keeps me at the tip of my toes, but not really immersive ^^ Maybe you can explain it with some kinky mage who wanted to have a giggle or something

How's Checking on the Roads working out for you? When I had it they ended up attacking and killing my female Dovah when she didn't have the money or challenged them over the shake downs

I don't know, I currently build a new mod list in the evenings as counter to the studying (exams are soon). So I will see how it fits in and works out.

That's what I was thinking. Another option is to say she just got out of the Honorhall Orphanage. Now I'm going to shamelessly advertise another of my mods: Escape the Cell has little stories connected to many of the LAL starts but they work just as well with SU (you might have to move yourself to the locations where some of those places start. Fortunately, the mod provides fast travel to most of those points just for this purpose.) If you begin in the Bee and Barb, the start there is exactly that - you just got out of the orphanage, you have nothing. As a bonus, there is a mostly finished storyline entirely separate from the main Skyrim storyline to try to find your parents.

Well, I think I'll go with Skyrim Unbound for now and use the story of the young woman who lost her farm near Whiterun, but thanks

That's why I have Realistic Needs and Diseases, so I MUST buy at least something sometimes. Just to create a real urge to get money

Then you just have to ignore the times when someone calls you that.

I think there's a mod for that. I don't use Unbound and I don't get called Dragonborn. ? Maybe it's because I'm not?
