How do you find your fun in Adult Skyrim?

[bludgerbutter]

This isn't a jab at anyone, but I didn't know how to address the topic so I went with that header. How do you have your fun in the modded version of Skyrim?

 

I'll be honest when I say I typically only booted it up once I got the adult mods on there to masturbate, but then again, I didn't really enjoy Skyrim that much in the first place. I loaded it up after a few years to beat the main game, which I'd never done, and that was really it, besides the sexy mods that I played with.

 

While I definitely know this to be a me problem, how do you find your enjoyment in the game after it having been out for so many years, including adult mods? I just kind of want to see what others have to say on the topic.

I just find the game fun, even now, just to explore and walk around doing what i want. I used to use the defeat mod, but that became more of a burden on my game than it was helpful so i gave it up. Now i also use it to make stories as well. The sex mods have their uses, like prostitution for getting money, though now i have too much money in general, but that tends to be a late game problem than beginning one. I'm the type of person who can stay with the same game for a long time, mods help too.

I do enjoy role-playing games in the first place, plus open universes ; and TES are a gold mine for both. I have played purely adult games before, and the problem I encountered was that aside of sex my characters didn't really « existed » : you masturbate and then you quit ; there is nothing aside of sex. Not quite what I wanted for my chars, nor for me.

With an adult modded Skyrim, there can be sex, but also fights, explorations, social interactions, crafting (enchanting mostly, but smithing and alchemy are also excellent), home building, lore discoveries etc. etc.. Not to mention being a good material to create stories.

 

So my characters can live their live in full in that modded Skyrim, which makes me keep going at it for years, just as the others TES.

I am all about immersion and roleplaying in my games. No fast travel, no console commands (unless absolutely necessary) have to eat, sleep, drink blood (if a vampire). I enjoying going to a inn after venturing and having some ale with a companion or fellow bar flies. Sex mods to me just adds to the immersion. Especially when your toon wakes up hung over naked and surrounded by 4 bar flies and your still passed out companion.

[bludgerbutter]

So it plays into most of your RP characters? I guess I want to further the discussion.

 

When I was playing through Fallout: New Vegas again earlier this year, I had it in my head that my character was like a sort of classical Western hero. Kind of the anti-hero attitude with hero actions. I did most of the decisions based off that. Would the sex just be included with the character? Say him sleeping with a hooker and things?

 

I always found it difficult honestly, but that could just be a me problem as I think I said before.

After years of convincing to my sister I finally caved and watched this anime Sword Art Online. Im the kind of person once I watch something I have to see it to the end regardless of how good or bad it is. It was alright but the real thing that caught my eye was the VR technology to immerse yourself into the game. With our technology today we arn't too far off from that. The fact that you can actually be IN the game world is probably what every gamer wants to experience so what were are left with currently is up to us for the time being. Consider it a "Gamer Imagination". I get more enjoyment out of games like Fallout/Skyrim if I make backstories for my characters and try to immerse myself into the world they play.

 

Yup, I'm a nerd.

[Sacrilege]

quest mods and being sexually attracted to my character is still what keeps me playing skyrim

enjoying the game, enjoying myself off to my character

Of course, it would. Every adult person has a sexuality, it being hidden or very flashy. It only depends on the nature/tone of the story for it to be revealed or not.

 

Let's take two examples :

— Tabrielle, the protagonist of my current Chronicles : a quite shy and very faithful woman. Those two traits induced that she rarely let men know her, and so, before meeting Benor (and she didn't met him early in the game) her total number of consensual sexual partners was around... zero. She just refrained from giving herself to men she didn't trust, and when she couldn't refrain anymore she just masturbated to get relieved. 

 

— Cecilde, her sister. Used to be an occasional waitress at the Bannered mare. Quite the libertine woman (she doesn't see why sex would have to be a complicated thing). Has even been brought to temporary prostitution by the events. Well, it's a whole different story, I don't make you a picture (even though there are actually ).

 

And that's pure RP, for both characters !

 

 

For your anti-hero, it would depend on his way of life, on who he met, and on the events related to both. So that would be up to you, it being with a hooker, with a well known female (or even male) companion slowly growing feelings towards him... or alone in secret. It's up to you !

 

[bludgerbutter]

Those are excellent points. I guess it is harder for me to do that. I don't want to get too personal but I'd say that masturbation is a problem I have, so I guess it is that part of me can't get out of my own head enough to get into a character that much. I love roleplaying as well, I guess when it comes to that portion of it (sexuality) I like to take a more hands on approach (that can be a joke or straight forward.) 

 

I appreciate the conversation. Thanks for giving me some insight.

I usually just play Skyrim as the skimpy clad princess who sometimes finds herself in "forced" situations..

[assassin394]

I love RPG games. I played Skyrim since 2011. I do enjoy it vanilla with no mods at all. Only in Bethesda RPG you can have extremely freedoom and do whatever you want.

Eventually I install more and more mods for role playing. The game is very customizable, there is mods for almost everything. 

If you didn't like the game in the first place then adult mods or not the general gameplay will still boring. If you just want quick fap material, i suggest look on pornhub, naughlymachinima or tumblr. There is plenty of high quality Skyrim porn videos peoples is making.

I do roleplaying, but often quite raw. And i decide which mods i'd like to play (and how), then i think about how i get this into a reasonable story. For example, how i'd like to play first:

- i don't want to do mch vanilla quests, at least not at the beginning

- but i want a player house, mostly as storage

- i want some nice armors/clothes

- i want to get her into trouble

 

So... my background for her was:

Her wealthy parents died recently, due to age or accident. She inherited a house (alternative starts), nice clothes (AddItemMenu), some money (console) she is not totally dumb, but proud and spoiled. Not really a fighter, but usually won't become humble and nice either once she got into trouble. Not an active whore for money, but once she is in trouble... at start she doesn't mind to get some boobs bonus at least. 

 

And then some quest mods which will teach her her place in a world of rape and abduction, + defeat (without much consequences except rape) and some DD mods. For a start i'd recommend Get Stripped! It's not only an awesome questmod with unique animations, imho it's also by far the most funny one. Short, but with 4 different endings for whiterun and 7 endings for Riften, it's something you can use for a lot of starts.

I enjoy a good story, and there are some adult mods with by far better stories than the vanilla quests.

[Cock Sucker]

depends on the char I made with its personality I create, plus if im using a female all other women must be nude in game lol like guards have helmets, boots, gloves and weapons but that's it.

 

me and my followers are also nude w/ boots/ arms/ rings/ neckys and maybe bondage gear.

 

Most of my chars (female) tend to eventually lean towards - lesbian / male hating / Cannibal (female flesh only) who only get dick from dogs / wolves etc.  

 

if I lean towards slavery for me or my companions its usually a female master or a dog/wolf master (usually a dog).

[Lostdreamer]

Defeat, Deviously Cursed Loot and a few related mods - I don't need to go looking for the fun.

 

Angrim's Apprentice, SL stories, Infamy, Amorous Adventures for quests as well.

 

Get out and explore the world, & bondage, sex and other things will probably just happen...

[Glaurung26]

Fashion modeling with the waifu, trying new anims out, ENBs, some amateur photography and exploring. That's about all we do anymore. After 2 hours of downloading, installing, organizing and troubleshooting each session (my fault for constantly updating and trying new mods) I usually don't have much time left over for doing the same quests I've already played through 10 or 20 times. So mostly sex. When I can get it working, I like doing the frostfall, hunterborn, RND playthrough. Thank Akatosh for alternate start.

[0hope]

It really depends on what you actually want from game and that's the whole beauty of it, as you can do (almost) anything you want.

Although for me when i look at time spent looking for mods installing them and making everything work without crashes AND the time spent actually playing game ... yeah

 

But yeah game play wise its actually not that interesting i can name maybe 5 mods that had actually fitted into skyrim world without annoying the crap out of me in couple of hours. So for me it's mostly about screen shoots and trying some stuff that you would otherwise never be able to even see irl or otherwise.

When i first started playing i found how amazing females can look in this game and never went back. Two years later i finally gave adult mods a try. Nothing had ever made male characters more interesting than loverslab. Each New game is now a serious struggle as I ask myself, to fuck, or be fucked? There is just too many beautiful female mods with characters begging to be used and abused, how can i say no?

[1conseq]

I like this game for it's role playing possibilities with the use of mods.

To me, Skyrim's combat mechanics are more interesting and work better when the combat is geared towards the realistic, which also means deadly. I don't like health bars in this game. And for a while now i've been playing with a permanent death mod called "dead is dead" and  the NPC's aren't coming back from the dead too.

 

I don't really put my player character into too many deadly situations and there's usually a mod that adds a way to surrender in combat. My game play is usually not about quests and I don't even come close to the main quest line and usually am not dragonborn, I do stuff to get rich in game and have a lot of mods installed that add jobs, work, businesses, stuff to do besides dungeon crawling and also basic needs like eating, drinking, the need to fuck and the means to do it, prostitution, seduction, drinking, rape, drugs and so on. 

 

And a lot of graphical mods to enhance the whole experience, be it just traveling around, or hunting, gathering stuff, exploring, sight-seeing, whatever. I find that to be a real must, the world must look good, the people must look very ugly or very beautiful, as it is. Also, mods that add more people, buildings, stuff, travelers, horses, war stuff that is going on, etc.

 

The adult mods can really add a lot to this role playing experience, but I don't use a lot of them, I just use the ones that don't make sex feel tacked on. And tentacles.

 

[smokeybear187]

And tentacles.

Must have imo.

[Jayleia]

I use them for both immersion (Scent of Sex, SexLife, Amorous Adventures, SexLab Solutions, Prison Overhaul), for surprise difficulty adjustments (DCL, FMEA), and combining the two (Defeat, Deviously Enslaved, SD+).

 

I understand why games use the "defeated, respawn somewhere else" mechanic, it also SUCKS, this removes that in a way that does penalize you for being defeated, without breaking immersion, or going to the "dead is dead" end.  It can also get sexy too.

 

DCL and FMEA both can make life "interesting" suddenly, which changes your gameplay somewhat, instead of going through opening every box, bottle, bag and such, you have to decide what to open, and when to open it...if not, you could find yourself spending a long time struggling to escape rather than actually completing the dungeon.

 

The others, people aren't just mannequins sandboxing around waiting for you to talk to them, but they aren't just fucking wildly everywhere, set up correctly they act and feel more like real people.  Granted there's a lot more sex than real people, but there's a lot more dragons in Skyrim than the real world too...
