I just googled nightingale armour. More like Assassin's Creed methinks.

With the most horrible name ever.

So, what's the word on the mods for this? Could do with something that beefed dragons/giants, without making them stupid OP.
Also more/bigger dungeons.

the Great Wyrm's mod is cool.

It adds a new class of Dragons(you need to be Lvl50+) that are twice the size of Elder Dragons and have 1500 more health/treasure.

There is also Prides of Skyrim. It adds Lions and Panthers to Skyrim. Prides of Lions are found throughout the Plains areas and Panthers can be found in Marshes. They are pretty tough so be prepared.

Uncle Sheogorath's Really Helpful Hints and Tips is a hoot too.


I havn't come accross any good quest mods yet. Most of them are quite buggy.

O and all of these are Steam mods.

It's gonna be a while before there are any good quest mods for Skyrim. I can only think of a couple that were even decent for Oblivion, while there were dozens for Morrowind. As the complexity of the CK increases, the number of good quest mods seems to decrease quite rapidly.

The only decent mods out there are weapons, armor, textures, models, the alternative start mod, and a few player homes.

Oblivion had a really good Mod for an Evil ending to the Main Story, were you could join the Mythic Dawn and become a permanent member of such, to the point were you killed camoran and took over. I didn't work with KotN though, because the big Altar to Dagon was placed where the KotN temple is.

Uncle Sheogorath is awsome.
'CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESE'

I actually hate that Mod, HATE IT!!!, except when I don't. Its really best with fried eggs, or ENTRAILS!!!

And while reading letters written on the back of argonian concubines?

Hey guys!

Is anyone still playing this game, now that the new DLC is out?

Just started getting back into this again, and a couple of new questions if I may!

- Is the new DLC going to come out on the PS3? I see that the XBOX has got it, have they got some kind of exclusive deal I take it?

- Assuming it comes to the PS3 ( ), how does the new vampire/vampire hunter mechanic work? Specifically, I already have a vampire character - will he be changed from the crappy anaemic version with David Copperfield skills of the basic game into one of the quite horrible but awesome looking vampires of the DLC? Is is the same again with the werewolf?

- How does the new stuff in the game shape up? I'm particularly interested in the mounted combat!

I stopped playing a while back. It just gets so boring after a while.

I haven't gotten the DLC, but I play every once in a while. Just seems silly to pay full price with all the mods out. But yeah, it's definitely coming out for PS3

Just wait for it to be released. I still play it. Problem?

Ermm... was that an answer to anyone or anything in particular?

So far, the only things I actually like in Dawnguard are Laura Bailey and the Spirit Cairn, which has to be the coolest area in the game so fair.
Everything else...meh.

Im gonna get it saturday, so dont know yet.

Got the DLC and restarted. Haven't noticed anything new yet, other than how easy this game is once you know what you're doing.

Guys does anyone know how to solve flickering character shadows?

Because necromancers. Necromancers everywhere.

Morrowind was like that. I'd get in, jack a guys key, then raid his vault in Vivec, and be equipped with obsidian gear at lvl 1.

In a way, I like that semi-realisim. If you know what your doing, you can get stuff easily right off the bat.

Of course Skyrim has its flaws. Namely the lack of good stuff to buy with all the gold you end up with. Oblivion had the opposite problem. No compromise?



I actually kinda wish they had kept the destructable armor and weaponry. That would have made a high smithing skill worthwhile once you actually got it maxed out. You can make the best armor and weapons, but you also gotta maintain them.

I also wish there were tradeoffs between armor types. Its not just a race to Daedric plate. Its like, "yeah you can wear this nice heavy armor, but it takes resources to maintain it and it slows you down"

Something like this perhaps?

So all armor(clothing too) will take damage over time. Both statically and as a result of combat(to represent things like rust, corrosion, etc...)

So you gotta repair your stuff. As it takes more damage, the armor provides less protection and requires more materials to repair. If it gets to zero the item breaks completely and you have to have it completely reforged(which costs almost as much as making a new one)

Repairing gear is what I miss the most from ES4.

Yeah, although I think Oblivion missed the mark on how they implimented it. Players complained and they removed it.

Some new Downloadable content has been released/is going to be released.

Haha right.. I remember that lesser demon thing (a skank? I forget the name) in the one town, who would pay full gold for any item, and whose gold stock would replenish very quickly. But, you needed it sometimes because of the insane costs of some of the spells/magic items!

Morrowind was probably the peak of the series for me, or at least the one I have spent the most time on. I thought Skyrim gave more freedom than Oblivion, but still not as much as that earlier game.

Now, if Bethesda ever wants some quick cash to the tune of a couple billion, they could just re-work Morrowind to have Skyrim graphics and combat mechanics. Not things like regenerating health and such, but just, well, physics in combat.

There's some fan mods that basically do just this.

Of course, they're PC only, and they require quite a powerful PC. But, they exist.

Total agreement. Morrowind was the game that set the bar for me. If only they could have such a large game witht he graphics that the newer ones had.

I meant more like dual-casting fire bolt at level 3/4. Win the game!

Could we actually have stats back? Cause that would be brilliant.
