Every so often I get back into Skyrim with a new set of mods - I expect Vendayn's pack will be one of these times. 

In the meantime, I've just started a new game with Requiem, which I've never used before.

Dear lord I'm a human punching bag.

Guys, I have a minor problem. I'm trying to explore Apocrypha, but the Seekers seem to be glitched- they keep exploding and insta-killing me (and everything else near them), and because I'm stuck in the free-falling animation in the real world, I have to reload.

I suspect it's to do with the bombcrab familiar. (SkyRe or Apocalypse Spell Package, probably SkyRe.)

EDIT: Nvm, it's because there was actually a bombcrab there.

Spoiler: and crash it did... (click to show/hide)

Well, time for another clean install...

Edit: Seems stable, for now. Decent dragon riding over open cities while throwing down javelins enchanted to cast fire/frost/shock rune on hit seems possible now.

I just bought Skyrim on the Steam sale.  This is probably the first modern RPG I have ever played.  Any advice on where to go and what to do?  I am mostly playing a meat shield, who specializes in hitting things.

Also, mammoths.  Boatmurdered-style mammoths.  Stick one with an arrow to see what happens, and suddenly it want to come talk to you quite urgently.

nope, none of it is good

Don't listen to that downer (assuming he's not being sarcastic).

You can follow the storyline for some decent money and items early on, but eventually you'll probably just want to pursue the endless number of sidequests. Really, though - if you just talk to people, you'll end up with quests all over the place. There's never a shortage of things to do in Skrim.

Tongue-in-cheek answer: To your browser, in search of mods.
Actual answer: Follow the main quest at least up until you have your FUS on.

I'm not sure how it was a downer thing to say...

I mean, there's no good advice on where to go because just walking in any direction will bring you something interesting. It's, like, the opposite of being a downer.

Way it was worded appears to be that you were saying nothing in Skyrim is good.

[Flying Dice]

Yeah, I was wondering about that myself.

ah shit

a reminder to everyone not to use vague pronouns

i meant there's no good advice for what to do except maybe get fus and so on first

I wonder what would result if we (Bay 12) tried to create a mod, with each member writing their own questlines within a land of our own creation.

Just check out whatever trainwiz is doing now, it's probably about the same thing as what I'd want to do.

I'd go for a total civil war where each city is governed by one ruler, you can ally with any of them, and at a time of your choosing, you can swap sides.  If someone has a 'build your own city' area, then I'd try to get it so you could join in on the war with that.

Civil War Overhaul + Tundra Defense, I think. CWO makes the battles more dynamic, lets you encounter roaming bands of fighters, etc... Tundra Defense lets you build your own fort to defend your land, hire mercs to guard and raid nearby.
