Just curious, what do most people use as their graphics enhancer/enb/fxaa? Because Confident ENB the most downloaded one on the nexus looks horrible in game to me, am I the only one?? The colors are ghastly in it I think..

 The advanced shaders you have to fiddle with to make things look alright. I just use some bumpmaps that are more pronounced to make some textures less flat and something that makes nights brighter.

[hemmingjay]

the only thing I use is some mod that makes ores brighter. Other than that I just run it maxed out and it looks fine to me.

Wow, you are missing out on so much my friend! I couldn't imagine playing it vanilla, the enb series does absolute WONDERS for the game. You just need to find a good setting.

I like glowing ores too

If you think WiS Dark Age is tough try UnLeveled World. All it does is completely de-level EVERYTHING in your world. Starting a new game with this + Wars in Skyrim is the most fun I've had in SKyrim by far. You should use cutthroat merchants mod very hard.esp though as all loot is unleveled too. This makes gold actually useful. At level 1 I am running into enemies that I didn't even know existed. It is pretty imbalanced obviously until the CK comes out but you can get a real great balance going using other mods.

Bleak Falls Barrow seems pretty much impossible at level 1 but it makes you change the way you play. I snuck my way through until I awoke about 3 Draugr Scourges, I killed 2 with a trap but then I saw the Deathlord so I made them eat my dust as I frantically opened the final door with the golden claw. I learned my word of power and had to fight something like 'Evil Wight Overlord' or something. It was epic but I was able to burn him down with a little help from some expert destruction robes I found before I was overran by draugr.

I grabbed the dragonstone, left the cave and finally caught my breath.

Links to these mods would have been helpful...

--Mod List--

I can tell you have a great PC to run the game on, I can't sadly. So Graphics come last over gameplay, as it should be always...

Well, among my list there's one for gameplay - Balanced Magic (v1.30). It's pretty good, makes my mage feel useful, and fight at level ground with melee/stealth fighters. It includes 3 options - allowing you to tailor how powerful magic will be.

There're 3 esp files (Novice/Adept/Master), that controls how fast your magicka regenerates in combat, how much extra magicka is used for dual-casting and how much more effective dual-casting is. Enemy mages are affected by the same parameters, so it's great.

You should read its readme for all the changes made.

Its less of the fact that Google not being my friend and more of a Courtesy Request of the poster. Generally you shouldn't mention something and leave the reader to go searching for that when you yourself would know how to find it quick...


EDIT:: Is that Unleveled World compatible with the most updated version of Skyrim at War???

[Sergius]

On the other hand, giving a LARGE list of links is very time consuming (do you keep a bookmark on every mod you install, or would you have to Google every single one and spend 15-30 minutes writing a forum post?)

It's understandable when you're referencing some article somewhere... but it's like, if you're asked your list of "favorite games" or "favorite movies" or "favorite songs", it shouldn't be a requisite to provide link for each one.

[jester]

Id almost be willing to go out on a limb and say that skyrim mods would almost warrant their own threads once the modtools have been out for a bit.

[Tarran]

I'm pretty sure every single mod gets their own thread auto-created.

Would make sense if I was asking him to Link me to 10 or more mods which he randomly listed, but he made a larger mention of two mods. If I myself mentioned a single mod, I would link it as I have done a few pages ago when I found the Tytanis Mod. Mentioning something and saying, you should have a go of it and not linking it makes the reader less inclined to go get it. Doesn't show any support behind ones words...
