So why do you guys keep going on about it?
Also, I didn't make the 'joke', just pointed the reference out though it was unnecessary it seems.

Anyway, anyone know some mod that makes dungeon crawling actually worthwhile?
Even with SkyRe theres barely any point in going into the majority of the places as I can just craft better stuff than i'll ever find

This is all that needs to be said about the "arrow to the knee" joke.

I need to play with SkyRe enabled, but I would feel bad about decompiling my current 30 something mods just to figure out what would and wouldn't be compatible. I don't know of anything that makes dungeon crawling worthwhile when compared to crafting, just because crafting is that overpowered when it comes down to it.

Plus, I recently re-picked up SPAZ and am suffering from an extreme addiction to it (again).

basically, if it changes perks or AI, probably not compatible. I don't think it makes substantive changes anywhere else.

Wow, that video actually manages to be more unfunny than the arrow to the knee joke...

That probably means Complete Crafting Overhaul, Hardcore and Rebalanced Experience, Smithing Perks Overhaul, ACE, and possibly Deadly Combat, Tougher Traps, and Advanced Kill Moves could be incompatible.

Well, time to play the game I've always played with Bethesda games on PC... spending more time getting mods to play nicely with each other than I do playing the game, half the time. I shudder a bit at how much time I spent doing that in Oblivion, but there seemed to be more to fix or add, or just toy around with. I'm looking at you, Midas Magic nuclear blast spell.

At least, when it does work, it is glorious.

So, I got myself a new computer that can run Skyrim pretty darned well, but there's one problem. After an hour or less of gameplay, it started to crash. Well, maybe crash isn't the word. It just closes. About every 5 minutes after I start playing, the game closes. It seems that a lot of other people are having this problem, and the cause of it seems to be the limited amount of RAM the game uses. Didn't Bethesda fix that? How am I to enjoy the game if I have to launch it again after making no progress at all? I'd like to actually make use of my beefy computer. How do you fix this?

The RAM thing was fixed.
You have it on Steam? Try forcing an update.

 I hear the new Dawnguard DLC is liked more than any previous DLC. Anybody here play on console and checked it out?

I haven't gotten it, but the premise just made me facepalm, so yeah.

The big plot is that the vampires want to get rid of the sun? But that would kill all the plants, and then all the herbivores, and then all the carnivores, and then all of the happy meals with legs! Whoever came up with that plan has to be nuts.

The sun in the Elder Scrolls is just a giant hole in Oblivion, it's not an actual 'sun' in the solar sense so...maaaaybe it wouldn't? Magic is weird and shit... :P

 Yeah, the world is crazy enough that the plan seems sensible in context. This is a universe where somebody commandeered a giant mech that was a pillar of reality. Blackreach exists. The world will be fine.

 Besides the unnatural red glow over the Sun.

Technically, seven people commandeered a giant mech that was a pillar of reality at the same time. In different places. Creating a stable country from what was essentially feuding warlords. Because the act of trying to control the mech was so odd, the god of time got confused by it and just stopped paying attention.

Yup, craaaazy world.

Just as long as no one makes the argument that "This is a fantasy world. You have no right to complain about inconsistency, even if purple elephants suddenly appear from the inside of bananas." Very tired of that one, I am. That would only be allowed in TES if Sheogorath was involved somehow.

Anyway, presumably this Vampire lord has some plan in mind. It has been said that life-sustaining energy does flow into the world through the sun, and also that the sun and stars are the source of all Magicka.

 The argument isn't so much that it's a ka-razy world so much as who is to say this is inconsistent?

Usually, and I quote, the argument part is stated "This world has X fantastic element, so Realism is thrown out the window."

BoT: This vampire clan likely has some sort of plan, though. Certainly turning off the sun would screw with the world a lot, likely pissing off Kynareth greatly. I read somewhere that all the energy of Nirn flows in through the sun and stars.
