I've been out of the loop. Is there a "Skyrim Mod" thread? If not I think it'd be good to compile an updated OP list of good game-enhancing mods rather than TITSINYOFACE for us to reference.
I normally just grab everything in the top list they maintain, specifically the top list (non-adult).

Dynavision looks pretty nice actually, very interesting effect demonstrated in the video.

Climates of Tamriel is too, it just stinks to have to decide between that and Sounds of Skyrim.

Is there any low-res texture pack other than 'Reduced texture pack'? My video card is 8600GTS, so, the lagging is huge. On low settings with 'reduced pack' it runs on the border of playability.

Yes, it's called morrowind.  :P

I'm going to attempt a pacifist playthrough of the main quest later. I believe it will be possible, using mostly sneak , illusion, and speechcraft, and the only places I'll have to use violence will be against Tsun and Alduin.

I got the game yesterday, and this is really fun. I like feeling like a complete badass when Dovahkiin's theme plays in the background while my character performs a finishing move on a dragon.

Am I the only one who completely ignores the main quests? I have absolutely zero interest in dragons, imperials or stormcloaks.

If you can barely run Skyrim with a low-res pack already installed, Morrowind is going to be just as bad. That game has some serious FPS issues.

FYI, "the border of playability" for me is about 20-25 FPS, with some one-second drops to 5-10 FPS. Morrowind works flawlessly on my video card, I've started playing it on Geforce2MX and since have collected much experience in tweaking it to be playable. I'm out of that latest mod (it is called Morrowind Overhaul 2), but I heard that it was struggling even on video cards like 560Ti. :)

Does pacifist just mean indirect killing? Frenzy and fury might be useful.

At most, making followers do the dirty work and/or tricking enemies into traps. I'll try for sneak/run past everything.

I have found a vampire lair where I can both enchant and do some alchemy. If I store stuff here, will it stay, like in Morrowind or has that changed?
