Behold. The greatest and most hilarious idea for a Skyrim lp ever
That has inspired me. I'm loading up a version of Skyrim with 72 mods now; should I record it?
Holy crap this is awesome. I need to try this sometime.

You need someone else to assemble the mods for you. It's not as fun if you know roughly what to expect.
Which is why the 'subscribe to entire collection' button in the Steam workshop is so much fun.

The mod number has jumped to 131 just because I can, and they are downloading now. Hopefully there aren't too many graphics mods in there, as I don't know if my poor rig could handle graphics of that magnitude.

Edit: Mod number is being whittled down due to a crash-on-launch. :<

There's a 'Subscribe to collection' button? Shit, I manually subscribed to over 40 mods because I somehow couldn't find it. *Facepalm*

Still, you have to use Nexus for some of the larger, more interesting mods.

I challenge someone to build a Mod List in both Steamworkshop and Nexus...
The goal is to add more dangerous encounters, make the game more challenging from the get go and to bring forth a new feeling of Skyrim.
It must not have any, graphic enhancing things (those efm or whatever they are) or anything that is too stupid or crazy...
It may have some overpowered things as long as its not free or in mass supply that it makes the game a cake walk...

I would be happy to play it and do a LP of it with this modlist... :P
DO NOT tell me what mods are in it, do try and make it as hidden as possible. For mods from the Nexus, I will be loading and hitting the download button as fast as possible without looking at what it does or what its called...

What about graphic reducers? I saw a mod on nexus that some guy literally reduced all the textures to crazy low amounts, it looked so bad it was interesting.

Thats actually pretty awesome, loving that style (it would probably get annoying after a few hours, but it would be easy to change back).

yes yes yes, don't think I didn't consider it.
OH MY GOD YOU MONSTERS YOU'RE TRYING TO START A MUSICAL ANARCHY AREN'T YOU I'M GOING TO THE POLICES!

What I'd like to see is the ability to send some sort of code over Xbox Live and get to download the game for free or for a severe discount. Probably a discount, since kids would obviously abuse this to give their friends 5$ games, but it'd make more sense. Or just find a way to allow game mods on Xbox/PS3.

You can't build a computer of running skyrim smoothly with $250. Consoles are cheap, you don't need to deal with bullshit, they (barely ever) need to be repaired or updated, etc. I can see why some people prefer them.

That said, yes, the PC is the best gaming platform, but not everyone wants to shell out upwards of 1k to get a machine capable of feeding their hobby.

I build my PC for $700, including Windows 7, and it runs Skyrim on Ultra-High. You probably couldn't take it down to 250, but you could probably get one that ran it on medium for about 450 or so. It's well worth it, since games tend to be cheaper.

Don't forget that you are likely to need a computer for some other purpose. So its more like (price_of_reasonable_gaming_computer - price_of_original_computer). That is, if you are going to get a PC anyway, a couple hundred dollars extra and it should play the game without issue.

Also mods. Who would play an ES game without mods?
