Aside from allowing further levelling for extra perks(Although even that will likely reach the point you can go through raising a skill all the way back to 100 without earning enough to gain a level, imposing a new effective level cap.) there doesn't appear to be any actual bonus to declaring a skill legendary.

Wouldn't it be, like, expanding the limit for a skill to 200 ? I've not tested anything, but that could fit with their legendary difficulty setting.

Probably any of them which affect the perks and skills at least. Maybe any which arent strictly visual

Seems like Skyrim Redone needs an update by then.
And it seems like the Community Uncapper will become obsolete as well.

This sucks. Skyrim Dragonborn refuses to work for me. Ever.

Spoiler: Chronicles (click to show/hide)
For those so inclined, I have a mod list below, if you want to diagnose the problem.

Best bet is probably to nuke the whole set of mods that I have installed, or ignore Dragonborn altogether.

Hey, they're revisiting Solstheim! I didn't expect that.

A bit funny, since I'm currently assembling a modpack to make Morrowind/Bloodmoon/Tribunal play a bit more like Skyrim in all the ways that it improved, while retaining the things that made the earlier game awesome. So far, increased the hit rate and added active blocking to make combat less frustrating, added spellcasting while wielding weapons, and more sensible animal behaviors (no more endless hordes of Cliffracers divebombing you, unless you piss them off or loiter). So far, so good!

I recently caught wind (hurhur) of Skywind as well; the latest Morrowind-porting project. If nothing else, it looks pretty nice.

Yes, they're getting helped a lot by dragonborn, as it makes a lot of buildings easier to make (already done rather than from scratch).

Try disabling the unofficial patches and trying again. I wasn't able to complete the Dragon Rising quest (the one where you kill your very first dragon) because the unofficial patches conflict with Dragonborn.

Well, I'm pretty frustrated right now. I have a hankering for some Skoirom, but it keeps crashing on the main menu. It only started doing this today, after I tried installing the most recent version of SkyUI. I think it might have been switching to the beta and back after making a mistake with the versions of SKSE.

Tropical Skyrim has been released.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It is... wow. It's great. GREAT. Obviously it changed Skyrim to be more of a jungle region (think Farcry 3/Elseweyr-esque). It's not like it's some tiny little mod that fixes up some landscape either - it changes the lighting, water, buildings, external ruins, etc. Bamboo houses, blue jungle lakes, jungle sound ambiance, etc.

As a first release there are bugs and imperfections - some of the plant textures are pretty bad and trees clipping into things is quite normal. Apparently the lighting on LOD trees are terrible too. These will probably all be fixed via updates. Needless to say, this will be incompatible with a LOT of mods, especially those that retexture the terrain or flora, lighting mods, or mods that change the vanilla creatures. This is a potential deal-breaker and likely to steer you away from using it as one of your main files, so I really recommend playing it on a separate copy of Skyrim.

And yes, l lorebreaking as shit, I know.

Guess I can't do that TC set on a french tropical island colony. Oh well. That sure does look pretty though.

There's precedent in lore for huge regions flipping from jungle to not jungle. I don't see why it couldn't happen the other way around. >:]

"You have suffered for me to win this throne, and I see how you hate tundra. Let me show you the power of Talos Stormcrown, born of the North, where my breath is long winter. I breathe now, in royalty, and reshape this land which is mine. I do this for you, Red Legions, for I love you."

If I play with that mod on, maybe I should change town musics to that of Tropico 3 & 4.
Edit: Maybe even add an NPC called Juanito as well.
