Skyrim is so cruel sometimes. I was walking next to a sweet fox and it was looking at me and smiled and I smiled back and we were walking a few minutes together (while Lydia was slow as hell) and then we met a Hunter and I tried to talk to him but he was all like OW MAYBE NEXT TIME and then he shot the fox. Man. Dude. I was really saddened. The Hunter teleported onto his horse which was standing 20 meters away and walked by. I shot him in the back of his head and killed his horse. Fuck you, fox killers.
Ever since I got that one unlimited necromancy mod, I just sort of shout at every random small critter I run into and reanimate it. So everywhere I go, I'm trailed by a small army of zombie rabbits, foxes, and deer. There's a few goats in there as well.

That's beautiful, haha. On the topic of small-but-wonderful mods, try this.

Literally all it does is replace that 4-second looping sound of the wind in Draugr tombs &c. with a better-quality 27-second loop. It sounds tiny, but the difference in the atmosphere is remarkable.

So your partners in this game are immortal (minus quest deaths)?

I wish I knew that.

I have often DREADED having allies in these sort of games because people are always so rock stupid in terms of keeping themselves alive... I always am like "No no no! I don't need your help. I'll take on that small army."

I rarely played games where I felt burdened by help. (They do exist... LUCT for example)

IIRC there are both immortal and mortal followers, and the ones that are immortal can be killed by the player (even accidentally). Most of them are immortal, but there are a few sellswords that aren't.

Haha. Oh well. I want to play the vanilla (+ unofficial Skyrim+DLC patches) first since I literally just started today. :x

Seriously though, do yourself a favor and get Sky UI. It's pretty much required for PC players, because the vanilla UI is a useless piece of shit.

Oh thanks for the reminder! I knew I forgot to download one last mod but couldn't remember which mod it was. *downloads*

When you mod Skyrim...you can make it...

An RTS (and you can become king of skyrim and rule all)
-Build your own fort!
-Build your own castle!
-Build a house! (hearthfire too, so build two houses!)
-Command an army!
-Build your own city!

A business tycoon (own businesses :D)
-Risk style game! Conquer places and earn resources and control all of Skyrim!)
-Own your own farm and profit!
-Own your own mill and hire your own workers!
- Be a property owner and own all places of Skyrim!
-Own your own guild! Make it what you want!

You can play it as The Sims
-Dress-me-up
-TOTALLY FASHION I LOOK FAAAABUUULLOOOUS
-I AM SO HOT
-LETS GET MARRIED AND HAVE CHILDREN!
-LETS GET IT ON!
-BATHROOM TIME
-GOT TO EAT DRINK AND SLEEP

You can play it as a survival game
-brrr so cold, I'm freezing to death!
-Starving to death
-Dying of thirst
-Not enough sleep and died
-turn off all HUD and WHERE AM I??? (vanilla game, no need to use immersive UI...the game does it for you)
-AH DISEASE! I didn't know Skyrim had deadly diseases! I remember before mods I laughed at disease!
-Many other survival aspects appear

MOST REALISTIC COMBAT
-With HUD off, play a true archer (better with mods or ini tweaks though, cause vanilla archery without ini tweaks is stupid...limits arrows to 50 feet or something and then they magically disappear)...have to aim and actually be skillful
-True realistic combat, more realistic than mount and blade itself!
-you own game, with mods, game owns you

NEW LANDS!
Elsweyr
Wyrmstooth
Faalskar (think thats it)

All epic

Not only is it all the above...

And that is not all! (used cars salesman voice and typical commercial salesman)

Not only with mods, but if you get mods...you can...get 2 for the price of 1! I KNOW IF WE SOLD ONE AT HALF PRICE IT BECOMES THE SAME BUT IT SOUNDS BETTER WITH TWO! ONE EXTRA YOU DO NOT REALLY WANT! FOR FREE! FOR DOUBLE THE PRICE WE SHOULD SALE ONE FOR SO IT MAKES IT SOUND FREEEE!!!!

Not only is it The Sims, an RTS, A tycoon, a survival game, the most realistic combat RPG...BUT IT ALSO INCLUDES EVERY GENRE, MOVIE AND EVERYTHING OUT THERE!

Adult game, FPS game, Fantasy game, Sci-fi game, space game, warhammer game, warcraft game, game of thrones game, telletubies game! (there really is one...)...a horror game, combat simulator, tycoon game, sims game, dictator game, murderer game, pyschopath game, pedo game (now that is scary), a starcraft game, a diablo game

THE LIST GOES AND ON! EVERY GAME IS MODDED INTO SKYRIM!

AND! some mods are so rare you can add it to a priceless collection of no one ever having it BUT YOU! and you can brag to your friends!

YOU CAN SHOW SCREENSHOTS AND REFUSE TO TELL PEOPLE WHAT THEY ARE OR HOW TO GET IT! and why? BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE POWER AT YOUR HANDS

ALL FOR THE LOW PRICE OF BUYING SKYRIM ON THE PC AND MODDING IT! ...do you want to lead a band of zerg against orcs? DO THAT IN SKYRIM!...want to fight diablo in hell??? DO THAT IN SKYRIM...want to get it on with imaginary characters and have imaginary girlfriends?? DO THAT IN SKYRIM

BUY SKYRIM AND GET MODS FREEEE

...sorry guys I went on too much there. I'm so messed up right now and I dunno what I'm typing barely. Gonna get sleep lol...night guys

Another sad story happened. There was this lonely NPC woman doing some wood works and I was cutting some wood to help her out. Once finished I turned around just to see her dead on the ground next to her dead two chicken. Really. At first I didn't know what happened and literally had a lot question marks above my head I soon enough discovered the reason of this slaughter: 3 wolves. Traded their pelt for some apples.

-huge snip-
You should write the blurbs on the back of game boxes. That definitely beats the pictures of explosions and half-sentences spouting out the same drivel over and over.

Keep trying, I guess. The servers can be a bit iffy at times.

Does anybody know when (As in, what level) the serpentine dragons from Dragonborn start appearing? You know, the blue hornless ones with the underbite.

From the uesp, the serpentine dragons start appearing in levelled lists at level 55. Prior to that you will only see them when scripted in the dragonborn quest.

For a game about dragons which speak words of power, they are really dumb.

I wish the last boss would involve thu'um duel.
