Oh man, one of the best parts of Dragon Soul Relinquishment is that it makes an unarmed 'Punch Everything' build viable even without that heavy armor perk.

Meh. Seems like I have to enable VSync and Triple Buffering because of this weird poltergeist physics bug that occurs when you have 60+ fps. The weird thing though is that I didn't have this bug until now.

True, I intended to use that vigorously in the Lets Play I did for a little while (never got around to it because lost interest and totally changed mod list shortly afterward) though now that I use SkyRe it would just seem a bit redundant (SkyRe gives you two "unarmed" weapons dependent on light weapon skill, and has perks relevant to them.)

Actually now I'm curious about something. SkyRe replaces vanilla unarmed damage bonus enchantments with damage reflection...would this also cause the bonus from DSR to change?
Probably not, but something I should investigate nonetheless.

I wouldn't think so; the way DSR does it is just by giving a flat buff to unarmed damage, rather than some sort of enchantment. Sort of like how Achieve This! just plain increases your base movespeed when you buy that with your points, rather than adding a permanent speed enchantment.

The Talos shrine in Whiterun... It annoys the crap out of me. How do I get it to actually help me? Normally when I get the "blessing" it reduces my shout recharge by a whopping 0%. Never got it to go higher.

I do, however, always wear the Amulet of Talos, which decreases it by 15% IIRC.

It reduces the recharge by 20%, it just SAYS 0%.

Heh, has anyone tried reducing the shout recharge time to 0? Rapid fire shouts sounds like a great tool to induce game crashes.

There's a mod called Dragon Soul Relinquishment that can allow you to reduce the cooldown to 0.  The whole shout meter at the top still has to cooldown, so sadly rapid fire shouts are out.

Now if someone modded out that little cooldown period, fun times could indeed occur.

It's a display bug. It says 0%, but that's because it's rounding down from the fact that it's reducing your shout time by (time)*.2, which is in fact 20%.

Open up the console, type "tgm".

Did it with enchanting exploits. Rapid fire shouts don't crash the game, but they are great fun.

Can you make dragons use rapid-fire shouts? They could use some.

I was told BOSS would sort my load order better than I could do manually, but constant CTDs everywhere suggest it was a lie.

Then you get cities like Paris where you should basically just kill yourself already.

You won’t have to think anymore: it’ll be just like having fun!

It's not BOSS. BOSS only sorts the load order. The crashes are probably from one of the mods.

DLCs cause massive save bloat, corruption, immense bugs and errors galore. Have to use TES5edit to clean those DLCs otherwise your game will be as broken as the console versions.

And BOSS is old, outdated and utterly useless as hell. I always hated it in Skyrim, barely found any mods and was so crappy.

Get LOOT http://loot.github.io/

far better

Also, for a even more stable game...learn to use Wrye Bash for bashed patch and TESedit to merge modsand create a merged patch :)

My Skyrim has 277 mods, but actually only has 194 because I merged them with TESedit and the script mod to go with it. And funny enough, I have LESS ctds (very very rarely) than I did when I had with only 100 mods...and performance is better. Actually...performs better than vanilla+DLC game. So, my heavily modded Skyrim performs better than the consoles :P
