Holy crap, I recently started playing Skyrim and want to have the vanilla experience at first, but wow that Epic Gameplay Overhaul looks really awesome.

[Tellemurius]

So I've been trying to get into Skyrim after replaying New Vegas and FO3 again, thus slowly weaning myself onto Bethesda games. I already have a modlist in mind, but I have a question of which combat revamp I should pick, Duel or Ultimate Combat?

Also is Epic Gameplay Overhaul worth it or should I just stick to Civil War Overhaul?

Is Civil War Overhaul stable for you? It lags my box to death if i run other mods with it.

I was able to run civil war overhaul with no lag. Personally I decided not to keep it, but I can't fault the mod.

I had no issues with it at all. The main problem mod was Frostfall that a lot of people use. That killed my game and increased my CTDs A LOT, even on a lighter load list. That one is #1 game killer, even with a lesser mod list.

Also. Frostfall off

save 9mb at completely new game. Raises to 11mb over a period of 6 hours. Save still loads fine, no issues.

Frostfall 12mb new game, raises to 14-16 mb over a period of 3 hours and then causes MASSIVE issues, save unloadable

I think that Duel does a better job of it, but I'm sure that there are people who'd argue the opposite. That's not the end of combat mods, either, there are a lot that work well when overlapped; my personal setup is Duel + Combat Evolved + VioLens, and that's not including other related stuff like Deadly Dragons, SPERG, Tougher Traps, Faster Arrows, &c.


Don't use Civil War Overhaul if you like your games to run smoothly and not crash. It's a good concept but the execution is virtually unplayable for a lot of people.

[Krevsin]

Okay, I'll just add Warzones then.

[Putnam]

Warzones is worse, do not add it.

[Trapezohedron]

Warzones has afaik not been updated since 2012.

fakedit: or maybe not: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/9494/?

but i doubt the implementation is improved, what with its aim being quite large.

[Vendayn]

warzones causes save corruption, mass CTDs, and TONS of problems. On an unmodded game with only unofficial patches (cause why play without unofficial patches? no thanks, no mod is worth sacrificing those).

Avoid it like the plague.

[Krevsin]

But but muh war.

Eh, I'll manage without it. Even if the game feels like A FILTHY LIAR for not actually comitting to the whole grand "civil war" thing.

So, current modlist:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

CNHF body+armor replacer for no boobplate (SFW version)
Enhanced Lights and FX
The Ruffled Feather - Mod Collection
Simple Magic Overhaul
SkyUI (duh)
ASIS
SkyRe
Duel

I've been thinking of adding Wet and Cold and a basic needs mod. And suggestions on the latter?

Here's the usual link.

I just want to be clear, this is the mod equivalent of, "Oh, this mustard is a bit strong, I guess I'll just shove my nose in this horseradish sauce and inhale deeply."

I think I get it now guys. Warzones is the best thing ever, right? 


Anyway, I opted for iNeed.

Damnit really? I like using Frostfall. Is it due to the amount of npcs or regardless its a fucking mess? I rather have a workaround for this solution cause I like was Frostfall gives me alongside with Realistic Needs and Diseases
