Anyone still playing Skyrim since Fallout 4 came out?

Been killing time by playing FONV. Might end up going back to Skyrim once I finish it.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

I never would have pegged Bay12 as a location for Skyrim RP.

In more relevant conversation, I'm redownloading it to see how stuff has changed since I last played it in like 2012.
Perkus Maximus sounds interesting, so what are some must-have mods to go with that?

i think it says something about ES lore when i misread "deadrick" as "dick" at first and was significantly more confused after realizing it was wrong

PerMa is the ONLY "must have" mod :P

But if you want my recommendations:
Live Another Life OR Skyrim Unbound (please don't try and install both at once)
Civil War Overhaul
Better Vampires
Royal Bloodline
Dragon Soul Relinquishment
Achieve That!

And if you want some survival/realism:
Realistic Needs&Diseases
Frostfall

That's what I have off the top of my head, for more check out http://skyrimgems.com/index.html though don't expect them all to be keepers.

PM is only "must have" if you're willing to accept T3nd0's set of changes as an acceptable compromise in exchange for not having to compile mods suited to your tastes. Personally, the way he handled magic wasn't something I liked, nor was the bleed/debuff/stagger mechanic. The rest of the martial stuff was the same as I got from other mods that had additional stuff I liked. The Prodigy thing in the thief/sneaky sneak perk trees was an obnoxious imposition.

Basically PM is waaaay too personalized and specific for me. It also tends to impose on other areas affected by other sorts of mods like spell packs, combat mods, crafting overhauls, &c.

Well, I suppose I simply consider it a must have because I'm not really compromising at all. I love pretty much everything he changed to death, and the few things that MIGHT be annoying simply fall by the wayside from all the amaze. Literally the biggest complain I can think of off the top of my head is that you can't enchant Warmaster smithed equipment, and that's entirely just me being a munchkin :P

Fair enough, natch. It's very much a to-each-yer-own sort of thing, but PM is also comprehensive enough to bear warning people to not assume it's the only option.

True, but he was already planning to test it out for himself, so I wasn't really misleading him or anything.

I'm actually a pretty big fan of Skyrim Redone's perk trees. Makes speech a lot more important and useful beyond "PAY LESS MONEY FOR THINGS" and integrates neato abilities into shouts.

I have to say, I wish PerMa used literal descriptions of what perks do. The author is amazing at writing the most generic-possible sounding fluff without telling me what to actually expect about changes in how the game will play.
