I would love for some future TES game to have full-scale Tamriel or even Nirn. Imagine finding Whiterun and it looks like this:

faction quests that are actually very long so it would take 500 hours to finish main quest alone for example. Sounds overkill but that would really be an epic long time adventure and imagine the satisfaction of saying "Yay, I'm the fucking master of Dark Brotherhood, I remember how I just started their quests last summer". I do aknowledge that this is extreme and I don't know if it would actually work as a game, but dreaming never hurt anybody.

Hey, 30 years ago current tech in games was only a dream too.

That would require a shit ton of work and lots of time to make and it would probably bankrupt bethesda if it didn't sell.

Ah what the hell, it's a TES game, it'll sell.

Yeah, everyone would love to do quests like "Find X and kill X in Whiterun".
I think the current sizes of cities are good, but it would be lovely if they atleast joined Skyrim with Tamriel and Morrowind.

I don't know, in current RPGs everything happens so fast. I got to level 35 in skyrim in 20 hours and that's without grinding or cheating. Then it gets a little dull so I create a new character thus I had played with 10 characters in the 250 hours I had in Skyrim. Would be nice to instead have one that progressed slowly past those 250 hours.

I know for the pre-CK work, but that doesn't explain everything.

He just rushed the Skyrim version, that's it. With papyrus scripting you can do almost everything.

I can't tell if you're being serious or not but its currently still in early stages, I haven't seen any note from him saying "THIS IS IT, I'M OUT". He hasn't rushed anything, he's been working on it steadily and is able to do a lot more now that the CK is out. Do you just expect him to make the mod in a day or something?

Oh god, that sounds amazing. I'm fairly sure if that happened, no TES fan would ever be seen outside again. Also, if Whiterun looked like that,    storming it alongside Galmar    (or    defending it   ) would be incredibly fun.

I am not saying that I don't like skyrim. Its a wonderful game and has satisfied me to almost 200 hours of play time. BUT all I'm saying is that there is so much more that could have easily been in the game. In that way it is somewhat disappointing.
But I said, I'm not hating on it at all. We could probably say this about almost any game that comes out.

[McMissile]

So it turns out my friends decided to play a prank on me months ago and make me marry Stenvar (the dude) when I wasn't looking. I found out when I talked to him and he called me "love".

So what did I do? Collected 10,000 coins in earnings from his store, brought him to the winterhold college, killed him, and put his body on display...

Oh man that made me burst out laughing for real.

Go to center of city, find your way out, no fast travel

Easy:
1. Go in a random direction.
2. If you hit a building, go around it.
3. When you hit the city wall, follow it until you find the exit.

That's how I coped with the towns in Oblivion when I were there for the first time and didn't know where anything was.

Edited:

I was about to fight a dragon, but it seems to have gotten resurrected and an immortal alduin is frozen above the mound.


That wasn't much of an issue since I still got to fight the dragon, but a really strange and annoying bug I got was the fact that the palace of kings was full of stormcloaks/guards.

Level 35 in 20 hours?

Were you just going straight for leveling your skills rather than, you know, play the game itself? Explore, wander around, and stuff.

Come to think of it again, that's one of the things that annoys me with Skyrim, or, I guess TES overall (but only played Skyrim and watched Oblivion, so w/e), you don't gain any experience whatsoever from doing quests, you can only level with skills. And well, ok, that would of been cool if it wasn't for the fact that at one point you've leveled up all the skills you use and want and if you want to progress further you're forced to leveling up skills you think are useless or do not want.

I got a weird bug with steam when I want to launch my game, I installed an mod that allows you to divorce someone, and when I wanted to launch the game the "Starting skyrim..." screen kept opening and closing really fast, and after that the "can't sync to steam cloud, go fuck yourself or play" but no matter what I press, game doesn't launch. I have unsubscribed the mod and verified game cache.

I agree on this, I hate all the people who want/make mods of riding or becoming a dragon, it just seems too ridiculous.

I don't want to instigate a Skyrim hate march here, but here's a question that's been burning in my mind for a while:

Was anyone completely satisfied with what they got from Skyrim right out of the box?

Skyrim was the first Bethesda game I feel is totally playable and fun to play more than 50+ hours without mods. I put 100 hours on just one character alone, and I didn't start adding real mods to it until 80 hours in, which is way more than past games.

There are some serious issues, and Bethesda really suffers from developing in a bubble and never focus testing (they even said this themselves) which means obvious design issues get passed as final, but the game as a whole is enjoyable from the start. It fixed every issue I had with Oblivion, though it introduced new (less severe but still bad) issues. Such as questing being awful (which is doubly so when the entire game's design focuses on questing over the actual world unlike Morrowind), and a lot of the RPG design was very poorly done. But these are things that didn't outright make me go "... really?", they were just lackluster and uninspiring compaired to everything else, and they are things that are theoretically able to be fixed with mods.

Updated yet again.

Night lighting is leveled out, daytime and dusk settings tweaked. (Comparisons are there too)

I know, but that was necessary to get to     the place you go to before getting to sovengard, if the player were to control him, it would be giving the player too much freedom and you would hit a lot of invisible walls, just like why we can't have levitation spells any more.

Does it impact fps a lot?

I have no fps loss. It's my custom settings for Realistic Lighting with Customization. So you'll need This first, then My settings.

The mod doesn't use post-processing, so you shouldn't have an fps loss at all.

How can I make this feel more tavern-y.

The idea is similar to metro, it's a little pub in what is essentially a bomb shelter

What about an actual bar disk.

This is why I can't wait for the expansions, because hopefully they will have learned from their mistakes in Skyrim and make the new quests amazing.

The RPG stuff can possibly be fixed too but I'm not holding my breath.

Anyone know any good mods that makes the game darker both in dungeons and the world (at night, obviously)?

I've been using this one, it makes dungeons and nights a lot darker, and removes that ugly greenish tint on everything, it also makes the game look kinda better during daytime.

I was hoping that all the empty barrels and chests in that room would suddenly be filled with loot. Maybe someone could spice that quest up a bit. Add some things that happen.
