Force push seems to break NPCs.

More NPCs mod is great for this fucking game, makes it fill more lifefilled, now we just need a complete city populate mod.

[Kevinsevenalt]

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=9494 This is my favorite mod so far, adds several large scale battle locations around skyrim. Huge Stormcloak vs Imperial battles along with Undead and bandits, it's great.

[Eeshton]

That's been posted like 30 times though, is it really worth it? Especially if you have the More NPCs mod.

[Trooper-guy1]

I've been deciding on whether or not to get these 'increase NPCs and NPC battles' mods or not. Does it affect quests or make the world feel too crowded? Every couple of meters will I run into huge battles?

I'm not using the more NPCs mod, but the battles happen in pre defined places around Skyrim, so if you're up for a fight, you can just go there.

I used force push on a Draugr and he got stuck like this when he stood up. It showed that he had some health left, but when I got close enough it said "E) Search Restless Draugr".

Well, that Draugr is certainly not at rest...

Which is the better companion: Faendal or Sven? Can followers even be ordered to craft things?

Faendal, he can actually fight, unlike Sven who is a bard.

[IrishBandit]

FAendal can be exploited to get free 50 archery, just make him follow you, train, trade with him, take gold, repeat.

Anyone know a relatively simple way to get a custom mesh into the game from Blender? It's annoying that I have to go through multiple programs just to find out that I screwed up somewhere along the line.

[Atlascore]

So how is that more NPCs mod? Is it stable or does it crash a lot and cause other problems?

The whole NPCs looting and selling things in the background makes me skeptical of it's stability.

Edit:

I like this mod and all, but a little jog through the Rift resulted in me running and hiding from a swarm about 20 bandits. The entire town of Riverwood was slaughtered when I stopped by to do some smithing. Whenever I'm not fighting or running from attackers, I keep finding dead people and animals strewn about the place. This mod is awesome and wicked fun, but I can't do any small quests with it enabled because the NPCs keep dying. Could you please make a more toned down version?

OH-kaay. It was going quite well until I went to Solitude and found the archway jammed by hordes of imperial soldiers just standing there. Had to Fus Ro Dah them to get into the palace!

You need to have the npc's that are spawned be deleted after some time so they don't litter the world like this, or at least make them leave the city they end up in.

Sounds like there's way too many NPCS spawning, I think I'll wait before using it.

[LoLWaT?]

Ugh.
Holy shit.

Went ahead and started up Oblivion again and almost (pretty much) forgot about how the camera zooms into the face of who you're speaking with.


I wonder how long it will be until someone starts a project to port Oblivion into Skyrim.
Overhauled characters and everything.

It would be beautiful...
(Though not mod friendly i'd assume)

Actually, there is.

You can get something imported in less than 10 minutes by doing that. I used this tutorial to do my mods.

[JCDentonUNATCO]

Dear god the Warzones mod. West of Whiterun, there were literally HUNDREDS of Stormcloaks and Imperials fighting, no exaggeration. At such a low level, I died within seconds of popping my head out of cover because 30 steel arrows would instantly be shot at me.

The best part is, I have THREE mods that add more random people and battles around skyrim. So there ended up being Stormcloaks VS Imperials VS Bandits VS 4 Giants and mammoths. And then a Dragon decided to join the fray. It was incredible, and I didn't have a dip in performance from my usual FPS. (Although I have a godlike computer)



I ended up having to call in Flying Mammoth Air Support (FMAS) And keep in mind this little screenshot is 1/10th of the current battle going on, and there's not a lot being shown because I high tailed it to some rocks for cover.

From what I've read, the best thing to do until Skyrim-friendly Blender scripts come out is to use Fallout 3's .nif format (links to open nif files in Blender at http://www.oblivionmodwiki.com/index...er_NIF_Scripts at the top). Should be able to directly export it for use in Skyrim if all goes well, although you might need NifSkope to set up texture paths and all that jazz.

Are there any better ones or is this the best one out?

Why.

There's a glitch I use on draugr deathlords and scourges to keep them from completely raping my asshole on Master difficulty. You use all 3 words of unrelenting force so they got knocked to the ground, then you make them stumble (such as an overcharged destruction spell), they will instantly get up and stumble. They then walk in place in slowmo and will NEVER be able to attack you.

I didn't mind in Oblivion because I didn't use companions in Oblivion, I always felt bad about dragging them into hell.

Does oblivion even have companions/followers?

edit: I tried giving oblivion a try again.

potatos everywhere.

I wish there was a cyrodil mod with the oblivion quests using skyrim combat and graphics.

The ones you get after the guild quests, and temporary ones during quests.

I can't seem to find any mods that make the NPCs surrender when they've taken a beating. I am pretty sick of them shouting how they have given up, just to be stabbed as soon as I show them mercy. Have I missed a mod or is there no such thing out yet ?

That is great, now I just need to find out what it is called. Thanks. At least now I know that I am not wasting my time searching.
