HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT
In my defense I picked up a cheap used VR headset and playing Skyrim in VR and holding all the sparkly spells in your hands is genuinely a pretty novel and magical experience
Aiming at your computer
I'm sorry, it's for your own good
No! Wait! I still haven't started the Dragonborn DLC! I wanna see Solstheiiiiiiimmmmm
Me but its morrowind
Well, not even last night's storm could wake you. I've heard them say we've reached Morrowind, I'm sure they'll let us go. Quiet, here comes the guard.
It is 2003 - i am tits deep in the morrowind creation kit
It is 2013 - i am tits deep in the morrowind creation kit

I'm pretty hyped for the rtx remix software so I can add traced rays to all the n'wahs
Morrowind is so good.
I picked it up on a recent steam sale so I can try Morrowind's own high quality VR mod through OpenMW, I'm pretty excited to try that out too
what is the hold this game has on people? i'm not judging or anything, i've spent an unconscionable amount of time playing MMOs, but i just don't get the skyrim appeal
As a dedicated modder, the appeal to me is probably different than a casual player, but I enjoy the thrill of the chase (making a 'perfect', beautiful and feature rich modpack) as well as every few years that I come back to the Skyrim mod scene, there's always some kind of really cool advancement that has released, like the functioning Seasons system, or the base object swapper and Spell perk item distributor, that can make your game even MORE beautiful and feature rich.
But uhh... someone who actually plays the game instead of modding it probably likes the open world and how there's generally always a series of sidequests and locations you didn't find on your last playthrough
i'm also a little modding goblin so i totally get you on that angle, i even get the appeal of other bethesda games (i am a new vegas girlie, as is trans tradition), i just don't understand why people are still so drawn to skyrim of all games, i guess. it just feels like a very generic open world fantasy game. i had the same issue with oblivion, thinking on it.
idk, sorry, i'm not trying to shit on your good time or anything. i'm glad you're enjoying yourself! i've always just kinda bounced off the non-NV bethesda offerings and i occasionally find myself wondering what i'm not seeing that leads people to love them (mostly skyrim) so much. thanks for taking a stab at explaining!
I, too, have more time in the Creation kit than in the game
The mod that uses "ai" to have an npc respond to natural language speech is neat in a "burn it burn it burn it" kind of way.
For millions of years humans wandered around eating stuff they found on the ground and fighting skeletons.
Skyrimblionwind is a game about wandering around eating stuff you find on the ground and fighting skeletons.
I sincerely believe much of the appeal of open world games is that for most of the time there have been humans we kind of just wandered around exploring and finding neat stuff and sometimes getting eaten by lions. People who live in capitalism hell where everything is fenced and it's illegal to go outside and you move between a series of small artificially lit boxes get a chance to wander around and explore and find neat stuff and eat things they found in barrels are like "oh my god this is what I was meant to do. This is why i am a biped with two dedicated limbs for grasping and manipulation. This is why i have binocular vision and symbolic reasoning. This makes sense, while my life of misery and boredom does not.
ahahahha definitely not me hahaI got really into Skyrim one year and haven't touched it since
I'm not bragging though, since I am in the middle of my fifth JESawyerMod run of New Vegas
600 game gang, and I still just play 90s games.
I mean to get around to playing a lot of classic iconic games, but the siren song of my sandbox games... it calls to me
I have enough console games to fill a car and barely have enough space to drive it. I'm doing an orc no-magic playthrough right now. On the switch, so I can play it everywhere. And I do.
Damn, I can't imagine ever playing Skyrim on a console, finding and installing all the big fancy mods is half of the appeal for me.
...though admittedly this may also be why I never get more than halfway through the MSQ
Same. I hate the base games, they're so boring and flavorless. But once the modders have, well, fixed all of Beth's bullshit they're a lot of fun.
none can resist the siren song of stealth archery
I am downloading a bunch of high octane flashy spell mods plus rebalanced mage perks and scaling to facilitate my first ever Skyrim pure mage playthrough but... resisting the stealth archer is never easy
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
I have no room to talk. I'm playing Ocarina of Time with my nephew.
Alright nerds explain what mods make Skyrim good.
These days all the cool kids download modpacks from Wabbajack, but it comes down to what you like about Skyrim and RPGs in general. Legacy of the Dragonborn adds a huge collection quest that you fill out as you go exploring, there are a lot of 3rd person combat overhauls that make the combat more dynamic and enemies less spongey, there's huge dramatic quest mods (Vigilant and company) or even total conversions like Enderal. There's also stuff like 3DNPCs and talkative companion mods if you just want more interesting characters to meet around Skyrim

I haven't been able to get this to work on Linux
In that case, can you recommend a modpack that fills these criteria:
- Eliminates obvious dominant strategies (stealth archer, grinding smithing/alchemy for free levels)
- Makes combat more interesting than "mash attack"
- Gets rid of HP sponges, (but also doesn't overcorrect into getting constantly one-shot)
- Fixes XP curves (destruction levels way more slowly than any other combat skill for no clear reason)
- Adds quests, ideally like the better questlines of the base game like the daedra questlines
- Not a total conversion like Enderal
same but it's league of legends or victoria 3 (restarting playthroughs of the same countries)
I started playing palworld a couple nights ago but haven't been back to it because I keep having weird anxiety where I feel like doing nothing until I'm 3-4 beers drunk and then it's been time to go to bed
