Skyrim Special Edition Coming 28 October

Well, I've never played it either. But with Civ 6 coming out this week that's not likely to change any time soon. ^-^

Curse you all!!

Ok gents. Direct me, when you can, do some good mods for the game. I have it in my Steam library (it counts for something that I at least own it, right?) O0

I highly recommend you follow the directions for modding here, at the S.T.E.P project: http://wiki.step-project.com/STEP:2.2.9.2

There's a similar project concentrating primarily on items called G.E.M.S., too. But the S.T.E.P instructions will teach you how to effectively mod, and give you a constantly player-tested base of mods that help make the gameworld look and act better. There are variations of mod paths in STEP for computers of various strengths, and/or for players who want to max their play experience with a minimum of modding.

Holy crap....that's a buttload of info! and mods

Looking it over, I guess you just choose which mods you want?

Thanks for that link.

Steam makes it easy. You just subscribe to the mod you want and it's automatically installed and up-dated if you choose the automatic up-dater function. You can go by user reviews to see what's popular or not and you can un-install any time you want. The Steam mods are somewhat limited in size so the mods on Nexus are usually larger and do more but less easy to install and up-date. Unless things have changed a lot since last I perused them. In my opinion, the game doesn't need much in the way of mods. It's pretty much perfect just the way it is. My 2 cents.

Agreed. It's pretty good vanilla, I wouldn't rush out to start modding necessarily. I finished it the first play through wit no mods.

Not going to start a Skyrim thread but I have to say.....

Why haven't I played this game until now? About to go kiss my wife and tell her we had a good run.

HOLY HELL......this game is gorgeous! O0

Sub'd to a few mods and they all seem to work (as far as I can tell) but the UI one doesn't work. I got a message saying something else wasn't update so the UI mod isn't working.

Lordy......I'm going to lose myself in this game aren't I?

Got the UI mod working....had to install Skyrim Script Extender

Ok....thanks all.....it was nice chatting with you. I'm going to disappear for like 6 months....BYE O0

This -- I played and finished it on a PS3, which couldn't even accept mods.

I don't usually play games that long, so racking up around 250 hours was a lot for me. Note that starting a Skyrim thread will take away your time from playing the game. >:D

Told you we wouldn't see acctingman again if we got him hooked onto this game. Now, if only I could do this with the In-Laws. ::) BTW Acctingman, if you're still there, forgot to mention that you can become a Werewolf and a Vampire Lord in this game too. Just in case you needed a little Meth to go with your Crack. :P

Well, free to me so no risk:)

I've seen several Grogs playing it on my little Steam alert windows this week. I'm more likely to try to get back into Witcher 1 myself sometime soon -- I've never gotten far in that game and the whole series is great, and I beat Skyrim a long time ago. Still, I'm naturally curious: I loved the game.
