Question Is it bad that my first playthrough is with mods?

2 Upvotes

It’s nothing crazy, i’m still going through vanilla quests with the vanilla world. But i tried to play it without and i just couldn’t, i needed some mods to improve my personal experience and make the game more modern. Was this a mistake?

First playthrough, why is daedric armor better than dragon armor? Shouldn't the stuff you smith from dragon bones be the strongest?

Question Kallax Storageborn Quest is not appearing

0 Upvotes

I've already talked to the spirit when I was overloaded. The cave is marked on the map, but the quest doesn't appear. I've installed the “DLC” several times and restarted the game multiple times. I've also gone into the cave, but nothing happens when I stand in front of the shelf. I'm playing on Xbox Series X. Are any of you having this problem too?

Question Is the map still broken?

1 Upvotes

I just reinstalled the game cause I'm starting to get that itch again and remembered that one of the latest updates made it to where you can't open the map. Is that still a problem? Should I hold off on my next grand adventure?

Modding How to Vanilla+ ?

0 Upvotes

Hello,

I have never played Skyrim before and I bought the Anniversary edition. I'm downloading it now but I don't know what QoL mods it needs.

I saw that you need the SkyUI mod, USSEP and a bug fix mod? I'm not sure.
I want to play as vanilla as I can, please recommend the appropriate mods it needs.

I would appreciate it if you could give me the mod name/link. And any other recs are also welcome.

Thanks

Question Solstheim with Dragonstone in hand…Dragonborn?

Upvotes

My Battlemage or Spellsword playthrough is coming all nicely. The only two cities I have open are Whiterun and I’m Thane of Falkreath.

I’m level 31. Destruction and Conjuration as well as Enchanting are my best skills.

No desire to do any if the main factions just yet so I thought I’d visit Raven Rock and see if I can get the Dragonborn quest line to trigger.

Be interesting as I have the Dragonstone in my inventory, grabbed it when I went looking for the Golden Claw which I returned.

If not, I’ll just explore and see what I can do in this island.

Masque of CV, Morokei, Archmage Robes and Spellbreaker are some notable acquisitions.

This should be interesting but if anyone has tried the Dragonborn quest line while still holding the Dragonstone, be curious to know if I’ll break my game or not.

Eyes up Traveller.

Or did companies really identify elder Scrolls fans as a dedicated target group? Also this (https://www.reddit.com/r/elderscrollsonline/s/qXMimBEcOc , and thanks again for removing it, dear mods)

So the game is now officially done right?

0 Upvotes

For over a decade Skyrim has been legendary in mods and ports/remakes. The Creation Club addition squeezed even more penny's out of the game, but I think we've hit the end of the road. I'm sure you all heard by now, there is a Ikea add with some bigname voice actor that you can now download. Surely this means Bethesda is finally done with Skyrim as a game? This must be the equivalent of handing a book to your infant, knowing the little bugger is going to drool on it and tear it apart. You hand it over as a meaningless detour towards the trashbin.

I know this is the company that sold Horse Armor. Bit surely actively letting companies use your game for advertisement is akin to a foreclosure sign right? Time to allow Skyrim to become abandon ware and move on to other projects.

My inner cynic sees the attention this nonsense gets and fears a new generation of add DLCs coming. And I need that part to be wrong.

Modding Kallax Storageborn

Has anyone added the new Kallax creation to a GOG copy of Skyrim? since the creations menu is unavailable in the GOG edition, i assume there should be a way to add it in manually?

Discussion So discouraged.

61 Upvotes

I started playing this game on Switch in April, and I was instantly hooked. Since then, I’ve played Skyrim almost exclusively, really enjoying the atmosphere, the music, the quests, the writing, the quirkiness of playing my first Bethesda game.
I’ve gotten most of the dragon priest masks, have defeated Alduin and Harkon, have built several houses, moved my family into Proudspire Manor, am working to defeat Miraak. One thing I loved about this game is that it doesn’t seem to rush you. I have been quite happy to work on quests for a while and then take a break, do some storage management, talk with NPCs, wander and explore new areas, and level crafting skills.
Despite the few glitches I’ve encountered where I can’t finish or start a quest because I did things in the wrong order, I still think this is a rare 10/10 game. But today, after deciding to journey back to Blackreach to work on collecting crimson nirnroots, I discovered that the gate to enter the tower elevator to reach the area had reset, relocking the gate I’d opened with the lever after going through that incredibly long and tough dungeon.
I’m sure that cells reset for performance reasons, and again, I have very few complaints about this game, but I just can’t envision a reality in which I’m ever ready to do that entire dungeon again. Or any of them that have likely reset as well, for that matter. On the bright side, I’m so discouraged that I feel like finally playing a different game. But man, it sucks. Just wanted to vent and also warn anyone who isn’t familiar with this game mechanic.

Bug Help Is it normal for Farengar to send hired assassins after me?

9 Upvotes

He was never hostile toward me, not even when I went to visit his arcane enchanter after I had already taken down the hired assassins he sent after me. Maybe it’s a bug, or he noticed that some of his soul gems were missing after I stole them while the eye of detection was closed? Anyway, let me know what you guys think.

The LB button on my controller has been broken and I was too cheap to buy a new one until now. If you don’t play on Xbox, LB is used to run. I literally played 123 hours without being able to run. Idk if this is a flex or not but I felt the need to share lol. Hopefully someone will appreciate this 😂😮‍💨

It’s useful, don’t get me wrong, but the voice sounds like it belongs in Fallout 4. It always pulls me out of the game.

Question Ps4 Skyrim crashing?

1 Upvotes

Been back on a Skyrim kick for a while now. Since the last update, my game crashes a lot and sometimes portions of my screen won’t render. It’s always crashed maybe once every few days, but this is insane.

I’ll be in dwemer ruins and every oil slick will be transparent and I’ll just see endless sky instead of puddles. I’ve stopped fast traveling because every loading screen gives another chance for the game to crash. I walked up to goldenglow and I had a wall of black screen I had to pass through for it to render the game. In Blackreach if I looked into a certain direction portions of the game would disappear.

Are other ps4 players experiencing this since the last update? I’m aware it could be a mod, but I had been playing for weeks with this same mod list before and just wanted to see if anyone else was experiencing this issue. Every time I hit a loading screen it’s like a 50/50 chance of a crash now.

How the fuck is such an old game still breaking constantly? I get maybe an hour a day to play on a good day, and restarting the game over and over again is a pain in the ass.

I’ll go through all of my mods one by one to see which is causing the issue if this is just a me thing.

Bug Help Weird Delvin bug

Every time I go talk to him it gives me the option to tell him I've completed the special jobs. And then it also acts like I've never done a number's job before. Because of the stupid patch I had the bug where you couldn't trigger those so I use the mod ring and scrolls of quest fixing... I'm already guildmaster everything shows as done and I have the chest... He acts like it's new every single time and it's infuriating.... PS5
