» Sun Nov 10, 2013 6:34 pm Hi all,
I'm starting up Skyrim again after a 1.5 year hiatus and just started a new game. I have ~100 or so mods that I put together last night and managed to play for a few but have a few questions I was hoping to get some insight to:
- I can't remember if I ran SkyRe or Requiem last I played, but overall initial game seems rather easy. I took out the first bandit cave with ease barely getting to 75% health, and my health regenerated very quickly when out of combat. Does SkyRe disable that? Is there a way to to disable or severely limit health regen? I remember getting my ass kicked left and right in the early game so it was likely Requiem that I played. I am also using Duel Combat too for the first time and have to say it is AMAZING!
- I am getting a few errors when I load up the game (categorized favorites giving me an error but still working, better sorting not working) - better sorting I think I am missing a compatibility patch or installed it incorrectly, but will check it out again.
- Quest markers are annoying and all over the place. I forgot how to remove them but Googled and realized I need to edit the ini file. Is there a mod that changes journal entries to make quest entries more descriptive as to where I need to go a la Morrowind? I prefer to follow directions than have everything laid out for me.
- This seems like a conflict - the Iron Bow I found in the tutorial dungeon does 47 damage, while a different bow I looted from a bandit (sharpstring bow? something like that) does 13 damage. Is this normal? I sold it before testing it out so it may fire faster and balance out, but is this a weapon balance conflict?
- The dirty edits in the below list; how critical is this? From what I read not so much but want to be sure.
- An important question - I downloaded and activated everything via NMM; does it matter in which order I activated each mod? I didn't do it in any particular order and didn't encounter too many requests for overwrites aside form patched, compatibility which seems OK.
Basically I am looking for the game to be more difficult - after stopping for the night I realized I was only playing on Adept, but I prefer battles to be short and brutal - I love the perk system in SkyRe, but want to make the game more difficult. Any advice would be appreciated.
Attached is my current mod list. If anyone has any must-have recommendations I'd be happy to hear!
