» Sat Jan 24, 2015 1:17 pm I added my list of mods as a reference for what I was doing before. I kept having horrible crashing and a fair number of glitches so I have decided to start over from the beginning...
I guess my real aim here is for realism while still allowing the game to be playable. I remember a mod from why back in Morrowind that was for crafting, it was so detailed that I found it unusable because of just how much work you were required to do...
As far as the mods themselves are concerned im thinking that function is really the only thing I should pay attention to. I have tried using mods for graphics and such but they seem to pull more resources than I have for them so in the end I need to pay attention purely to getting the right content and behavior rather than making it look pretty...
I like the Concept of Requiem adding realistic carry weight and altering the way all the skills function. The realistic impact of low health and stamina, gold weight arrow weight, on and on. There were a few problems I had that made the game unplayable. All of the enemies were fixed in their difficulty which was a plus when you really think about it, but the problem was that creatures like drouger (in crypts) were so powerful that they could not be killed, at least not by my archer characters. I would hope that these issues would have been fixed in recent updates since I have been gone for a while, but if not I would hope that someone in the community might have a solution.
Im talking about Requiem so much because its an overhaul project so it takes priority over everything else.
Another huge problem I found with requiem was that the skill and health/stamina penalties did not affect NPCs only the player... That makes a serious problem because I run out of stamina and need to move slowly, they swing and swing and never seem to get tired, same thing with the slow bow string pull at low levels, I have to disable certain realistic features in order to make the game playable. I would like to use all such features but they would need to apply to all NPCs and creatures as well to make the game not as punishing to the player for not being perfect.
Frostfall, Hunterborn, RN&D, and I think there was another that really added realism to the game. The one problem I found though is that alcohol should not hydrate, it in fact dehydrates the body making it a negative if you wanted something to help thirst. Also I found that the effects offered by drinks were pretty worthless, in Morrowind each drink had its own effect and some effects were stronger than others depending on with kind it was.
I remember looking at these wildlife mods that added the fight or flight behavior but I found that the plains were wildly over populated and made hunting feel trivial and really took the fun out of the experience.
I guess what im getting at is that I dont really know what im doing with all this stuff, and if someone could help me make sense of all these mods, or just give me some advice/preference on mods they like for realism and such I would really appreciate anything that anyone would have to offer.
