Skyrim PC fun!

Post » Sat May 10, 2014 12:28 am

Finally, I'm able to play Skyrim on a PC :P I was using the PS3 first, so now I want to know what I can with the PC version that I can't with the PS3 version. I've already spawned Alduin in The Bleak Falls Temple, went 'Elsweyr', got myself a new UI... That's all I did xD

I'm now rushing through the main quest till I get to Mirmulnir with my Dunmer Destruction/Dual wielder.

So please... Tell me the nice things a PC user gets :P Or what mods you enjoy the most.

Favorite mods vary from person to person. My favs are in my sig. Just be careful to read the mod author's page before installing a mod to avoid conflicts. ENB's are nice also to boost your graphics if your PC can handle them.

Enjoy! Skyrim on PC is amazing.

Thank you! Don't worry about me, I know how to install mods as good as I know the back of my hand :P And I see a lot mods use BSA files for Skyrim. Wayy better than all the chaotic soup of files we had in Oblivion. Makes things easier to unistall :D I've downloaded all the mods you suggested, but I ignored the graphic mods. My PC can't handle that :sad:

Some of those mods in my sig require SKSE/SkyUi in order to have access to the MCM so you can configure them. OBIS, Hunterborn, Immersive Armor, Frostfall.

Well, there's a lot of mods to choose from. Start from the unofficial patches for skyrim, dawnguard, hearthfire, dragonborn and the unofficial HR DLC patch if you use it.

Beyond that, you name it, it's out there, as long as you read about what it's in/compatible with.

indeed what mods you want is your choice but the SKSE and the SKUI are basicly mandatory these days if you want mods

they are pretty easy to install and the skui , which changes the player interface into something more userfriendly , and giving you a easier time selecting things from your inventoery and i am not going to spoil how much better the favorite menu

but the mods you like is personal choice , one other advice is to have a look at the nexus site and watch their tuttorial on how to mod your game , i

About the mods: Is there any monster overhaul like Oblivion's MMM? And I'm having a hard time to survive Skyre. Everything outside seems to 2-3 shot KO me. But everything inside(interiors) is so much easier. Lydia transformed into a stronger tank than she was in vanilla?

And are there any more hidden cells like Elsweyr? :P Something like Testinghall of Oblivion?

What can you do now with the PC version?

For starters, you can now talk about the mods you are using on these forums :tongue:

Plus you have a greater variety of mods you can use and you have console commands.

There is really nothing you can't do. I suggest the unofficial skyrim patch though, one of the easiet things to implement over the console verison.

I updated my rig yesterday with a shiny new high level graphics card, to make it a proper gaming rig (was only used for strategy titles, had Skyrim on Xbox originally). Downloaded Skyrim from steam, wapped on 40 mods and just sat there gob smacked. Its so stunning.

I can not believe how awesome the game looks and feels. I just wandered around for ages staring at the trees, plants, streams and mountains. Its genuinely like playing a different game.

What underrated mods did/do you guys enjoy?

I remember a lot of mods that I found for Oblivion, but hell... They only got a maximum of 40 endorsemants. Yet I see other mods that were clearly overrated.

And what are the best quest mods? :D

Some great quest mods are Undeath, Moonpath to Elsweyr, and Fight Against the Thalmor.
