Re: Skyrim; Dragon Language Translation Thread

Hello all

I am not stopping (too busy), I just dropped by to post this in order to help with your translations of the Dragon language.

It is a little research I have done for a future skyrim mod I plan to make. I started out using the various online translations, including the one on this site ...

Re: Mods by our members

Try the Cyrodiil Upgrade Overhaul, it unlevels things and makes the game more of a challenge, there should be a link in one of my posts above.

CUO does a lot more than most overhauls too, so be sure to read the docs so you know what it does.

Without more information I have to guess here so here I go.

If you stick to Beths official mod system then that would have worked fine, so I guess you use tools and stuff to by pass beths official system and avoid the safety measures put in place to prevent problems like this.

Re: PC specs for skyrim?

Also, DirextX 9 is almost 'old' now that we have DirectX 11 :|.



IIRC it was mentioned in one of Todd's interviews that DX11 won't be required, but if you have a DX11 card you will be able to take advantage of some DX11 optimization features implemented in Skyrim.

Re: How do I back up my custom Oblivion? Need Help!

When using mods correctly all you should need to do is back up the data folder.

But I am aware some interface mods edit the ini files too so you have to back those up from My Documents or where they are, you saves should be in the same folder somewhere and you need those anyway.

So this news comes from gametrailers only, not Beth or an official source then ?

Re: Erratic controls in certain indoor areas

In that case I would look towards corrupt install files, mostly faulty bsa files or a fragged hard drive causing delays in loading times for specific data.

PS Just a quick reminder this is the mod forum mate, if you post here everybody is going to believe your using mods.

I play both male and female characters.

Re: How to raise damage from creatures AND weapons?

haecceitas is right about the global settings.

Some mods do change them and it is also true that only 1 mod can edit an item at a time. So if haecceitas makes the edit, he will not be able to user other mods that edit the same thing.

But that is his choice to make, still it is wise to make such a ...

Re: Skyrim Rating

The original oblivion release was only a 15, they threatened to up it to 18 because of the body mods. The GOTY is still only an 15. So I guess skyrim will be roughly the same content wise.

But your fighting the game engine there.
