Re: Your Skyrim Character(s)

Recently started a new playthrough (my fourth so far), it's my first attempt at a full (squishy) mage build, specialising in conjuration. I've done a spellsword before, but this is the first time I do a dedicated mage, so it's been a real challenge.

Re: How many followers is too many?

Indeed, I agree about gameplay-wise one to two followers max is the best, and going it solo ultimately gives you better control (especially for stealth characters).

Still, for my playthroughs I largely let gameplay take a backseat to immersion and roleplay, so I often try things that may not be the ...

Re: Skyrim Moments You Just Have to Share!

Did Azura's quest, and in one of the final rooms several necromancers attacked. Dispatched them fairly easily and the last one got a rather nice decapitation killcam.

After the battle, I walked around the room looking for any good loot before continuing and saw a table behind me, with a bowl on it ...

How many followers is too many?

So I'm done with all the main quests, and now I've decided to spice things up by doing a "lots-of-followers" roleplay with my character. I downloaded the Amazing Follower Tweaks mod which lets you have up to 15 followers or so and built up a nice little team. So far I have Uthgerd the Unbroken ...

Re: Staying out of the Civil War

For my (so far only) character, a Nord, I had all intention of staying neutral forever and so put off the Civil War quest for a very long time. I at first leaned ever-so-slightly to the Stormcloak side, until I was convinced that the Empire was the best choice.

I still thought long and hard about ...

Here's my character, Tyyra Bloodsparkle (long story about her name, haha). I'm playing her as a full roleplay, though I'm still fleshing out her backstory.

Name: Tyyra Bloodsparkle
Race: Nord
Birthplace: Unknown, Skyrim (raised in Bruma, Cyrodiil)
Sex: Female

Re: Very strange lag.

Thanks for the replies!

I have a feeling it might be the shadows as you both described. I at first thought it was fire effects since it happens often in their vicinity, but discarded that when some fires ran fine and the lag appeared in areas without fireplaces. I will try to tweak the shadows a ...

Very strange lag.

I don't know if this is something that can be helped, but I'm asking anyway just in case.

This has been happening for a while now, probably since I got the game. It seems to be worsening a bit recently though.

My game runs rather smoothly on high settings. Not perfect, but very playable, and I can ...

Re: I have never...

I have only ever played on the same character so I have many "I never's".

- I've never joined the Dark Brotherhood. As cool as I think the DB questline is, it simply wouldn't fit my character at all (joining the Thieves' Guild was already a stretch as it is).
- I've never put any perks in alchemy ...

Re: What's Yours weirdest NPC conversation?

It's not the weirdest I've seen, but the legionaries' idle dialogue is always funny to me. They have such a small amount of lines so they spend all day asking each other why they joined the Legion, and each of them has the exact same story.

Speaking of legionaries' dialogue, I get a laugh when the ...

Re: Post funny, stupid or weird glitches that's happened to

This isn't a Skyrim glitch, per se, but it did make me giggle.

I was walking on the main road to Riften, in a forested area, when I see a vampire being chased by a Vigilant of Stendarr. Interested, I follow them. Eventually the Vigilant drops the chase, but the vampire kept running, so I ran after ...

Re: Your Coolest 'travel party'?

For most of my current playthrough, my Dovahkiin has been solo (except in cases where a follower was forced for a quest), but now with both main quests done as well as the DLC's done, I found things were getting a bit dull so I'm now experimenting with a team. I got AFT and I'm building an epic ...

Re: Welcomes and Goodbyes

Hey, hey, hey. Noob on board.

Just joined up, looking for a good community to talk about TES and conduct long, impassioned debates on the most insignificant details of lore. :)

Truthfully though, I'm a bit shy, so you might not see a lot of me at first, which I hope to change in due course~
