Hey I'm still working on it.

This game is technically very hard to play without mods...

I've never played past naming your character as the eons-long wagon ride ticked me off. Honest question!

It's super-buggy, the plot quest fuck up when you buy property or one of the NPCs kills one of the other NPCs. You're clearly a speed-run king! That's actually how I beat Oblivion.
 
The game is still buggy without mods? I never used any mods even back when it first came out. It was pretty sloppy at the time, although I'd consider it polished AF for a Bethesda game. I was able to circumvent most major issues by keeping a backlog of saves and checking the Steam forums for homegrown solutions.

No, both SE and AE play fine without mods.

The most memorable part of that movie is when that bald guy with an axe jumps off a cliff at the dragon and it just opens it's mouth and eats him.

I killed Alduin naked with 100 HP on master difficulty. It took 2 tries though. The first try I actually killed him but one of the meteorites hit me a few seconds later and I died.
 
Went back to riverwood for the first time in a while, noticed everything was all brown... The plants are changing with the seasons.
:eek::eek::eek:

Using phoenix flavor dragon edition so I don't exactly know what mods are installed. Everything is a surprise.

I am learning today that many people were not aware Skyrim already had paid mods.

Steam added paid mods, but there was a massive uproar and Gabe eventually backed down and said something the equivalent of "gamers don't know what's good for them". That basically ended all the GabeN worship memes.

The Creation Club paid mods launched pretty late. There were so many free mods on Nexus and other sites by then and most of which were better than any of the paid. Barely anyone cared about them.

Yeah I meant to say there are a lot of people who know about the first attempt on Steam, but not the CC.

My favorite comment is "paid mods will never work" when the AE is literally a paid mod bundle.
 
Here I am, still playing modded Skyrim with the last patch pre-AE lol

- I'm sure the unofficial patch has been updated quite a few times since then but after sooooo many years of fixes, I'm not worried about.. Plus, I've got the game modded just the way I likes it
 
After Google AI had wasted days of my time I finally got Skyrimnet configured a couple of days ago, and I'm really impressed by the results. Skyrimnet is an AI framework for those who don't know, connecting all the NPC's to various LLM and also to text to voice and voice to text, so you can now speak to every NPC and actually get intelling answers instead of just random waffling about taking arrows to the knee.

I tested it by doing different things, like asking Lydia what she knew about lore things like Sheogorath and she told me to be careful with him and Daedra's in general, so the use of an LLM trained on lore does a lot for the immersion.

After a brutal fight against the Pale Lady I gave her the Pale Blade and asked her to describe it, and she said it "felt strangely cold in her hand" (it does cold damage) and that she as a Nord preferred regular steel.
But then one of my summoned Dremora Champions butted in and told some history of the blade, which Lydia then commented on. Very impressive.

Another test was asking both of my followers, Lydia and Anum-La, what their favourite battle memory was. They were standing right in front of me, and it will always take like 5 seconds to get all the parts processed and get a reply (pending on the HW and network), but suddenly they looked at each other and Anum-La then told her favourite story and Lydia hers when Anum-La had finished.

Both stories were actual events from before I had installed Skyrimnet, and both were different stories.

I'm not that big on the actual role playing in RPG's, I like them for different reasons, but this has impressed me so much that really have to recommend that you try it out!
It's really fun just to see how "aware" the NPC's are about the world and how they chat with each other and makes the world come alive. At least AI is good for some things.

I'm still working on bedding Lydia though, she doesn't seem to care that much for me so far. 😒
