The modding community should thank Bethesda.

danger zone they have, haven't they?

And vice versa

Hey modders, we're sorry we can't ever create something as good as RDR2. Thanks for attempting to polish our turd of a game. -Todd Howard and associates

"something as good as RDR2"

By then it will be ZZ Cup tits

lol. by then skyrim would be REAL old

Low key people will still play it in 2070

Lol

@@thesmileshow9651 it already is

Well Skyrim is a good game you really should play it

how many time i listen that :3

YES..... JOIN THE DARKSIDE

I had to stop myself from playing Skyrim because my computer has degraded and whenever I try to play for about an hour, only about 15 min. is actually in game. It's a big sad.

yes play it once more, i recently started playing it again this time with mods and am on level 25

They are basically lootboxes, only you know what you are getting. Kinda like the extra content for Assassin's Creed Origins. All of the stuff you could buy with helix credits were weapons and outfits and mounts with different skins, and the weapons that were on it were not as powerful as some of the best weapons in the game, which was disappointing to say the least. At least the dlcs were some of the best I've seen in a long time.

lootboxses ? Hell no they are nothing less than paid mods xD

Why don't they buy the mods and make them into dlcs

Or beyond skyrim.

@@pravus9769 their lootboxes, but not as scummy

I saw this in the video and immediately looked for this in the comments. Most of these mods wouldn't make my top 100

Idk, I liked most of them. I'v always been into the bigger better ones like frostfall and ordinator but everytime iv played a play through with them I always get to a point where I feel like it is just to overwhelming. I either end up spending more time tweaking settings or struggling with survival way too much that just surviving the next hour or two is all the game becomes and im too indecisive to find the right settings for me and either make them too easy or just give up altogether. Ordinator just hurts my brain, I look at it and think of all the cool "sub-classes" I could make with it but eventually I just end up spreading out all over the place eventually becoming a pseudo-jack-of-all-trades because there is just sooo much to spend points on and everything is too appealing. To put it simply, I am a simple man. I had my fun with some of them but after awhile it just got overwhelming and old to deal with. I wish he put a link for his mod list though because I want to know what graphics mods he was using and how he set some of them up. I always have such a hard time finding the right ENB's and graphics mods to combine, they never seem good enough to me but everytime I see a video of someone elses setup I'm like "That's the kind of look i'v been trying to get!" lol

@Elias Luna-Partida they get all sales. They pay the creator a flat fee and keep all sales.

....That's horrendous. So the creators don't get royalties for their content whatsoever?

Not, they sell the mod to bethesda and bethesda resell the mod to the players no royalties

I just downloaded one that made everyone look a bit less rough. No babes or anything, just gives them realistic hair and face textures. Really improves the game.

@@appascrolls Could you link it please?

@@fallout3maniac5 Sorry yeah. Natural eyes. Divine bodies. And KS hairdos lite 🖤💛

@@appascrolls Thank you very much!

@@fallout3maniac5 No problem 😊

I was just thinking the same thing!

I definitely can see that. I think it falls into the same place though that any perk overhaul falls into (except made really well, support well and compatibility patches galore) where it's just variation. Perkus Maximus, Skryim Redone, TTRSO, Perk Up, etc.. these mod's appeals are interchangeable and their merit comes from giving variety. What I value from SPERG isn't the variety.. although I acknowledge that for a lot of people just the sheer amount of variety and options wins out.

I've never had issue with SPERG it has never let me down.

There's a fusion of both iirc

I very much like ordinator, its just its overwelming with the choices there are, but i do agree that there is a lot of variety in it, and is good for role playing

And that mod would be?

Note, Elemental Dragons couples extremely well with Diverse Dragons. Try Project AHO too. It's magnificent.

I recently did the same moved from PS4 to PC, it was great. The most difficult part was sorting out space to actually put a desk etc. it wasn't comfortable for a while but now it's amazing.

Welcome to the Dark Side, we have cookies and mods, so... so many mods!

I did the same a couple of years ago. Totally worth it!!

Yea, PC will always be master race, keep that in mind 😂

I moved from xbox360 skyrim to building a pc and modding special edition... man what a difference. like a completely new game, fresh experience and i fell in love again

No. *Subjectively* Ordinator is better. It depends on the wants and needs of the person playing which mod is 'better' for their playstyle. Neither mod is 'objectively' better than the other.

More doesn't equal better. Objectivity exists yes, but subjective things outnumber it by far. Tell me this, if i want to play a character that fills up the entire perk tree and each perk gives him big boosts to his power ingame, but i install Ordinator and Ordinator doesn't allow me to do that, how is it objectively better? Objectivity applies when there is only one thing that does everything and is used better than all the others. Mods don't fall into that space. It doesn't matter how much more a mod adds or how from a persons POV its 'better' in the things it adds, if its not what a specific person is looking for, it is not objectively better, period.

1. You can still fill the perk tree. Ordinator has different versions that give you more perk points per level. It breaks the game balance and turns you into a god but there is that option. There are also uncappers as well. But Vanilla Ordinator is best if you care about balance and roleplay. 2. I didn't say Ordinator is objectively the best Perk Overhaul. I said it was the objectively better then SPERG. And it is. It does everything SPERG does and better. It takes EVERY play style and makes them viable. Play styles that required exploits to be effective are now baked in. Therefore it is objectively better.

@azerty azertu resulte is not an English word so it is unsurprising that he doesn't understand. You can't say this mod is objectively better, you just can't. That is dumb. Objective means it isn't a matter of preference. 20 bucks is objectively better than 10, that sort of thing. You can only use it with mods if one simply doesn't work and the other does. Otherwise it really is a matter of choice, and thus subjective. Yes, enjoyment. What else is there? When you say "better" that is what that means. If you are saying one is more technically impressive or offers more choices or more changes, then ok, but that doesn't make it better or worse really.

Looking at this comment thread has made me say objective and subjective way to much today.

@Owen WilsonIt´s fun trying out different play styles, but unless one specialises on one, bow and arrow are a convenient method of solving quests.

I got about 145 mods running atm :D as long as you get the correct patches you could just add these to your current playthrough

Merging plugins isn't that tough of a task, either

@@TheSteyrguy true

Your avatar is literally perfect for your comment hahaha, *beautiful*

@@voices4dayz469 Thank you, thank you.

leaving a comment so i can find this later. was about to ask the same

Everything he called out in the video is in the description. As for what else he might be using though? No idea.

I'm glad you wrote a four paragraph response to my comment and therefor wasted your time even more :D

Tony Smith lol.

I rotate through a lot.. I think most of this was with the Surreal ENB or The Truth ENB - NobleSkyrim textures and a lot of singular replacers. I actually don't use that many graphic mods

Apocalypse only adds spells, the one regarding perks would be Ordinator, and yeah it has a lot more possibilities role-playwise, but it's also true that both those mods have been talked about a lot, so a different perk overhaul mod every now and then is also nice I guess? I'd still take Ordinator tho

hm but isn't that just lazy lol, it would be handy yeah I agree but not much fun imo

The reason I don't play magic characters is because I don't find it fun to recast the skin buffs and other buffs every 5-10 real world minutes. That's not fun, that's the bad kind of tedious. I would hardly classify fixing a bad design decision as "lazy".

Personally I use Sustained Magic. You cast a spell and instead of duration it decreases your maximum magicka until you recast it. Or lose it like with invisibility. It makes it so that you don't have to recast your buff spells but also penalizes you for it.

I never could get Sustained Magic to work for me. Never could figure out why, either. I wanted to use it because I liked how it handled buffs, but for some reason, no matter where it was in the load order, or anything else, it would just never work for me. I'll have to give another shot next time I play Skyrim. Maybe it was just being moody the couple times I tried it before. lol

I would like it more if it didn’t have ungodly wait times where I’m already 2 enemies down by the time my mage armor is cast

CripTik RaZe oof

just under the video there is a picture of skyrim, just under it its written "" The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition "" .......

2011. 11/11/11.

Lol that's like asking a magician to explain his trick.

Make your own modlist.. ; )

Yes he does. In another comment he said he rotated between 'Surreal ENB' and 'The Truth ENB'. There are many nice presets out there, you just have to find the one for you. Personally it's been a long time since I have touched the game, but I believe I was using 'Natural Lighting and Atmospherics for ENB' and was very satisfied with it -- decent performance and avoids most pitfalls the other popular ENBs run into.

Appreciate the warning man, uninstalled.

Yea Diverse Dragons, convenient horses and SkyBirds. Are amongst the most bug ridden, game corrupting mods on the market atm. Holds city overhaul also can be a 50/50 mod. But if you got the first 3 labeled above, get rid of them, before you start a new play though. Because having those mods = after a month of playing and editing your mods list, youll get random CTDS or Freezing or other strange things. Best not to have any of them. Or to make a backup save before you do download them, just incase! Thank you and have a great day!

@@emperordavis3051 Thanks again man, and ofc I had those 3 installed haha..

Little Finger For a very cool dragon overhaul mod, I’d STRONGLY recommend Chaos Dragons. It’s from a Japanese author so there’s a tiny bit of engrish here and there, but otherwise, Chaos Dragon does everything DDC does and then some. It’s one of my favorite mods of all time along with Legacy Of The Dragonborn, for exemple.

I burned my video card with this mod :) bought a new one scraped the mod !

>Ordinator does not really improve anything. really? its adding new mechanics: bones+altar+skeletons, rats(conj) , highlighted citizens (thief eye), wire + bear trap+automatron hack (sneak), dwarf turret(Smithing), 5 altars, home teleport(alteration ), dream thief(illusion), restoration nuker, etc, etc maybe its less noticeable improvement for "INeedNoMagic" players, but there a lot >SPERG is the exact opposite hahah, sure its same: Blinding Bash 55 Lockpicking, Adventurous Parry Bashing opponents with a torch gives their attacks against you a 30% chance to become a glancing blow (10% damage) for 8 seconds.

Here is a list of graphics mods I consider pretty much mandatory, for the Special Edition. If you don't have special edition, just search the names of the mods in the standard game page on Nexus mods - I'm pretty sure all of these mods exist for the standard game too. I'm not sure what your experience with modding is, but just in-case you're new - you'll need to make an account on Nexus Mods, and then download Nexus Mod Manager and a program called LOOT. Install Mod Manager and download from the Nexus Site through the mod manager, and install them through there. Once you've got all your mods installed, run LOOT, and click a button near the top that looks like three horizontal lines of different lengths - this will load all your mods in the most optimal order, and also warn you if there are any errors and give you advice on how to fix them. Happy hunting! - Static Mesh Mod is almost mandatory if you want Skyrim to look good. www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/659 - Osmodius texture overhaul updates a lot of textures. www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/1782 - Enhanced Lights / FX makes the lighting way better. www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/2424 - Skyrim Flora Overhaul makes the trees and bushes denser and way more detailed. www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/2154 - Realistic Water Two does the same for water. www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/2182 - Skyrim 2017 Textures makes tons of stuff in the game way more detailed, includes 4k textures. www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/2347 - Nordic Snow makes the snow textures look way better. www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/670

Samuel Kristopher is loot on the nexus or somewhere else?

I'm just curious why you think that considering it's one of the best selling games of the last decade plus?

Im with him on this. It is one of the best selling games BECAUSE of the modding. You can basically do ANYTHING with this game without big problems. Hell, Skyrim can look even BETTER than games from 2018 no problem! Find another game you can do that with (And a game that has an activ modding com like skyrim. Bet you wont find many if any.)

I disagree the game was average, but I do agree that mods are the primary reason it has survived for so long.

I genuinely cannot comprehend how people invest hundreds of hours into it unmodded.

*Dire Thunders your Waifu Ikr when I first played vanilla I thought the game looked ugly and was boring, found mods and here I am many years later still modding the game is honestly timeless

It's not impossible, thats why you still can cause damage with a sword, but... a blunt weapon is a way more effective and thats why you cause more damage using it

@Eric Draven ugh.. cool.. bro?..

Haha, thankfully the skyrim modding community has not fucked up that much... yet.

Yeah true

It's not about the specific instances of undead/dwemer being immune to x and more that the immunities and resistances are tied to the trait word system. Which have a weird form of progress that you can actually penetrate.. ie.. poison something that's poison immune if you... Know Your Enemy. Check out the nexus page if I didn't explain it well- the cool part is it's all not tied to the creature. For the sword vs skeletons.. in a fantasy game you can justify almost anything any way.. the point is that it exaggerates traditional RPG tropes.

dude Fevir you said and you meant in your video when you were talking about the know your enemies mod that in vanilla skyrim skeletons and dwemer automatons can take damage from poisons and i told you that they cannot take damage from poisons and then you said that swords should not be effective against skeletons and i told that they can be cause they have strength and force and upgrading and enchantments and that this mod makes these changes for the better and i told you that you these things are already in skyrim and the swords vs skeletons are just fine.

Yeah it's like hitting the skeleton with a solid metal rod exept it's sharp.

I think you are a bit too critical here, while Fevir did indeed mentioned about the poison thing I don't think he intended to criticize the vanilla skyrim, but rather he want to provide an alternative in the form of Know Your Enemy mod. What the mod provide is diversity, diversity in the form of how you approach the enemies and how it forces you to always be on your toe to spice things up for people who have been playing through the vanilla game again and again. Fevir did an excellent job in condensing huge amount of information into a a short time frame that is easy to understand, cut him a little slack and appreciate him a little man.

Requiem is the greatest thing ever.
