Skyrim Next-Gen Remaster (Nov 2021)

[Cerys]

My character is currently prancing about wearing Dark Seducer armour and wielding a bow that she looted from a naughty assassin who was after the Jarl of Whiterun.  Life is good.

Edit - argh!  Pink!

[king_tubby]

Please tell me the good mods as I am on my second run through and the only mod I have installed is the annoying valley girl who is good at mopping up cannon fodder one.

[Cerys]

I'm loving the random courier encounters.  He's been looking for me a lot, apparently.  Lots of lovely quests.  Happy times.

[Ferris]

Not had time to play this, worked literally every evening since release date (actually a few weeks before).

Can't wait to fucking batter some dead nord cunts in a cavern.

[Cerys]

Play it!  I've got two pet ant-faced arachnoid buddies!

[Famous Mortimer]

I think I'm one of the very few who found the same repetitive dungeon crawling of Skyrim a bit boring and Oblivion is my favourite.

I love the levelling system though.

I enjoyed it, but I've not really got much desire to play it again. I think it was more about the story than the mechanics? I don't know.

[king_tubby]

Considering I've been playing the original since the start of summer I'm thinking of forking out for the anniversary edition - is it worth it?

[Cerys]

Yes.  Not least because you can get a pack goat named Hilda.

[Mister Six]

Can you kick that sarcastic woman (Lydia?) out of your house now, or do you still have to sacrifice her to eldritch god's if you want her to permanently fuck the fuck off?

[Cerys]

You can just kill her - but then you always could.

[bgmnts]

Another 12gb update on my Skyrim today. Is this part of the next gen remaster? That's two in a few days.

[Mister Six]

You can just kill her - but then you always could.

Oh, maybe I needed to turn on extreme difficulty or something. I thought they just fell unconscious until whatever battle you were in ended.

[Cerys]

Just tell her to go home and then slaughter the bitch while she's stuffing her face in Breezehome.  If she isn't a follower you can kill her quite easily.

In other news, I now have a pet fox, skeever, bunny rabbit and frostbite spider.  My house is a bit crowded.

[Mister Six]

Shit, I'll remember that for next time. Thanks, Cerys, you lovely psychopath!

Can I get rid of the body after or will she just stink the place up? Should I wait till I've got the wabbajack?

[Cerys]

From what I remember, she disappears after a while and her coffin shows up in the Hall of the Dead.  On the other hand, turning her into a pet rabbit could be fun.  She is sworn to cavort as your bunny, after all.  Or something like that.

[Cerys]

YES!  YES!  Ten years I've been waiting, and finally, finally a dragon has attacked Whiterun!

The icing on the sweetroll will be if it turns out to have incinerated Nazeem.  Fingers crossed.

[bgmnts]

Another 17gb update for my Skyrim on Xbox S. What the hell is going on? I havent even played it in years.

[Egyptian Feast]

YES!  YES!  Ten years I've been waiting, and finally, finally a dragon has attacked Whiterun!

I'd love to see that. "Do you get to the Cloud District very often? Oh, what am I saying, of course you daaaarrrgghh!"

For ages I thought the Cloud District was some magical, exotic place in a far-away city. Bit disappointed when I found out he just meant 20 feet away.

Sadly, he lived.  Next time, though - next time I will be instrumental in the dragon deciding to land on his cunty, patronising  head.

[Cerys]

As it should be.

[Cerys]

For fuck's sake.  Anniversary edition, and the Arcwind Point glitch hasn't been fixed.  Bethesda, I am disappoint.

got the big bug-fix patch?

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/266

most downloaded mod, lists 3 bug fixes for Arcwind Point in the changelog:

1. The dragon at Arcwind Point was not tagged as a boss, thus the location could not be marked as cleared.
2. Word wall trigger for Arcwind Point needed to extend its radius because the 3 symbols were visible while
  approaching.
3. Getting sent to Arcwind Point will no longer cause the word wall quest to stick in the journal. The location
  marker property had not been set on the trigger.

[Cerys]

Brilliant - thanks.  I already had it, but didn't have it enabled because I am an utter fuckwit.

[Cerys]

Godsdammit, I've just been sent back there to pick up the word again, and the glitch is back.  All I can think of is to disable and re-enable the mod.  This has better bloody work or I'm going to twat you off the mountainside, Arngeir, you ineffable cunt.

[king_tubby]

I'm playing some of the expansion mods, here are my detailed reviews.

Falskaar - dull, far too empty, far too much reporting back to some cunt, NPCs you're meant to tag along with quite often don't run which makes getting to locations very tedious.

Wyrmstooth - lots better, more immersive though again prone to big empty dungeons. Some very challenging fights.

[Cerys]

I quite enjoyed Falskaar, but it did have its annoyances - mostly the ones you've mentioned.  Haven't done Wyrmstooth yet.

My idea worked.  Arngeir remains untwatted.

[king_tubby]

I've just completed the main quest.

Spoiler alert

A fucking dragon appears out of nowhere and eats the main bad guy then you're back in the pub? Fuck off!

Apparently if you play it on PC there's a cut scene which wraps things up better.
