Just bought pic related, never played any of the ES games before and mostly just want to add fun/lewd mods to it. Should I play the game without mods first to actually experience it or just start with fucking around?Aside from that, what are the best mods (You)'d recommend?
>>740171951Play vanilla first on expert or master difficulty
Just start fucking around immediately, the base game is not very good. The definition of openworld slop
may I ask what the point of posting a screenshot of your steam was if you were so concerned with censoring everything? at some point it surely occured to you "wait I could just image search skyrim and that's way faster"
Think MasterStroke on wabba is up now for lewd mods
>>740171951Vanilla first
The game is plenty fun without mods and the current version of special edition is stable enough that you probably won't encounter a crash during normal play.If you're using keyboard and mouse, I recommend adding SkyUI though. The vanilla UI is designed to show off 3D models and be controller-friendly (which it really fails at anyway) rather than be useful and efficient. You'll need the Skyrim Script Extender for that, as well as most other mods. Other than that, I would wait until you play some and figure out what you'd like to change about the game. Some people like adding survival mods, more spells, or going all out with combat animation overhauls and shit like that to make it feel more like Dark Souls or whatever. I don't really feel like most of those are "necessary" though.
>>740172096To show that I just bought it and it's in my steam library.Editing photos really isn't that difficult and frankly I didn't put as much thought into it as you did.>>740172049>>740172451Kk, I'll start with vanilla.>>740172246Ty anon.
>>740171951You should refund it and play a better RPG instead.
>>740172561Now that you mention it, I would recommend playing with a controller. I disliked playing on PC with a keyboard and mouse. I don't know if you get controller rumble on PC though.
Just get those mods that make it so the game doesn't crash
>>740171951>Should I play the game without mods first to actually experience itYou bought the wrong version for that.
>>740172615>To show that I just bought it and it's in my steam library.what purpose does that serve
>>740171951You can find the master sword in the forests of the rift but it's a secret.
>>740172872Does the special edition really change the game that much?Game is still well within the refund date so I could just grab the OG if that's the case.
>>740172920to flex on the broke boys that haven't boughted skyrim 20 times obviously
>>740172943There's a bunch of mods that only work on the original game
>>740172920Because when I wrote the OP I mentioned that I just bought it and that I have never played any of the games in the series so I attached a relevant image to that. Go look, it says that in the OP I promise.
>>740173198were you that concerned people would not believe you
>>740172943To be honest you're probably fine, it's mostly Vanilla with some mediocre mods already applied. I think they've added better mod support as well although I never had any issues with Oldrim to begin with. Buying Oldrim directly on Steam with DLC probably costs about $50.I just wanted to boast about me never buying the same game multiple times like a retard.If you've never played the game before you're fine.
>/v/ falls for the "it's totally the best game ever with mods bro" prank for the 11,111th timehave fun watching 3d models noclip into each other, anon
>>740171951>Should I play the game without mods first to actually experience itNo absolutely not, this game was only worth experiencing vanilla in its own time. You missed the boat on that, so you may as well just mod the shit out of it.
>>740173281To be fair, it's a valid concern because there's seemingly a specific autist for every small detail you could ever think of on this board.
>>740172943Play special edition, but modify the game to REMOVE mods from it. Basically they shoehorned some retarded creators club dumb shit that sticks out like a sore thumb.
>>740173881Does SE have the official mods? I thought only Anniversary Edition had them..
>>740173654actually the OP's image choice made him look (at a glance) like this autist who constantly posts the steam page of a game with his achievements laid out. he always censors the playime under the banner but not next to the "will you review this game" texthttps://arch.b4k.dev/v/search/image/w3PQ4v3TiM-hqgUW_5ob6g/this board is fucking fucked mate, big time. once you start noticing the thread spammers you don't stop
The unofficial patch so you don't crash every 5 seconds is basically all you need for a first playthrough
>>740171951disable any of the anniversary edition stuff, it's awful. I was skeptical of what others were saying about them but really they are absolute shit. Not even voiced.
>>740174229well, last time i tried to play special edition, it came with all that shit
>>740175406the sad part is that theres a few minor good things about them that deserved being in vanilla, like some custom weapon models for some otherwise generic named weapons. But its pooled with so much slop
>>740171951You probably need vanilla knowledge to know what you are doing when modding shit, but be aware its an utterly mediocre experience
>>740171951Get unofficial patch and nothing else for at least one playthrough, note that there's 80% chance of you becoming a stealth archer
>>740172049i love turning all my weapons into wiffle bats and inflated health!
>>740171951Play Fight Knight instead
>>740171951>Just bought pic related, never played any of the ES games before and mostly just want to add fun/lewd mods to it. Should I play the game without mods first to actually experience it or just start with fucking around?Play a few hours, maybe get to level 10Try everything you intend to modI say this because of a few nuances >Spells always feel disconnected from everything else>You won't know what you're overhauling if you just start downloading a bunch of bullshit that claims to "fix" stuff>You won't appreciate what you're "fixing" if you don't know how it is by defaultTry the "tesgeneral" website to avoid some pitfallsAlso I'd argue the GoG version has its own set of problems as far as modding support gors.Also also definitely use mod organizer 2 as it's easier to iterate and "simulate" dropping and subbing out mods from MO2
>>740172561the current version of special edition is stable enough that you probably won't encounter a crash during normal play.Most mods + OG Skyrim crashed due to the 32bit limitationsSo much shit can break or cause problems and not break simply because of memory limitsI'm making the same mistakes with the same mods I used in OG, but the 64bit makes most of the difference
>>740173281Apparently so?Dunno what to tell you mate lol.
>>740172246>450gbPeople who make modlists like this should be shot
>>740171951>Special edition>Without modsLmaoAnyway, a reminder:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xoer2MCSrzc
They fucked around and were deported at least it's not the ones who bit into it in the dungeon dimension. Shazams 11x2/1 ># moms.Congrats aussie you're a russian citizens brazialian friend now what's for lunch today? The frgo btw just seems depressed not trheaningt.>>Stocking Anarchy: pwrlvl????>>740177413>>>740177117
>>740175714Absolutely do not get the unofficial patch. The creator is a schizo who makes unrelated changes and intentionally breaks other mods. You can look up Arthmoor if you want to learn more.
>>740178704>don't get fixes because internet dramaRetarded
