retired aimers

[marble citrus]

I like 1 the most simply cause I don't think they'd be having a mini forest in their city

And that's like really fucking odd

[marsh sedge]

yeah, i think for the non-walled cities/towns the trees make sense

like falkreath

or riverwood, etc.

[marble citrus]

If you had to do trees in the city 2 definitely looks better than 3

[marsh sedge]

how about riverwood (same mod)

i downloaded the mod mainly for riverwood

just testing other cities rn

[marble citrus]

I mean, it makes more sense at least

Only real gripe with it is the huge tree in the middle of the road

[marsh sedge]

for sure i agree

[marble citrus]

But honestly

I can deal with that

a lot lot more than the whiterun thing

so it's basically non-important

adds more flavor ig

[marsh sedge]

yeah i like mods that add trees, but so many overdo it

[cloud geyser]

2

Does that white run mod make it bigger?

[marble citrus]

I'd say 2 looks the most appropriate for a city

Would personally be fine putting whatever #2 is into my load order

[marsh sedge]

i just have JK's Whiterun, no other addition to the city

[marble citrus]

King

[marsh sedge]

theres the captial expansion mod, but im iffy on it

[marble citrus]

'did you download all the interior jk mods

[marsh sedge]

brother i have all of them

LMAO

[cloud geyser]

Cool

[marble citrus]

I would but like

I just don't wanna download them

one by one

[marsh sedge]

thats not even all

theres 74

[marble citrus]

That's what I mean

[marble citrus]

that's so many to download smh

[marsh sedge]

its a lot but i defend his reasoning

if he made an AIO mod

it would break every patch

so

[marble citrus]

fair

[marsh sedge]

and theres so many patches

with Lux n shit

[marble citrus]

I've thought about doing this with my list but then I remembered it's built upon the nordic souls list

so if I fuck with the load order in a way the breaks something

It'd be kinda pain

[marsh sedge]

yeah idk how those pre-made lists come out

or like tweaking them

[marble citrus]

They're just basically pre categorized like that

[marsh sedge]

thats why i made my own obviously, just felt better

[marble citrus]

It'd be fine

long as I knew which mods needed to go where

In each category

but I'm still a noob

so I ain't going to test the waters like that lmao

[marsh sedge]

how many are there again for nordic

i also have all of these location mods...

thats not even all

[marsh sedge]

are you a fan of the smaller/vanilla city ones or the expansion mods?

[marble citrus]

How many mods do you have currently jesus

And how big is it in total

[cloud geyser]

I prefer the expansion mods but I don’t care all that much so vanilla is good for stability

[marsh sedge]

1100+

so far

[marble citrus]

That's honestly a lot less than I thought it'd be

How much more do you think you have to add

[marsh sedge]

thats current list

idk best way to display it

wish it showed my dividers

oh wait its this but its reversed

[waxen nacelle]

dude i thought this was kingdom come deliverance for a sec

[marsh sedge]

Is that a good thing or a bad thing

[worldly edge]

god i love skyrim

THESE LOOK SO SICK

i really like the 2nd pic tbh. looks really overgrown and pretty

[marsh sedge]

for reference: vanilla lol

not even close LOL

[worldly edge]

THATS SO SICK

dude the comparison

excited to try da mods i have to reinstall SE i think

[marsh sedge]

Theres a lot of stuff youll have to tweak cause its not just plug and play, but its hard to explain

like using external tools and editing files, etc

But i hope its easy to figure out whenever its ready lol

its potentially time again.

[worldly edge]

i luv tweaking its ok

its fun that most mods are really customisable

would love to do a full playthrough on the game looking like that

[marsh sedge]

i think what i can likely do is just upload my mods folder somewhere and have it be downloadable that way any changes ive made youll have. Rather than requiring you guys to download everything separately

but its just over 200gb so like

Lmaoo

[worldly edge]

you can compress

a zip file would be manageable...?

[marsh sedge]

theres an app called Wabbajack ill have to look into i think

Thats how all these large modlists get uploaded

Afaik

[worldly edge]

ok :D sounds good

[marsh sedge]

just gimme 7 more months of downloading mods

ill be up to 5000

[marsh sedge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwUibq6wBn4 @marble citrus @waxen nacelle @worldly edge bro this is insane also

[marble citrus]

Just wait for it to get taken down or something 💀

Cause you can't do cool shit

[marsh sedge]

i would cry

but bethesda hasnt had issues with mods usually no?

and its been in the works for years

so surely theyd have said smth

[marble citrus]

I can only remember one mod nearly taken down cause of bethesda

[marsh sedge]

yeah 2016

[marble citrus]

I don't think it'd get taken down

[marsh sedge]

8 years, if they wait until release to kill it then i have a feeling ES6 sales will be ass

people will be FURIOUS

[marble citrus]

But I can definitely believe it

that's such a bethesda move

[marsh sedge]

theyd legit be killing their own sales for a new title

[marble citrus]

I genuinely think most people are going to be buying ES6 despite it probably being pretty mid just cause of mods

[waxen nacelle]

when this comes out i wont see the light of day for months

skyrims t he only single player game ive sunk hours in since minecraft entered my life, most other games arent that interesting to me

[waxen nacelle]

elder scrolls ** ive played a lot of oblivion too

[marsh sedge]

ive never played oblivion i know i should but i couldnt get used to the gameplay after starting with skyrim, so maybe this will be perfect for me

[waxen nacelle]

oblivion is hard to get into mainly because the camera is ass in it

if u g o from skyrim to oblivion camera its literally being spoiled and i play a lot of third person outside of combat so to me that was my biggest curve

[marsh sedge]

i even tried morrowind, got to the first enemy, tried to swing, nothing happened, logged off

[waxen nacelle]

😭

[marsh sedge]

didnt realize it was dice roll LMAO

[waxen nacelle]

ive not played morrowind so i cant comment

[marsh sedge]

yeah this new modded playthrough imma do 3rd person only

should be fun

i always did 1st person skyrim

[waxen nacelle]

theres a lot of mods to make oblivion similar to skyrim if you ever decide to try it out again

[marsh sedge]

you think i should just wait for this tho? considering im doing a skyrim playthrough rn anyways

no rush

[waxen nacelle]

its just rough cause oblivion is kinda like dota (clunky, more complicated in some ways) and skyrim is like the league of legends of elder scrolls (arguably easier and more streamlined)

[waxen nacelle]

up to you man you should do what you want, i dont think itd spoil much in skyblivion for you

skyblivion is gonna be its own experience

[marsh sedge]

yeah thats true

[marsh sedge]

yeah ive never been a big RPG guy, but skyrim was the streamlined version with cool concepts and i just loved it

but ive never played any other large RPG

not really my thing

[waxen nacelle]

after playing skyrim i cant stand other rpgs anymore

i hate the idea of a linear story with a linear character progression

skyrim i can run around pretending im a demon or some shit like im 12 again bro

only other rpg i enjoy is baldurs gate

it has a similar freedom to it though but it is more linear

[marsh sedge]

yeah im more of an enjoyer of games like bioshock, and the new dooms

those types of single player

[waxen nacelle]

id prolly play doom if i owned it but not interested quite enough to buy it tbh

[marsh sedge]

theres a new one coming 2025

but i loved the 2016 and eternal

[waxen nacelle]

doom 2016 only 4 bucks

shiiiiit might have to

oh the other rpg ive sunk time into is the outer worlds

it wasnt that good imo but not bad either

[marsh sedge]

bro 4?

get it

thats an insane deal

[waxen nacelle]

wait

doom 2016 and wolfenstein 2

9 dollars

im sold

[marsh sedge]

i need to get wolfenstein, lemme check

[waxen nacelle]

im fucked

IM FUCKED

ESO is $5 and ive always wanted t o try it

god damn it why did i open the steam store

[marsh sedge]

LOL

[waxen nacelle]

well thats like $14 down the drain

np

136 GB

WHAWT THE FUCK

IM RETURNING

nah i lied imma prolly take a nap since i just got off and wake uip to this download being done

[marsh sedge]

eso?

[waxen nacelle]

ye

[marsh sedge]

damn

[waxen nacelle]

shits bigger than cod

[marsh sedge]

i played it way back for like 2 hours but not my thing

[waxen nacelle]

thats what everyones told me too basically and also that its not like skyrim but

i just have to try it

[marsh sedge]

imma just grab this

the reviews for youngblood are ass

but the other 3 are good

[waxen nacelle]

ooo solid

new order is good ive heard

[marsh sedge]

that was the initial remake afaik

basing on this

2014 onwards was bethesda

[waxen nacelle]

that would make sense

[marsh sedge]

92% 😭 theyre just saying take it

[waxen nacelle]

i got like 40 hours in that game

everytime i play i play one game and basically afk

[marsh sedge]

worth?

[waxen nacelle]

its literally 2 hours of actual playtime

[grand trail]

robbfps

[waxen nacelle]

i enjoy cyberpunk but its not something that im chomping at the bit to play, i just started it two weeks ago

[grand trail]

[waxen nacelle]

i dislike cyberpunks combat since its more fallout-esque instead of gta where i can headshot an npc and they die mfs got healthbars and shit

[waxen nacelle]

altho the more you play the less this is an issue

[marsh sedge]

fair, i think my concern is i already have a huge backlog of games so i wont be playing it anytime soon but price seems good

but i guess i can wait for next winter sale

[waxen nacelle]

its one of those games id pirate before you buy

see if you actually like it

[grand trail]

i have a huge log

[marsh sedge]

got a new ground texture. parallax goes insane

[worldly edge]

OH MY GOD

thats

so

sexy

[marsh sedge]

on god

[marble citrus]

That looks like trip haven

[marsh sedge]

speaking of tripping, i also found the best mod https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/70979

[waxen nacelle]

might have to go back to modded skyrim for another 30 hours

god damn it

[marsh sedge]

yeah my mod list keeps growing

Tackling weapons and armour rn

[waxen nacelle]

eso pretty cool so far

icl

[manic mason]

[waxen nacelle]

one thing you can do without mods is enable dldsr to downscale which would render the game at a higher res but output it to your native res to make it looks sharper

very little performance penalty

what few single player games i do play i render at 1440 on my 1080 monitor

[errant widget]

what is the next step of the operation

[cloud geyser]

I thought this too when I first played

It’s a shame what they did with it over time

[marsh sedge]

Well im about to go to an amd gpu as well

[marsh sedge]

bro i have no urge to play clicking anymore

but my energy is so bad for it

[marble citrus]

I have no urge to aim-train anymore

shits so unfun

[marsh sedge]

i mean ive basically quit

just doing S5 for a bit

[marble citrus]

inter too easy adv too hard so it's boring D:

[waxen nacelle]

4rk makes intermediate extended sheets

i think he'll do the same 4 s5

[marble citrus]

It's not the ranks, the tasks themselves

Adv isn't actually that much harder after trying it out

[waxen nacelle]

i think amd also has dsr

[split fossil]

oh ye @marsh sedge when are we running it down

[ripe peak]

I technically have the scenarios already made for it (Hard), still have to figure out how I want to do the reqs for them

[marsh sedge]

too much work

im old

[naive forum]

https://tenor.com/view/help-old-walker-gif-15751970

[errant widget]

time to get a job?

(I'm unemployed)

[marsh sedge]

yes

[marsh sedge]

Azura statue big enough you think? @cloud geyser @worldly edge @marble citrus

(i will not be using this, was just curious LOL)

[cloud geyser]

Holyyy

Lore accurate

[marble citrus]

jesus fuck

[marsh sedge]

theres 3 versions. a 1x, 2x, or 3x

thats 3x

i might go with 2x

default vs 1x vs 2x

its big but the 3x was INSANE

[marble citrus]

....

That shit is massive

[marsh sedge]

i fuck with it tho

ill have to decide

def not 3x

[marble citrus]

prob 2x

if anything

like 1x feels pussy shit

gotta do 2x

[waxen nacelle]

Need 5x I'm not feeling her voice in my head yet

[wide inlet]

[marsh sedge]

hello anima

[wide inlet]

hi king

[marsh sedge]

why despair cat at 4:06am MST

[wide inlet]

because

robb

[marsh sedge]

@marble citrus okay i think i solved my animation issue, it looks so good

[marble citrus]

huge

[marsh sedge]

theres only 1 bug rn but it seems rare and you can fix it by swapping weapons

[marble citrus]

like azura

[marsh sedge]

sometimes in combat i just freeze

and cant do anything

but opening inv and swapping seemed to fix

thankfully

but its prob just an MCO issue (the combat mod i have)

[marble citrus]

that

sounds very interesting

it's just a difficulty tweak

kill em before you freeze

superhot type shit

[marsh sedge]

yeah its prob just an animation queue issue

too many actions

also could be an issue cause im using god mod to test

who knows

but also holy fuck some of these bandit camp mods i have are insane theres like legit 12 bandits swarming me

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/65091 i have this, but maybe i can tweak it some

ah yeah it has an MCM, ill just have to fine tune it prob

[marble citrus]

It's absurd lmao

I went into one place and it felt like I was fighting a small army

[marsh sedge]

oh yeah youre still running Nordic right?

[marble citrus]

Yessir

Really balanced and fun

Feel like I'm not a god but still powerful

[marsh sedge]

i have the same base animations mods as you then, but MCO was overriding them and i had to figure it out

[marble citrus]

I'm also not abusing potions for smithing so that's prob helping

[marsh sedge]

yeah difficultly scaling has not been something I’ve considered yet, but we’ll get there

problem is i do all my testing on a lvl 1 account with no perks and like iron tools against the bandits rather than a legitimate test with leveling

what in-game difficulty are you running?

im on the Adept rn cause its 1x damage given and taken

so its fair for now

[marble citrus]

My list is using blade and blunt lemme grab their thing

currently using adept

I enabled it cause it sounds more interesting than base skyrim diff

[marsh sedge]

Okay yeah Adept seems like a good spot to start considering mods will be changing a lot

easier to leave it default

[marble citrus]

Default is playable but I found I didn't like how easy I was kill enemies of the same level

adept fixed that

I'm no longer 2-3 shotting enemies and instead can at least have a decent 4-5 move fight

[marsh sedge]

What was the “default” for you?

[marble citrus]

Difficulty?

[marsh sedge]

You said you changed from something into adept

[marble citrus]

I changed base skyrim adept to blade and blunt adept

I don't really like playing harder diff's I'll be honest

[marsh sedge]

100% same here

Difficultly is a hard thing to get right in games

[marble citrus]

I mean difficulty in skyrim is just "this harder to kill you easier to kill". There is no AI changes to make them smarter or trickier to fight. They don't get a different style of play

you just now have to be very careful and prepared

spend 90% of playtime on potions to make sure you don't die easily lmao

[marsh sedge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nJtd8AJghM

razbuten has great videos

[marsh sedge]

yeah its just: do less damage, take more damage

also ill have to look into Blade and Blunt, but i jsut dont wanna slam 100 combat mods into the same list cause itll just be patch nightmare

rn i have MCO attack/dodge/projectiles alongside Valhalla combat and a few more tweak mods

and Ordinator as my perk overhaul

this is my current list for combat related things

[marble citrus]

Unsure if you would even be able to slam it together

[marsh sedge]

prob not without some advanced xEdit knowledge which i lack

LOL

[marble citrus]

Yerp

[marsh sedge]

but even the addition of smth like that bottom NPCs use potions mod

is already insane

they jsut be popping shit

[marble citrus]

I honestly don't think I could paly with that

get an enemy close to dead

pops potion

[marsh sedge]

karstaag popping a chug jug

[marble citrus]

Alduin just starts healing to full hp

150 stage boss fight

[marsh sedge]

thats also smth i wanna look into. having certain bosses not have a level cap (or at least not one thats too low)

cause doesnt alduin have a really low cap

[marble citrus]

Do you have that one mod that makes alduin harder to fight

[marsh sedge]

like if youre WAYYY passed his level its just not even hard

[marble citrus]

or not harder but makes you have to prioritize the dragon preists

cause the more alive the more buffs he gets

[marsh sedge]

i dont, but i can look

thats my dragon section (for now)

most just add more dragons, change the look, or affect their animations

KS i think was the big gameplay one tho

[marble citrus]

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/83274 alduin

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/83458

[marsh sedge]

yeah found em

ill take a look

[marble citrus]

I don't really know how they work

[marsh sedge]

ill have to research it and see whats what

[marble citrus]

cause I'm currently too busy roleplaying as a merc from cyrodil so i haven't even progressed the main quest

[marsh sedge]

fair

whats the start mod you have? the traditional Alt Start - Live Another Life?

or diff one

with the mara statue

[marble citrus]

Mara statue yes

[marsh sedge]

kk yeah im back to that one rn after a bunch of bugs with a diff one

it was cool tho

[marble citrus]

I've tried the others

[marsh sedge]

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/50307

this one

[marble citrus]

but just felt too much

[marsh sedge]

really cool idea

[marble citrus]

I tried one of the ones that I think benn sent

[marsh sedge]

its prob #2 after LAL

but idk i just had weird menu bugs

[marble citrus]

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/18223 this one

[marsh sedge]

i think i fixed it, but im too lazy to go back

[marsh sedge]

yeah this looks interesting

im just bad at role playing LOL

[marble citrus]

I've tried it before and it's interesting but it was too much for me as a newbie

[marsh sedge]

ye

[marsh sedge]

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/26462 or you know, the goat of all mods

[marble citrus]

LMAO

Honestly how funny would of that been

[marsh sedge]

its so good LOL

[marble citrus]

you executed first

then alduin saves the wrong guy

peak

[marsh sedge]

watch the video attached in the desc

its so funny

[marble citrus]

lmao

I was hoping they somehow made it so alduin just arrived late

like right as he got beheaded

[marsh sedge]

"oh shit im late"

"well i guess i win then, huh?"

[marble citrus]

Wait

That's fire

"Oh fuck I'm late Oh.. Uhhh" eats world

[marsh sedge]

i think a comment said once you die you just wake up back on the carriage

endless loop

[marble citrus]

perfect

[marsh sedge]

its unfortunate the intro is a buggy mess for modding cause i genuinely love it and enjoy doing it for my actual playthroughs

lore-wise

ppl hate on the main quest but i really enjoy it

the early game flow is nice for me

[marble citrus]

I hope in TES:6 if the empire is still there I can just forcefully control it

[marsh sedge]

your list has Bruma, yeah?

[marble citrus]

Nope

[marsh sedge]

ah, its one i wanna get in mine. i havent done any DLC/Quest stuff yet but its prob the 1st one ill grab

[marble citrus]

I just have so much content in the main game as of right now that I haven't really bothered with the DLC stuff

It's hella cool

[marsh sedge]

yeah even the base game + dawnguard + dragonborn is so much to play

even if youve already done it

[marble citrus]

People be complaining about not enough content after 5k hours

like no duh

[marsh sedge]

thats also the problem with mods/modding sometimes. is say you just did a vanilla playthrough and got to X level and beat most of the game, THEN you wanna start modding and adding new content but oh sucks to be you most of the mods require new saves (rightfully so, theyre massive overahauls) but youre out of luck and have to re-start

so then you have to re-do the big quests even if you skip the small stuff, but skipping small stuff means you miss out on leveling and then its all out of wack. so its either modded or not, no in between

[marsh sedge]

bro dragons look fucking insane

[marsh sedge]

yeet

[cloud geyser]

That’s class

Absolutely class

[worldly edge]

YOOOO

Huge ass gpu

[errant widget]

slide👉🏻👈🏻

[marsh sedge]

just a bottom half of the benchmark kinda guy

[worldly edge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwUibq6wBn4

this is really cool

[marsh sedge]

ye was mentioning that a while back, looks insane

[cloud geyser]

It’s seriously impressive

Bethesda will probably remaster oblivion and make that slightly redundant

The only thing it would have over a proper remaster is that you can play both at the same time

[marsh sedge]

okay after some tragic incidents last night my new computer is up and running

add another PSU failure to my list of random issues im cursed with

thats 3 now

[worldly edge]

Yaayy

[naive forum]

😭

Gl man

[marsh sedge]

why is my fps worse

[naive forum]

Rebar?

Just a Hail Mary

[marsh sedge]

do i need it?

im new to amd gpu stuff

im just trying to test stuff rn

[naive forum]

Just test it

See if it’s Better performance

And lil later I’ll try to find a amd guide for you (fuck can’t find any that are good just gonna have to mess around and tweak sorry man)

[naive forum]

Also did you use DDU for clean install?

[marsh sedge]

yeah DDU

then built new pc

then installed drivers

[naive forum]

Alright then ur good in that area

[marsh sedge]

yeah its prob some weird tweaks i need to do in the amd settings

[naive forum]

Probably just have to mess around and find out really

[marsh sedge]

if not im gonna cry

[naive forum]

Alr nvm found some guides gimme a minute

https://youtu.be/HgBt9Y9aNk8?si=uHe684Bm4sIoMH5K

Sha bang

A bit old but should still be pretty up to date

Skip to 1:11

Best of luck on ur pc

[marsh sedge]

yeah was watching that

problem is (correct me if im wrong) but a lot of the features are for performance using higher than 1080p monitors. but im still only on 1080

so i dont really need any upscaling stuff

for now at least

[naive forum]

Ahhhh

Yeah I’m not sure what else I can really do

I’ll link this jaytwoxentz video

https://youtu.be/LMaCXI0179Q?si=kmwdPaqWw2lTbXjy

[marsh sedge]

only 2 things ive done so far are enable FreeSync on my monitor as well as in the amd settings, and enabled the Lag thing

also disabled the overlay

[naive forum]

Gotcha

Well try these things out and see if the performance is slightly better

[marsh sedge]

problem is im testing on skyrim rn of all games (with mods) so its not the most consistent or accurate

but it was lower than my 2080ti and thats confusing

[naive forum]

I mean it’s Skyrim ngl it’s probably not the best benchmarker

[marsh sedge]

oh for sure, but in my eyes theres no reason the performance should be any worse at the least when upgrading

if its like the same or minimal itd be understandable for such an old and modded game

[naive forum]

I got zero clue tried searching around

[naive forum]

Best I got was just save and reload or disable Vsync within the config files

[marsh sedge]

save and reload what sorry?

if you mean skyrim ive just been modding it so i dont have a main save yet. just creating new saves to test every time almost

[naive forum]

The game like save within the game and reload that saved file

[marsh sedge]

like testing mod changes, etc.

[naive forum]

Ye Skyrim

[marsh sedge]

okay so certain areas are worse but some areas are like 3x better

love it

LOL

[marsh sedge]

so i tested it in Last of Us and the performance is improved (makes total sense) but skyrim its wishy washy

but also in Valorant it felt objectively worse so not sure what to make of that

[marsh sedge]

ok after giving valorant a few more minutes it seems to have smoothed out, was having bad input lag now its okay

bro this is stressful LOL

[marsh sedge]

@cloud geyser gotta love riften huh (check fps)

(texture mods disabled cause im going schizo and testing everything rn)

[cloud geyser]

Far out that’s a massive drop

What’s wrong with riften

[analog timber]

Ay it's been a while how is everyone?

[cloud geyser]

Good hbu

[analog timber]

Im doing alright

Hows s5 going

[marsh sedge]

skyrim.

[iron bobcat]

Guess I outgrinded everyone

All the threads are inactive

[split fossil]

[iron bobcat]

Afk?

shimmy shimmy yea shimmy shimmy yea.gif

[cloud geyser]

@marsh sedge have u played morrowind?

[cloud geyser]

Damn

I had a funny follower mod to show u if u had

[cloud geyser]

u are missing out like crazy

get on

[waxen nacelle]

oblivion >>

[cloud geyser]

🤝

[analog timber]

am I the sole ESO over Morrowind enjoyer?

[marsh sedge]

im only a Skyrim enjoyer

Well im sure id like oblivion but just need to play it

[cloud geyser]

Oblivion and morrowind are somehow more jank than Skyrim but the story and quests are so much better

[marsh sedge]

story wise id like to play, but i just cannot do morrowind gameplay

i mean i only gave it 50min granted but oh well haha

[cloud geyser]

This is very valid tbh

It’s definitely dated

[marsh sedge]

morrowind in skyrim time

[worldly edge]

I looooove oblivion

Not so much morrowind

Like if there was a remaster i would play the shit out of it im sure

[marsh sedge]

i have a decent backlog of games i wanna play after this skyrim playthrough but ill def throw oblivion in there

[marsh sedge]

@cloud geyser fixed my FPS issue

dub nation

@naive forum we got em.

[cloud geyser]

lets go

what was the problem

[marsh sedge]

combination of probably a clean install and tweaking the ini settings a little more intently with some extra research

worst spot is still riften but im averaging like 60-100 anywhere else

also disabled the steam overlay (for now) which mightve bumped my fps a bit but id have to test with it on/off to be 100%

[cloud geyser]

riften still a problem huh

[cloud geyser]

elder scrolls online?

[analog timber]

Yes I like ESO more than ES series

[cloud geyser]

you might be the only one fr

[marble citrus]

For some reason it's windhelm for me

Windhelm hates me

[waxen nacelle]

crzy

what makes you prefer it

[naive forum]

Niceee

[marsh sedge]

just skyrim things

nothing i can do if it drops on vanilla like that

[analog timber]

Combat

Combat feels so nice in that game

Soloing 4 dungeons is very fun and the combat feels engaging not just cause menu eat cheese throw more spells. Its actually understanding a rotation and adapting it depending on the boss snd spell time

Class system is also nice the abilities feel good

[analog timber]

I mainly play magblade so my view is a bit skewed its the hardest in terms of rotation but not amazing at dps just good for solo play so it's very fun to me

[rich bobcat]

Your scores are incredibly balanced.

[iron bobcat]

@marsh sedge

[marsh sedge]

thats the 3rd time someone has gone all the way back up

But yes, ask @split fossil im the balanced complete aimer

[iron bobcat]

that's probably what u see when u open the thread for the first time

and I just noticed there's

[marsh sedge]

yeah probably

and yet theres 30k messages in here lol

[iron bobcat]

not enough

need more yapping

[split fossil]

i gap u now man 🗣️

u cant get this balance im too swag

[marsh sedge]

ik u do

[marsh sedge]

but im mr average consistency

[split fossil]

its nova or nothin out here

i will continue your legacy

A remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is reportedly in the works and due for release this year. https://t.co/47rl7EqNle

[marsh sedge]

If its true, will be dope. I can just play that instead

Although the charm of an original title is still compelling

for a first play through

[analog timber]

im actually bouta rage off reactive

[cloud geyser]

I hope it’s still just as janky

And knowing Bethesda who refuse to swap off their shit engine

It will be janky as fuck

[analog timber]

damn bro s5 is fucking ass

atleast tracking scens are just not good

[marsh sedge]

disagree

control is insanely good

[cloud geyser]

S5 is very good

I like

I think I’ll play oblivion tonight

Gotta beat the game and refresh my memory so I can see if the original or remake is betger

[analog timber]

okay thats valid

control is prob insane

[analog timber]

I find alot of the S4 I liked just gutted

Snake is obsurdly dull

Reactive is crazy hard but like, idk I don't feel it's boring. I feel it's just insanely hard. Not bad but damn Snake, I can't tell you how much I hate snake and can't believe they even went "Mhm this is engaging" Do something with it

Shift was really cool and felt like a run that kept you engaged....snake holy shit

I can't get masters because I can't keep my eyes open playing snake It's so boring I just dift off

idk whoever cooked up shift track knew the good shit

[grand trail]

uhm better than smoothbot s4

[analog timber]

i mean is that much of an upgrade tho

I can't argue you are wrong it's def much better than s4 and they def showed they are going to experiment every option to see what they can come up with. Just feels like we took a 2 steps forwards then just 5 back

are you saying you find snake to be engaging and feel like it holds your attention when you play it?

I cdo think the curved floor is actually really smart, wish it wasn't just a single curve and had a higher and lower side but it is actually big brain

[grand trail]

some people find those fun me personally i wouldnt touch any precise

im just saying that its much better than s4

[analog timber]

I agree I don't even wana touch them an it's usually all I do

idk I havent seen any one of my friends say they like it and none of them are bad

how is clicking, i hate clicking more than anyone but I think it's kinda cool

[marsh sedge]

[analog timber]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-mage-gun-gif-7626250810608796806

[cloud geyser]

Reactive feels harder because it’s more of an actual reactive scenario rather than predictions

[analog timber]

yea thats what I was assuming the difference was. I like it

they killed precise, just makes me sad

I am a leapstrafe, pgti and shift track enjoyer so my view on precise is kinda skewed

BRUH MY SECOND RUN OF RAW WAS A MASTERS RUN AND I ACCIDENTALLY HIT RESTART WAS 67%AC

i was les than 1 second left

yea after some runs of control I have a new fav cat

question is, how much control does control really give you, I just feel "control" is kinda subjective

[cloud geyser]

i disagree

precise is good

[marsh sedge]

only gripe with precise is no bounce tracking

PTI is only 1/3

i dont mind PTI as a scen, but just prefer bounce

as a certified ball bouncer

[naive forum]

I like the new season cause it’s new

I got nothing to say I only have 150 hours in aim training in total

[marsh sedge]

im with you on the new-ness, sometimes just feels good

its like when early on aim training id hop from benchmark to benchmark just for the variety

[naive forum]

Intersting

For me I got a bit spent grinding the benchmark so I just did the last season vdims

[marsh sedge]

plus other shit in those folders

[naive forum]

Woah

That’s a lot of benchmarks

[marsh sedge]

[naive forum]

Well if I ever get bored of the current voltaic benchmarks I’ll just try to find these

lol

[marsh sedge]

prob avoid the community ones and stick to that 1st screenshot

with revosect, aimerz, voltaic, etc.

[analog timber]

I like AL precise more

S3 PGTI with AL S3 Shift track would be a dream

or S4PGTI

[naive forum]

Gotcha

[analog timber]

having PGTI and PGT would be kinda nice ngl

don't feel there is alot of vertical tracking in this as apposed to previous seasons

[analog timber]

what makes you like precise?

[cloud geyser]

i know it was mentioned earlier but snaketrack is a lot better than smoothbot but is too easy to predict, snaketrack to me feels nicer to play. pgti is great because it incoporates parts of preciseorb and some smoothbot elements and functions really well as such

[analog timber]

Do you not find shift track better?

[cloud geyser]

the fuck is shiftrack

[marsh sedge]

ALS3

[cloud geyser]

oh

havent played it

aimlab feels yucky to use

[marsh sedge]

skyrim aimers

[cloud geyser]

I like

[marsh sedge]

gonna push some scores tonight mayhaps

[cloud geyser]

What scores we thinking

[marsh sedge]

prob go for GMC on ALS3 tonight , need like 3 after the rank changes

then i can just focus S5 after that

[cloud geyser]

oh yeah nice nice

[marsh sedge]

Also i can get 240fps on skyrim now

😎

[cloud geyser]

farrk

whats ur specs

[marsh sedge]

nah its not a specs thing, its a program called Lossless Scaling

basically its a post process frame generator

[cloud geyser]

oh yeah

that sounds cool

[marsh sedge]

Up to 4x frame gen

[cloud geyser]

ooooh my

might have to look into that

[marsh sedge]

Yeah its not the same thing as DLSS since thats built into the games as a feature and not post processing

This just generates your entire screen

Sadly including the HUD/UI

so some weird ghosting

Only downside

but the tradeoff is.. well 240fps

Lol

[cloud geyser]

oh i get u

240 is pretty nuts

[cloud geyser]

fuck me im gonna get like 20 frames playing this

[marsh sedge]

with the mods u mean? LOL

yeah i aint optimizing for other specs 😭

i havent even been adding mods ive just been troubleshooting issues for like 3 weeks

[cloud geyser]

yea yeah

[cloud geyser]

u might have enough 😭

[marsh sedge]

nah

[marsh sedge]

damn the beta app said to go fuck myself

just took my Axitrack away

[marsh sedge]

got some work to do...

[sly sparrow]

minor setback for a major comeback

[marsh sedge]

also really cringe that resetting windows just deleted all my PBs

like you can see my PB is 3209 but then all my graph scores just gone, so anything i get is a "new record!"

[marsh sedge]

holy epic awesome sauce

[cloud geyser]

Holy goat

[marsh sedge]

LMAO HOLY FUCK BRO

couldnt cut it any closer if i tried

[cloud geyser]

What’s that rank

[cloud geyser]

Goat

[marsh sedge]

how do i ALWAYS do this, 1st run bad. 2nd run get inches from the next rank, then immediately drop off

like legit every time i play aim trainers

[marble citrus]

I don't need the carry weight spell, I already have so much carry weight!
Me now walking 1000m to whiterun over encumbered

[gilded saffron]

https://tenor.com/view/yellow-dragon-nailong-gif-12614150458441672571

[waxen nacelle]

everytime i play skyrim the one cheat i do is cranking the carry weight

shit is so annoying

[marsh sedge]

Yeah its annoying but i also hate the concept of infinite space so idk

[marble citrus]

I mean

I had like 600 weight total on me so it feels pretty fair

Just the fact of me not buying that damn spell

[marsh sedge]

I just always put points into stamina anyways so im chillin

[marble citrus]

bit me in the ass

[marble citrus]

I had to pump up health cause getting 1 shot was becoming a tiny issue

Now I can at least take like 4~ hits and actually be able to win fights without abusing companions

It's hard but that's mainly cause I just don't use the combat system properly... I don't block a damn thing

[marsh sedge]

yeah i havent tweaked all the balance yet

[silent lichen]

they 're scared ong

[marsh sedge]

yeah my bad i hit up my boy aspas to hang out

[grand trail]

WHAT

YOU HIT PEOPLE?

[silent lichen]

its because he's Brazilian

[marsh sedge]

yes

[analog timber]

what you guys say i should do to improve my smoothness

I just need to get smoother and better at reactive and i def can push gm

[cloud geyser]

The e1se smoothness playlist is pretty good imo

I saw a lot of improvement after playing it a bit

[analog timber]

Thats what I was thinking of doing judt didnt know if there was many other ways. I guess i can grind e1se and tsk. My end goal is to play at a GM+ lvl om 24-27cm so i need alot more smoothness should i be doing it on the sens i want to play or much higher. I was planning on doing it from 16-20 just making sure I am thinking about it right

[cloud geyser]

That’s the only way I know

Estrogen will make your skin softer and smoother

So get on that

[analog timber]

Facts i forgot bout that gotta get more

Gotta be smooth all around to have true smoothness

[cloud geyser]

Exactly

None of this arm sleeve nonsense

[marsh sedge]

@cloud geyser @worldly edge @marble citrus we're getting there...

[cloud geyser]

Fucking hell man

What’s the size of the game now

[marsh sedge]

not much bigger than last time

[cloud geyser]

Far out man

Gonna need a whole new ssd just for this

[marsh sedge]

so yeah about the whole optimizing thing, i kinda gave up so cant promise literally ANY good performance

im just capping to 60 and using lossless scaling and using 2x frame gen

still dont know the way to upload things either, so ill see

[cloud geyser]

Yeah dw abt performance

There’s too much to do

I’ll just pray

[marsh sedge]

all good cause my game just exploded again so back to problem solving

[marble citrus]

nerd

[worldly edge]

skyrim timeeeee

[marsh sedge]

chill for me

[marsh sedge]

ok problem found, solution? remove it from my list instead of fixing it

for some reason a mod about changing the look of the nordic ships was making my Map look like it was experiencing schizophrenic hallucinations

i love modding

[cloud geyser]

Changing the ships is next level

Just give me a city overhaul and I’d never put it down

[marsh sedge]

if you saw some of the mods i had bro LOL

[cloud geyser]

cat overhaul

[marsh sedge]

there is a cat mod

but it seems like it has too many patches so i skipped it

[cloud geyser]

😭😭

Mental that was even considered

[marsh sedge]

Not considered but like when im going through the patch hub mods that consolidate a bunch of patches for a certain mod i see “house cats” a lot

[cloud geyser]

Lmao

It’s just khajiit with a collar

[marsh sedge]

300k downloads lol

[cloud geyser]

holy

big cat fans making moves

[marsh sedge]

i know theres dogs in the game but cats would feel so weird

somehow feels anti-skyrim

and im a cat person

[cloud geyser]

i lowkye agaree

already got khajiit

[marsh sedge]

Also my modlist is looking like a solid 80% done

[cloud geyser]

80%

only 80???

[marsh sedge]

Im including post-list tools like LODGen and stuff that i need to research and get working + organizing my load order in that 80%

[cloud geyser]

ashhh okay okay

[analog timber]

Considering my minecraft world takes 28gbs of ram I dont want to know what 2k mof skyrim takes

[worldly edge]

Omggggg

Want

[cloud geyser]

What the hell do you have installed for minecraft

[marsh sedge]

@cloud geyser aw dang, really wanted that one

[cloud geyser]

dammit

i wanted that too

[marsh sedge]

bro some mods genuinely baffle me

like who tf wants that in their game lol

[marble citrus]

Skyrim is a porn game

[analog timber]

Mystic monstrosity

28 gbs to run 32-36 for a essential world

[cloud geyser]

and i love it

[cloud geyser]

ill have to look into it

[analog timber]

2k mods

I think its down to 1.7k rn

[marsh sedge]

im at 1.5k mods for skyrim

they just dont stop

[marble citrus]

don't stop believen

[marsh sedge]

im so close to finishing tho

i can feel it

[grand trail]

unc

[marble citrus]

Pause

[marsh sedge]

[cloud geyser]

Holyyy

All this just to play Skyrim

[marsh sedge]

nah im not building it until im done skyrim lol

[cloud geyser]

Lmaoo

[marsh sedge]

dont want to transfer modlost

[cloud geyser]

Any risk it blowing up

Oh

[marsh sedge]

too much work

[cloud geyser]

I see

Fair enough

[marsh sedge]

and when i do build it, im bringing nothing over. Just a fresh windows install on the new nvme drive

and going to win11 cause rip 10

But basically ill just leave skyrim in the dust after this haha

i might back it all up, but prob wont use it

[naive forum]

Holy shit full amd

[marsh sedge]

well i def aint getting intel

and the gpu was just discount

[cloud geyser]

amd good

[marsh sedge]

ive changed my mind, imma install my new CPU/MOBO/RAM but just hold off on new monitor and hard drive

That way i dont have to sit with my 9800x3d doing nothing, but i also dont have to deal with migrating any files over and dealing with that hassle

Then when im done with my playthrough i can swap out drives, install win11, bing bang boom we’re fresh

and monitor only cause idk how the performance on my modlist will be on 1440p

[worldly edge]

Skyrwim💖💖💖

[marsh sedge]

holy chit bro

im getting like legit double fps in skyrim

32ish in riften to like 65

[marsh sedge]

🫸 🪨

i need 800 bro im cooked 💔

[cloud geyser]

we all believe in u bro

do it for the nords

[olive lily]

Gl

Linear al is cooked

[cloud geyser]

Elder scrolls 6 next year supposedly

Based off promises made 5ish years ago

It’s gonna be ass isn’t ut

[marsh sedge]

where u see that

but yes it most likely will be a let down

[cloud geyser]

It was on their roadmap a few years ago I think

Apparently according to some Bethesda dev we will get a reveal 6 months before release

[cloud geyser]

It’s so upsetting that such an amazing franchise is killed by its creator

[marsh sedge]

idk enough about the work environment at bethesda to say anything, but just basing how starfield was recieved i feel itll follow that trend

or even fallout 76 launch

im not one to hop on a hate train either tho, those types of people are genuinely braindead in all forms of gaming

but just tempering expectations

[cloud geyser]

The work environment might play a factor but my concern is about fallout 76 and starfield and how uninspired and empty those games are especially starfield

It’s like they’ve stopped trying to create an interesting world and story lines and just pumping out half made games because they’ll know they will sell based off the name alone

[marsh sedge]

i can see that for fallout but not starfield

unless u mean Bethesda name not the game series name

[cloud geyser]

yeha bethesda name

shouldve clarified that sorry

[marsh sedge]

yeah i also sadly dont think thats exclusive to just bethesda these days

cough cough call of duty

[cloud geyser]

not wrong

its very upsetting

save us hideo kojima

[marsh sedge]

hoping in my venture into the world of singleplayer games ill find some gems

gotta still break my mental habits

[cloud geyser]

yeah ive been loving them lately

so refreshing

any good finds?

[marsh sedge]

uhhh yeah skyrim

theres 1 my brother sent me 1s, i have it saved

he said its like a mini-bioshock vibe

and thats like both of our fav game

[cloud geyser]

whats that huge new skyrim mod pack called again

[marsh sedge]

LoreRim?

Its the one with 4k mods

Theres a ton of solid mod packs ive seen tho

[cloud geyser]

yeah lorerim

ty

im thinking its time for the yearly skyrim playthru

so im tryna see what mod packs i wanna use

[marsh sedge]

That was ive heard is insanely difficult, cause its based around an overhaul called Requiem

doable, but requires lot of planning

But that one probably tweaks the most gameplay changes

[cloud geyser]

holy shit i need more ram to play it lmaooo

it requires 32gb

[marsh sedge]

Yeah

[cloud geyser]

do u know any good mod packs then?

[marsh sedge]

https://youtu.be/6KeVqcjLbrk?si=yWbf060NvR0Bttp7 he has a potato version

[cloud geyser]

it hurts to be called a potato bc i dont met ram requirements

[marsh sedge]

but the other one is saw that seemed cool cause i like the author was “Eldergleam”

[cloud geyser]

i met all the others

[marsh sedge]

Id take a peek at that

[cloud geyser]

alright ill look

ty

[marsh sedge]

Besides that id say just google some modpacks for 2025

Maybe some look better for your tastes

[cloud geyser]

eldergleam certainly looks good

[marsh sedge]

Yeah the author has a good YouTube channel and he puts together a lot of great showcase videos, most of the mods he has in his list, i have in mine

i personally would go with that one

[cloud geyser]

i think i just might

thanks king

[marsh sedge]

I hope using wabbajack is simple enough i havent done it myself. I know you download the mods through that app, then you get the LOD files from the nexus page

or any generated files that way

[cloud geyser]

does he have a guide

[marsh sedge]

His channel is Capt Panda on YouTube, not 100%

[cloud geyser]

alg thanks

ill look

[marsh sedge]

Maybe somewhere on there or on the nexus?

[cloud geyser]

he seems to have one

so ill watch that

ill let u know how it goes

[marsh sedge]

Sounds good

[cloud geyser]

@marsh sedge do u use mo2? or nmm?

[cloud geyser]

also do u have anniversary edition? i feel like i might need it

[marsh sedge]

Mo2

Way better

[marsh sedge]

I have the most up to date version of skyrim but i have not purchased the AE content

[marsh sedge]

Ill add tho that some modpacks might require CC/AE content, but i cant say for sure if Eldergleam does

i know LoreRim does

[cloud geyser]

Elder gleam is 360gb 😭 😭

[marsh sedge]

LOL

[marsh sedge]

howd it go

[cloud geyser]

I had to do some uni work but I think I need a smaller mod pack

Idk if I have the space rn for that

[marsh sedge]

rip

lemme take a look now that im on pc

[cloud geyser]

Thanks

[marsh sedge]

i think jadekae was using this one? https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/77497

[marsh sedge]

@cloud geyser out of curiosity are you opposed to following guides or are u just looking to download smth and go

my friend sent me this, but im not too sure how it works. it says wabbajack but might be a guide

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/14223
https://thephoenixflavour.com/tpf/introduction/

asking him if he knows any others

https://www.nexusmods.com/news/14880 ive heard of this one too

[cloud geyser]

probably download and go

[marsh sedge]

hmm

just get more storage then

[grand trail]

pog

[cloud geyser]

probably do tbh
