Discussion I know people like this guy, but I always thought Kodlak is a bit pathetic

0 Upvotes

This one lives its life as a werewolf but now that he's thinking about death, it wants to get rid of the werewolf thing so he can get into Sovngard? I don't think that's a noble thing to do, and perhaps a bit cowardly, it gives like a... criminal turning to religion at the last moment so it can go into heaven or something kind of vibe... Maybe I do not understand for I am an Argonian, and I don't fully understand the Nord way of thinking, if so, please I would like to hear upon your opinions...

Discussion Is the Whiterun tundra actually a tundra?

4 Upvotes

Probably a unpopular opinion, but the whiterun tundra doesn't really match a real life tundra. It's a low flatland, surrounded by mountains with forests. A tundra is typically too far north(/south) or too high up for vegetation types with more trees or generally more demanding plants, but in this case the higher and the more northern areas feature forests. So isn't it rather a heath instead of a tundra?

Question Need A Teason To Join Stormcloaks

1 Upvotes

I've been playing off and on since launch. My characters are almost always morally ambiguous, always driven more by curiosity than a set of morals, good or bad. More in it for the rewards than anything else. Consequently, I find self usually playing either Khajit or Dunmer, and always female.

I've gone all the way through the civil war questline maybe once without mods. That was a long time ago. I chose Imperial back then, because Ulfric is endlessly problematic, and Inlove the idea of Skyrim having a High Queen instead of a king. (Girl power, late stage 90s feminism, and all that.)

This time, I want to join the Stormcloaks, just for a change of pace, but I can't think of a good reason why a female Khajit Dragonborn would go along with Ulfric and his nonsense.

I've read arguments for both sides in this forum, and have seen some good posts! But I'm still having trouble. Besides the fact that his voice is earth-shatteringly AMAZING, what logical reason could I give my endlessly curious Khajit for joining Ulfric and his band of malcontents?

(Right now, Khajit is a vampire, leader of the thieves' guild, the Listener, and the Archmage. She plans and n finishing up with the companions when she is done with the vampires, killing Alduin, and finally heating the Nlack Knight before retiring. She is also a mother of two and may or may not have a thing for saucy, living shelving units.)

Honestly, Stormcloak or Imperial?

0 Upvotes

1st time around I went Stormcloak. Now I'm on second round thinking imperial. Any advantages to one over the other? I've been delaying the decision trying to run as many ancillary missions as possible.

The quest line for the companions is quite controversial as they are known to be Warriors and honorable, but most of them always say they only do it for the money and the glory.. and for the werewolf aspect by the end, only one is a werewolf.. aela..

Mod help

Can someone explain mods? Never tried mods (series x btw) until tonight. How does load order work? I'm trying to use the hand a half mod but I can't get it to work so I'm thinking it might be the load order? I have a few other mods like several project clarity and one hand run and one hand sprint but I haven't texted any except hand and a half. That one is on top followed by project clarity then one hand run and sprint as Google AI said but no luck

hey friends, i decided it might be a fun idea to go and record some audiobook-style reading of the books in the game with a bit of ambient game noise and pretty scenery for those who have an interest in the books and lore, or those who like to sleep to a bit of Skyrim ambience and talking ^^

i'm not much of a narrator or anything but if this sort of thing is interesting to some i may just continue to do more and improve, so i'd love some thoughts and feedback :)

Screenshot/Clip A Nord in Riverwood has been apprehended for crimes against an elf.

Post image
56 Upvotes

During a routine inspection of the primitive settlement of Riverwood, I uncovered a rather distasteful affair.

A Nord by the name of Sven had taken it upon himself to forge a letter in the name of a Bosmer resident, Faendal, with the apparent intention of disgracing him before a local woman.

It seems the Nords have grown so accustomed to their own insolence that they now believe themselves entitled to slander their elven betters without consequence.

I could not permit such an offense to go unanswered.

Upon being confronted, the Nord insisted that this was merely a personal dispute concerning a woman, as though his petty excuses were of any interest to an officer of the Aldmeri Dominion.

The offender was promptly apprehended. I will escort him to the Thalmor Embassy, where he will be questioned regarding his conduct and any further activities that may prove contrary to the interests of the Dominion.

The inhabitants of Riverwood would do well to remember that the Dominion does not overlook offenses against its interests, however insignificant the perpetrator.

We are watching.

So I have the Serana Dialogue Expansion mod and apparently Serana can ask balgruf stuff if you talk to him. So she asked about Nazeem, how he talks about being important. Balgruf says he's useless but harmless, mostly. So fuck you Nazeem even the jarl doesn't like you 😂

Question Is there anyway to get the Skyrim political map looking like this without mods?

Post image
75 Upvotes

Watched a couple ranking Jarls videos and was wondering if there was a way to get most of the good Jarls on the throne’s of their holds.

Basically I want the assholes (Siddgier and Skald) gone, try to keep the corrupt business people (Mavan and the Silverbloods) away from the throne and try to get Korir out of Winterhold for the college.

I thought I could maybe do it with Season Unending then clean it up via the Civil War questline but it looks not to be. While I can get some of the holds moved around that I want moved, I can’t get all of it moved and to get the major hold I give back, I have to go deep into the Reunification of Skyrim quest and put some of the bad Jarls on the thrones.

Is there anything I missed or do I have to use mods?

So I want a tattoo that involves text being written in draconic symbols. Main thing I need to know is if that's even possible. Is there a generally accepted dragon alphabet? Some translator that uses the symbols? I'd like it to be accurate if possible and some sources I've seen are saying different things.

Use hadvar and ralof to farm one handed skills and levels and put the skill points into health and stamina. Basically they can't die so as soon and you get a weapon Star tagging them with the weapon do this and recycle let their health come back and do it again.

Bone meal

So, when you kill a skeleton, you often get bone meal.

But...you NEVER get bone meal from killing a person, even though there is a skeleton inside that you also killed!

Is this a bug? I would like this fixed please. Kthxbai.
