The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim

There is? I may have to read up on it D:

That would be kinda extreme, I mean, the dragons are HUGE to start with, hah! But I’d love to become a fun-sized dragon. There has to be a mod for this somewhere!

#62

Give me a sec and I’ll find it.

EDIT: Here it is! https://skyrim-online.com/

EDIT 2: You asked for a dragon transformation mod too, there is one here: https://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/25261

Dragons in this game are pussies, though. If anything it would be a challenge. :stuck_out_tongue:

Honestly, if it did get added, I’d probably just spend most of my time flying around and maybe spitting fire at random deer.

#64

They’re pussies in low level… Wait til you get to ancient, revered and legendary dragons. :fffuuu:

So did you guys know that there’s actually an in-lore explanation for how you can pause in the middle of a battle and starting guzzling health potions? It’s called CHIM.

It’s a bizarre metaphysical concept that basically involves acknowledging the fact that the universe doesn’t really exist. I think. It’s rather confusing.

#66

I’m just going to keep thinking the fact that you can eat and shit in the middle of the battle is a game mechanic.

#67

Well, it is. It’s just a game mechanic with some crazy lore behind it.

#68

My husbando had told me about this, but I never got around to check. I’ll read this later tonight, sounds really interesting :slight_smile: Although I just pretend I’m not really pausing the game, but rather, actually drinking as quickly as I can, holding the bottle with one hand, while jumping/hacking away with the other. It’s more fun that way, wish we still had acrobatics!

I’d never played an Elder Scrolls game before, so all these links are kinda mind-boggling. But eh, it’s cool still.

And Jack, thanks for the links, I’ll take a look! :smiley:

#69

No problemo. Just ask if you ever need help with finding any other mods.

#70

I do, actually. Are there any up-to-date performance-enhancing mods out there I should use?

#71

These might help… I don’t know though, haven’t tested them. But it is worth a shot.

Thanks! I’ll be sure to check those out. I’ve been looking for tweaks but haven’t found anything terribly useful to me particularly.

Edit: The thing that makes this tricky is that my current system is actually using an integrated graphics card, which combined with my lack of technical knowledge makes me fairly clueless when it comes to improving performance.

#73

Why do people want Dragon riding? It’s fun for 20 minutes and then just ruins the game. What’s the point in devs spending years and years finely constructing an environment when you will just fly over it all.

Same thing happened with World of Warcraft. Flying mounts killed world PVP and made everything so easy and pointless.

Good devs know when to ignore the gamers.

GAMER; YAAAAR! I WANT TO FLY A DRAGON AND KILL EVERYTHING INSTANTLY WITH FIRE BREATH!

DEV; That would ruin the game

GAMER; I AM THE GAMER AND I KNOW BEST!!!111 BAAWWWWW

#74

I’ve found a modthat has a ride-able chicken; there’s nothing else I may ever need.

#75

Honestly, when I heard about the dragon riding, my first thought was just that you’d be able to ride a dragon only to get to Morrowind.

Edit: Does anyone know of a mod that lets you refund perks or something? I could really use one.

#76

That would be cooler than fast-travel, at least.

Unrelatedly, I had Steam crash on me and when I restarted, all my saves, settings and mod load order were wiped clean :fffuuu: Holy shit I almost had a heart attack… But I managed to restore the saves, and made a backup on dropboks. That was really scary :frowning:

#77

That sounds terrifying. Doesn’t Steam automatically back up your saves, though?

#78

It should, but everytime I try to restore or upload my saves to the cloud, it gives me an error :meh: So I’ll go the good ole copypasta way, for now.

#79

I’m betting on dragon riding being a no-go, or atleast instanced to a particular area.

The whole reason they took levitation out was because of all the glitches and crap you could find if you were flying about.

Is there a list to these particular files that are making people think dragon riding?
