Came to post the same thing. Happy I waited. A few stores will have it for under 30. Much better value for a game I already own.

Weather and saturation mods can make the game look totally different.







Exactly the same reshade.

The first two are CoT. The 3rd is vivid weathers and a saturation mod.

Different times of day, but holy crap.

Anyone on xbone having problems with Armor mods taking over the vanilla armor classes?

they were supposed to be extras, not retextures. So they should still allow vanilla to work??

I haven't turned on any mods on the XBone, does it disable to the achievements again like it does for Fallout 4?

Probably better to ask what mods I wasn't using.

As far as graphics:

A better looking Skryim(reshade). too much brightness and sharpness. Still looks pretty good tho.
Skryim 2017 textures
4k mountains
realistic lighting overhaul
SMIM
whatever saturation mod I used(can't remember the name now)
Vivid weathers
LOD trees
Realistic Water 2

Few more but I can't remember them.

I'll wait for Boris to release his real vision ENB. Then I'll come back to it.

Well that and the skyrim script extender gets released.

Remember folks:

-Enchant gear with +alchemy
-Make +Enchant potion
-Enchant gear with stronger +alchemy
-Make stronger +Enchant potion
-repeat as wanted

-Enchant gear with +smithing super buff
-Make your items stupid strong at the workbench / grinding stone
-Enchant gear with massive buffs from enchant potions that grant huge enchant buffs



if you don't want to break the game I suggest just buffing stamina to the point where you can kinda just sprint everywhere and carry a lot of stuff. Huge quality of life improvement that keeps combat somewhat challenging.

Also remember that if you misplaced a few perks, you can finish the dragonborn DLC that was included with the game and respec one tree at a time for a cost of 1 dragon soul per tree. and you can keep doing it.

I have 4 at level 30 that I'd like to place elsewhere myself. I'm about half way through the DLC.

Genius. I will eventually play this game again. Gonna have to go this route. Only Stamina and Magika upgrades.

Drop some early perk points into alchemy / enchanting (2 in each of the base perks), get the black star reusable soul gem and mace of molag bal asap. That will make sure you always have a black soul for full enchanting power along with strong enchanting potions.

If anyone wants to know how to do an item dupe let me know.

Perfect for leveling smithing, alchemy and enchanting.

Dupe a bunch of crafting materials and soul gems.

I am at lvl 37 now and just started doing it to get over that 80-100 hump of enchanting / smithing. Did it legit before now.

Just started a two-handed orc. Spent more time picking flowers than murdering. Need to reassess priorities.

Exactly why I dupe crafting mats.

More time for killing. I have roughly 150 grand soul gems filled with grand souls in my Breezehome in Whiterun.

Daedra hearts, Ebony Ingots, Dragon Bones / Scales, all that can be duped and you can stay out there killing and not worrying about picking flowers or worrying about the weight of bones you are carrying.

Sometimes you have to stop and pick some thistle after smashing a skull in with a warhammer.

That's just life.

Well I know from now on when I start a new character, I am not going through the shite of leveling my crafting little bits at a time.

My next character will be a ranger - 2h sword, light armor, archery, sneak, alchemy, smithing, enchanting.

I hate the crafting grind so I will just get it done early and have badass equipment early.

eh, i'm 1 hitting everything with a bow. It's at 190 + arrows at 24. And sneak X5=OP

Some of these quest mods are really great for the Bone.

I know the feeling. My 1h ebony sword does 185 + 20 fire damage.

I am at the armor cap (complete ebony set upgraded to legendary stats) with no shield but I use the shield of Ysgramor to get the 20% magic resist and the shield perk that negates 50% of elemental magic damage.

Anyone else's game glitches in Ansilvund? Maybe it's the mods I'm using, mostly scenic, but i couldn't use any spell except conjuration without the game crashing.
