Picked up Skyrim again this weekend

[Nograts]

Okay so I'm confused. I just looked up 'SkyRe' and it appears to be: Skyrim Remade, which is just a perk tree overhaul.

There is another thing called Skyrim Requiem which is a complete overhaul of the game.

Then there is Perkus Maximus which is an (updated?) complete overhaul of the game. Which one are you talking about norseamd?

Requiem.

Prepare to outdarksoul Dark Souls.

I need to go back and play this game. My initial play through was on a 360 so after I built a PC recently I fired up Skyrim. Without a single mod it obviously looked night/day compared to the 360.

Anyone have good class suggestions for a second play through? I think my first time through I was primarily ranged/bow. Would be pretty cool to go hack and slash or even mage if that isn't too cumbersome.

I went with a sword and board warrior with a little restoration magic and enchanting thrown in the first time I played.

My current play through is with a stealth bow user. I think the bow user is much more fun, so I might suggest going with a mage the next time around. A pure warrior is fun to a point but it got a little boring once I had crafted a couple of awesome swords and heavy armor.

I also modded the game quite a bit for the second time around. I didn't change a whole lot in terms of gameplay (I tried Requiem in the past and it just isn't for me) but graphically you can make this game look awesome. I also installed some follower tweaks to make them more useful.

Requiem is a hardcore mode overhaul of the entire game system, basically. Norsemd is a big fan . I'd say generally that it appeals to a relatively niche playerbase. I almost gave it a try. Might still.

Unfortunately not until the tail end of my weekend so I only got a few hours to play.

I downloaded nexus mod manager and a few mods:

-More armors
-More weapons
-Ordinator skill tree overhaul (400+ perks)
-Immersive cities/creatures/forts (way more NPC's/mobs)
-Item recycling (smelt weapons/armor to base materials)
-Soul trading (trade dragon souls for perks)
-Apocalypse magic (more spells)
-More enchants
-Alternate start location/story
-iNeed (required to eat/sleep/drink)
-Few patches/HD textures

Having a blast so far, have NO idea what to do, I'm just kind of wandering around killing stuff and making money/trying to level.

Any mods that you have experience on that were epic? What about the quest lines? I have all DLC. I think I did the mages guild and the fighters guild but that was about it, never finished the main questline.

Thoughts?

Become a werewolf... its good times.

Become a werewolf... its good times.

I did the vampire stuff years ago, sided with them and made them turn me...I remember that being fun. If I can stop starting over and changing my character builds I'll have to try it.

Someone mentioned sword and board style playthrough. I'm tempted to do that since I always end up going stealth/bow. Is block even worth it vs. 2 handers though?

That decapitation fatality....ftw. :sneaky:

You seem to have never seen any troll yet.

Block always seemed to work well for me, assuming you get the timing right. Plus, having a shield gives you yet another item to throw some nice enchants on.
