@Yucci 6 ай бұрын

Requiem is a mod that overhauls most parts of the game. It’s a huge mod, so compatibility with other mods isn’t the best but I recommend checking it out. It does make Skyrim harder, but it isn’t a Hardcore mod. It makes Skyrim more dangerous, so it’s about preparation. The mod is basically an overhaul and makes it so enemies don’t level. Meaning you can’t go kill vampires and stuff at level 1, instead you need to improve your skills, level up and prepare for the fight. I don’t like hardcore mods, to me it feels pointless when hardcore modes just add 5x HP to enemies for example. This mod doesn’t give enemies more HP instead it actually balances the game

I have been looking forever for the best Lore Friendly mod list that isn't just Vanilla+ but also goes over the top with new gameplay and graphics mods. I am very weary of certain mods straying to far from the vanilla feel which seems to be too common in most videos showcases/mod lists. Can't wait to install these mods and see what others you have to recommend in the next one!

A good complement or substitute to SkyShards is Ice Claw! It's similar : you have like 108 small blue mushrooms scattered around Skyrim and each time you eat one you increase permanently your carrying capacity by 2. It's not huge but it's something, and it's quite immersive - being discrete. But love all of that and will definitely try them out! Mannaz does feel a bit less immersive than Imperious though it does seem to bring in some of its features.

@maverickloggins5470 8 ай бұрын

I’d never heard of honed metal before but now it seems like something so obvious lol. My favorite alternative to skyshards is Perk Points and More Gold for Bounty Quests. It does what it says on the tin honestly, I think you can edit the amount you receive of each, but point is I like to expand on my skills more without needing to level so quickly and thus fast track through all the different monster variants and stuff. But at the same time I think it’s pretty balanced since instead of finding them you at least are still doing some sort of quest for the perk points. Ordinator also has the 20% and 50% more perk points plugins, which give you a second perk point every 5 or 2 levels respectively, there might be an equivalent plugin for the skill overhaul you mentioned. I agree with what you said like I think it really makes Skyrim more fleshed out to have more perk points, otherwise it’ll be a significant amount of time before you start branching out beyond the basic “do/resist more damage with x” perks, and so you can spend more of the game using the unique spells/skills you want vs. leveling up to be able to use them

@officialtoddhoward69 4 ай бұрын

I like this, it feels like an actual enchantment to the game rather than a replacement. Aside from having a certain aura of smugness, most mod channels that try turning Skyrim into a "true RPG" basically use so many unnecessary mods (that most players' systems won't be able to handle) to turn it into a completely different and unrecognizable game, however these mods feel like an extension/reimagining of Skyrim, as if the base game were simply rough ideas and these improvements are fully fleshed out products

@mystechry 8 ай бұрын

Try Gardden's Perk trees merged. It combines Ordinator, SPERG and Path of Sorcery, but leaves out Adamant and Vokrii. Trust me, it also has tons of perks and saves you 5 mod slots and does not force you into Mysticism. It's also a bit cleaner than Vokriinator I'd say. Also it has official patches which makes the block and power attack perks not obsolete if you use Valhalla and MCO.
