Hey all

[arctic73]

Hi everyone. New member, LOVE Skyrim, been looking for ways to make it more realistic. Really excited to be a part of this site

Hey there. I love making the game more balanced and immersive. If you're playing on PC, I would suggest the Skyrim Nexus (and probably the Nexus Mod Manager). I have some great mods from there, from adjusting item weight and arrow speed to rewriting the follower AI packages. Also tossed in a few dragon mods to make them tougher, and hunt in packs.

If you're on a console, then the realism is going to have to be a little more self-imposed. It's still doable, but you'll have to think about it a little more.

I play on xbox, so ive been doing my best. Sleep at night, eat, constantly drinking. It isnt as easy as it would be on pc, what with all those mods

Agreed, but it's still fun. Before I started installing mods, I used to do things like refuse armor that was on a corpse. Because, well, it belonged to someone else, and it didn't seem like it would fit me. I also try to walk everywhere, unless there's a reason for me to hurry. I was surprised how beautiful the game world was, once I started really just meandering through it.

Right? i hate the people (ie my friend) who bash Skyrim's looks and graphics. It really is a gorgeous world. And I dont use other people's armor now (new character), and i try to limit what i carry
