Katastrophe
King of Tales
Hey all. To be quick, after my MacBook suffered an untimely and watery death, I've constructed my first PC. Though it was originally built just with playing League in mind, I can't pass up the opportunity to finally play Skyrim on the PC instead of just 360. In my time of playing since launch, I've heard about TONS of mods and there's a few I consider "must haves" but don't remember the name of, or where they were posted. So I'm hoping you guys can recognize the mods, as well as give feedback (maybe they sounded good on a YouTube video but really aren't worth it), and recommend some cosmetic mods. Below are the specs, but let me know if you need any more information:
Processor: Intel Pentium CPU G3258 @ 3.20 GHz
RAM: 8 GB
Graphics Card: GeForce GTX 750
1 - I believe this one was called "Second Life" or something? You were supposed to answer a few generic questions about your character's backstory and you're given an alternative starting location and inventory based on this background. You might, for example, start as a poor farmer in Rorikstead. There are a few mods like this, I believe, so please recommend what you think is the best one.
2 - There was one that changed the skill trees completely. I believe it did things like added an entire branch for unarmed damage, possibly split up light armors into Light and medium, etc. I honestly don't remember much about it, or reading much in the way of reviews but I remember the design seemed spot on.
3 - A "hardcore mode" mod. I know there's a ton. Something that makes the game as realistic as possible, like Fallout: New Vegas. I've always loved doing Skyrim journals and what not so I hope to continue those, but now with pictures and much more realism.
4 - A mod that makes dragons appear randomly, regardless of whether or not you've completed the Western Watchtower mission. I'm sure that has to be a thing.
5 - Is there a mod for polearm weapons? I don't know why the game is all about dragons and I can't be a legitimate Dragoon!
6 - Harder stealth mechanics. There's no reason for me to be able to just crouch and disappear in a shadow just because my Sneak is at 100...
7 - Cosmetic upgrades. Nothing my computer can't comfortably handle, preferably. This could be textures (especially for players, the console standards are just ugly as sin for male PCs) or sounds. I also really like some of the mods I've seen that just add new clothing, or reskin existing ones to just look better/more unique.
8 - Your personal recommendations?
