TES V: Skyrim

[BS1]

I still haven't bothered with the majority of the story in Skyrim. I just finished Dark Brotherhood last night, and I finished the Thieve's Guild a few days ago. I had a hard time continuing the Dark Brotherhood quests; story wise both were meh. (I don't really like the dialogue in this game.)

I've mainly just been exploring while playing. I'm not sure where to go next, I've got so many icons cluttering up the map already.

PS: I killed a dragon with my daggers the other day. Dragons lost their awesomeness after the first couple dragon fights. They just feel like a nuisance now. I could install the mod making them harder to fight, but there would probably still be too many dragons spawning.

Okay so a few days ago I walked up to a sleeping dragon.



Put on my shrouded gloves, pulled out my knife... ended up backstabbing him. He immediantly woke up, flew straight up in the air, flew around a bit then came crashing to the ground, at which point I started absorbing his soul and looting his delicious dragon scales.

I think that's the same dragon I killed last night with my daggers! Just like you mentioned it flew up into the air and crashed into the ground.  ;D

Krosis and his staff of fireballs was a tiny bit of a bitch even with my sneaky, snipey playstyle.  The mask is pretty cool, but ruins matching set perk.

There's an even better mask on an even more annoying priest near a dragon and the best stealth shout in the game. Not only will it ruin your set perk, but it looks horrible with any stealth gear due to it being yellow.

My newly acquired dragon armor can take on anything. Where is this beast?

Anyone using mods to enhance their skyrim experience ?
thought i would ask and see if there were some that you guys consider to be "must have"

my list so far is looking like this

not pictured is:
   SKSE (skyrim script extender, Used for SkyUI, and meminfo (fps meter)
   SkyBoost (Engine optimization gives you another 6-12 fps)

So I came across this ork selling some scooma. I tried to intimidate him into giving me the stuff for free, he got all insulted and started attacking me. Thing is, he didn't have any weapons or magic, so he just put up his fists and started punching my dragon scale armor. I started backing up laughing at him, naturally recovering more HP then the damage he could dish out.

Then I back up next to a bear. The guy suddenly forgot I existed.




Dude put up a good fight.

Steam Workshop is now hosting mods, yay for simplicity. Hoping the creator of the borderless windowed mode moves it over to workshop.

Skyrim | Where to Find - Fall of the Space Core, Vol. 1

[Vongore]

Well..

I've been having problems with the Workshop. Every mod works perfectly except the "Fall of the Space Core" one which shows up the message "Failed to extract plugin from ckm!" everytime i try to download it. i've tried to put the mod on the folder manually but it doesn't works either.

Any ideas?

Upon starting up Skyrim today, I found myself with a bit of a problem.



I feel like it's a problem relating to today's patch, anyone else experiencing this?

Nevermind, It's likely mod related, gonna reinstall after a bit and see what happens.
