Better Horses mod allows for tampling against none, all or only hostile NPCs...

There is a Combat Mod out there. Cant remember the name of it off top of head. Type Combat into Nexus and your sure to find it...

On the topic of 'New games are suxxorz': I owned a PS2. 1:100 ratio of good games to shit games. Nothing has changed!

The thing is that the ratio was always like that, it's just that bad games are forgotten while good ones are remembered, hence the feeling that almost everything in media was better in "olden days".

Taht or we put up with a lot more crap then we do now days. I mean look at DnD. If you ever played it when it was new it was awesome and you would kill anyone that would say otherwise. But then again if you look at the rules you wouldnt be able to make sense of it all that well. Heck Wizards had one spell at the most. Magic Missile. And he could only cast it once...

I got complex needs mod, now I have huge penalties and I dont understand where they are coming from. Mayby I ate too many carrots or not enough potatoes? Or am I lacking minerals or vitamins? Mayby I should just drink some water, or wait until the food I have eaten is digested?

check your scrolls. see what and where the problem is. as you click on foods there is a button called special info or so. it tells you the contents of the food. stop drinking booze. sadly no dwarves.

Ps2 is the "olden days for me". PSX if I count the first seven years of my life. You're basically explaining my observation :P

I thoroughly recommend realistic lighting, everything is so dark*!

*As dark as Oblivion's headless zombie cave. You know the one.

 I'm not too much a fan of the darker dungeon mods. Any change to make things darker will have to mess with the fog and light sources so the fog doesn't light up distant geometry and light sources have a decent radius. Even candles can illuminate a pretty decent area with a dim light, why do all the lights in this game have super intense lamination but go out ten feet? Lights don't need to be brighter they just need to go farther.

 And as said before keep a few light sources to make the dungeons interesting, choices between using your own light sources or utilizing whatever crummy sources are available and being able to use the left hand.

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

God, was it hard using mods to create a decent character in Oblivion.

Skyrim is much better in terms of character making.

anyways, yeah, once some nice combat overhauls and enemy rebalance mods get made ill play skyrim some more, this is totally not a vaguely disguised coverup for that rant in the spoiler, it is also not a near repeat of my post a bit back, there is no cake.

Part of me thinks Skyrim Nexus needs to send all the adult content over to its own webspace. Not because I'm a prude about sexual content or anything, but it does make it impossible for any actual mods to show on their Top Mod list because it's so choked up with nudity, thong and slut armor re-textures. I was browsing SN daily to see what was showing up, but after a while it became too much of a chore.

At the very least the blatantly porn content. When I'm looking for new ways to kill my enemies, I don't think I'd be very interested in naked ladies if you know what I mean.

Quote from: Phantom
Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

This is a pretty good face mod, although the rough edges on some stuff and the faded colors on the clother make me wonder if it's your graphics settings or if some of the colors are just weird and the hair is kinda sharp.
